FIFA To Test Mikel, Oduamadi For Doping

                                

Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) picked Super Eagles duo of John Mikel Obi and Nnamdi Oduamadi for doping test after Wednesday’s 1-0 victory over Kenya’s Harambee Stars at the Kasarani Stadium, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.

The duo were instrumental to the team’s victory over the boastful Harambee Stars who played behind a full capacity stadium in Kasarani.

Varese winger, Nnamdi Oduamadi particularly was a thorn in the flesh of the Stars defence and was clear on goal at the restart but his shot from inside the box when one-on-one with goalkeeper Ochieng was blocked to safety.

Mikel Obi, who was the missing link in the Eagles 2-2 draw against Mexico, combined well with Ogenyi Onazi in the midfield for Nigeria in the second half to stand off pressures from Adel Amrouche’s side.

CSKA Moscow striker, Ahmed Musa scored an 81st minute goal, to give the Super Eagles of Nigeria a 1-0 victory over Kenya.

With this result, the African champions now have eight points from four matches to lead Group F ahead of Malawi, who are on six points after they were held to a goalless draw in Blantyre also on Wednesday by third-placed Namibia.

Nigeria’s next opponent in the World Cup qualifier will be against Namibia next Wednesday, while Malawi host Kenya in continuation of the qualifying tournament.

Gennaro Gattuso Takes Over Palermo as Coach

                                                   

Former Italy and AC Milan hard man Gennaro Gattuso will coach Palermo in Serie B next season, club president Maurizio Zamparini said on Monday.

"I like Gattuso a lot and he will be the next coach of Palermo," Zamparini told Radio 2 in an interview.

The deal means Gattuso, who spent an unhappy spell as player-coach at Swiss club Sion this season, will move between two clubs renowned for unorthodox presidents.

The former midfielder, famous for his crunching tackles, was one of five Sion coaches to be fired this season by Christian Constantin who has employed around 30 managers since taking over for a second stint in 2002.

Palermo were relegated from Serie A this season after Zamparini used three different coaches, two of them twice.

At one point he fired Gian Piero Gasperini, replaced him with Alberto Malesani for three games and then brought back Gasperini before sacking him after two matches.

Kim K Plans to Eat Her Placenta After Delievery

                                             

The pregnant reality star is following in the footsteps of fellow celebs January Jones and Holly Madison, and wants to ingest her own placenta after she welcomes her first child!

Kim Kardashian  is obsessed  with looking as young as gorgeous  as possible, but the pregnant Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is taking her love of youth to a controversial new extreme.

On the season eight premiere of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kim went to her doctor for an ultrasound appointment, and she is having a baby girl! But she was also super interested in another exciting part of her pregnancy — eating her placenta after she welcomes her baby daughter.

When Kim asked her doctor about eating her placenta, he mentioned that it is something moms-to-be are interested in pursuing for when they give birth.

“Don’t you think it makes you look younger?” she asked her doctor. While he didn’t mention whether or not there was any validity to the hype surrounding the claims that eating your placenta is a legitimate beauty regimen, he didn’t discourage her from the practice.

“I really want to do it,” Kim added.

Kim K, wish you had said this before your visit to Nigeria, probably the turn out for that event wouldn’t have been same and the huge amount you were paid for your brief appearance would have 

been seriously cut down. Big illl!!! for you
