Lynn Nolan Ryan is one of the best pitchers of our generation, and possibly the game. She had the longest career of any major league player; him pitching 27 seasons for the Mets (66.68-71), Angels (72-79), Astros (80-88) and Texas Rangers (89-93). He is currently the manager, president and co-owner of the Rangers. His induction into the Hall of Fame was in 1999.

Nolan Ryan is known for his ferocious fastball, which regularly clocked over 100 miles per hour. In the last game of his career, two before his announced retirement date, he tore a ligament in his shoulder. He threw one final pitch with the injury: a 98-mph fastball.

In his prime, Nolan received a lot of accolades: he was an 8-time All-Star selection, was on the All-Century team, and was part of the World Series-winning Mets. He holds the record for most strikeouts in his career: His 5,714 beat second-best pitcher Randy Johnson by 839.

Nolan Ryan is best known for his ability to throw no-hitters. His seven far outperformed the competition. He also had 12 hits and 18 hits, but was never able to throw a perfect game. That feat has only been accomplished by 20 men, 2 in the 2010 season.

His number has been retired by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (#30), Houston Astros, and Texas Rangers (both #34). He never got a chance to prove himself as a Met within his strong-shooting lineup; he was not happy in New York and requested his 1972 trade to the Angels. It was in Anaheim that he flourished as a pitcher; that season was his first as a starter. He threw a league-leading 329 strikeouts; the fourth highest total punch in the 20th century. But he didn’t finish: in the next five seasons he broke that record four times.

Since his retirement, Ryan has co-written six books and threw out the honorary first pitch at the 2005 White Sox-Astros World Series.

Dance refers to a styled and patterned bodily movement that is usually performed to music. Dance should serve the purpose of communication or live expression. Dance as an art medium has been as perennial as cedar. In various parts of the world, dance means different things to people. In recent decades, inextinguishable dance styles have spread across continents like wildfire.

The African continent has enjoyed its own fair share of dance craze. Since it has become imperative that dance go along with music, dance fairs have been organized in all corners of Africa.

In West Africa, Nigeria has proven to be the center of the dance revolution. In recent times, every crack in Nigeria has created a new style of dance. The intrusion of a challenging dance culture into Nigeria is no coincidence. Nigeria, as a geographical entity, is surrounded by French-speaking West African neighbors on its borders. These French-speaking nations have previously enjoyed a very stable dance culture. In the late 1990s, the governments of several West African countries banned a dance called mapouka because of its excessive sexual content. It is pertinent to note that the mapouka dance originated in the Ivory Coast, another French-speaking West African country.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the heady visitation of the makossa dance swept across the African continent like a volcano. The makossa dance step conquered virtually all African nations, Nigeria included. Originating in a certain French-speaking West African country, the makossa dance was Nigeria’s most imported product at the time (late 1990s-early 2000s). The makossa dance involved all Nigerian children, youth and adults in various ways. It became so fashionable that it eliminated the galala dance step, which was the choice of the masses whenever a party was organized.

Before the advent of the makossa dance, the galala dance was the official dance in all Nigerian ghetto communities. This style of dance was heavily promoted by prominent Nigerian acts who happen to be descendants of the ghetto community. Some notable acts that stood out to further the galala cause include Daddy Showkey, Baba Fryo and African China.

When the makossa dance gained impressive recognition and a loud ovation in the country, the suo dance began to take its toll. The suo dance gradually replaced the makossa dance, which paved the way for her entry into the Nigerian entertainment scene. I thought the suo dance would enjoy a long reign as the official ghetto dance style of Nigeria. The suo dance that was showcased and promoted by artists such as Danfo Drivers (crazy melon and black mountain), Marvelous Benjy et al. it involved lowering the waist and swinging movements of the hands like someone about to start a generator set.

Before I could say ‘Jack’, my thoughts were shown to be mere carelessness. The Yahoozee era had dawned on every city in Nigeria. The yahoozee dance style had some negative intonations; it was alleged to be a dance style founded by internet hustlers and scammers popularly known in suburban Nigeria as yahoo boys. The reign of the dance washed over all Nigerians like a torrential downpour. From kindergartens to universities, the Nigerian people did the yahoozee dance with a sense of vigour. Nigerian singer, Olu Keep, adopted this dance style as a trademark and repackaged yahoozee into a brand. The very goofy looking dance contains a lot of hand movements while the feet remain quite still.

Once again I thought the Nigerian population would run out of ideas, but I was proven sorely wrong. The Atalanta breeze has slowly but surely infiltrated every social function in Nigeria. Churches, entertainment venues, workplaces, and dance performances have caught Atalanta fever. From rural to urban areas, everyone has towed the Atalanta line. The movement of hands and legs produces a spectacle of madness. In the last African Cup of Nations (AFCON 2010) organized by Angola, Nigerian football masters such as Peter Osaze Odemwingie and Obafemi Akinwunmi Martins danced Atalanta at various times in celebration of their goals. Nigerian musicians like Artquake, Terry G, Timaya, TuFace Idibia and Ruggedman have also been proud exports of Alanta culture.

As I write, many dance steps are springing up in various parts of Nigeria. I would suggest the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to investigate the dance market and try to devise strategies to exploit this market. If the dance industry is properly exploited, then Nigeria could start to enjoy the influx of tourists to the country.

In fact, Nigerian dance culture has proven to be an intricate part of the Nigerian entertainment industry. It has come to stay and probably grow.

An automatic diver’s watch is built to be water resistant. Because they are brought out on dives, they can withstand diving pressures up to 660 feet. However, these watches are generally worn out of the water as well, where wear and tear can occur. Yes, they are waterproof, but even an extreme change in temperature or pressure can allow water to seep through.

The first thing to do before touching your watch is to decide if it is worth fixing yourself. If your watch is very expensive, you may want to go to a professional to have it fixed. Places like Fossil are willing to repair your watch for free because of their lifetime warranty. However, depending on the brand of automatic dive watch you buy, they may have a limited warranty that can be voided by opening the back of the watch face yourself.

If you only have a little bit of moisture on your watch face, there are things you can do without even going into the mechanics.

One of the first things you can try is to leave your automatic diving watch in a dry place and preferably somewhere with sunlight. Place the watch on an absorbent towel to help remove moisture. The heat of the sun will evaporate the moisture.

You can also try taking a hair dryer (set on the lowest setting) or a fan to remove the water. Many hair dryers now come with a setting that allows air to come out at room temperature and this will be the safest way to do it. The last thing you want is to melt any of the sensitive components due to high temperatures. This can also work with air vents or radiators.

If that doesn’t work, take a large bag of dry rice and place your automatic diving watch inside it. Rice loves moisture and if you leave your watch in it for two to three days, the water can wash away.

Finally, you can try to do it yourself. I suggest buying watch repair tools. You can find them at your local jewelry store. When you have the right tools, remove the case back from the watch as if you were changing the battery. An automatic diver’s watch doesn’t have a normal battery like most watches, so don’t be surprised. Allow the watch to air dry and when you see absolutely no moisture, reattach the back and seam carefully so as not to scratch any of the mechanisms.

These are just a few ways you can try to remove water from your automatic diving watch and is in no way a guarantee. If you try one (or all) of these methods and there is still water on the watch face, take it to a professional. This is especially true for salt water because salt water will rust and damage components.

The Ontario Hockey League franchise now known as the Sudbury Wolves has been firmly planted in that northern Ontario city since the 1972-73 season. The franchise began as the Barrie Flyers in 1945 and moved to Niagara Falls to become the Niagara Falls Flyers in 1960.

Since moving to Sudbury, the team has been to the Robertson Cup final just twice and has yet to win an OHL championship. Probably the best year in Wolves history came in 1975-76. The team went first overall, winning the Hamilton Spectator Trophy and reaching the Robertson Cup final before losing to eventual Memorial Cup champions the Hamilton Fincups.

The Sudbury Wolves have retired just three jersey numbers between 1972 and the present. All three played on that Wolves team from 1975-76. All three continued throughout their careers in the National Hockey League with two of the three playing over 1,000 NHL games.

Randy Carlyle dressed number 6 during his three years with Sudbury. The defender played with the Wolves from 1973-74 to 1975-76. In that final season, he had 79 points from the blue line in 60 regular-season games.

The Toronto Maple Leafs liked what they saw and selected Carlyle in the second round of the 1976 NHL amateur draft. Randy played 1,055 NHL regular-season games between 1976-77 and 1992-93 with the Maple Leafs, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Winnipeg Jets. In 1980-81, as a member of the Penguins, Carlyle received the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s best defenseman.

Randy pretty much jumped right into a coaching career after retiring as a player. He won a Stanley Cup as head coach of the Anaheim Ducks in 2007 and is currently the head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

As Carlyle looked at the blue line, number 10 ron duguay I was offending In 1975-76, Duguay had 134 points with 42 goals and 92 assists in 61 games. Ron’s 92 assists were mostly assists on Rod Schutt’s 72 goals. Both the 92 assists and 72 goals stand today as team single-season records. The puzzling thing is that Sudbury hasn’t retired Schutt’s number either.

Ron Duguay played four years with Sudbury from 1973-74 to 1976-77. After his final season, the New York Rangers selected him 13th overall in the 1977 NHL Amateur Draft. Duguay played nearly 900 NHL regular-season games between 1977-78 and 1988-89 with the Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh Penguins and Los Angeles Kings.

Number 17 Mike Foligno he was in his rookie season with Sudbury in 1975-76, but was still a major contributor to the team’s success. Foligno played four years with Wolves from 1975-76 to 1978-79 and captained the team in his final season. In 1978-79, Mike scored 65 goals and assisted on 85 for 150 points. The point total stands today as a Sudbury Wolves single-season team record.

Mike was the third overall pick in the 1979 NHL draft, going to the Detroit Red Wings. Foligno was drafted behind only Rob Ramage and Perry Turnbull and surpassed Hockey Hall of Famers Mike Gartner, Ray Bourque and Mark Messier. Mike played just over 1,000 NHL regular season games between 1979-80 and 1993-94 with the Red Wings, Buffalo Sabres, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Florida Panthers.

Foligno returned to Sudbury for the 2003-04 OHL season and remained as General Manager and Head Coach for seven seasons. In 2006-07, he led Wolves to their second Robertson Cup final appearance. This time, it was the Plymouth Whalers who denied Sudbury a trip to the Memorial Cup.

AFC North Division:

1) Baltimore: The Ravens won’t find the sled so easy this year after posting a 13-3 regular season mark last year, pushing them will be the Pittsburgh Steelers who are just 2 years away from winning a Super Bowl and whose QB is now back in full force after a near-fatal off-season motorcycle accident last year and emergency appendicitis surgery. The same goes for the Cincinnati Bengals, whose quarterback is now back in full force as well after using last season as something of a springboard to rebuild his confidence following a devastating knee injury.

The Ravens have one of the best one-two punches in the NFL at QB with Steve McNair at center and former starter Kyle Boller backing him up, but they’ll need to get their offensive act together quickly if they want to repeat as division champions versus having some fresh faces. that they need to learn the offense, they have a new running back (Willis McGahee), a new fullback (Justin Green or rookie Le’Ron McClain), a couple of new offensive linemen (former starters Tony Pashos and Edwin Mulitalo are gone), and a new offensive coordinator (Rick Neuheisel was promoted).

Defensively, the Ravens will once again be one of the best units in the NFL, however they also have one more year to go and will have to replace Pro Bowl linebacker Adalius Thomas. Baltimore went 6-10 just two years ago and went 13-3 last year which goes without saying is a huge improvement from 7 wins from one year to the next the idea here is that the The Ravens’ win total will fall somewhere in the middle. Projected record: 10-6

**Look to play IN the Ravens in their home opener on September 16 against the visiting Jets, both teams enter this affair fresh off a divisional game and Baltimore is actually playing in a short week after having played one start Monday night at Cincy, however, keep in mind the fact that the Ravens have one of the best home-field advantages in the league, as evidenced by winning 42 of their last 56 home games (75% ) In a direct way. It’s a pretty safe assumption that the Ravens will be the favorites in this game, with that in mind, a look in the old history book reveals that Baltimore has now covered 13 of their last 16 ATS home games (81.25%) when installed as A favorite at home during the month of September!

2) Pittsburgh: A new era will begin with the start of the inaugural season in Steeler country as 35-year-old HC Mike Tomlin takes over for the first time from the late Bill Cowher, who led Black and Gold for 15 years, Pittsburgh also had to replace the offense. coordinator Ken Whisenhunt and assistant HC Russ Grimm, who also coached the offensive line, Whisenhunt is now the HC of the Arizona Cardinals and brought Russ Grimm with him as his assistant HC. Pittsburgh replaced Whisenhunt with Bruce Arians, who had coached the Steelers WR for the past three years, which means the offensive philosophy will in all likelihood remain much the same, which is a plus when you have a change at the helm.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the defense, as new HC Mike Tomlin chose to retain defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau who loves to run a hybrid blitz zone defense, while HC Mike Tomlin is a Tampa-2 defensive guy trained by Tony Dungy that’s cool. one season as defensive coordinator for the Vikings. Generally speaking, most teams that experience a head coach change tend to struggle at the start of a new season, I don’t think that will happen with Pittsburgh because they will essentially have the same philosophy of being coached on both sides of the ball as in years past, add to that the fact that Pittsburgh has a strong core of veterans and a healthy quarterback and it’s not a stretch to expect an improvement from last year’s 8-8 mark.

In the final analysis, Pittsburgh will show improvement this season, but the improvement may not show up in the win/loss column due to the fact that they reside in a tough division that includes two games each against Baltimore and Cincinnati and also they have a very difficult no. Divisional schedule that includes games in Arizona, Denver, New England and St. Louis and also includes home dates against visiting Seattle and Jacksonville. Projected record: 9-7

**Look to play AGAINST the Steelers in their season-opening game at home against Buffalo on September 16, with the public in mind, we should get exceptional line value on this one because the Steelers will just shred Cleveland in their opener season and Denver will likely have done the same with Buffalo. The Bills performed well as a pup last year covering 7 of 10 ATS in this role and that includes covering New England and Miami last year to start the season receiving +9.5 and +6.5 respectively, it’s also good to know that according to According to the old history book, Buffalo has covered an incredible 14 of its last 16 ATS games during week 2 of a new season.

3) Cincinnati: The Ben Gals won the AFC North divisional crown in 2005 with an 11-5 regular season record only to see their Super Bowl dreams flushed down the proverbial toilet when quarterback Carson Palmer suffered an injury in the knee against Pittsburgh in the playoffs Physically, Palmer was able to return to the field last season, but the emotional scars from that injury lingered and contributed to Cincinnati’s 8-8 record last season, yet Palmer and their offense should not take all the blame. for they received little help from a shoddy 31st-ranked Ben Gal defense in the league at the end of the season.

Needless to say, CIncy HC Marvin Lewis has a lot of work ahead of him in regards to his defense, however, Cincinnati’s powerful offense returns basically intact, though the team needs to find a third receiver to replace the suspended Chris Henry, and also must settle a running back depth chart where rookie Kenny Irons (Auburn), former Michigan first-round pick Chris Perry and Kenny Watson will battle for tags behind starting RB Rudi Johnson.

Cincinnati had a pretty good draft and they have a pretty easy non-divisional schedule to navigate as far as facing New England, the Jets, Arizona and St Louis, all at home in the land of Bengal, outside the AFC North, the most difficult as a visitor. for Cincinnati it will be their week three trip to Seattle, but the good news is that they will have an extra day off after their trip to Cincinnati from Seattle as they take on the Pats at home in MNF the following week. Projected record: 8-8

**Look to play these Ben Gals when they visit Kansas City on October 14, Cincy will be fresh after a week off and refocused after opening their season by playing three of their first four games against the United States-bound competition. playoffs. The Ben Gals opened last season with a 23-10 win at KC as 2-point puppies, but they may be the small favorites in this matter and if that’s the case, it’s nice to know that Cincy was now covered 7 u their last 8 ATS games. Against the AFC West and according to the old history book, Cincy is in the best role of him when he was installed as a favorite on the road, as evidenced by covering 7 of 8 times ATS in the last three seasons in this situation.

4) Cleveland: HC Romeo Crennel and his coaching staff have a lot of work ahead of them this season, as they must improve an offense that ranked 31st and a defense that ranked 27th last year if they are to retain their spots next year. In truth, the Brownies had an excellent draft that was highlighted by snaring OT Joe Thomas and QB Brady Quinn in the first round and CB Eric Wright in the second round. In an attempt to bolster the offensive line, Cleveland also brought in free agent and former Bengal OG Eric Steinbach to pair with LeCharles Bentley, who missed the entire 2006 season after injuring his knee during the first practice of training camp. from last year. Cleveland also brought in former Raven RB Jamal Lewis, who has a lot to prove this year, to run behind what should be a pretty good line if they stay healthy and solidify as a unit.

Defensively, Cleveland struggled to stop the streak last year, as evidenced by ranking 27th out of 32 teams in this category, as a way around this problem, the Brownies brought in Robaire Smith from the Titans and Shaun Smith from the Bengals to, hopefully, raise the number of players. overall level of play In the big picture, Cleveland has the difficult task of residing in the AFC North, which has three playoff-caliber teams in Baltimore, Pittsburgh and in-state rival Cincinnati, meaning the Brownies will once again be in the basement waiting for the elevator. of the next year. Projected record: 5-11

** Look to play AGAINST these Brownies when they visit Oakland on September 23, Cleveland will have played their first two games of the season at home against Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, who are two of their biggest rivals and have a home game against Baltimore on deck after of this contest, which means Cleveland is in for a “sandwich” game when they visit the Raiders. This contest is payback for Oakland who lost at home to Cleveland last year in the final 21-24 as 2.5 point home dogs, the Raiders had a top 10 defense last year and should be able to get revenge against a team from Cleveland. that’s fresh off of two hard-hitting divisional games.

The recently concluded Euro 2008 was widely covered in the international media, but there was another story that attracted less coverage and readers. Spain’s Euro 2008 victory party soured when one fan was killed and nearly 100 injured during wild celebrations in Madrid.

The victim, a 40-year-old man, was found lying in a pool of blood by street sweepers in the center of the capital. Initial media reports suggested that he likely sustained a head injury.

After the national team broke a 44-year spell, Spaniards took to the streets in wild celebrations that lasted well into the next day. Wrapped in Spanish flags, fans set off fireworks and honked their car horns.

Police tried to stop fans from jumping into the Cibeles fountain, the traditional way to celebrate a soccer victory, and made baton charges to break up isolated riots in the capital. More than 50 supporters were arrested for acts of vandalism and public disorder. Luckily there was only one death reported.

The game of soccer has been closely associated with hundreds of deaths. Many times it was the result of hooliganism or football riots and many times it was the result of accidents or stampedes or fights between fans.

Soccer and violence have gone hand in hand for many years. In 1314, King Edward II of the United Kingdom banned soccer to prevent soccer-related violence. Most nations that play soccer have witnessed soccer-related deaths from time to time.

In 1968, more than 70 people were killed when the crowd at a soccer match in Argentina collapsed after young people threw flaming papers at each other. In 1971, a fight broke out at a match in Brazil, killing four and injuring 1,500.

In 1964, in another soccer accident, more than 300 soccer fans were killed and another 500 injured in Peru in a riot during an Olympic qualifying match between Argentina and Peru.

In June 2006, Germany beat Poland in a World Cup final match, a result that meant Germany qualified for the second round of the final. The match was marred by violent clashes between German and Polish fans. Police detained more than 300 people in Dortmund after clashes broke out. German fans hurled chairs, bottles and fireworks at the police. Various groups of German and Polish fans fought each other in separate engagements. In February 2007, in Saxony, all matches in the German lower leagues were canceled after around 800 fans attacked 300 policemen after a match.

In Turkey, before Galatasaray’s UEFA Cup semi-final match with Leeds United AFC in 2000, many fans were stabbed to death after street fights between Turkish and British hooligans.

At the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, there were limited incidents of violence, with more than 200 pre-trial arrests. During that time, police believe that on average each rioter consumed or dumped 17 liters of beer.

In a more serious situation, police had to protect Libyan fans in Egypt from missiles thrown at them by Egyptian fans on the top tier during a match between Egypt and Morocco.

In another soccer accident, 125 people were killed and hundreds injured when soccer fans stampeded at a match in Ghana in 2001. In Johannesburg, South Africa, on January 14, 1991, forty people were killed when soccer fans they rushed into a stuck outlet to escape rival fans fighting in a match. game southwest of Johannesburg.

On April 15, 1989, in England, ninety-five people are killed and at least 200 injured in Britain’s worst sporting disaster after a surge of crowds crushed fans against the barriers at the semi-final match of the World Cup. English FA Cup between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough Stadium.

In thousands of other cases, hundreds of fans were stabbed to death in various locations around the world. Many matches were cancelled, and many clubs paid heavy fines. Public property faced destruction in countless events. All of these incidents leave the game with a tarnished image. Now, most soccer-playing nations are taking additional security measures for various tournaments. Along with governments, a lot depends on the fans as well. Only they can help stop such violence. It takes a broader, more liberal perspective among fans to make sports a sports affair!

The goal is to hire better and faster, but is it really happening? Writing a job requirements position can be a daunting experience considering everyone wants the best talent available on the market with the right qualifications and top-notch experience.

Since the advent of SEO, job advertising has evolved. Now, creating SEO-optimized job postings is more of a necessity if we want to reach a larger audience (which we do very well). Below I have suggested 5 easy ways to do it.

Custom URL

We’ve talked about adding keywords like location and title to your job postings. My suggestion is to customize your web address with your job title, location, and important keywords. It emphasizes the main keywords in addition to making your URL searchable. Long domain names turn readers off, so it’s best to limit it to 3-5 extra words after your domain name. If put to use correctly, that should be enough. Remove any extras or connecting words, such as ‘the’, ‘a’ and ‘an’.

Add attractive videos

You know what is common between search engines and web visitors, they both love videos. Statistics say that viewers consume 95% of a message when they see it in a video, compared to 10% of text. Apart from that, videos also register several times higher click-through rates. In addition to driving traffic, when your post is supported with a video, job seekers tend to spend more time on your page, increasing your time-on-page metric. This also helps job seekers and visitors to learn more about your organization.

With the benefits of attracting more qualified staff, adding engaging videos also helps you boost your rankings on the SERPs. You may also consider adding a transcript of the video to your website or job posting. It will further optimize your post.

Use landing pages

Job offers come and go and once the position is taken, the web page is removed. The reason why I strongly advocate the use of landing pages. You can list certain positions that are always open and available, or even difficult to fill for. The idea behind this step is to drive your target audience or job seekers to your careers page, even if you’re not hiring. These landing pages can be optimized for SEO with different techniques, including top keywords, so they are easily found by web crawlers and job seekers.

Optimize job ads using keywords

SEO and keywords are forever partners, one cannot survive without the other. Any job description that is not keyword-rich is very likely to get stuck within a circle of a limited audience. The job title followed by the location name pretty much explains everything and therefore MUST contain the relevant industry centrifugal keywords. These are the first things a job seeker will look for. To increase traffic, the job title should be generalized, to increase the chances of searches. But at the same time, it shouldn’t be so common that it puts you in competition with millions of other people.

The keywords you choose should strike a balance with each other and form a clear picture in the mind of the job seeker. There are several free tools available that help you recognize keywords. To get started, you can check out the Google AdWords Keyword Tool. This is a very good way to start optimizing your job postings and generating traffic early on.

Optimize it for smart readers

It is very likely that your post will first be read by robots considering the deployment of Artificial Intelligence for various reasons. Let me cite a few tactics to support Intelligence so they share your job posting with the relevant audience:

First of all, watch out for grammatical or spelling errors in your post. Follow the golden rule of revision (Twice!). These silly bugs confuse the AI. Next, avoid excessive formatting, such as capitalization or excessive use of special characters. Surely you can be creative with your posts. You can make use of powerful marketing words, but the format is not AI-friendly and therefore best kept to a minimum. Lastly, don’t forget the company profile. Job seekers want to know who their prospective employers are, their beliefs, work ethic, and the like. This gives AI another chance to help you connect with like-minded people and reach a larger audience.

Gone are the days of job seekers going door to door leaving their CVs, the world has moved to a screen and so must recruiters and hiring managers. That doesn’t really imply that you need to learn new software with complex coding, some tricks and techniques with basic internet knowledge will do the trick.

The media have made LeBron a star and a villain. Some people don’t like LeBron, they even hate him. There are millions who love it and I am one of them. He is an amazing basketball player and the best NBA basketball player of this time.

So why all the hate? Well, maybe the way he moved to Miami and left the Cleveland Cavaliers was a little unorthodox, but nonetheless, he had every right to go as a free agent. Or maybe when in Miami LeBron, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh had an early celebration. No matter what LeBron said at that celebration, he truly believed what he said.

I think if Dan Gilbert spent the money to surround LeBron with quality players, the Cavaliers could have won an NBA championship and LeBron wouldn’t have to leave the Cavaliers. That didn’t happen and his goal has always been to win an NBA championship. Great. players always have the goal of winning a championship and not just playing for money

What’s the difference when Jeff Green was on the Oklahoma City Thunder team one day and was on a plane to the Boston Celtics the next? Why can owners change your whole life in 1 day? The NBA is a business.

Didn’t he work hard throughout the 8 years he’s been in the NBA? Could you say that you have dedicated yourself to a specific career and have put your whole mind and body into your profession like LeBron has?

LeBron may have said arrogant things on occasion, but can you look in the mirror and say you’ve never bragged about anything?

Maybe you said that you are the most beautiful girl or the most handsome boy. Or you are the best worker and you are indispensable and your company could not do without you. We know that is not true. I’ve heard guys say they’re the best kissers or the best in bed, really?

Just because you’re not famous or on TV doesn’t mean you haven’t made arrogant statements at one point or another. Or when you were 20, you didn’t do crazy things or something you might have done and wish you hadn’t. So what’s the difference between you and LeBron James?

So before you talk about how arrogant LeBron is, take a look in the mirror. If you dislike or hate LeBron, then you must dislike or hate yourself.

In their second group stage match played against Japan at Impuls Arena, the Falconets upset Japan by beating Japan 2-1 in a game in which Amarachi Okoronkwo and Desire Oparanozie scored for the Nigerian team. The stage was then set for their final group clash against Mexico, and the Nigerians, already assured of a place in the quarter-finals, rallied to draw 1-1 and move second in their group.

At the quarter-final stage, Nigeria were grouped alongside defending champions USA. It was a classic match that saw the best of African football. Amber Brooks of the USA had put her team ahead on 9 minutes, and it looked as if the goal would be enough to book them a place in the last four, when from the blues, Helen Ukaonu fired a rocket free-kick into the top corner of the USA goal in the 79th minute to level the score 1-1. The game was then decided in a penalty shootout which saw the Nigerians triumph over their US counterparts 4-2. It was a momentous occasion for women’s soccer in Africa, as no African country had ever beaten the USA at that level.

The semi-final matchup saw Nigeria clash with South American newcomer Colombia. It was a match that was decided by an early goal from the diminutive Ebere Orji in the 2 minute mark, after Colombian goalkeeper-Paula Forero failed to handle a long pass into her goal area.

In the decided final at Bielefeld’s Schuco Arena, Germany proved to be a handful for the young Nigerians who were overwhelmed by the occasion. They won the match 2-0 and the Nigerians settled for a well deserved silver medal.
