Host Laragh Widdess tells this week’s sports stories of disaster and intrigue from Israel and around the world.

In Israel: The soccer world reels after a turbulent transfer window; Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball continue their unbeaten run; and did a Tunisian tennis player fake an injury to avoid playing Israel’s Dudi Sela?

Further afield: Compare your salary with top footballers such as Cristiano Ronaldo; Real Madrid’s shock loss blows the Spanish league wide open; crime and punishment at the Africa Cup of Nations; Egyptian soccer suffers tragedy again; and Blatt-watch this week is a Love story.
