World-class entertainment heads to Tahiti

Five of the best beach cheerleaders in the world will team up with local dancers for a unique spectacle at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup 2013 Tahiti.

The best Beach Soccer action in the world will be accompanied by the world’s best beach cheerleaders in Tahiti come September. This edition of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup will feature all five of the cheerleaders, Arlene, Catrina, Omayra, Christina, and Xiraxi, who hail from the Canary Islands.

This cheerleading crew is no stranger to big-time events. They performed at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in 2008, 2009 and 2011 as well as other huge showpieces, including the Summer Olympics in Beijing in 2008 and again in London in 2012. While in Tahiti, they will team up with local dancers to help create an even more colourful and exciting event.

Not only will this FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup entertain fans on and off the sand, it will also mark a first for cheerleading. For the first time there will be male dancers performing, too, who will showcase their local Tahitian dances.

Less than three weeks remain before the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup kicks off in Tahiti and much like the quality of the beach soccer to be on display, the entertainment will be top notch as the cheerleaders and Tahitian dancers will not disappoint.

Who knows 'Ladi' of TVC program ''lunch splash''? That;s her after show pose.

Its funny though....

In his first match as a coach at Barca FC, against brazilian club giants Santo FC, he employed on of the best tiki-taka attacking style of football I have seen in years.

(This news has been confirmed and is no more a speculation)

Luis Enrique will reportedly be named as the new coach of Barcelona.

[img]i.smimg.net/13/23/300x225/luis-enrique.jpg[/img]

Former boss Tito Vilanova stepped down from the role on Friday on the grounds of ill health following two bouts of cancer.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas was installed as early favourite to replace the Spaniard, but the Portuguese was dismissive of his chances of taking over at Camp Nou when asked.

However, Enrique, who took over as Celta Vigo coach six weeks ago, is ready to leave his current club in order to take over the reins with the Liga champions, according to TV3.

The versatile Enrique was a former player at Barca and served the club from 1996 to 2004.

She is a personalty other should emulate from...

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Friday cleared Pope John Paul II for sainthood, approving a miracle attributed to his intercession and setting up a remarkable dual canonization along with another beloved pope, John XXIII.

In a major demonstration of his papal authority, Francis decided to make John XXIII a saint even though the Vatican hasn't confirmed a second miracle attributed to his intercession. The Vatican said Francis had the power to dispense with the normal saint-making procedures to canonize John on his own merits.

To anyone who has been paying attention, Francis' decision to canonize both should come as no surprise: He was made a cardinal by John Paul and is very much a pope of the Second Vatican Council, the ground-breaking church meetings that brought the Catholic Church into the modern world which John XXIII opened a year before his death in 1963.

The council opened the church to people of other faiths and allowed for Mass to be celebrated in the languages of the faithful, rather than Latin.

John Paul, who was pope from 1978-2005, revolutionized the papacy, traveling the world and inspiring a generation of young Catholics to be excited about their faith. He was the first Polish pope and the first non-Italian in 455 years — a legacy that continued with the German-born Benedict XVI and Francis.

On the anniversary of John Paul's death this year, Francis prayed at the tombs of both John Paul and John XXIII — an indication that he sees a great personal and spiritual continuity in them.

Benedict spent much of his pontificate trying to correct what he considered wrong interpretations of Vatican II, insisting it wasn't the break from the past that liberals believed."

While not disagreeing outright with Benedict, Francis seems to take a more progressive read of Vatican II and its call to go out into the world and spread the faith — a priority he has shown in the first months of his pontificate.

The canonization ceremony is expected before the end of the year.

Polish media on Friday continued to press for an October canonization, to mark the 35th anniversary of John Paul's 1978 election, but Vatican officials have said that's too soon to organize such a massive event. Dec. 8, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, a major feast day for the church, has also been floated as a possibility.

The canonization announcement came shortly after the release of Francis' first encyclical, a meditation on faith that is unique because it was written with someone else: Benedict XVI.

Benedict's hand is evident throughout much of the first three chapters of "The Light of Faith," with his theological style, concerns and reference points clear.

Francis' priorities come through strongest in the final chapter, where the Argentine Jesuit insists on the role of faith in serving the common good and giving hope to those who suffer. It includes his first clear statement as pope on marriage being a union between man and woman with the aim of creating children.

The encyclical didn't appear to break new ground in church teaching; its novelty was entirely in the dual authorship, and that it was the first of Francis' nascent pontificate."

The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, confirmed that the miracle that brought John Paul to the ranks of sainthood concerned a Costa Rican woman.

The Spanish newspaper La Razon has identified her as Floribeth Mora, and said she suffered from a cerebral aneurism that was inexplicably cured on May 1, 2011 — the day of John Paul's beatification, when 1.5 million people filled St. Peter's Square to honor the beloved Polish pontiff.

La Razon reported last month that Mora awoke with debilitating head pain on April 8 and went to the hospital, where her condition worsened to the point that she was sent home with only a month to live.

Her family prayed to John Paul, and the aneurism disappeared.

La Razon quoted her doctor, Dr. Alejandro Vargas, as saying: "It surprised me a lot that the aneurism disappeared, I can't explain it based on science."

The Associated Press has traveled to Mora's home in Costa Rica but has been told that she is bound by secrecy and cannot discuss her case.

The Vatican's complicated saint-making procedure requires that the Vatican certify a "miracle" was performed through the intercession of the candidate — a medically inexplicable cure that is lasting, immediate and can be directly linked to the prayers offered by the faithful. One miracle is needed for beatification, a second for canonization."

Then-Pope Benedict XVI put John Paul on the fast track for possible sainthood when he dispensed with the traditional five-year waiting period and allowed the beatification process to begin weeks after his John Paul's death. Benedict was responding to chants of "Santo Subito!" or "Sainthood Immediately" which erupted during John Paul's funeral.

There is some concern that the process has been too quick. Some of the Holy See's deep-seated problems — clerical sex abuse, dysfunctional governance and more recently the financial scandals at the Vatican bank — essentially date from shortcomings of his pontificate.

Thus the decision to canonize John Paul along with John XXIII can be seen as trying to balance those concerns.

Such was the case in 2000, when John Paul beatified John XXIII, dubbed the "good pope," alongside Pope Pius IX, who was criticized by Jews for condoning the seizure of a Jewish boy and allegedly referring to Jews as dogs.

Asked how John XXIII, elected in 1958, could be canonized without a second miracle, Lombardi insisted that many theologians believe that isn't required and that a canonization can take place based on the first miracle required for beatification. He said Francis had approved a decision by the cardinals and bishops of the Vatican's saint-making office.

"Certainly the pope has the power, in a certain sense, to dispense of the second miracle in a cause, and this is what happened," Lombardi said.

He stressed that this decision didn't represent any relaxing of the Vatican's overall standards for canonization, but represented a unique situation, given that the church this year is marking the 50th anniversary of Vatican II."

"John XXIII is someone who we know is beloved in the church, we're in the 50th anniversary of the Council which he started, and I don't think any of us have any doubts about his virtues," Lombardi said.

In Poland, the reaction was overjoyed, as expected.

Rev. Kazimierz Sowa, the head of Religion TV channel, said on TVN that Poles are expected to flood to Rome for the ceremony.

"John Paul II was extremely popular during his lifetime and he still continues to inspire people," Sowa said. But he insisted that an October date was preferable, to accommodate the throngs expected at the outdoor ceremony.

"In their interest, I think we should expect the canonization in the fall," he said.

Doesnt look like a typical African Attire to me. Michelle in an African \\\\attt

But if he can flaunt this cash then where are his buddies 'MO-HITS' cashing..

:O #screams and then shuts up

He had an outstanding performance at the Confederation cup and the Nations cup as well but with regards to his foriegn club Chelsea where he plys his trade, he shows little or no effort.
He will clinch the African Footballer of the year, IF, he improves at club level.

Pardon my intrusion into the thread with an Angry tone , but the Possession posted earlier by a fellow Nairalander indicates that the Nigerian are wasteful at their determination with the ball, and show no sign of harmony in the squad that are on the pitch.

Amazing... Baffles me though

Simple! Politics.

How it all started for one of the youngest football manager ever: PEP GUARDIOLA

https://u.goal.com/290900/290997_hp.jpg https://images.supersport.com/Pep-Guardiola-110528-WithTrophy-AI-300.jpg
Guardiola had played as a defensive midfielder
and spent the majority of his playing career
with FC Barcelona. He was part of Johan Cruyff's
"dream team" that won Barcelona's first European
Cup. He also played for Brescia and Roma in Italy;
Al-Ahli in Qatar; and for Dorados de Sinaloa in
Mexico while attending managing school. While
playing in Italy, he served a four-month ban for
a positive drug test, although he was cleared of
wrongdoing twice on appeal in 2009 before the Courts
of Justice of the Italian Football Federation and
the Federal Anti-Doping Courts of the Italian Olympic
Committee (CONI).[2] As an international, he played
for Spain, and in friendly matches for Catalonia.

After retiring as a player, Guardiola became coach
of FC Barcelona B, and mid-2008 he succeeded Frank
Rijkaard as the first team manager. In his first
season as manager, Barça won the treble of La Liga,
the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League. In doing
so, Guardiola became the youngest UEFA Champions
League-winning manager ever. The following season,
Guardiola and Barcelona won the Supercopa de España,
the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup,
bringing the manager's tally to the maximum of six
trophies in six competitions in one year, thus
completing six trophies sextuple in two seasons.

On 8 September 2011, Guardiola was awarded the
Catalan parliament's Gold Medal, the highest honour.
On 9 January 2012, Guardiola received the 2011 FIFA
World Coach of the Year award for Men's Football. On
30 June 2012, Guardiola quit as Barcelona manager,
after achieving 14 titles in four years in charge of
the club.

On 16 January 2013, the management of FC Bayern Munich
declared that Guardiola will join the club for the
2013–14 season after Jupp Heynckes retires in July 2013.
By Monday 24th June 2013, he was officially unvieled as
Manager of the treble winning German Machine (FC Bayern
munich).

emmysenior: To me, that guy isn't a good coach cos he doesn't know how to nurture and brew talents.

He only depend on individual skills.

QUOTE & UNQUOTE thats what first team coach and youth coaches are for... Madrid have made players and he mold a newer Los Blancos team.
ADVICE:
Christiano Ronaldo (right winger and attacking midfielder)
Marcelo (full back)
Varene (rotation CB)

Carlos Ancelotti would surely succeed in Madrid and put an end to this El Cassico feud Morinho promoted. Congrats.
Surprisingly though, he suceeded Morinho at Chelsea (after S1 rout with the Abrahmovic) and then in Madrid (after H1 rout with madrid fans and players)

The Tahiti national football team formed in 1938. It did not join the Oceania Football Confederaton or FIFA until 1990, over fifty years later. The team represents the country of French Polynesia. Tahiti is the name of the largest island of the territory.

The first game Tahiti played was a 2-2 draw with New Zealand in 1952. New Zealand also hold the record for the biggest defeat of Tahiti, a 10-0 rout in 2004.
Tahiti’s record victory is an astonishing 30-0 win over the Cook Islands.
Tahiti first entered the world cup in time for the 1994 edition.

Despite a strong performance with a draw against the Solomon Islands in the first game and a later 4-2 win over the same team, Tahiti did not qualify. The team has since entered every other world cup but is yet to qualify.

Ranked 138th, Tahiti climbing the rankings was evident of a great Nations Cup performance.
