England vs. Nigeria: Rohr reveals Super Eagles team plans

Image
Gernot Rohr has confirmed that he will play his 'best team' in Saturday's friendly against England at Wembley. Rohr told reporters on Friday that he will pick his preferred starters for the World Cup warm-up match, with one or two exceptions. "It is a big test. In the last match we didn't play our best team," the German coach began. "[On Saturday] we will try to play our best team. "Perhaps there will be one or two players who are not in the best team because of injury," Rohr continued, "but tomorrow we will see the team which has a chance to start against Croatia." Those two absentees are likely to be Wilfred Ndidi and Moses Simon. Ndidi appears to have recovered fully and trained with the rest of the squad at Wembley on Friday, but will not be risked, according to team officials.

A London gangster and his brother were behind the notorious unsolved theft of the World Cup trophy just months before the 1966 tournament in England, according to a report. Sidney Cugullere, with the help of his brother Reg, stole the Jules Rimet trophy while it was on public exhibition at the Methodist Central Hall in Westminster, Reg's son Gary said. The theft led to one of the biggest investigations in Scotland Yard's history, before the trophy was found seven days later by a dog named Pickles in bushes outside his owner's south London home. The masterminds behind the heist remained a mystery. Gary told the Daily Mirror that his uncle Sidney had stolen the trophy "for the thrill" and not for financial gain -- and that Reg had also been in the hall at the time of the theft but had not seen Sidney take the cup. He added: "On the street after coming out of the doors, Sid lifted his jacket and said: "Ere you are, Reg, look at this'. He...

An Italian accountant has been jailed for 24 years after intentionally infecting 30 women with HIV. Valentino Talluto is said to have had unprotected sex with at least 53 women after his HIV diagnosis in 2006, the youngest of whom was 14 at the relationship's start. The accountant, using the pseudonym "Hearty Style", went on social networks and dating sites to find his victims. On Friday, judges sentenced the 33-year-old to 24 years in prison. Talluto's defence lawyers had argued their client's actions were "imprudent, but not intentional". 'My ex told everyone I had HIV' However, those who asked him to wear a condom were told he was either allergic, or had recently been tested for HIV, news agency AFP reported. When some of the women confronted him after discovering they were infected, he denied he was a carrier of the potentially deadly virus, which can lead to Aids. As a result of his actions, another four people contract...
