The ongoing debate about the better player between Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina skipper, Lionel Messi may be over based on what Diego Simeone said. According to the retired Argentine defender and Athletico Madrid manager, he thinks the Real Madrid star contributes more to his national team side than the Barcelona talisman. Simeone stated Ronaldo is more capable of lifting his national team than Messi. The Argentine captain was widely criticised following his country’s humiliating 3-0 defeat to Croatia on Thursday , leaving the Albiceleste’s chances of qualifying for the round of 16 in pieces. Goals from Ante Rebic, Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic saw Croatia pick up the victory against a dysfunctional Argentina side to put them top of Group D, while Jorge Sampaoli’s side must now wait for results to go their way if they are to progress. Ronaldo, however, single-handedly earned Portugal a point against Spain with a hat-trick in their opening game before foll

Francis Uzoho has made it known that he avoided all that could have weighed him down before Super Eagles defeated Iceland. According to Daily Post, Francis Uzoho, Super Eagles first-choice keeper assured before the important game that he won’t be under pressure during Nigeria’s match against Iceland. The 19 year-old said he won’t allow the burden of expectations to weigh him down the crucial test in the group D game that Nigeria won by 2-0 against the Scandinavian country. Uzoho, who plays for Deportivo La Coruna of Spain gave the assurance during a press conference prior to the match.

I just try for now not to think about them so it won’t get to me,” Uzoho stated.

Ahmed Musa was the star man for Super Eagles against Iceland yesterday. The Russia FIFA World Cup game was a must win for the Nigerian side. Prior to the game, the green and white boys were so much under intense pressure to perform at the mundial. And this, they lived up to. Team handler, Gernot Rohr started Ahmed Musa against Iceland. The German born manager avoided the mistake he made against Croatia, where the petite winger started from the bench. READ THIS TOO:  https://naijaloveinfo.blogspot.com/2018/06/why-super-eagles-should-avoid-mistake.html?m=0 Ahmed Musa basically netted two goals because of the following two reasons: 1. The Nigerian fleet footed player took his chances at the right time and this paid off for him and the whole team. Musa did not play selfish football at all, unlike some other teammates, who wanted to score, without thinking of the whole team work. 2. The former Kano Pillars of Nigeria club player and Leicester FC of England loanee at CSKA Mosco

The Super Eagles of Nigeria are playing Iceland men National football team today. The Nigerian national team lost her first game against Croatia. Iceland drew it's first match against Argentina by 1-1. Nigeria need score in the first half, as the game might be tough for them in the second half. The advice is that the Super Eagles should opt their game in order to secure a victory against the Scandinavian country.

Lukas Modric and Mario Mandzukic were the major shining stars for the Croatian national football team as they destroyed Lionel Messi and his Argentine teammates tonight. Before the match began, a lot of football pundits gave it to Argentina, however, it was another ball game as the match ended 3-0 in favour of the European country. Messi and his colleagues were taught three lessons in a bitter way by Modric and co. 1. No team can win any game at the World Cup with full team work and cooperation from every member of the team. 2. The FIFA World Cup is absolutely different from club football, where a single player shines, just like Messi does for Barcelona. 3. The cohesion of a team is far more important than the brilliance of a single player.

A female reporter for a German news medium has been a subject of sexual harrassment right infront of camera at the ongoing Russia 2018 World Cup. According to Yahoo News, Julieth Gonzalez Theran, a Colombian, was standing in a city square in Saransk, Russia, late last week reporting on the World Cup for Deutsche Welle, a German news station. However, right as she went live on television for her report, a man came running up into the shot. The man grabbed Gonzalez Theran and her breast, kissed her on the cheek, and quickly took off. Gonzalez Theran, though, didn’t let the attack faze her one bit. She impressively continued right on with her report as if nothing had happened — even while the man was groping her. We do not deserve this treatment,” Gonzalez Theran posted on Instagram with the video of her report shortly after the incident. “We are equally valuable and professionals. I share the joy of football, but we must identify the limits of affection and harassment.” Read

Legendary singer, Elvis Presley's private jet will be auctioned by the last person who purchased it for more than $400,000 online. Presley, a white American is said to be one of the greatest musicians in the history of pop music. One of Presley’s private jets is once again up for auction. The 1962 Lockheed Jetstar, grounded in Roswell, N.M., for over four decades, has not been altered since Presley, who died in 1977, last owned it. The online auction site IronPlanet is accepting bids for the jet, which was owned by the singer and his father, Vernon, until July 27. Featuring an interior custom-designed to Presley’s specifications, the plane has gold-tone hardware, custom woodwork and inlays, red velvet seats, and red shag carpet. The aircraft also features original external painting and detailing. However, it has no engine and its cockpit needs restoring. Its current owner bought it last year for $430,000. It is, a spokesperson for the auctioneers said in an email to Th

Ndidi has made it known that Nigeria’s players are now looking forward to their next game against Iceland on Friday at Volgograd Arena after failing to impress in their opening 2018 World Cup tie. On Friday, June 22 the three-time African champions succumbed 2-0 to Croatia and will have to secure a win against Heimir Hallgrimsson’s men to brighten their chances of avoiding an early exit from the competition. And the Leicester City midfielder said the Super Eagles have put the setback behind them and now focused on a better display on Friday. “Even though we are players, we are also Nigerians.

The Western world can not purge itself of downgrading people of other skin colour as a black woman and her daughter were used as object of racism just because of using a swimming pool. The ugly incident happened in the United States as global anti-racism campaigns continue all over the world. Newsweek learnt that a black lady said she and her daughter experienced “blatant racism” when a white man posing as a health inspector asked them if they had showered before using a pool at a hotel in Pasadena, California, during their vacation. The incident occurred on Monday at The Westin hotel. Carle Wheeler posted a video of the incident on Facebook on Wednesday, claiming she and her daughter were at the pool when they were approached by a white man. The man claimed to be a health inspector who asked them if they had showered before entering the swimming pool. “The man asked if me and my little girl had showered before getting into the pool because people carry diseases into the pools

In what appears to be unbelievable has become a reality as a 33-year-old school counsellor was reportedly caught having sexual relationship with a teenager. A Texas middle school counsellor turned herself in to police after a student's mother allegedly caught her in bed with her teenage son, according to authorities. Yahoo News reports that Shannon Hathaway, who was employed at Harwood Junior High School, was booked on charges for an improper relationship between an educator and a student, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. Bedford Police Department issued a warrant for the 33-year-old school counsellor based on her alleged relationship with a ninth-grade student. Authorities said the pair was sexually involved until the 17-year-old student's mother walked in on them naked in bed. Police contacted school officials in May about the allegations and the counsellor was. See photo of the female counsellor below:

A few days ago prior to commencement of the 2018 FIFA World Cup currently being played in Russia, a controversial Russian lawmaker warned her country fellows never to engage in sexual activities with nonwhite race. A Russian legislator gured adding a little more on top on the eve of the action wouldn’t hurt. Russian lawmaker says no to sex with World cup visitors Tamara Pletnyova, head of the lower house of parliament’s Family, Women and Children Committee, warned Russians against having sex with foreign visitors during a radio appearance on Wednesday. More specifically, she warned Russian woman against getting pregnant by visitors, hearkening back to the 1980 Moscow Olympics. “There will be girls who meet men, and then they will give birth,” Pletnyova said via translation. “Maybe they will get married, maybe they won’t. But the kids will suffer, just like they suffered [after the Moscow Olympics].” “It’s the children who suffer and have suffered since the Soviet era.” If y

President Donald Trump is not of a bully all the time as the American president made some unbelievable concessions to North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un when both men a few weeks ago. At the press conference in Singapore following his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, President Trump surprised America’s Asian allies, and reportedly his own Pentagon, by surrendering a major bargaining chip in the form of U.S.-South Korea military exercises. “We will be stopping the war games, which will save us a tremendous amount of money, unless and until we see that the future negotiation is not going as it should,” Trump told reporters, referring to the annual exercises as “provocative.” “At some point, I have to be honest — I used to say this during my campaign … I want to get our soldiers [in South Korea] out. I want to bring our soldiers back home.” As was the case when Trump fulfilled other controversial campaign pledges in the foreign policy arena — including scuttling the Trans

President Donald Trump of the United States is a man known to draw controversy and criticism from different quarters, especially with his historic meeting with North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un. According to reports, Trump has been lampooned for his excessive encomiums on Kim Jong-un. The US president met the North Korean leader in a historic summit in Singapore on Tuesday, and didn’t hold back when complimenting his counterpart. The two men met to discuss the potential denuclearisation of North Korea and both signed a document to ratify their agreement. After the signing, Mr Trump and Mr Kim appeared on the steps of the Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island holding up the documents. Mr Trump said: “We had a terrific day and we learned a lot about each other and our countries.” When asked what he learned about Mr Kim, the US president said: “I learned he’s a very talented man and I also learned he loves his country very much.” He added: “We’ll meet many times.” Mr Trump’s

As the Super Eagles of Nigeria square it out with the Croatian national team in their Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup, there are certain things the Green and White must avoid. Argentina could not go past Iceland, despite the presence of Leo Messi. Therefore Gernot Rohr must tell his boys what to do to get a win tonight. The two things to avoid: 1. There should be no blame game on the part of any player. Everyone should play for each other and play with same purpose. 2. The coaching crew should not leave the team alone without passing instructions to them on the field of play.

Lionel Messi is one of the top 10 greatest football players in modern history of the round leather game. The petite Argentine will try to show why he is a football wizard against Iceland in their opening game for Group D a few minutes from now. On Friday, June 15, Messi's nightmare, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick against Spain in Portugal's opener against Hiero's led team. The result which ended in a 3-3 draw for both Spain and Portugal. Messi is known to outwit Cristiano sometimes, and vice versa, the Barcelona new captain will want to show he is always a pain in the flesh of his opponents. The Argentine could for the back of the net for these three reasons today against the Scandinavian country: 1. Since Cristiano scored a hat trick yesterday, Messi will be motivated to try to score in his country's World Cup opening match. 2. Messi will be inspired by the captainship band and his role as the leader of the Argentine national team. 3. The five time W

The revelation coming from the American Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is frightening regarding some alleged Yahoo Boys apprehension. The FBI, yesterday made it known about the arrest of Nigerian internet fraudsters, aka, Yahoo boys in a global operation. The FBI said 42 suspects were nabbed in the U.S, 29 in Nigeria, and three others in Canada, Mauritius, and Poland. Some of those arrested were working as part of a larger network of criminal organisations, while others acted alone, FBI said. The operation was announced in a statement endorsed by US Attorney General, Jeff Sessions for the Department of Justice and FBI Director, Christopher A. Wray. It reads in part: “Operation Wire Wire, a coordinated law enforcement effort by the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, was conducted over a six month period, culminating in over two weeks of intensified law enforcement act

Former Super Eagles player, Kanu Nwankwo was in all smiles as he took some photoshots with some past FIFA World Cup winners and player in Russia. According to naijaloaded.com, the ex national team player has joined FIFA legends star in Russia.He shared the photos and wrote:- ‘WORLD CUP FEVER.

Russia will kick start the 2018 FIFA World Cup in a few hours time. It is no longer a news that the eastern European country is hosting the once in a four year mundial. The host nation will begin its quest to go far in the tournament with an opener against Asian powerhouse, Saudi Arabia. There are some concerns in the air as per Russia's hunger for a World Cup glory. This is based on the fact that the host country lost almost all its pre-tournament friendly matches. Argentina, although had a slim 1-0 victory over Russia, the host nation is yet to convince football pundits that it can vie for the trophy. The experience of South Africa, a host of the 2010 FIFA World Cup is still fresh in the minds of many football lovers. The African nation crashed out in the group stage of the event. France is the last host to win the global competition. Will Russia repeat the same feat? The answer is glaringly more of a 'No!' Russia does not have depth in its squad. Apart from goalk

The FIFA World Cup is less than 24 hours to commence in Russia, and the Nigerian Super Eagles are of one of the 32 teams vying to win the coveted Gold Trophy. Football pundits should know that the Super Eagles are no pushovers. Below are three reasons Nigeria will go far in the tournament. 1. Unpredictability of the Super Eagles: There are fewer football teams in the world who play in a way like the Nigerian national football team.  The whole players appear as if they are timid, but the case is different when the real action begins. 2. Young blood: This is first Nigeria will be going to a FIFA World Cup competition with a crop of energetic boys. Apart from team captain and assistant, that is Mikel John Obi and Ogenyi Onazi, all other players are well below 30 years of age. 3. Poor results from friendly matches: Football critics or any other team like Argentina should not use Nigeria's last three pre-Russia World Cup matches loss to Serbia, England and Czech a

Chelsea gifted winger and Belgium national team captain, Eden Hazard is presently worried about the fate of his teammates and himself. The talented is concerned the Belgium team does not become another wasted England golden generation team. According to an online publication, the Belgian hopes his country does not suffer the same fate as England and waste the potential of their own ‘Golden Generation’. Belgium head to the World Cup third in the latest FIFA rankings, with a squad that boasts the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois, Romelu Lukaku and Jan Vertonghen in addition to Hazard. The Three Lions face Belgium in their final Group G game in Kaliningrad on June 28 and Hazard is hoping the Red Devils go on to claim silverware – unlike England teams of the past. “We know what we are. We are good players, we all play in the big games in England, in Italy and in Spain,” he said. “10 years or 15 years ago, you had this ‘Golden Generation’ in England but you won nothin

One time Super Eagles technical adviser, Sunday Oliseh will become almost N11million naira richer, based on the fact that Nigeria will be playing at Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup event. The former national team captain left his job under cloudy circumstances. Oliseh was coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria from June 2015 to February 2016 when he resigned abruptly after falling out with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). Before his resignation, Oliseh led the Super Eagles to two games of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, the two-legged second preliminary matches against Swaziland. For those two games, the former Super Eagles midfielder will receive N10.8m ($30,000). The money is part of the $8m the NFF are getting from FIFA for Nigeria’s qualification of the World Cup. FIFA stipulate that all the player and coaches who took part in the World Cup qualifying matches will be paid. Nigeria beat Swaziland in World Cup qualifiers Under Oliseh in November 2015, the Super Ea

Anthony Bourdain is being eulogised by different people all over the world after his death, which shows he was a positive influential while alive. The white skinned figure dined and wined with the mighty in the society like former United States president, Barack Obama. The culinary world shifted when news that rock-star chef and author Anthony Bourdain died of an apparent suicide was confirmed by CNN on Friday. Bourdain defied the boundaries of his job description, transcending barriers of disparate cultures and, perhaps among his greatest feats, challenged the status quo he could have so easily chosen to thrive in. And aside from what he contributed to the world (taking us on adventures around the globe and giving us all a front-row seat to experience the gritty underbelly of New York City's restaurant industry through his cult-classic book Kitchen Confidential), that's why we loved him. In recognizing his privilege, Bourdain was able to stand up for women, marginaliz

The aftermath of the bitter loss by English side, Liverpool to Spanish giant, Real Madrid is still much in the air as Liverpool and Brazilian striker, Roberto Firmino has labelled comments made by Real Madrid and Spain national team captain, Sergio Ramos as 'idiotic.' Firmino has reacted to Ramos's response to criticism of his actions in the Champions League final. The Real Madrid captain proved a controversial figure as Los Blancos ran out 3-1 winners over the Reds in Kiev. Ramos's challenge on Mohamed Salah saw the Egypt attacker fall and injure his shoulder, while a collision with Loris Karius was reported to have led to the goalkeeper suffering concussion. The Spain international appeared exasperated at being labelled the villain and, after suggesting that the incidents were blown out of proportion, added: "The only thing that is missing if for Firmino to say he has a cold because some of my sweat dripped in him." Firmino struck back on Wednesda

National team captain John Mikel Obi has given his own thought to the lost the Super Eagles suffered to the Czech national team in a FIFA pre-Russia World Cup friendly game. The former Chelsea player stated that jet lag affected the team. The Super Eagles were defeated by the Czech football team on Wednesday, June 5, in Austria in their final friendly ahead of the World Cup. Defender Tomas Kalas, fresh from helping Fulham win promotion to the English Premier League, scored the only goal of the game in the first half in Schwechat, just outside Vienna. Gernot Rohr's Super Eagles had already lost 2-1 to England at Wembley last weekend, while the Czechs -- who failed to qualify for the World Cup -- had lost 4-0 to Australia in their previous friendly outing. Nigeria will face Argentina, Croatia and Iceland in a testing Group D in Russia, with their World Cup opener against Croatia in Kaliningrad on Saturday, June 16. After the loss, Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi blamed th

Anthony Wright fits properly into the tag, 'Never Say Die' following his freedom from the gallows after imprisoned for 25 years as well as to be paid $13million. Wright was alleged to have been involved in the twin crimes of rape and murder. According to tori.ng, the never say die fellow was put behind bars for 25 years for a rape and murder he didn’t commit. Wright was sentenced to life in prison in the US for the 1991 slaying of his neighbour, Louise Talley, 77, who was raped and repeatedly stabbed. The conviction was reversed in 2014 after DNA evidence pointed to a former crack addict who died in a South Carolina prison. Wright filed a federal lawsuit accusing police of writing a false confession and coercing him to sign it without reading it, and planting other evidence used to convict him. The city of Philadelphia said on Wednesday the settlement doesn't include an admission of liability. Mayor Jim Kenney called the agreement a fair resolution of a case

President Muhammadu Buhari has shown that he is a true democrat and a believer in the rule of law by recognising Chief MKO Abiola by making June 12, the actual Democracy Day for Nigerians. Will President Buhari win the hearts of the electorates with this gesture in 2019? According to Premium Times, the president made it known that effective 2019, Nigeria’s Democracy Day, celebrated every May 29 for the past 18 years, be moved to June 12, to honour Moshood Abiola, the winner of the 1993 presidential election. Election data showed Mr Abiola won the polls but he was never formally declared winner and was not sworn into office by the military government of Ibrahim Babangida. Mr Abiola was later imprisoned by the Sani Abacha’s military regime as he struggled to actualise his mandate. He died in prison in 1998. Successive governments have brushed aside calls for Mr Abiola to be honoured and for the federal government to recognise June 12 as democracy day. The Buhari government s

Former Barcelona legend, Xavi has added his voice to the way Champions League defending champions, Real Madrid beat Liverpool in this year's final in Ukraine. Xavi stated that it was more than ordinary. Real Madrid, won the Europe elite cup competition by beating Liverpool on Saturday, May 26, following an injury to Mohamed Salah. Some goals were scored. Some mistakes were made. There was an injury. And then a trophy was lifted. That, apparently, was that. But now Barcelona great Xavi has claimed there is something freakishly paranormal in which fortunes have favoured their bitter Spanish rivals on their way to a 13 European Cup triumph. In a private, leaked conversation with El Penalti in Barcelona, the World Cup-winning midfielder was unimpressed with his former club while pointing to some strange coincidences for Real Madrid. “Real have a winning DNA and Barcelona have fallen asleep,” said Xavi. “They've been asleep for years when it comes to signings, and

Current World player of the year, Cristiano Ronaldo is feeling unsettled after perceiving that Real Madrid may sign Brazil's star player, Neymar. There are possibilities that Ronaldo may not be part of the Champions League holders after the FIFA World Cup in Russia this June. The Portuguese is "disillusioned" with his clubs attempts to sign Neymar, according to reports. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner and Bernabeu legend appears to fear that he is being phased out in the Spanish capital. Cristiano Ronaldo has linked up with the Portugal squad ahead of the World Cup Neymar on his part scored on his return to Brazil at Anfield as they beat Croatia 2-0 in a friendly. And according to AS, the 33-year-old views Los Blancos' bid to renew their squad with "suspicion and disbelief." Ronaldo had a quiet final this year in Kiev, as Gareth Bale stole the show, scoring two including an incredible bicycle kick that will go down in football folklore.

The drama behind the deadly Offa bank robbery attack and killings has begun to unfold gradually. Recall that there were allegations that linked the current president of the Senate, Bukola Saraki to the attack that led to the death of over 30 people including several police officers. The ring leader of the bloody bank robbery in Offa, Kwara State, on April 5, Ayoade Akinnibosun, has confessed that a top aide of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed gave him two AK-47 rifles two days to the ward congress of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. He said the weapons were handed over to him to neutralise political thugs allegedly brought in by a minister. He, however, said he and his boys were able to handle the minister’s loyalists without the use of guns. He also said he later handed over the guns to the governor’s aide at the end of the exercise. Apart from the guns, he told Daily Sun exclusively that the aide gave him a Lexus SUV, which he used for the robbery but had to drop i
