Hello and welcome one and all to The Athletic, where we have a festive cracker for you.
It’s the third day of the Africa Cup of Nations and today we have Nigeria vs Tanzania on the menu.
The Super Eagles have one of the most talented squads in the tournament but have endured a tumultuous qualification period (more on that later) and did not make the cut for the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
So they will be desperate to get their AFCON campaign off to a flyer and beat Tanzania in Fes today. Can they manage it?
There’s only one time and place to find out: with our live coverage, right here.

NFL Week 17 betting, odds, lines: 5 biggest storylines, including a trio of (bad) Christmas games
The NFL tried its best for Christmas. But when you put together a schedule before May, it’s hard to predict what will happen by the end of the NFL season.There are three games on Christmas, and all of them looked like good matchups in the spring. Quarterback injuries and disappointing teams led to all three games having almost no impact on the playoff picture. Instead of Patrick Mahomes and Jayden Daniels, we might get Chris Oladokun and Josh Johnson. But, we’ll still watch. And probably bet on it too.Chris Oladokun of the Kansas City Chiefs could get his first NFL start on Christmas against the Broncos.

Kloke: Leafs assistant coach Marc Savard paid the price. Players need to step up
There’s been plenty missing from the Maple Leafs this season.Production from the power play? Check. Consistency from top stars? That’s been largely absent, too.Earlier in the season, it was a solid defensive structure that was missing, though that element of their game has since improved. There have been nights when sheer effort has been lacking, but that’s come and gone.AdvertisementPerhaps the most striking thing that hasn’t been seen or heard from the Leafs during their most recent skid is a sense of accountability from players over how badly things have turned.Of course, blame for the Leafs sitting in last place in the Atlantic Division is shared: Coach Craig Berube has not always put together a structure best suited to his players; General manager Brad Treliving did not build a perfect roster; Marc Savard oversaw a power play that is last […]
Po trestu za krádež se biatlonistka Simonová objevila v olympijské nominaci
Devětadvacetiletá Simonová přišla o úvod olympijské sezony poté, co dostala za zneužití kreditních karet Justine Braisazové-Bouchetové od Francouzské lyžařské federace v listopadu půlroční trest, z toho pět měsíců podmíněně. Soud předtím vyměřil Simonové tříměsíční podmínku. Kromě toho dostala pokuty.Desetinásobná mistryně světa se před necelými dvěma týdny vrátila do Světového poháru 19. místem ve sprintu v Hochfilzenu. V sobotním stíhacím závodu v Annecy už útočila na stupně vítězů, doběhla čtvrtá.Francouzský biatlon může na olympijské hry vyslat 12 závodníků, v nominaci je zatím devět jmen. Nechybějí Braisazová-Bouchetová ani současná jednička Světového poháru Lou Jeanmonnotová.V rychlobruslařském týmu je i světový rekordman na 5000 m Timothy Loubineaud, jeden z hlavních soupeřů Metoděje Jílka.
