Luka Modric wins World Best player of the year


There was a night of festivities for the good and great of world football in London on Monday night. FIFA handed out a raft of awards at The Best and there were plenty of deserving winners. Plus also some curious awards as well. As always, questions are being asked of FIFA this evening.
The Egyptian King bagged the 2018 Puskas Award for his Premier League goal for Liverpool against Everton. Many wondered how Salah won the best goal of the year award considering Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale scored memorable overhead kicks as Real Madrid won the Champions League.

The FIFPro World XI:

David de Gea

Dani Alves,

Raphael Varane,

Sergio Ramos,

Marcelo

Luka Modric,

N’Golo Kante

Eden Hazard,

Lionel Messi,

Kylian Mbappe

Cristiano Ronaldo

Luka Modric wins men’s player of the year Other winners on the night included Didier Deschamps as men’s coach of the year and Marta as Women’s Player of the Year. Breaking the duopoly of Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric won men’s player of the year. The feat of guiding Croatia to the World Cup final is one that will live long in the memory and Modric was suitably humble on winning the award.

Mo Salah won the Puskas Award for a goal Messi scores every other week.

Messi was left out of the final three, but made the FIFA World XI.

De Gea was in the World XI but didn’t win goalkeeper of the year.

Salah was named among the final three best players, but didn’t make the World XI.

Transfer Talk:Liverpool are already in the final steps to complete their third transfer of the summer

Image
Liverpool will complete the signing of Lyon’s Nabil Fekir by today according to a report from the Liverpool Echo. The Reds have been chasing the French forward since the end of last season and though the report states that today could be the day for Fekir to be a Red, the next two days are critical for negotiations.  The fee for the 24-year-old star is stated to be around £48.4m with add-ons expected to be £4.4m. Michael Edwards, our sporting director, is in Paris to complete the talks before Fekir travels with the France squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. We have also kept a medical team on standby just in case we can finalise the signing in France. Fekir would be our 3rd signing of the summer, considering that Keita and Fabinho have already been signed. Confirmation of signing from other outlets too Twitter also saw a couple of renowned Liverpool experts agree to the fact that the deal will be done soon or is done already. James Pearce replied to a tweet where he was m...

It’s time to let Biafra people go

Image
The current antics of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the self-proclaimed leader of the illusory Biafra Republic, brings to mind an often quoted remark by Karl Marx, who pointed out in reference to the 9th November 1799 coup d’etat by Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte in France: A woman holds a Biafran flag during a service at the St. Martin Catholic of Tours Church on May 28, 2017 in the Aba-South district in Aba. The Nigerian civil war’s 50th anniversary will be commemorated on May 30. The war was triggered when the Igbo people, the main ethnic group in the southeast, declared an independent breakaway state, the Republic of Biafra. / AFP PHOTO “History often repeats itself, the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce…” As if to illustrate this thought-provoking adage afresh, post-colonial Nigerian history, which first produced the immense tragedy of Biafra with its horrible litany of death and widespread destruction, is now going on to provide the world with a new version of Biafra that is being...

Liverpool Vs Chelsea :Sarri to make 5 changes in today's game against Liverpool

Image
Click here to Join the whatsapp group for all CHELSEA NEWS Chelsea travel to Anfield on Wednesday night to face Liverpool in a Carabao Cup third-round clash, and Maurizio Sarri is expected to make six changes to his starting lineup. The Blues lost their 100% record in the Premier League at the weekend when they were held to a goalless draw at West Ham, and they will no doubt look to bounce back with a win in the cup against high-flying Liverpool. Sarri has never been a huge fan of massive rotation for cup competitions during his career, and that is not expected to change for this one with the Italian set to field a strong team at Anfield. In goal, Kepa Arrizabalaga is expected to retain his place. In defence, Davide Zappacosta is likely to come in for Cesar Azpilicueta, with Andreas Christensen and Gary Cahill expected to replace David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger, with Marcos Alonso keeping his spot. A midfield three of N’Golo Kante, Ross Barkley and Mateo Kovacic is expected to l...
