Ronaldo says there's no 'big rivalry' between him and Messi, just respect

Image
Just about any discussion on a soccer message board or comments section can and will devolve into a Ronaldo vs. Messi argument (it's one of Murphy's Laws), but CR7 himself says there's no rivalry between him and the little Argentine. They're not friends either, but there's plenty of respect between the two. When asked by Coach magazine which opponent he admires the most, Ronaldo said: "There is a big mutual respect between myself and Lionel Messi. The media like to make out like we have this big rivalry, but we don't. It is not like we are good friends, but there is a mutual respect on both sides."

Nothing seems to have changed with Ronaldo's latest statements, even with his struggles so far this season, scoring just four goals in nine matches to Messi's 14 over the same period....

The verdict did not take into account the man's HIV-positive status, because there was no evidence of any of the girls or women having caught the virus. Custom in some parts of southern Malawi dictates that a man, known as a "hyena", is paid to have sex with bereaved widows to exorcise evil spirits and to prevent other deaths from happening. "I dared to reveal what I have been practising...

Nigerian caoch hopes Victor Moses Reverses his Retirement

Image
Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr is hoping that the chance to win a second Africa Cup of Nations title could convince Victor Moses to reconsider his decision to retire from the international football. Moses, 27, stunned the African nation when he called time on his international career earlier this month, but Rohr is hopeful that the decision can still be reversed. "We spoke already and I hope that his decision is not definitive," the German told KweséESPN. "I think it depends on his motivation. If he really wants to commit himself again, he is welcome. "Maybe the chance to win the Afcon is motivation. We will see." Moses was a key member of the Super Eagles team that won a third African title for Nigeria in 2013, and the World Cup in Russia was his second for the country. The forward scored 12 times in his 37 appearances for Nigeria, and provided a constant and potent threat for the Super Eagles whenever he played. His sudden retirement took even h...
