Stars Sports Academy Detection Tournament: Fans taunt Wusum Stars after Francess FC defeat

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson
While others were hailing players for their impressive show of soccer skills on the opening day of the Star Sport Sierra Leone Academy organized detection tournament in Makeni, some fans of Wusum Stars taunted their players for bowing 2-1 to Francess FC from Kenema. Although the Makeni based Sierra Leone Premier League side won their other game 2-0 against BSV Football Club from Guinea courtesy of close ranger goals netted by forward Issa Apex Tarawallie and midfielder Shayma Kamara, their supporters criticized them for earlier losing to a 1st division team which they considered "humiliating" on their part.
Reacting to the fans criticism after their win against the Guinean non-division side, Wusum Stars Assistant coach-II Abdul “German” Bangura apologized to their fans on his players behalf and promised to do better in their remaining games, but blamed off season break for his players “satisfactory output,” advancing that they had consented to participate in the detect tournament to expose their players to international scouts. In the other matches, Stars Sports Academy from Freetown impressed as the only team to secure successive wins in their two matches played on the day 2-1 against BSV Football Club from Guinea and 2-0 against Francess FC from Kenema while Kholifa Stars of Magburaka defeated Mems Plus 1-0 in their only game played on the day. Reacting to day one of their on-going tournament after curtains were drawn, owner of Stars Sports Academy Engineer Yankumba Jusu Tarawally praised the participating teams and the people of Makeni for being hospitable to them as organizers and the visiting teams. He ended by expressing hope that their two partners Bevan Dicks and Peter Smith both scouts from Belgium and Germany will select enough players from the teams participating in the tournament to help them achieve their dreams of becoming professional footballers. The Detection Tournament will continue today from 11:00am to later in the day among the same participating six clubs from Sierra Leone and Guinea to further offer the two international scouts Bevan Dicks and Peter Smith who’re famous for scouting and facilitating transfers of rising African soccer Stars from Africa to other continents such as Europe, Asia, and America the chance to identify the best of the best players between the ages of 17 to 19 years in Makeni before they head to Freetown for another three days from 7th to 10th of August 2023 to detect players below 15 years at a similar tourney.

Senegal, first African team to beat England, but not first to score three goals

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson Claim: Soccer World HQ, in a Facebook post , claimed that Senegal is the first African team to beat England and the first to score three goals against them. Verdict: Partly True! Senegal is the first African team to beat England, but not the first to score three goals against them. Full Text The England senior men’s national football team, nicknamed the “Three Lions,” played their first match against Scotland in 1872. That match ended goalless but marked the beginning of an intense soccer rivalry between both nations, dubbed the “Auld Enemy.” Since 1872-2025, the England national team has achieved its 1000-game milestone in November 2019 when they played Montenegro at the Wembley Stadium. England's all-time head-to-head record shows that they’ve played a whopping 1072 matches against 100 countries, won 615 games, drew 255, and lost 200. Senegal, on the other hand, is one of Africa’s most famous football nations, nicknamed the “Lions of Teranga.” In 2002, ...
