Argentine legend, Batistuta hurt by Messi’s new goalscoring record.

Lionel Messi scored and recorded two assists as Argentina routed the United States 4-0 in the Copa America semi-final. The Barcelona forward who eclipsed ex Argentina international, Gabriel Batistuta’s 54 goals is now Argentina’s all-time highest goalscorer with 55 goals. Batistuta has however admitted he’s a bit hurt by Messi’s new feat.
“I came to be the highest goalscorer of all time without even realising. One day I woke up and I heard I had scored more than Maradona. It wasn’t a goal I set for myself. It wasn’t an objective or an obsession, because I never cared about statistics. How could it not hurt me to see that record be broken? It is going to hurt when Messi breaks my record, but we are not talking about being beaten by any terrestrial being,” the 47-year-old stated.

Angry Cristiano Ronaldo throws reporter's microphone into the lake.


Ahead of Portugal’s match with Hungary at Euro 2016, the Portugal squad took a morning stroll in the gardens of their hotel complex, and a reporter approached Cristiano Ronaldo to ask him if he was ready for tonight’s game. The influential footballer grabbed the reporter’s microphone and threw it inside the lake.
The reporter didn’t go overboard with the question but before you pick the gavel, there’s more to the story.

Ronaldo and the media house the reporter works for, CMTV to be precise have a long-standing feud. According to reliable sources, the TV station wrote a lot of slanderous reports about him and his family so much that he sued them and won the case. In 2014, the Real Madrid talisman refused to answer a question from a CMTV journalist in a post match conference.

But the truth is that wasn’t a proper conduct. Whatever happened to ignoring the journalist?

Gender Equality : Uche Jombo disagrees with Ooni of Ife’s wife

Actress and producer, Uche Jombo has reacted strongly to Ooni of Ife’s wife opinion on gender equality.  Speaking over the weekend in an Emerging Women’s Forum in Maryland, USA, the monarch’s wife opined that men and women can’t be equal because each gender play different roles in life. .. 

Read Uche Combo reaction to Olori Wuraola-Zynab Ogunwusi’s sentiment below :

‘Dear Olori, The reason you can hold a microphone and speak in public rather than at the backyard of the palace cooking jollof rice while your husband travels the world, is because of women like you who fought for us to live life and enjoy it equally like anyone else. 

‘Your Royal Highness, do not be deceived, your belief in this revolution has absolutely no bearing in its movement. Stand tall, behind the king, watch as more women understand this concept, watch as they break the glass ceiling, reaching straight for the moon… and beyond…in their Louboutins.

‘If I work for 3 hours and a man works for 3 hours, we both deserve to get paid the same,’ and ‘If a man’s virginity cannot be tested on the wedding night, mine shouldn’t be tested as well’ are some of the points the actress used to drive home her call for equality.
‘FYI let’s not mistake gender roles for gender equality. I believe she was clearly talking about roles / responsibilities as a woman hence my repost about learning the right meaning of Gender equality.’

Puma releases statement on Switzerland torn shirts issues

Sport wear company, Puma have released a statement, apologising to Switzerland over their ripped shirts issues last night. Recall that four of their shirts were ripped during the Swiss’0-0 draw with France. The company however blamed the torn-shirt farce on defective material.

“Sports company PUMA has immediately started to investigate why football jerseys of the Swiss National team tore when grabbed and pulled by opponents during the UEFA EURO game “France – Switzerland” on Sunday evening.

PUMA’s primary concern is to always ensure superior quality standards and next to Switzerland, PUMA equips four further national teams at the UEFA EURO 2016 (Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, and Slovakia). In all of these teams, players wear PUMA’s jerseys with the same ACTV Thermo-R technology. All federations have confirmed that they never had any such issues and are very happy with quality, functionality and design of their jerseys.

Our analysis of the Swiss Home jersey from Sunday’s game shows that there was one batch of material, where yarns had been damaged during the production process, leading to a weakening in the final garment. This can happen, if the combination of heat, pressure and time is not properly controlled in the manufacturing process. The tight fitting ACTV jerseys are made of an elastane and polyester material mix. The defective material was used in only a limited number of Swiss home jerseys.

PUMA has checked the inventory of all jerseys of all PUMA teams and can assure that such an unfortunate incident does not happen again. PUMA’s national team jerseys for the EURO 2016 are manufactured in Turkey.


The ACTV Thermo-R technology helps players to maintain an optimum body temperature through a unique phase-change material injected into the shirt’s inner athletic taping, strategically inserted in the front and back of the shirt. It has successfully been used in national and club team jerseys since March 2014 and worn during the World Cup and subsequent club season.

This was a very unfortunate incident and PUMA apologizes to the Swiss federation and their players.”
