Once snubbed for being overweight, Ismael Saibari stars for Morocco vs Brazil | Football News

4 min readJun 14, 2026 08:34 AM IST There is an incident from Ismael Saibari’s career that still rankles him to this day. It involves the time when Belgian club Anderlecht decided to cut him from the youth team as a 14-year-old. The reason: he was overweight. Although his career blew up after that snub, with him playing for clubs like PSV, where he was coached by legendary striker Ruud van Nistlerooy, Saibari still carries the scar of that incident. On Saturday, Saibari became the toast of the town back home in Morocco after scoring the team’s goal against Brazil in their FIFA World Cup opener at the New York New Jersey Stadium. Put through on goal by a perfectly weighted through ball from Brahim Diaz, the ball seemed to speed past Brazil’s two central defenders only to slow down for Saibari to chip it over the keeper Alisson with a split-second decision. The Anderlecht snub does come up frequently when Saibari does interviews. “I got an injury at Anderlecht and was getting less playing …

India have named Shreyas Iyer as the new T20I captain, with Tilak Varma handed the vice-captaincy after Axar Patel was stripped of the role he held during the T20 World Cup. Speaking on his YouTube channel CheekyCheekaTV, Srikkanth was unimpressed. “Tilak Varma hasn’t even captained a side,” he said, taking aim at chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir for the decision. The former chief selector was equally pointed on the Tilak vs Patidar debate, a view he had aired on CheekyCheekaTV earlier this IPL season and one that has only hardened since. “He is not in form, and he doesn’t have the big-hitting capacity. He is not a tearaway batter. He can play shots, but he can’t demolish attacks like a Phil Salt or Rajat Patidar. …

The 25-year-old, who went unsold at the auction for IPL 2026, said that he still aspires to play in the cash-rich league, but due to the unexpected time off from the game, he is now focused on preparing to play his best possible cricket in the longer formats ahead of England’s Test matches this summer, beginning in June against New Zealand. “At the time, I would have definitely liked to have gone, it’s an ambition of mine to strengthen all sides of my game, and I see the IPL as something that can really enhance the white-ball side and does have benefits for the red-ball game,” the Surrey gloveman said on ESPNcricinfo. “But in hindsight, it’s fantastic to have a block of red-ball cricket.

Michael B. Jordan’s Sinners followed with 3 of its own. Robert Aramayo, who led I Swear, was the most welcome surprise, winning the coveted Best Leading Actor award among some of the best contenders.  However, the biggest shock remained Marty Supreme, which was given no trophies even after being in the running for a whopping 11.
