The Liberia Football Association (LFA) has postponed this week's three-nation tournament in Monrovia that includes Ghana.

The local Black Stars were scheduled to play Guinea and the host nation from 24-26 May.

However, the LFA wrote to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Tuesday afternoon informing the GFA of the decision by the country’s government to postpone the tournament to next month.

"This tournament is governmental and that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has informed us of the change for which we have decided to have same communicated to you at this time,” the letter from the LFA read.

Democratic Republic of Congo and West Bromwich midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu played party pooper at the weeked in an amazing 5-5 English Premier League draw with Manchester United.

Mulumbu scored with nine minutes left and the Baggies equalised soon after at the Hawthorns to deprive Alex Ferguson of a victory in his final match as boss of the Red Devils.

Senegalese Demba Ba set up the opening goal as Chelsea won 2-1 at Stamford Bridge against Everton, whose goal was created by Nigerian Victor Anichebe.

Ivory Coast striker Arouna Kone was among the stars as Wigan stunned Manchester City 1-0 at the weekend to lift the FA Cup trophy for the first time.

The African star with the blond dyed hair troubled City throughout with his running and now turns his attention to keeping the cup winners in the Premier League.

Unfashionable Wigan visit Arsenal on Tuesday and host Aston Villa on Sunday, needing to win both ganes to be sure of avoiding relegation.

Ghana's home-based national team will play in a three-nation tournament in Liberia this month. 

The local Black Stars will compete with the host nation and West African neighbours Guinea from 24-26 May.

The technical team has called up 25 players from the Ghana Premier League to begin camping on Monday, 13 May in Obuasi.

Goalkeepers Fatau Dauda (AshantiGold) and Daniel Agyei (Liberty Professionals) who are members of the senior national team were left out.

But the league's leading scorer Mahatma Otoo, who earned a debut Ghana call-up in March for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Sudan at home, was included in the squad.

Lille threw away a massive three-goal advantage to draw 3:3 against visitors Sochaux in the French Ligue 1 on Friday night.

Cote d'Ivoire striker Salomon Kalou netted twice in the opening half to give Lille a 2:0 lead at the break and Montenegro defender Marko Basa made it 3:0 in the 48th minute.

A late rally however saw Sochaux score three goals in eight minutes to snatch a point.

Veteran Mali defender Cedric Kante started the fight-back with a goal on 79 minutes before French midfielder Vincent Nogueira bagged two quick goals in the 83rd and 87th minutes to ensure the draw.

Papiss Demba Cisse was the toast of Newcastle at the weekend after scoring the late English Premier League goal that secured a 1-0 victory over Fulham and eased relegation worries.

The Senegalese goal poacher has made a habit of snatching last-gasp goals lately, including one against Anzhi Makhachkala of Russia that lifted the Magpies into the last eight of the Europa League.

Togolese Emmanuel Adebayor was another African scorer in the Premier League, putting Tottenham Hotspur ahead just 34 seconds into a thriller against visiting Everton that ended in a 2-2 draw.

Several of the favourites in Africa’s qualifiers for the 2014 Fifa World Cup Brazil struggled on the third matchday of the group stage, now at the half-way point.

Morocco's loss in Tanzania was the biggest surprise, while 2012 African champions Zambia were held to a draw in Lesotho and Senegal and new African kings Nigeria were held at home. As only the ten group winners advance to the final round of qualifying, the dropped points will undoubtedly increase the pressure and the chances of a major shock moving forward.

The Super Eagles were expected to enjoy a bit of a walk in the park at home against their East African opponents, however, it turned out to be anything but as 20-year-old Kahata gave the visitors the lead when he scored direct from a free-kick.

Twin brothers Florentin and Mathias Pogba have been included in Guinea's squad for the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Mozambique on 24 March.

Defender Florentin plays at French Ligue 2 club Sedan while striker Mathias plays for Crewe Alexandra in England's League One.

The 22-year-olds played in last month's friendly against Senegal in Paris where Mathias made his international debut.

On Thursday, their brother Paul was called up by France for the first time.

The Juventus midfielder has been picked by manager Didier Deschamps for upcoming matches against Georgia and Spain.

One day after his 35th birthday Didier Drogba showed there was life in him still when he played all 90 minutes for Turkish giants Galatasaray as they beat German hosts Schalke 3:2 to advance to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

In typical fashion, when the occasion is big, Drogba rises to the fore and once again his imprint was on this win that sent Gala through 4:2 on aggregate.

The Ivorian legend, whose last kick of the same tournament last season delivered the title to London club Chelsea for the first time ever, started the game in his usual bullish form.

Pierre Aubameyang was on target for the 18th time in Ligue 1 - and remains the second top scorer in the league - after equalising in the 65th minute for Saint Etienne. Thanks to the Gabon striker's effort his side drew 2-2 away at Rennes.

Benjamin Moukandjo fired home his third for struggling Nancy who lost 2-1 at league leaders Paris Saint-Germain. The Cameroon striker had given the visitors the lead in the 36th minute but Nancy succumbed to two goals in the second-half.

Cape Verde striker Odair Fortes gave Reims some hope of getting an equaliser with his 77th minute goal, but an 88th minute substitution paid off for Troyes who sealed the points in added time. It was the Guinea striker Mohamed Yattara's second goal for Troyes.
