SUAREZ BAN IS CORRECT, SAYS NESTA

JUNE 27,  Alessandro Nesta

Luis Suarez’s four-month ban by FIFA was the right level of punishment, claims Alessandro Nesta. Suarez, who is appealing against the ruling, bit Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder during Uruguay’s World Cup victory in Group D.


Nesta, a Sony Team Ambassador at the World Cup, said he believes biting to be worse than spitting. “I used to believe that spitting at another opponent was the worst thing you can do, but biting someone goes beyond,” he said.
“You can think that something is definitely the worst, and then you discover there’s always something worse. I think it’s the right sanction for him.”
Nesta revealed he had also been the victim of a bite during his career. “Yes, during a game in Italy. It was an opposing player, the funniest thing is that we played together previously and we were good friends,” he said.
“But when you’re on the pitch, the adrenaline is pumping and there are no friends any more. I reacted by trying to punch him, luckily the referee didn’t see anything so we both stayed on pitch.”
Nesta added that Italy, sent packing by the Uruguayans, should focus on their younger players. “In my opinion, right now, Italy faces a change between old and young players. It’s not an easy moment for Italian football,” he said.
“We have to look at the younger generation. Marco Verratti is the strongest one we have. Then Alessio Cerci, Lorenzo Insigne, Claudio Marchisio. They are the most talented and they are likely to make a strong contribution in the future. El Shaarawy is another.”

 

 

MESSI 4 NEYMAR 4

June 26, 2014  

So, it looks like Messi versus Neymar for the Golden Boot, exactly what the World Cup scriptwriters would have asked for. There were two more for the birthday boy in the 3-2 win against Nigeria to draw him level on four goals at the top of the scorers’ chart with Brazil’s golden child.
In the process Messi, who turned 27 on Tuesday, became the third Argentinian after Gabriel Batistuta and Oreste Corbatta to score in three consecutive World Cup matches, helping steer his country through as Group F winners to a last-16 match against Switzerland.
Runners-up Nigeria, who face France in the next round, took plenty of consolation from the goalscoring feats of youngster Ahmed Musa, who matched Messi with a double of his own. He looks a real handful.
There was a hat-trick for Switzerland’s Xherdan Shaqiri, undoubtedly the architect of their 3-0 win against Honduras in Manaus. “Xherdan Shaqiri is a player who can make the difference because he can decide games on his own,” noted the manager Ottmar Hitzfeld afterwards. Argentina beware.
France went through as Group E winners despite their goalless draw against Ecuador, who were reduced to 10 men after a straight red card for captain Antonio Valencia, of Manchester United.
Bosnia bowed out of their first-ever World Cup with an encouraging 3-1 win against Iran in Salvador, with Manchester City’s Edin Dzeko getting himself on the scoresheet at last.
You Golden Booty . . . the candidates for top scorer at the World Cup
4 – Neymar (Brazil), Messi (Argentina).
3 – Muller (Germany), Van Persie, Robben (both Holland), Benzema (France), E Valencia (Ecuador), Rodriguez (Colombia), Shaqiri (Switzerland).
2 – Cahill (Australia), Mandzukic (Croatia), Suarez (Uruguay), Gervinho (Ivory Coast), Depay (Holland), Perisic (Croatia), Martinez (Colombia), Dempsey (USA), Bony (Ivory Coast), A Ayew (Ghana), Musa (Nigeria).

 

NEYMAR WILL REACH MESSI'S LEVEL SAYS THIAGO SILVA

 


Off course to doubt over that, in the area is success nothing is impossible. Brazil captain Thiago silva says Neymar has what it takes to reach the level of his barcelona team-mate lionel messi and claims the 22-year-old is "growing into a crescendo" at the World Cup.

Brazil face Chile in the last 16 at the Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte on Saturday and the hosts' hopes will once again rest on the shoulders of Neymar.

Like Messi, the former Santos forward has already netted four goals in the competition and Thiago Silva says the Brazilian is well on the way to matching the Argentina skipper.

"Messi is one of the best strikers in the world, one of the very best players," the Paris Saint-Germain defender told reporters at a press conference ahead of his side's match against Chile. "But Neymar is growing into a crescendo and he will be soon considered one of the best in the world,

"Technically, he has all the skills. Messi is one of the best of all, but I’m sure Neymar will get to that level."

Asked the same question, Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari agreed that Neymar is on the right track to be considered on a par with his Barcelona team-mate.

"Thiago just answered," he said. "Messi is one of the biggest and the best, but Neymar is following in that direction.

"I will only give my opinion [on which player is better] in 10 to 15 years," he revealed, but added: "Neymar doesn’t play to be the best, he plays for Brazil and stands by Brazil because he wants Brazil to be world champions."

 

LIVERPOOL HOPEFUL; OF HOLDING ON TO STAR STRIKER LUIS SUAREZ AS SPAINISH GIANTS REAL MADRID AND BARCELONA LOOK TO SWOOP

Liverpool remain hopeful that Luis Suarez will stay at Anfield at the start of the season despite the rumblings of intent emanating from Spain.

Barcelona and Real Madrid will both make bids for Suarez this summer but so far none have been received.

Liverpool have enquired about the availability of Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona, who the Catalans are willing to sell, but a part-exchange deal involving Suarez has yet to be discussed.

Barcelona media believe that Uruguay striker Suarez has taken the decision to leave Liverpool this summer and the comments he made following Thursday's defeat of England have given them and Real Madrid encouragement. However, Liverpool have yet to receive any such indication.

Although a figure of £82million has been mentioned, Suarez and his camp say there is no release clause in his latest contract and that indicates it will all be down to how much money either club throw at the project.

Madrid have long been considered favourites but they have a side issue with Karim Benzema's contract talks that could yet have a bearing on the speed of their move for Suarez.

Stumbling block: Real Madrid's talks with their forward Karim Benzema could hinder their move for Suarez

Should Benzema agree terms on a proposed £7m a year deal it is possible they may even postpone a major assault for Suarez until next year.

They are selling Alvaro Morata, and are willing to listen to offers for Angel di Maria, Sami Khedira and Fabio Coentrao. All have been linked with Liverpool but di Maria and Khedira, particularly, may have more relevance to Chelsea if Madrid continue to push for Carlo Ancelotti favourite Ramires.

Monaco striker Radamel Falcao is also being offered to Madrid which, it is understood, he would prefer despite interest from other clubs.

The feud between T.I. and rapper Azealia Banks has gotten even more ugly and scary!
What started as a jab at T.I.’s wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, has now turned into a threatened lawsuit.
Banks originally sparked the feud on June 16 by making fun of Harris. “U want no mediocre but…have you seen your wife?” she said and has since deleted.
“No Mediocre” is in reference to the rapper and Iggy Azalea’s new song. Iggy, who is quickly becoming as big as Nicki Minaj, is known to be a rival of Banks.

Banks then sent a series of nasty tweets (among others): “What happens when ur wife has meth mouth? What do u do?...You’ve already been to jail for drugs and guns, your wife can’t read…can you be more of a statistic?”
After T.I. found about the tweets being directed to him he posted an Instagram pic (below) saying:
U musty-mouthed-thot-bot-bad-body-syphilis-lipped-rectum-vomit-unimportant-ugggggly-monstrosity-of-a-maggot-a-- BIIIIIIII---HHHH!!!!!! If u speak ill of my family again….. I WILL END YOU!!!!!! #OnPHIL #OnDOE #NoBuuullls--t people fall down stairs daily…. U better watch yo step,u ungly-a-- Gremlin-baby #nerveofdisCretin #f--kouttahea

But, the feud didn’t end there. Banks went on a Twitter rant and even threatened to sue him!
The n---a shouting bad b---hes this bad b---hes that, is almost always at home with some busted bumpkin…But your wife has meth face. And your wife can’t read. I saw you backstage at Kanye and you had nothing to say. I stood next to you ON PURPOSE. To see if you would say something. I’m taller than you in my heels. Come see me n---a. And come by yourself…Guess who’s about to get sued for threatening me!... You’ll be back in Jail soon.
The only message Tiny has shared was a picture on Instagram of a Rihanna-inspired meme saying “I mean damn b***h…Can you ever just worry bout yourself?”
