Barcelona announced on Friday they have signed
Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid.
The forward joins on a five-year deal with a buyout
clause of €800 million.


The club have ended a long-running transfer saga by
paying the 28-year-old’s €120 million buyout clause,
and the forward will now join up with the club for pre-
season.


Griezmann is expected to be officially unveiled as a
Barcelona player on Sunday and join up with his new
team-mates on Monday for pre-season training,
although the club is yet to confirm the details.


The 28-year-old’s arrival will not be universally popular
given he snubbed a move to Barcelona last summer,
while rumors have claimed the dressing room would
not welcome his arrival.


Griezmann scored 133 goals in 257 appearances in his
five years with Atletico but announced his intention to
depart the club back in May.

The influential midfielder has been severely punished
for his role in the violence which greeted the Super
Six fixture between Pillars and Rangers
The League Management Company (LMC), organisers
of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL )
have slapped Kano Pillars captain Rabiu Ali with a 12-
match ban.


Ali is being punished for his role in the violence which
occurred after the NPFL Super Six matchday 4 fixture
between Pillars and Enugu Rangers on Monday at the
Agege Stadium.


After the final whistle in the game, Ali rushed to the
referee and despite being held back by teammates,
he was seen barking at the official, who had to run
away before the enraged fans attack him.


According to an official statement issued by the LMC
on Wednesday , Ali was charged for accosting the
referee and in so doing incited others to commit acts
of violence and misconduct in breach of Rule C1.3
The notice to Ali read: “Consequently, and taking into
consideration your role as the captain of the team, by
which your conduct is deemed to be an aggravated
breach with a view to imposing more severe
sanctions pursuant to Rule C19, the LMC intends to
exercise its summary jurisdiction and to impose on
you the following sanction: a ban from all NPFL
matches and activities for a period of twelve (12)
matches, commencing immediately”.


The Kano Pillars captain, who scored in the 1-1 draw
against the Flying Antelopes, has been given 48
hours to accept or appeal the charges and sanctions
against him in writing.

Nigeria is a basket of disappointments.

true, the girl is a great player, myself, I keep wondering why she was dropped.

source---> https://footballlive.ng/dike-disagrees-with-dennerbys-decision-to-leave-her-out-of-falcons-world-cup-squad/

Super Falcons’ Courtney Dike says she knows that decision has been taken to drop her from the Falcons squad to France for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup before her invitation, but she has pledged her support to the team at the tournament.


The attacker believes she deserves a place in the
team due to her scintillating performance in the
team’s 6-1 win over Iceland , where she scored on
three occasions.

“I’ve gotten a ridiculous amount of questions about
my absence for the upcoming cup,” Dike stated.

“Although I scored a hat trick in the last camp I was
unfortunately not selected. While I do not agree with
this decision, I will respect it.
Dike added that working as an account has not
affected her performance on the pitch and the team’s
technical crew are aware of her fitness level before
inviting her to the team.

“Yes, I am actively working as an accountant and I’m
usually busy but everyone was aware of that
beforehand.”

“I always make time for things I love and I am
passionate about and was prepared to do what was
necessary to make it work.

“I continued to train as instructed and I continued to
get questions asking what airport I will fly out of, to
provide bio information, speak about the camp and
tournament, etc.

“I’ve reported my physical activity within the last
month as instructed as well. I was invited to camp
with the assumed opportunity of performing well
translating into more opportunity.”
The former Falconets star however was grateful for
the opportunity given to her and added that she will
be rooting for the Falcons at the World Cup .

“Looking back, I prefer not having an invitation than a
decision already being made about me before my
arrival.

“That being said I’m extremely grateful for the
opportunities I received in the past and my girls will
always have a special place in my heart. I’ll be rooting
for you all! Forever and always.”

Why the heck will anyone choose to do that...have you heard of Lassa fever..

there is a treatment for rats carrying lassa fever same as dogs spreading rabies

The Federation International Football Association
Fifa released its first ranking of the year on
Thursday as Nigeria Super Eagles Maintained its
fourth position in Africa but slipped two places on
the world ranking.


Nigeria dropped from her previous 44th position to
46th in the FIFA Coca Cola World Rankings.


The Eagles maintained its 1427 points from the
previous list in December.


The Asian champions, Qatar climb to 55th in the
world, gaining 38 places and reaching their best
position since 1993.
According to FIFA statement, the Asian Cup has
been responsible for the notable changes in the
rankings, with the scarcity of games in other
confederations leaving the top 20 unchanged, and
Belgium still in pole position.


Further down the table, Qatar is not the only team to
have ascended in spectacular style.


Fellow finalists, Japan (27th, up 23) have also
soared up the order, while Korea Republic (38th, up
15), United Arab Emirates (67th, up 12) and Jordan
(97th, up 12) all registered double-digit gains.
There were also significant upward moves by the
likes of Iraq (80th, up , Iran (22nd, up 7) and
Uzbekistan (89th, up 6).


Another consequence of these changes is that Asia
has boosted its numbers in the Ranking’s top 50.
The Asian Football Confederation is now
represented by four teams up, one on the last
edition, and now stands level with Africa, whose
numbers have been depleted by Congo DR (51st,
down 2) dropping out.


Meanwhile, Senegal retains her top spot among CAF
teams with 1505 points and 24th in the world with
Tunisia following closely with 1493 points on 28th
place.


Behind is Morrocco who garnered 1440 points after
descending three places, from 40th placed in the
previous list to 43rd.


The next rankings will be published on April 4.

10. Octopuses


Octopuses have the largest brains of any
invertebrate. The common octopus has about 130
million neurons in its brain. A human has 100
billion. However, three-fifths of an octopus'
neurons are not in the brain; they're in its arms.


Each arm has a mind of its own, so to speak, and
if cut off (which the octopus can regrow), will
wander away and even grab at food as it did while
still attached
