Nice One op |
Half time at the Vicente Calderon. It has been a highly entertaining clash in the Madrid derby this evening but it is Los Blancos who head into the break with a 1-0 lead over the hosts, Atletico. Goalscoring chances for both sides, but a finished Benzema header and a missed penalty from Griezmann proved to be the key moments of the opening 45. A very interesting second period in store! 43' There shouldn't be too much added time allocated by the referee here as this has pretty much been a free-flowing match apart from the goal and a few fouls here and there. Madrid will probably just look to keep it tight for the next few moments and head into the break with the lead. 42' Substitution-Daniel Carvajal Arbeloa 41' Some worrying scenes for Real Madrid at the moment as Carvajal won't be able to continue after suffering a nasty looking blow to the knee. He actually signals for the stretcher himself before eventually trudging off the pitch to be replaced by the veteran, Alvaro Arbeloa. A blow for Los Blancos, as the former Leverkusen man has been bright tonight. 39' Yellow Card-Ángel Correa 39' Correa looks like a player who is always on the brink of lashing out with a little showing of aggression, and he previously got away with it with that poor challenge on Casemiro. However, he finally goes into the book after hacking away at Ronaldo to break down a Madrid counter. 37' Ronaldo is inching ever closer to overtaking Raul's goalscoring record here, which so far in this game has evaded him. The Ballon d'Or winner stands over a free kick around 35 yards out and steps up to send a stinging strike towards goal, but like his previous attempt, it goes over the bar, with Oblak not particularly troubled. 35' There are the obvious negative ramifications for Atletico if they were to be defeated tonight in that they would be some points behind their city rivals and the champions, Barcelona. However, the mental damage that losses so early in the season against the Clasico duo could do could certainly harm morale for the campaign ahead. 33' Just under 15 minutes to go in the first half at Vicente Calderon and Real Madrid are good value for their 1-0 lead at the moment, but Atletico have still managed to pose a threat, and would be level of Navas hadn't pulled off that super save to deny Griezmann's penalty. Still all to play for! 31' OVER FROM RONALDOOOO! The former Manchester United attacker, who had a very frustrating time in his last Spanish Primera Division match against Malaga, swivels quickly inside the box and finds a yard of space to get the shot away, but his attempt goes high and wide. 29' Correa is a lucky, lucky boy to escape a yellow card, or even possibly a red here as he goes in with his studs up on Casemiro, catching the Brazilian directly on the shin pad. The referee could not have had a better view, but decides it was somehow a fair challenge. Atletico get away with one there. 27' Griezmann looks to latch on to a deflected pass down the right flank and suddenly finds himself in a race against Varane to get the ball. The Madrid defender displays an absolutely tremendous turn of pace to reach there before his compatriot to send possession out for a throw-in. He was taking no prisoners there! 25' Ronaldo collects possession with his back to goal and turns sharply before driving into space through the middle. He shifts the ball on to his left foot and looks to thread an incisive pass down the channel for Benzema, but Gimenez is on hand to make the important, sliding interception. 22' Missed Penalty-Antoine Griezmann PENALTY MISSED FROM GRIEZMANN! The Frenchman steps up and whips the spotkick low towards the bottom corner, only to see his attempt brilliantly palmed away from danger by the excellent Keylor Navas! Los Blancos survive! Still 1-0! 22' Penalty save-Keylor Navas 21' Yellow Card-Sergio Ramos 21' PENALTY TO ATLETICO MADRID! Fernando Torres dashes ahead through the middle but just allows his touch to let him down on the edge of the box. Sergio Ramos collects but a similarly poor touch allows Tiago to get in ahead, forcing the defender to commit the foul inside the box! 19' Some scintillating play on the edge of the Atletico box from Real Madrid at the moment as they look to find an opening to grab another goal. Modric, Ronaldo, and Marcelo are all involved positively but the hosts end up getting a little bit of respite as Oblak comes off his line to claim a cross. 17' Yellow Card-Gabi 17' First booking of the match now and it is a deserved, and predictable one for Gabi, who halts a Real Madrid counterattack by cynically scything down Benzema a few yards inside the centre circle. You would have put your mortgage on the Atletico captain being shown a yellow card tonight; quite the combatant! 15' Correa is looking the most likely candidate to claw Atletico Madrid back into contention here, and seems to be playing with absolutely no fear against his experienced Madrid backline. His latest attempt at goal is a wicked strike from 20 yards which has Navas scrambling across, but which goes the wrong side of the post. 13' Just wide from Correa! The 20-year-old makes an excellent run in behind the Atletico defence into the right channel and receives the ball to feet before drilling a low strike aimed at the bottom left corner. Unfortunately for him, and the hosts, it is dragged just wide. 11' That goal is no less than Real Madrid deserve here, as Benitez has sent his men out from the get-go to play with purpose and intensity, which is exactly what Simeone's outfit are missing. Normally the Argentine can be counted on to keep his teams at the very least solid and organised, but they have allowed their rivals to run over the top of them in this opening 10 minutes. 9' Assist-Daniel Carvajal 9' Goal-Karim Benzema GOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLL FOR REAL MADRID!! LOS BLANCOS TAKE THE LEAD! Carvajal skips beyond Filipe far too easily down the right flank and stands a beauty of a cross into the box for Benzema, who glances a superb header into the top left corner! Poor defending from Atleti! 7' Vital interception from Godin! Carvajal gets into an advanced position down the right wing and sends a teasing cross along the six-yard box, which Benzema looks poised to send into the back of the net, only to be foiled by the Uruguayan, who clears with a last-ditch tackle! 5' Correa pops up in behind the Real Madrid defence and hits the byline before smashing a left-footed strike at goal from the wide angle. Predictably, it doesn't pose much of a problem to Navas and ends it slamming into the side netting. 3' We get our first glimpse of Ronaldo here who is, of course, aiming to become Real Madrid's all-time top goalscorer. The Portuguese gets on the end of a Modric cross to head an attempt at goal, but it ends up flashing harmlessly wide of the right-hand post. 1' We are under way at the Vicente Calderon! The players are making their way to the pitch and we are almost ready for kick-off! |

■ Buhari during his humiliating address ....What seemed like a mass boycott of his speech may be associated with a lack of seriousness in communicating severe security issues related to the Boko Haram killings, it was gathered.
|
■ A conclave of world leaders, international media, and other delegates who thronged the United Nation’s General Assembly’s seventieth session were nowhere to be found when Muhammadu Buhari, President of Nigeria, addressed the general debate on September 28, and the poor outing was conspicuously appalling. What seemed like a mass boycott of President Buhari’s speech may be associated with his nonchalant attitude and a lack of seriousness in communicating severe security issues related to the Boko Haram killings, it was gathered. International Guardian’s correspondent in New York for the event reported a lonely frazzled speaker, sweltering as he imperceptibly picked his words from a written script. “At some point, I thought he was talking to himself,” said Joel McHenry, another delegate, a Canadian-based observer who spoke to our newsroom. Another delegate associated with the United States office of the Secretary of States categorically labelled Buhari’s absence and attitude over issues of security as “utterly dismissive.” “World leaders are so engaged with regions serious about their agenda, and Nigeria has not shown that enthusiasm,” he said. In July, International Guardian reported how President Muhammad Buhari’s exorbitant visit to the United State emitted some horrible stakes causing the White House to voice out complete disappointed about a total lack of preparedness by the Nigerian contingent to discuss vital issues about both countries. The Obama administration had also decried a poor presentation of policy needs and updates made by the Nigerian leader. President Buhari’s UN outing has equally been riddled with controversy over poor logistics, lackadaisical preparations, and process incomprehensibility. First, he had missed a United Nation’s meeting in which countries affected by Boko Haram's violence pleaded for assistance for those displaced by the insurgency. In a region where millions are being displaced by the Islamist outfit, Nigeria’s absence from this meeting was seen as blow to a global collaboration for assistance over war against terrorism. For instance, a few weeks ago, the Geneva-based International Organization for Migration estimated that at least 2.1m Nigerians have been displaced since the group began violence in 2009. Another embarrassment yet plagued President Buhari's outing when he was prevented from meeting Pope Francis for arriving late at the facility, and aimlessness using the wrong gate. As a process, presidents, governmental heads, and delegates are expected to arrive early for UN engagements, and facilitators often brief diplomatic officers ahead of time to avoid process failures. It was not clear what happened in President Buhari’s case as his entourage, handlers, and the Nigerian embassy staff were busy trading blames about the shameful outings. It may be recalled that in July, the President fired all non-career Nigerian ambassadors in foreign countries in what he called an effort to "reposition the country’s foreign policies." In September consequently, he announced a proposed shutdown of some Nigerian Embassies and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, claiming his actions would cut down costs and wasteful spending. Since these changes, operations at most Nigeria’s foreign offices have been disorderly and structurally unproductive. It was not clear if the prevailing rigid work environment in these offices was the cause of President Buhari’s UN humiliation, but as one of the Nigerian delegates who anonymously spoke to International Guardian in New York put it, “I will not make guesses, but I can assure you that heads will roll.” Source: http://www.guardiannewsusa.com/why-global-leaders-boycotted-buhari-s-united-nation-s-address.html

The Nigeria Football Supporters Club boss believes the midfielder's decision to represent the Three Lions at the international level will come back to haunt him,Jordon Ibe will live to regret his decision to choose England ahead of Nigeria, says President of the Nigeria football and other sports supporters club, Rafiu Ladipo. The debate over the Liverpool’s rookie international future came to an end after the Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh confirmed that the 19-year-old has chosen to represent the Three Lions. According to Ladipo, the English senior has nothing to offer Ibe and feels the player should have taken a leaf out of the likes of John Fashanu and Gabriel Agbonlahor who failed to make it with the European team. “It’s rather unfortunate that Ibe has chosen not to play for his fatherland instead another country. The truth is that England will only use and dump him,” Ladipo told Goal. “We have had many experience in the past when Nigerians and Africans were lured to play for them, and the moment they hand them one or two caps, they are done, so I think it would be a good idea for him to change his mind and represent Nigeria. “I believe he has more to gain and many years to play for Nigeria rather than England. Since he has chosen to play for the [Three Lions], I wish him the best of luck but I know too well that very soon, he will be done. He pointed out that attention should be focused on the Nigerian league to discover great players rather than rely on foreign groomed stars who would always turn down the country. “If we have good materials abroad, there is nothing bad approaching them but if they turn us down, talents abound in Nigeria and we can make use of what we have,” he continued. “Football is played by a team and not an individual. If we can focus our attention on players from our league, the better for us else we will keep seeing our foreign groomed talents snub us. “[John] Fashanu,[Gabriel] Agbonlahor and [Patrick] Owomoyela have all learnt their lessons the bitter way. Which of them played international football for three years? None. “I think it is a bad decision on their path and they are dearly paying for it. For me, I would like to advice Nigerians abroad to think twice before choosing to represent any foreign country,” he concluded.
