For the time being though, the Champions League remains the blue print for glamorous international club competitions. On Saturday the African Champions League final second leg was contested [...]]]></description>

You&#8217;re got twin brothers. One&#8217;s the coach for Egyptian club El-Masry, the other is the assistant. First brother is Hossam Hassan, Egyptian national team legend. He&#8217;s sent off for disputing the referee&#8217;s calls, thus enters his brother Ibrahim. Ibrahim, as any brother of the world&#8217;s most capped player ever would, tries to carve his own [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Confederation of African Football named its shortlist of five for 2008 African Footballer of the Year yesterday, and Didier Drogba&#8217;s name was on there. Problem is: Didier Drogba wants nothing to do with the award.

		<description><![CDATA[Back in January we spent a month covering the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations on WCB. The three things I took away from this were: 
1) African football is on the rise, 2) Manucho is a damn fine footballer, and 3) There&#8217;s not nearly enough written about African football.
What I mean by 3) is that [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;re wondering why Zamalek keeper Mohamed Abdel Monsef looks so distraught in the above video, it&#8217;s because he knows Zamalek have just lost to Al-Ahly. Again. 
Moetaz Eno&#8217;s cracking goal one minute from time made it 2-0 to Al-Ahly in the Egyptian Super Cup, which means Zamalek have beaten Al-Ahly just once in the [...]]]></description>

This is the goal that won the massive Cairo derby yesterday. Al-Ahly vs Zamalek is always always massive in Egypt, but yesterday the old foes faced off in the first game of the CAF Champions League group stages.
