Former Zamalek Player Breaks Silence After Controversial Incidents in EPL Opener
Former Zamalek star Khaled El Ghandour's launched strong attack on sections of the club's supporters after incidents during the 2 - 0 win over Ceramica Cleopatra in the EPL opener.
The match played at the Suez Canal Authority Stadium, saw Zamalek fans verbally abuse former club winger and current Al Ahly player Ahmed Sayed Zizo directing insults at both him & his wife.
On Facebook , El Ghandour wrote:
"It's absolutely unacceptable to insult player, his family or his respected wife even if you believe he betrayed you and joined your rival"
He drew parallel to the abuse suffered in the past by Mahmoud Abdel Razek Shikabala stressing that such behavior should be condemned in all cases:
"Just as we refused racism and insults against Shikabala and his family, we shouldn't accept it for zizo. Focus on your team only"
El Ghandour urged supporters of all clubs to maintain sportsmanship:
"If you care about morals and manners, you must apply them to all fans and all players. This's the start of the season, there're many matches to come. Remember .. morals are indivisible"

Keys for the Buccaneers' offense against the Bills defense
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wrap up their 2025 preseason this Saturday against the Buffalo Bills, and while most starters, including quarterback Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans, are expected to rest, there's still plenty at Tampa Bay's offense, this game is about more than execution; it's about evaluation. Here are three key offensive goals the Bucs must hit to close out the preseason on a high note: Let Teddy Take Control Veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater looked sharp last week in limited action, tossing two touchdowns and moving the ball efficiently in the first quarter. With Mayfield sitting, Bridgewater will likely get a few drives again, giving him a final tune-up and a chance to build chemistry with the second-team offense and an opportunity to make an impression for QB2. Sort Out the WR Depth Battle The competition behind Evans, Godwin Jr, and Egbuka is heating up. Sterling Shepard has had a solid camp, while Ryan Miller and Tez Johnson are all fighting for snaps. This game could be make-or-break for who earns a spot on the final 53 or sticks on the practice squad. A standout performance, whether it's yards after the catch or special teams impact, could tip the scales. Clean Execution from the Offensive Line The backup offensive line struggled with penalties and protection lapses early in the preseason. Saturday is a final chance for players like Luke Haggard, Benjamin Chukwuma, and Elijah Klein to prove they can hold up in live reps. Protecting Bridgewater or Trask and opening running lanes for depth backs like Sean Tucker, Owen Wright, and Josh Williams will be essential for keeping the offense on schedule.

Baltimore Ravens' Harbaugh says there's no damage to Lamar Jackson's foot after it was stepped on
Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh says star quarterback Lamar Jackson is "fine" after his foot was stepped on this week. That's the same thing the Ravens told reporters Wednesday, but after Jackson wasn't at practice Thursday, Harbaugh was understandably asked for an update. "Got his foot stepped on, like we said yesterday," Harbaugh said. "They did a quick X-ray, and there's no damage or anything like that. I'm sure it's a little sore today, so we just kept him in, but he's fine. He's going to be good." The Ravens play at Washington on Saturday, but Jackson hasn't appeared in a preseason game since 2021, and there is no sign that would change this year. Baltimore opens the regular season at Buffalo on Sept. 7. Lamar Jackson is a two-time NFL MVP -- winning the award in 2019 and 2023. However, he may have had his best season in 2024. Last season, he passed for 4,172 yards with 41 touchdowns and four interceptions. He also rushed for 915 yards. The Ravens open the season on Sept. 7 against the Buffalo Bills.
