Sports / Re: ‘look, Man, You Can Share Our Beer, But We No Go Gree For Anybody That Wants To by alikos: 6:00am On Feb 01
Football, the beautiful game, finds its most exuberant expression in the illustrious Premier League.

In 1992, the Premier League emerged, breaking away from the Football League, with a vision to enhance the sport's competitiveness and global appeal. Since then, it has evolved into a footballing behemoth, attracting top talent and a colossal fan base worldwide.

What sets the Premier League apart is its global reach. With matches broadcasted to millions of households across the world, it has become a cultural phenomenon, shaping the way people perceive and consume football.

The league's structure is a captivating blend of drama and competition. The Premier League boasts a round-robin format, where each of the 20 teams plays 38 matches in a season. The battle for the coveted title often goes down to the wire, creating a riveting spectacle for fans.

Unlike some other football leagues, the Premier League employs a promotion and relegation system. The bottom three teams at the end of the season face relegation to the EFL Championship, while the top two teams from the Championship, along with the winner of the playoffs, earn promotion.

Financial prowess is a critical aspect of the Premier League. The influx of lucrative television deals and sponsorships has turned clubs into financial powerhouses, enabling them to attract top-tier talent from around the globe.

Few can discuss the Premier League without mentioning the indelible legacy of Manchester United. Under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson, the club dominated English football, clinching numerous titles and creating a dynasty that resonates to this day.

The 2003-04 season saw Arsenal etch their name in history as the "Invincibles." Under the guidance of Arsène Wenger, they went unbeaten throughout the entire league campaign, a feat yet to be replicated.

In recent years, Liverpool has rekindled its glory days. With a charismatic manager in Jurgen Klopp and a formidable squad, they've not only conquered the domestic scene but also clinched the prestigious UEFA Champions League.

The Premier League has witnessed the rise and fall of clubs, but certain names stand tall in its history. Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal have consistently been the torchbearers of success.

From Leicester City's fairy-tale title win in 2015-16 to the "Aguerooooo" moment in 2011-12, the Premier League has been a theatre of dreams, providing fans with moments that are etched in football folklore.

The league has been graced by legendary strikers - Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer, and Sergio Aguero, to name a few. Their goal-scoring exploits have left an indelible mark on the league's history.

The likes of Paul Scholes, Steven Gerrard, and Frank Lampard have mesmerized fans with their midfield prowess. Their vision, passing, and ability to dictate the tempo of the game are part of the Premier League folklore.

Defensive stalwarts such as Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, and Nemanja Vidic have been the backbone of successful Premier League campaigns. Their resilience and leadership at the back have been instrumental in clinching titles.

The Premier League has transcended geographical boundaries, with matches broadcasted in over 200 countries. This widespread exposure has not only elevated the league's popularity but has also created a diverse and engaged global fanbase.

The success of Premier League clubs has a ripple effect on their cities. From increased tourism to a boost in local businesses, the economic impact is substantial, making football more than just a sport.

The Premier League has witnessed a plethora of iconic goals. From David Beckham's halfway line strike to Wayne Rooney's bicycle kick, these moments have become immortalized in football history.

The league's competitive nature often leads to nail-biting title deciders. The drama of the final matchday has, on multiple occasions, decided the fate of the title, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.

Controversy is no stranger to the Premier League. VAR decisions, contentious red cards, and disputed penalties add a layer of drama that keeps fans talking long after the final whistle.

Tactical innovation has been a hallmark of the Premier League. The influence of foreign managers has brought diverse playing styles, from possession-based football to high-pressing strategies.

The heartbeat of the Premier League lies in its passionate fanbase. From the roaring Kop at Anfield to the chants at Old Trafford, the atmosphere in the stadiums is electric, creating an experience like no other.

Navigating financial fair play regulations and the ongoing debate over VAR implementation are among the challenges that the Premier League continually faces. Balancing competitiveness with financial sustainability remains a delicate task.

Premier League clubs have become global brands, with fan clubs spanning continents. Pre-season tours and international partnerships have further expanded the reach of English football beyond its shores.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges. Empty stadiums, financial strain on clubs, and adjustments to playing schedules have tested the resilience of the Premier League.

Sustainability initiatives and potential league expansion are on the horizon for the Premier League. Striking a balance between growth and preserving the essence of the sport will be pivotal.

The rise of fantasy football and the intertwining culture of betting have added a new dimension to fan engagement. Choosing your dream team and predicting match outcomes have become integral aspects of the Premier League experience.

As the curtain falls on this exploration of the Premier League, its significance transcends the boundaries of sport. It is a cultural phenomenon, a global spectacle that unites fans from different corners of the world. From historic triumphs to the challenges of the modern era, the Premier League remains a captivating saga that continues to evolve, leaving an indelible mark on the beautiful game.

Anarachieze:
Every Nigerian worth his or her patriotism stayed up till the wee hours of Sunday, January 28, 2024. The Super Eagles, our darling male national football team, was pitted against no less a footballing rival than the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.

Games in the group stages, lacklustre and nearly “unNigerian” did not leave many with strong enough hopes for a victory, but the burst of national pride has a way of mustering everyone to the many war fronts in bars and living rooms where all sorts of generals bravely dish out war strategies, and when the enemy is an unrepentant old rival like Cameroon, a neighbour whose scars we still bear in the most obvious parts of our national ego, differences are set aside as all weapons that are “fashionable” against such a foe must be made to prosper.

With my friend, Peter, we took our vantage position at the touchline in a bar in my Lagos hood. I like Peter a lot; a very good-natured person, a patriotic Nigerian – almost a zealot, but my only problem with him is his criminally avid support for Manchester United. That annoys me a lot, but when the matter is about Nigeria and football, I forgive him his sins and we sit like good friends to drink our beer.


With bottles of chilled Life lager beer struggling to survive our relentless bangs on the table as we dished instructions to both Jose Peseiro the coach, and the players on the pitch, we endured what looked like a miserable first 20 minutes of what eventually turned out to be a beautiful evening of footballing triumph for Nigeria.

Our boys started quite badly, struggling to string their passes together. Haunted by the below-average performances during the group stages, we judged the players rather too quickly, and even when the sign came that the evening was going to end good with the disallowed goal early in the first half, we wanted more from the boys and we wanted it early.

We were on the edge of our seats for most parts of the early exchanges, dousing the tension with sips from the glasses before us. We were not alone; everybody was on edge, pouring their frustrations and soothing their anxiety into the bottles of goodness before them. As if the barman knew, he provided most of us with giant glasses of branded Life beer that took almost all the contents of our bottles.

Life is really good, but it is much better when you watch football with passionate fans. We almost broke bottles on the head of the referee when he ruled what we thought, and wished was our first goal for offside. We were on our feet in righteous rage, coursing through the bar in search of the man we felt was out to be our nemesis for the night, cursing and remonstrating.

Ninety percent of us knew that, based on a new FIFA rule, the Nigerian player was offside and that the VAR, unlike it frequently happened during English Premier League matches, was spot-on!

Yes, the goal was disallowed, but we became more hopeful, and consequently more relaxed. With further help from the caged Lions of Cameroon who were goal-area-shy and had no shot on target throughout the first 45 minutes, we thus sipped in relative peace, reducing the risk we posed to the lives of the Life beer glasses and bottles on our tables.

It was after we were this more relaxed that we began to enjoy the game. We noticed the strengths of our players; the relentless pressure Alex Iwobi posed to nearly all Cameroonian players on the field; the defensive brick wall constructed and coordinated by Captain-Fantastic, William Troost-Ekong; the fearless dribbles of Moses Simon, and the combined military-like raids of Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimen on the Cameroonian defence.

Osimen, for his energy and dogged fights, won the Man-of-the-Match for many of us! It became clear to us why he is the reigning African footballer of the year! The guy is a German, sorry a Nigerian machine, and deserves a place in Life’s Hall of Fame!

He got us the first goal: He survived desperate and intentional efforts to snuff out the attack he initiated, leaving his two assailants scattered on the floor in his trail, and like Amalinze the cat in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, he resisted all efforts to make him fall, managing to nudge a pass to Lookman in the process.

With a sexy kick that passed under the flailing arm of the listless Cameroonian goalkeeper, the ball was destined to end nowhere else but the net. But still determined to delay our collective national joy, a Cameroonian player sped to the ball, but ended up helping it in its journey to shake the net and rouse our joy!

Thankfully, the ball had already crossed the line for an Ademola Lookman goal before the Cameroonian’s desperate intervention, and even as the bar erupted in an ecstatic mixture of screams, hugs, and thunderous pumping of fists, Peter, my friend shouted over the din at the Cameroonian player, whom he accused of attempting to convert Ademola Lookman’s goal into an own-goal;

“Look, this man, you can come to share our beer with us, but what we wouldn’t take is you trying to share our goal!” Peter was at his humorous best, and with this goal, and a vastly improved Super Eagles team, he threatened it was going to be an interesting evening.

An interesting evening it was, and as the second half resumed, it was easy to conclude that a Cameroonian come-back was quite slim and that the Indomitable Lions were only escorting the Eagles to their quarter-final qualification.

“Barman,” he screamed, for the umpteenth time, and made a circular gesture with his index finger. The barman understood. He meant that our drinks should be replaced, and when the drinks arrived, he also pointed at a table where three men had been nursing a bottle each since we arrived for the match. No word was said, but in minutes, three bottles of beer were in a basket, on their way to spread the joy of the evening to total strangers.

“That is the spirit,” I said to my friend, in acknowledgment of his gesture to strangers, and as if in response to the mood of the moment, Ademola Lookman arrived at the end of a cross by Calvin Bassey from the cross from close to the Cameroonian left corner flag, and netted when can compete for goal of the tournament.

People danced with glasses in their hands, bathing those around them in beer. Nobody complained. As the cameras panned to the touchline, the dejected face of Coach Rigobert Song, and the consternation on the face of legendary serial winner, Samuel Eto’o Fils reinforced the revelry of those of us who triumphed.

With the second goal as a cushion, and Cameroon still unable to register a single shot on target, the clock conspiratorially ran faster and the match was soon over. The 10 minutes of added time appeared like two minutes.

The referee blew the final whistle at the end of 100 minutes, but it was clear nobody was eager to leave and go home. Everybody wanted the after-glow to linger a bit more, and like well-fed ruminants, we kept regurgitating several high points of the game.

“Bro, we no go go house today,” asked my friend Peter, as the clock on his phone that he waved before me indicated it was 23 minutes past 11 PM.

I smiled and waved to the barman, who immediately understood both my circular gesture of “replace our beer,” and the one I pointed to those same three men who were earlier “blessed” by my friend.

Life arrived shortly after, and with filled glasses, we continued sharing the joy of the evening – a joy that we pray will follow us to the final, and the trophy – a joy that is possible when you share it with friends.

My Story

I contracted a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in 2005 and struggled to find a cure. I tried various conventional medications and injections, but none of them worked. The Doctors who were familiar with my condition stopped answering my calls. I searched for a solution to my problem everywhere, spent all I earned and all my savings but I still did not get the relief I needed. I also experimented with several herbal medications, but they had little or no effect.

I was in and out of relationships, but I could not have sex with my partners for fear of infecting them. I avoided any form of intimacy and lost interest in sexual activities. In 2012, I came across an article on how to cure UTI from home with no chemicals or herbs. I immediately went to the market in Nigeria and bought the items (about twelve items in total), followed the instructions, and felt better after 24 hours. I visited the laboratory at Lasuth General Hospital for a test and it was negative. I still had doubts and repeated the test two weeks later and got the same negative result. Then, I encouraged my friends who I knew had similar conditions to take the same home treatment. We have been free of the dreaded Urinary Tract Infections ever since.

I realized there are so many people who are in the same situation I was in 2005, and I want to share my story and the natural remedy that gave me total freedom from the UTI after living with it for seven years.

I can show you how I cured my Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in 24 hours using natural remedies.
