Ole, Ole, Ole!

A football fan from Senegal

cheered before Algeria and

Senegal faced off in the 2019

Africa Cup of Nations at the Cairo

International Stadium on July

19. Ultimately, Algeria’s “Desert
    Warriors” would defeat Senegal’s
    “Lions of Teranga” with a 1–
    victory, with the game’s only goal
    scored a mere two minutes into
    play. Algeria last won the trophy in
    1990 and Senegal has yet to win.

Too Hot to Handle

Two years after wildɿres ravaged

central Portugal killing more than

60 people and injuring dozens, the

ʀames returned. This time some

1, 00 ɿreɿghters and 00 vehicles

were sent out to battle three blazes

that raged across the heavily-wooded

Castelo Branco region, over 100 miles

north of Lisbon. As a ɿreɿghter looked

at a wildɿre at Amendoa in Macao

on July 21, much of Europe was still

sweltering through a heatwave.

Taking the Plunge

For nearly seven decades,

ambitious divers have launched

themselves into rivers near Gjakova

in Kosovo in an annual open-

air high diving competition. In

years past more than two dozen

competitors have competed for

the 500 euro ($556) prize money.

On July 22 hundreds of spectators

watched on as divers leaped off

Ura e Shenjte, a 72-foot high

bridge, and into the water below.
