Tottenham Hotspur suffered their first defeat of their 2024/25 Europa League campaign as Turkish giants Galatasaray S.K. beat the North Londoners on a 3-2 margin at RAMS Park yesterday evening. While this was the first blitz in Ange Postecoglou’s European campaign for the ongoing season, there were many positives, particularly a Hotspur Way academy graduate in Will Lankshear.

The 19-year-old striker started upfront for the Lilywhites, and he grabbed his first senior goal on the night before hell broke out for the visitors as their goalscorers were red carded and Cimbom Aslan’s took all the points for the UEL league table. 

Lankshear lights up Istanbul, Spurs fall short

Despite the red card and Spurs defeat, ex-Spurs scout Bryan King was left impressed with the teenager’s performance despite his “naive” sending-off. In an exclusive interview with Tottenham News, he went on to speak about how the player worked hard and showed his physical presence upfront.

He said:

“Lankshear’s goal was a good one. To be fair, I thought he did well. He was physical and he got stuck in, although perhaps he was a bit too physical at times. I’d say that he was unlucky to be sent off.

“However, both of his challenges were bookable offences. With the first one, when you raise your arm you’re always going to get booked for that. Strikers cannot lead with their arms, and he did, which was a bit naive.

“As for the second booking, his tackle was late. However, other than that I thought he did well. He worked hard and got his first goal for the club.”

Getting the first goal is always a special moment for the player as well as supporters, particularly more so when it comes from someone who has been grinding out at the academy, and netting that first goal would have been a special feeling for Lankshear. However, a couple of poor challenges showed his inexperience, and he will more so learn from those going ahead. 

For Tottenham, having a striker with his ability out of the academy is a sign of positive things to come, especially if Richarlison continues to serve the sidelines. In Will, Tottenham have a young striker who is hungry and has the physique to make a real impact at the highest level.

Tom Izzo has said he is rejuvenated this season in his quest for a second championship, and that started on Monday night against Monmouth. The Hawks were actually 3-0 against Big Ten opponents, but Michigan State basketball took care of business to start its 2024 campaign.

Here’s our first good, great, bad, and ugly from their 24-point win, that was, at times in the second half, only single-digits. 

Good: Jeremy Fears, Floor General

There were some questions about whether Tre Holloman was ready to take over as starting point guard for the Spartans this year. I personally always saw the junior as an off-ball, sharp shooting wing. Which would leave MSU with an open point guard spot. Jeremy Fears has taken that opening in stride, and is commanding the floor. 

His stats didn’t quite show that scoring-wise, only finishing with three on the night, but he had eight assists, even with almost every Spartan missing all their threes, and very much looked the part of a confident point guard getting his players involved.

If he can continue to develop his offensive game, the Big Ten better watch out. 

Great: Michigan State-style rebounding

Similar to the 3-point shooting, spoiler-alert for later on, rebounding has been somewhat an issue for the Spartans in recent years. For the last 20 years, Michigan State basketball has hung its hat on being tough, physical, and out-rebounding anyone. They did that against Monmouth on Monday night, winning the rebounding battle 48-31. Offensively, Michigan State was essentially even with the Hawks, 13-11. But on the defensive end, MSU crushed them, 33-20. They did a great job limiting Monmouth’s offensive opportunities, which somewhat came in handy as they mounted a small comeback in the second half. Jaden Akins actually led the way for MSU with nine (!) rebounds. I’m not sure if that says more about Akins or our other bigs.

Michigan State is obviously a bigger, better team than Monmouth. They should win the rebounding effort against a team in the CAA, no offense to them. But it’s a good sign of things to come, as the Spartans will need to limit their opponents to just one shot per possession this season.

Bad: Xavier Booker’s offensive production

As always, I try to stay away from calling out one player’s performance in our good, great, bad, ugly articles. Sometimes guys just have off nights. With that being said, Xavier Booker’s offensive production was less than good on Monday night. After getting the start, Booker ended the night shooting just 2-for-10 from the field, and 0-for-4 from three. In 19 minutes, he had just four points, two rebounds, and two turnovers on the offensive end. 

Since stepping onto campus, Booker has been Michigan State’s X-factor. We’ve seen him light it up and be the true unicorn he is, but unfortunately, we’ve seen this type of performance even more. If the Spartans are to make any noise in the Big Ten this year, Booker will need to get this figured out. 

Ugly: 3-point shooting

What has now been a recurring theme in Tom Izzo-led teams, the Spartans’ 3-point shooting was a disaster on Monday night. Of the eight players who attempted a three against the Hawks, only three connected, none more than once. Michigan State basketball finished 3-for-18 (16.7%) from deep and, at times, almost gave Monmouth a way back into the game. Akins and Booker both didn’t let the cold performance deter them, attempting four each, but with the overall lack of scoring this team has, their 3-point shooting has to be not just average, but elite.

Botswana President Duma Boko Set to Legalize Undocumented Zimbabweans By Granting Them Temporary Work and Residence Permits

In a groundbreaking move, Botswana’s newly elected president, Duma Boko, has announced plans to provide temporary work and residence permits to undocumented Zimbabweans in the country.

Duma Boko, who recently made history by unseating Botswana’s ruling party of 58 years, shared his vision for the policy change during an interview with the BBC Africa Daily podcast.

The initiative is intended to address both the challenges and opportunities posed by Zimbabweans living in Botswana, many of whom have fled economic hardships in their home country.

Aiming to Formalize Zimbabwean Presence in Botswana

President Boko, 54, emphasized the need for an organized system to legalize the presence of Zimbabweans.

He acknowledged that while many Zimbabweans work in low-wage roles, such as domestic and farm labor, their undocumented status limits their access to basic amenities and often drives them to live outside the law.

“They come in and are undocumented. Then their access to amenities is limited, if it is available at all, and what they then do is they live outside the law and they commit crimes – and this brings resentment.

So what we need to do is to formalise, have a proper arrangement that recognises that people from Zimbabwe are already here,” President Duma Boko said.

President Boko highlighted how a lot Zimbabwean migrants in Botswana take on jobs that local citizens often find undesirable.

“A lot of these workers from Zimbabwe perform tasks that the citizen finds unattractive… they do jobs that would otherwise not get done and so there’s no conflict there,” Duma Boko said

Economic Integration and Skills Development

Boko’s plan aims to not only address labor shortages but also foster skills development among local citizens. He highlighted the opportunity for Batswana to learn essential skills, such as welding and plumbing, from Zimbabwean workers

“In any and every construction site in Botswana the majority of people with those skills are from Zimbabwe, so we need to do a twin programme of allowing them to come in and we utilise the skills that they have and in the process of utilising these skills we also engage in some sort of skills transfer,” he said.

Boko further explained that blocking skilled workers from entering Botswana would hinder the country’s growth, particularly in industries where there are skill shortages.

“We can’t stop people with skills from coming in when we don’t have the skills ourselves – we need to develop these skills and it takes time, so in the interregnum we need to have them come in properly, come in legally and be rewarded appropriately for the skills that they bring,” he added.

TKO Group Holdings, Inc. yesterday announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Ariel Emanuel, Executive Chair and CEO of TKO, said: “TKO’s solid third quarter results reflect continued strength across UFC and WWE, particularly in live events and brand partnerships. In light of this continued momentum, we now expect to deliver at the upper end of our full-year 2024 guidance range for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.

“Additionally, two weeks ago we announced the authorization of a robust capital return program and an agreement to acquire industry-leading sports assets that will power our profile, give us greater scale, strengthen our position in the sports marketplace, and accelerate returns for shareholders. Just over a year since UFC and WWE came together to form TKO, our conviction in this business is as strong as ever.”

Revenue increased 52%, or $232.1 million, to $681.2 million. The increase reflected the increase of $274.7 million of revenue at WWE, to $326.3 million, partially offset by a decrease of $42.6 million at UFC, to $354.9 million.

Net Income was $57.7 million, an increase of $35.7 million from $22.0 million in the prior year period.

When it comes to WWE, the company pulled $227.4 million in media rights and content, $51.1 million in live events, $21.7 million in sponsorship, and $26.1 million in consumer products.

WWE revenue was $51.6 million for the period from September 12, 2023 through September 30, 2023. Including WWE activity for the period from July 1, 2023 through September 11, 2023, WWE combined revenue was $287.3 million for the period from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023.

The increase of 14%, or $39.0 million, was primarily driven by an increase in media rights and content, live events, and sponsorship revenue. The increase in media rights and content revenue was primarily related to the contractual escalation of media rights fees as well as the timing of WWE’s weekly flagship programming, which resulted in an additional event in the current year period.

The increase in live events revenue was primarily related to an increase in ticket sales revenue. The increase in sponsorship revenue was primarily related to new sponsors and an increase in fees from renewals compared to the prior year period.

The full press release is at https://investor.tkogrp.com/news/news-details/2024/TKO-Reports-Third-Quarter-2024-Results/default.aspx.

Georgia residents will start Thursday under a muggy sky with thick cloud cover, as warm tropical air brings unseasonably humid conditions and scattered showers across the state.

🌧️ Why It Matters: The stubborn humidity and warm temperatures, unusual for November, are a direct result of a stalled weather front stretching across the Southeast. This front will continue to keep skies overcast and bring persistent moisture, impacting outdoor plans and leading to a damp, sticky end to the week.

🌥️ What’s Happening: The tropical moisture will keep much of the state cloudy with occasional breaks. Here’s what to expect:

• Morning temperatures are unseasonably high in the 60s, reaching the upper 70s by afternoon.

• Scattered light showers may develop throughout the day, with the humidity holding steady well into the evening.

🌡️ Looking Ahead: The pattern remains stuck until the weekend, with no immediate weather changes. Here’s how the forecast plays out:

• Friday and Saturday will stay humid, cloudy, and warm due to the stalled front.

• By Sunday, a stronger cold front could help push the boundary north, leading to more showers statewide.

🌞 Veterans Day Relief: Clearer skies and cooler, seasonal weather are likely after Monday as the front moves out, finally bringing sunshine by Tuesday.

🌀 Hurricane Rafael Update: Rafael intensified to a Category 3 hurricane before making landfall in Cuba. The storm is currently in the Gulf of Mexico, but experts say that the stalled front across the Southeast will help steer it southward, keeping it well clear of Georgia. Rafael is expected to weaken as it drifts over the Bay of Campeche by the weekend.
