Luis Suarez should be banned for the rest of the World Cup after appearing to bite Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini

Luis Suarez should not be allowed to kick another ball in this World Cup tournament.

Referee Marco Rodriguez clearly missed the coming together of Suarez and Italian Giorgio Chiellini and replays are clear enough to me for the Uruguayan to be charged by FIFA's disciplinary panel.

FIFA do not consult referees with regard to charging players retrospectively as they accept that if no action is taken the officials have missed the incident.

Fake Glo Agent Arrested In Gombe

A Justice of the Federal High Court, Gombe, today sentenced one Khalil Ahmed Bappa, 29, who claims to be a GLO agent to 24 months imprisonment for fraudulently extorting goods and money worth N267, 000 from a female student of Bayero University, Kano, Yusra Ali Babakusa, with assurances of making her a Glo Ambassador.

Khalil met Yusra in 2012 and promised he would make her a Glo ambassador through his contacts at the communications company, but trouble started when Khalil gave Yusra a said date to get ready for Lagos. He told her, her name had been selected and they will both need to head for Glo’s Lagos headquarters office. He also told her the company had made arrangements for her accommodation and will also be paying for her return flight ticket.

When the day came, Yusra kept calling him, but Khalil refused to pick his calls and later switched off his phone. That was when she sensed she was in trouble and she must have been duped. She later reported to the police who tracked Khalil down and charged him to court.

He was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment without an option of fine on each of the two counts. The court also ordered the convict to reimburse his victim before the completion of his jail term.

Senator Claire McCaskill Dr. Oz Attack Was Personal

Spain 0-2 Chile: Holders dumped out of the 2014 World Cup as another sloppy Iker Casillas display allows Eduardo Vargas and Charles Aranguiz to score

The world champions are out. History. Kaput. Spain are gone. Tied first in departing this tournament, with Australia. Not in body, because there is still the matter of a meaningless final group game in Curitiba on Monday, but mathematically and in spirit. They trooped off the pitch in the Maracana Stadium last night, heads bowed, all resistance spent. After two games they have no points and a goal difference that reads 1-7. This truly is a seismic development for football.

It is the worst defence of a World Cup title in history, poorer even than Italy in South Africa four years ago. They, too, exited at the group stage, but at least their final game was live. Spain now travel Brazil a redundant embarrassment. Nobody wants to be one of those teams, the dead rubberers, fulfilling a fixture list simply because they must.
This will be the game that many say marks the end of the era of tiki-taka, too, but with that is raised a more existential question. Was there ever any such thing? Did tiki-taka create a great Spanish team, or was it merely itself the invention of 11 outstanding players.

Sad One! Riot at Bowen University Iwo last night

There was riot at Bowen University Iwo in Osun State last night. I really don't have all the details but according to what some students told me, the riot was over what they say is lack of basic amenities like water and light as well as what they term 'unnecessary rules & regulations' being made by school management, plus plans to increase their school fees.

"Bowenites live by rules, sleep by rules, and eat by rules, but not anymore" one student said

Bowen University is a private university owned and operated by the Nigerian Baptist Convention
