@the_beardedsina That last paragraph is me, I treat malaria every month, but I don't do guess work, I normally use my HMO to visit a proper hospital for testing and then treatment. Buts it's been like this for over 6 years at a stretch. A white doc once told me that I'm not supposed to be in Nig

@ArsenalN7 I'm an Arsenal fan and I don't hate Messi, he's the greatest footballer and I'm glad I was able to see him play.

[Godwin Abah @godwinsyn]

@DrJoeAbah I saw through him long time ago, he's bais and that's when I stopped following him or engaging him. It's really sad that we can't find much people that will be objective these days.

There is no single state he didn’t get at least one vote with all the rigging. Long gone are the days some of you ‘polirigfians’ from the North will sit down and ascribe yourselves as the voice of the North.

Northern Nigeria is not a monolith and no one has monopoly on anyone’s votes. The people will decide.

“It was a difficult shot,” photographer Joan Monfort told The Athletic. “We can say I sweated some blood to take it."

In December 2007, Monfort took a photo of a 20-year-old Lionel Messi, who had begun his Barcelona career just over three years earlier, and Lamine Yamal — who was five months old.

It was published in a 2008 charity calendar organised by Barcelona’s club foundation and newspaper Diario Sport, with the money raised going to UNICEF and other charities around Catalonia.

As part of a yearly initiative back then, members of the Barcelona squad were photographed alongside children. Hundreds of families collaborated, and most of the photos have now been forgotten, beyond the treasured private memories of those who took part.

It just so happens that Yamal, Barca’s star of the future, was paired with Messi, who would go on to win the Ballon d’Or eight times.

Norway deserves this victory, they are by far a better team and dominated the game. This Brazilian team is one of the worst ever.

Yes, it is possible for you to be shown a red card in football and have your match suspensions suspended.

On July 1, Folarin Balogun scored the opening goal for the USA against Bosnia in the round of 32. Then in the 64th minute, VAR reviewed a challenge on Bosnia's Tarik Muharemovic, the referee went to the monitor, and Balogun was shown a red card for a foul that the referee himself had not originally called.

Pochettino said after the game: "For me, never is it a red card. It was a normal action in football that happened by accident."

The red card came with an automatic one match suspension for Balogun in the USA vs Belgium round of 16 match. Except FIFA's Disciplinary Committee stepped in.

Under Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, "the judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure." FIFA did exactly that.

The statement read: "In line with Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, the implementation of the match suspension is suspended for a probationary period of one year."
Balogun plays against Belgium. And now, the red card stands but the ban does not.

But if he commits a similar offence within the next twelve months, the original ban comes back, plus whatever new sanction is added on top.

This is not FIFA overturning the red card. They cannot do that. What they did is use their discretion to suspend the punishment for a borderline incident.

They did the same for Ronaldo during World Cup qualifying last year, reducing a three match ban to one, with the remaining games deferred. The red card stays on the record. Only the consequence is paused.

Koscielny had same treatment in 2014, where he was red carded for violent conduct during France’s Eorkd cup qualifying playoffs and was suspended for one game instead of three.

It actually goes both ways too. Qatar's Assim Madibo got a red card extended from one game to five after injuring Canada's Ismaël Koné.

I hope you have learned something today.

@Real1_balogun This is not th first time this Art 27 rule is being implemented, CR7 got it last year as well. So many other players also benefited from this suspended consequence.

@HAHayatu This is the man I use to anticipate your take those years, but politics has made you change a lot. Like I always say, a public affair analyst shouldn't be bias because you have a lot of audience from different divide.

"Ajayi is taking them to the cleaners..."

The impressive thing about this race is how Kayinsola Ajayi led from the start to finish.

He was so clear !!

[Making of Champions @MakingOfChamps]

👏👏THAT'S HOW TO MAKE A DIAMOND LEAGUE DEBUT!!

9⃣.8⃣4⃣s

Kayinsola Ajayi has put the big boys on notice running an equal Nigerian Record to win the men's 100m at the Eugene Diamond League.

Ajayi won the race in 9.84s, beating Jamaica's Oblique Seville who was 2nd in 9.89s. Christian Coleman came in 3rd in 9.95s.
