When Mohamed Salah decided not to fast to play last season’s Champions League final against Real Madrid, two things happened; firstly he got a very nasty injury that broke his shoulder, left him in tears and in the hospital. Secondly his team went on to lose that game 3-1 to Real Madrid.

Make your own judgement about Salah’s decision; but some called it Karma.

 The month of Ramadan is here. For Muslims, this is the month when they avoid eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset, as prescribed by Islamic law.

So here is the thing, we have six teams playing in the Premier League from Friday to Sunday; two of them are in the top of the table, three of them are right at the bottom and one of them is just in the middle.

It is safe to say that by the end of the weekend, things would have shaped up a bit all over the table.

Lions drop points in Kono

So Lions dropped two points over the weekend in Kono. For the title race, this means instead of leading 2^nd place FC Kallon by four points or at least one point (if FC Kallon wins), they are now leading them by just two points. Yes, just two points. FC Kallon could go top of the table with a win against Old Edwardians this Saturday.

Champions’ League is monotonous; it has been for a while. Every season there are usual suspects who are guaranteed to make it to at least the semi-finals. They are Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and perhaps Juventus.

But this season this line up has been altered, and quite significantly. One team who have forced their way through are Ajax of Amsterdam. Like sweet little kids, they have rudely interrupted the European football party and we’ve all loved their daring, playful, stubborn attitude.

When East End Lions missed that last penalty kick, that was it. Kamboi Eagles became the first champion of the Independence Day trophy. But this did not just happen; this was not meant to happen. They knocked out two of the biggest teams - FC Kallon and East End Lions - in the country on their way to the title podium.

This was not a mere stroke of luck. This was achieved through sheer hard work and guts.
