Qatar 2022 World Cup could be 48-team tournament.

Fifa president Gianni Infantino wants to expand the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to 48 teams – which may mean matches being played in other Gulf states.Football’s world governing body voted last January to expand the tournament from 32 teams for 2026, but the South American confederation Conmebol have asked for that to be brought forward. BBC Sport understands unofficial talks have taken place with Qatar officials, who remain sceptical given the logistical issues and practicalities of hosting an extra 16 teams. Fifa will now conduct their own study to determine if the plan – which would involve Qatar hosting a further 16 matches – is feasible.“It seems to me a very interesting idea,” Infantino said after attending a Conmebol meeting in Buenos Aires. “We have to study it seriously and if it is possible, why not? “I firmly believe in an enlargement because I am convinced that it is good for the development of football. That is why we have proposed it and that is why we have agreed to...

"I Prefer Money To Good Sex" – Amanda Ebeye -.

Nollywood actress, Amanda Ebeye has revealed why she would choose money above good sex when asked to settle for one. The single mother of one when asked by Saturday Sun said: “If the sex is bad but he is a good man and treats you like a queen, will you stay in the relationship or marriage?’ “As long as he has lots of money, why not?

Buhari confirms loot 10 years after defending thieving Abacha.

Ten years ago, President Muhammadu Buhari, who served as the Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) under the late former military Head of State, Gen. Sanni Abacha denied that his former boss looted the treasury, but his government on Tuesday confirmed the repatriation of Abacha loot. The Ministry of Finance has announced that $322.5 million was returned to Nigeria by the Swiss Government as part of funds looted by the late Abacha. In June 2008, Buhari who had just lost election as presidential candidate of the All Nigerian People’s Party (ANPP) gave Abacha a clean bill of health in Kano after the remembrance prayers marking 10 years of his death. He said there was no basis for accusing Abacha of corruption. “Ten years without the late Abacha, the said allegations remain silent because there are no facts. All the allegations levelled against the personality of the late Gen Sanni Abacha will remain allegations. It is 10 years now, things should be ove...

Areola demands respect if PSG win French league.

When Paris Saint-Germain host Monaco on Sunday seeking to seal the Ligue 1 title, Alphonse Areola will be living his dream, but the young 'keeper still faces challenges. First, he has to keep out Monaco, who last season ended PSG's run of four consecutive titles and this time sit second, 14 points behind with six rounds to play. "Last year they took the title from us and that hurt us because this club is in the habit of winning the league every year," the 25-year old told AFP in an interview. "So it's even more symbolic against them. We have the chance to bring the title back to Paris." "Last season a new coach and new players had come in and it was necessary to adapt," he said. "This season we have gelled." He also wants outsiders to treat a French league title for PSG with respect. "People are trivialising this title too much," Areola said. "You have to be consistent and perform well over the en...

California woman who drove family off cliff was drunk.

A woman believed to have intentionally driven her wife and children off a cliff in the US state of California was legally drunk, the local sheriff’s office said. A vehicle owned by the couple — Sarah and Jennifer Hart, both 38 — was found at the bottom of a cliff that overlooks the Pacific Ocean in California’s Mendocino County on March 26. Their bodies and those of three of their children — Markis, 19, Jeremiah, 14, and Abigail, 14 — were recovered, while their other three children — Hannah, 16, Devonte, 15, and Sierra, 15 — are missing and feared dead. “Preliminary results showed Jennifer Hart had a .102 BAC (blood alcohol content),” the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Friday. “Sarah Hart and two of the children had a positive toxicology finding in their blood for Diphenhydramine, an active ingredient in Benadryl,” it said. In California, a person is legally drunk if they have a BAC of .08 or higher. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine ...

Key world reactions to US-led strikes on Syria.

Here is a selection of the main responses from across the world: - Russia - Damascus's ally Moscow reacted with fury to the strikes and said it was calling an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council.

Russia's ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, said "such actions will not be left without consequences". - Syria - "The Syrian Arab Republic condemns in the strongest terms the brutal American-British-French aggression against Syria, which constitutes a flagrant violatio...

Exercise boosts intelligence of future generations.

Parents who exercise may boost the intelligence of future generations, new research suggests. Active mice are more likely to have offspring that show improved abilities to learn compared to rodents whose movement is restricted, a German study has found. Such offspring also have better communication between cells in the regions of their brains responsible for taking on new information, the research adds, which is known as the hippocampus. Exercise is thought to boost mice’s intelligence by altering Deoxy ribonucleic Acid (DNA)/genetic material in their fathers’ sperm, according to the researchers. Previous findings suggest being active improves people’s memories, productivity and decision-making skills by boosting oxygen levels to their brains. The researchers found sections of DNA, known as miRNA212 and miRNA132, may be responsible for improved learning in rodents’ offspring. These DNA sections accumulate in mice’s brains after exercise. Previous research sugg...

OAU scandal: A collective damage to academic community – Don.

A university lecturer, Dr Olawale Lawal, has described the “Sex-for-mark’’ scandal, involving Prof. Richard Akindele of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile Ife, as a collective damage to the academic community. Lawal, a lecturer of Diplomacy and Foreign Policy at the Lagos State University (LASU), made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Saturday. According to him, the scandal is a collective damage to Nigerian academics, and stakeholders in the university system will do well to ensure that such a thing does not happen again. Lawal advised lecturers to help maintain the standards of university education by shunning undeserved gratification to students. “Bargaining for marks through money or sex calls for serious scrutiny and is highly condemnable, because it mortgages the standard and quality of our universities. “If we mortgage standards, then the certificates we issue will be devalued and the graduates we produce, ...

What a Massive Turnout In Florentina City 'Bid David Astori Farewell',

The defender's sudden death last month at the age of 31 has united not only a squad but an entire city, propelling the Viola to five successive wins It was approaching one in the morning when Fiorentina's players arrived back at the club's training ground following their surprise 2-0 victory at Roma. The Stadio Olimpico success represented a sixth successive Serie A win for the Viola and some 300 fans had turned up to celebrate the Tuscan team's best run of form since 1960. There they all stood, players, coaches and supporters alike, at the newly named 'Centro Sportivo Davide Astori' and, in unison, they began to sing "C'e solo un capitano". There's only one captain. Nobody connected to Fiorentina is in any doubt as to who is responsible for the club's record-breaking winning streak. As Giovanni Simeone said at the Stadio Olimpico, "It's Davide."
