8 d. ago ‘Getting worse and worse’: former Afghanistan captain’s anger at state of football in his country

Against a backdrop of brutal Taliban rule and corruption claims, Zohib Islam Amiri sees demoralisation setting inWhen Zohib Islam Amiri came back to play in Afghanistan in January for the first time since 2010, he was hoping to make a difference. “I wanted to try to give some of the young Afghan kids some inspiration,” he says. “But as soon as I got there it was clear that things were even worse.”Amiri, who made his international debut as a 15-year-old in 2005 before serving as captain for more than a decade, became the first Afghanistan player to move overseas when he joined Mumbai in 2011. The defender’s return to play for Abu Muslim in the Afghanistan Champions League – a competition set up in 2021 when the Taliban regained power – was never intended to be the end of his career. But having seen his side crowned champions after a controversial 8-0 victory amid allegations of match-fixing, Amiri decided enough was enough. Continue reading...

1 week ago Sound familiar? The supposedly too old Warriors are setting up a title challenge

Many believed Steph Curry’s Golden State were past it in 2022 before they won the championship. This time around, Jimmy Butler has given them new lifeIt felt like the end, again.The Golden State Warriors missed the playoffs in 2020 and 2021, but they stormed back from the abyss in 2022 to beat the Boston Celtics in the NBA finals. Steph Curry was 33 for most of that season. Draymond Green and Klay Thompson were 31. The Warriors’ return to the pinnacle of basketball had the whiff of a last hurrah, and indeed, their championship core faded for a second time after that: a second-round exit in 2023, a play-in tournament flatlining in 2024. Curry and his four-time championship-winning teammates continued to get older in the way athletes do. Continue reading...

2 w. ago Back to the feudal: Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the most beautiful game I’ve ever seen

This thrilling trip through Japan is the best the series has given us in yearsI have played many Assassin’s Creed games over the years, but I’ve rarely loved them. Ubisoft’s historical fiction is perennially almost-great. A lot of players would say it reached its peak in the late 2000s, with the trio of renaissance Italy games beginning with Assassin’s Creed 2, and their charismatic hero, Ezio Auditore. Since then, the series has become bloated, offering hundreds of hours of repetitive open-world exploration and assassination in ancient Greece, Egypt and even Viking Britain. Odyssey (the Greek one) was the last I played seriously; I found the setting exquisite, the gameplay somewhat irritating and the scale completely overwhelming.The Assassin’s Creed games are extraordinary works of historical fiction, fastidiously recreating lost periods of history and letting you walk around in them. They’re the closest thing to time travel. I play them for the virtual tourism, and find myself va...

(Black Acre)Pianist and producer Alfa Mist’s latest project, with drummer Richard Spaven, showcases two musicians at the top of their gameIn the London jazz scene of the past decade, pianist and producer Alfa Mist has carved out a niche of melodically intricate improvisations that play through hip-hop swing and soulful harmony. It’s a fusion best expressed across his five albums since 2015’s debut EP Nocturne, while his collaborations with other artists delve into related influences, such as lo-fi UK rap on 2016’s 2nd Exit with MC Lester Duval, and downtempo R&B on 2020’s Epoch with singer Emmavie.Mist’s latest project, 44th Move, is a duo with drummer Richard Spaven that explores rhythm. Harnessing Spaven’s astounding capacity to play time-shifting yet metronomically perfect grooves, the duo’s debut album, Anthem, is a mighty showcase of beats and keys. Tracks such as the title number and 2nd September channel the classic Mist sound, featuring reverb-laden Rhodes chords and a l...
