Victor Moses: How Henry reacted to Chelsea player’s retirement

Former Super Eagles’ player, Henry Nwosu has reacted to the retirement of Nigerian-born Chelsea player, Victor Moses, from international football. Recall that Moses on Wednesday evening announced his retirement from the Super Eagles, via his Instagram page. Nwosu believes that the 27-year-old will hurt his chances at Chelsea after quitting the Super Eagles, adding that he needs to play for Nigeria to be more recognized at his club. “I don’t think it’s a wise decision because he is still very young. He needs to play for Nigeria to be more recognised at his club because Nigeria is a big name in football,” Nwosu told Goal. “It might make him lose his place in his club, they may look at him as a player who is not playing in the national team so he doesn’t deserve regular playing time. “For your club, that’s the most important thing because the more you are playing for your club, the better for the national team. “Club competitions are different from national competitions but you n...

Champions League: Rio Ferdinand blames two PSG players for 3-2 loss to Liverpool

Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has blamed Kylian Mbappe and Neymar for Paris Saint Germain’s 3-2 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday. Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side beat PSG 3-2 at Anfield in their first Champions League game of the season. The Reds raced into a 2-0 lead before half time but the visitors fought back to level at 2-2. It was substitute Roberto Firmino’s stoppage time goal that secured a dramatic and deserved win for the hosts. The former United defender was not impressed by the lack of defensive output from PSG forwards Neymar and Mbappe. And he claimed the Ligue 1 side were not playing as a team. “Unbelievable (game). We said before we expected goals, they didn’t disappoint,” Ferdinand told BT Sport. “Liverpool were much what we expected, the energy, the intensity of which they played with, attacking at every moment. “But these guys, the Paris Saint-Germain team, I’ll be honest with you I was very, very disappointed in them. “As ind...

Cristiano Ronaldo to face extended ban?

Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo could reportedly face an extended ban from Champions League football following his red card against Valencia on Wednesday night. The competition's all-time leading goalscorer was sent off just half an hour into his debut in the tournament for new club Juventus after appearing to briefly pull the hair of defender Jeison Murillo. Ronaldo was shown a straight red card and left the field in tears, throwing his participation in both games against former club Manchester United into doubt. UEFA rules dictate that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner must serve an automatic one-game ban with no right to appeal - ruling him out of Juve's clash with Young Boys on October 2 - although the automatic three-match suspension imposed for violent conduct in the Premier League does not apply in the Champions League. However, UEFA could increase the punishment depending on whether a panel considers the offence to be serious enough, with a two-game ban den...

Eight Makeup Mistakes That Can Add Ten Years To Your Look

There are a number of makeup mistakes that makes you look older and if your goal is to look your age or even younger than you actually are, you may want to consider staying away from them. Choosing a dark lipstick Lips lose their fullness over time, and using dark coloured lipsticks tend to make them look even smaller. On the other hand, mauves and pinks help to highlight lips and give the illusion of fullness. A swipe of lip gloss will plump them up even more. If you do decide to go for a darker shade, pick a sheer formula or a stain, which aren’t as flat as a heavier finish, or dab the colour on with your finger. Go for a lip liner that matches the colour of your lips, rather than your lipstick. This will help you avoid an overly dark liner that will make your lips look pursed. Using The Wrong Colour Foundation Too light or too dark foundation will look dull and unnatural, instead of youthful and glowy. To pick the right colour when testing them out in the store, dab a bit on y...

A woman’s tongue suddenly grew hairy after she was involved in a car crash that crushed her legs. The 55-year-old woman from the US was admitted to hospital after sustaining a severe crush injury to both legs, according to a case report by the New England Journal of Medicine. After her wounds became infected, she was given intravenous meropenem and oral minocycline antibiotics, to fight bacteria in her body.

However, after a deterioration of relations with the club, the club record goalscorer is poised for a €100 million move to Serie A giants Juventus this off-season. Alvaro Morata and Federico Bernadeschi’s agent Beppe Bozzo has talked to Tuttosport about the significance of the global superstar moving to Italy while sending Los Blancos a warning about the gaping hole his departure will leave.

Lacazette Mocks Manchester United Star, Alexis Sanchez On Social Media

Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette is clearly enjoying Alexis Sanchez’s struggles at Manchester United after he ‘liked’ a post mocking the Chilean. The winger left the Gunners to join Jose Mourinho’s United in the January transfer window having appeared all set to join rivals Manchester City. It’s not been plain sailing for Alexis at Old Trafford, however, with the 29-year-old often failing to replicate the high-level performances he managed for Arsenal with his new club. Indeed, Alexis has scored just three goals in all competitions since joining the Red Devils, and has failed to find the net in his opening two appearances of the 2018-19 campaign. He did record an assist in the 2-1 opening-day win over Leicester City although having missed the defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, Alexis was only introduced as a second-half substitute in the 3-0 loss to Tottenham. And Lacazette, who joined Arsenal in July 2017, appears to be enjoying the former Arsenal man’s struggles, having ‘like...
