Maradona Slams FIFA For Choice Of USA, Mexico, Canada As 2026 World Cup Hosts
June 15, 2018 9:00 am

Argentina football legend Diego Maradona has slammed the choice of USA, Mexico and Canada as hosts for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, decrying the countries’ lack of success and passion for the sport.

FIFA decided on Wednesday that the 2026 event, the first to have 48 teams participating, would be split between the three North American countries, with 60 games in the U.S. and 10 each in Canada and Mexico.

The decision will make Mexico the first country to host three times (hosted in 1970 and 1986) while USA will be hosting for the second time after staging the tournament in 1994.

Maradona suggested Mexico’s record in the World Cup was not good enough as they have been eliminated in the round of 16 in six straight tournaments.

“I don’t like it,” Maradona who led Argentina to World Cup glory in 1986 told Telesur.

“Mexico doesn’t deserve it. The Mexicans come up against Brazil or Germany… and ‘boom,’ they’re out.”

The 57-year-old also took issue with Canada and the U.S., recalling a proposal ahead of the American-hosted 1994 World Cup from then-FIFA president Joao Havelange that would have split games into quarters to allow for more television commercials.

“There’s no passion,” Maradona said. “The Canadians may be good skiers, and the Americans wanted to have four periods of 25 [minutes] for the advertising.”

The joint-bid defeated Morocco 134 to 65 votes to win the hosting right.

Quick facts:


Russia lost 3 (including a loss to Austria) and drew 1 of its last four friendlies, yet they beat Saudi Arabia 5-0. Friendlies don’t mean anything. Our gallant Super Eagles will soar and prevail this Saturday.




Happy Eid to those who celebrate it.

Good morning.

Just like Germany won only one out of their last 4 friendlies. And the only one they won was 2-1 against same Saudi Arabia. They are defending champions o.

Simply go to FIFA TV on YouTube.

Also there are still some channels where you can find WC highlights after each game.

Moses: Super Eagles Determined To Beat Strong, Talented Croatia
June 14, 2018 10:25 pm

Super Eagles forward Victor Moses has urged his Super Eagles’ teammates to remain focused as they begin their Russia2018 World Cup campaign against Croatia on Saturday.

The Chelsea star apologized to fans for their poor performance in the friendly games but vowed to be in their best form against Croatia.

“We’ve come here a long time here at Esentuki, but I think you can see in the training that we were doing very well. Now there is a match with Croatia, a very strong team, but we are gunning for the win,” he told Croatian outlet sportske.jutarnji.hr.

“This game is very important to us because it is very important to start winning and get a good result. We are optimistic, we want to beat Croatia.

“Yet these were just friendly matches, although we were sorry we lost, especially against England. But we look good at this point; we will be good in opening game against Croatia.

“Croatia is a great team with many top players; they are strong individuals and team. They have a particularly strong midfield and attack, the most important thing for us is to be concentrated, then we can beat Croatia.

“The most important thing is not to lose this first game because they are sometimes the most important. Croatia can beat anyone, but Nigeria can beat Croatia. We’ll have to do it like a team.”

Moses chose no country as his favorite to win the World Cup.

“Everything can happen in our group, all teams can advance,” he added.

Arsenal's newest recruit, Lucas Torreira starts from the bench too. But that man called Rodrigo Bentacur starts... He is one to watch in Uruguay's midfield.

Most people tipping us to make it out of the group stage are seeing us coming out 2nd behind Argentina. But the guys seems to be aiming for the very top. If we achieve this then we might just pick the easiest root to the semis. Then Mujtahida's mystic prophecy would be fulfilled.

I see Argentina struggling against Iceland. A win for us in our first two games might be all we need to top that group. It's a wide and open group we've found ourself.

Truly no one can body say they will come out of that group.

Super Eagles camp update


RECALL....

A bit of Mikel Obi's Words ahead of #CRONGA

Recall Mikel's Words:

“We want to be Nigeria,we want to play our way and obviously we want to do that on Saturday. Now is the business time and we have to switch.
“I think we want to start from the blast of the whistle. We want to go in for every tackle and win every balls and dictate and control the game.
“This is how we play. We don’t want to wait for the second half. This is something we have spoken about and we want to improve on it. We can do better from the first half of the game and we hope that we can start well in this tournament.”

The Nigerian team has to beware of thesame inability which bedeviled the Saudis- inability to coordinate attack as a team but only good play from the back and individual brilliance.

The first is the major factor why Europeans and South Americans win the WC.

Nop. Livescores also give predicted lineup before the real lineup is released. When the real lineup is released, you'd see substitutes too.
