Messi gets court date over tax fraud allegations

Barcelona star Lionel Messi and his father Jorge have been summoned to appear in court on September 17 in order to provide evidence against recent tax fraud allegations. A complaint, signed by prosecutor Raquel Amado, was filed with the courthouse in the Gava district of Barcelona last week and it has now been decided that there is enough evidence to summon the Argentine. The Spanish tax authorities claim that the prolific attacker and his father have avoided paying the charges due from sales of the 25-year-old's image rights by operating through companies based outside of the country, totalling over €4 million between 2006 and 2009. Messi stressed last week that he is innocent and unaware of committing any infringements. "We have learned through the media about the claim filed by the Spanish tax authorities. We are surprised about this news, because we have not committed any infringement," a statement from the 25-year-old read. "We have always fulfilled all of our tax obligations, following the advice of our tax consultants, who will take care of clarifying this situation." The attacker's fiscal and legal advisor Angel Juarez, meanwhile, insisted that they had not heard anything yet when the news broke last week, while adding that they were ready for any legal battle. "Neither we nor our client have received any notification from the prosecutor in relation to what has been reported," a statement signed by Juarez read. "As his legal and fiscal council, we will take all the appropriate legal action against the complaint of the prosecutor and we are confident that justice will prevail." Messi's camp is yet to react to the latest developments. Under Spanish law, Messi could face a maximum penalty of six years in prison if found guilty.

Nigeria and Ureguay has finally ended 2 is to 1 in favour of Ureguary

The Match between Nigeria and Ureguay has finally ended 2 is to 1 in favour of Ureguary and here is the match analysis.

 At the opening momen Vincent Enyeama Fired a goal kick straight at Suarez to put his team on the back foot in the opening moments, but was blameless for the two goals which put Uruguay in the ascendancy.

Godfrey Oboabona Tough and strong at the back, but his mobility was sometimes lacking up against Uruguay’s quick-thinking forwards. Also kept Cavani onside for a chance that should have seen the South American champs go 3-1 up. 

Uwa Elderson Echiejile Made good territory down the left flank and also showed decent strength to hold off Pereira as he attacked at the other end. Could have had a greater say in the second half, but remained wary of Suarez’s threat down the right. 

E. Ambrose Did superbly to chase down a lost cause of a ball which won Nigeria a throw-in, but within minutes was being tortured by Suarez at the other end. Failed to press close enough at times as the wide men made hay. 

Kenneth Omeruo Enjoyed quite a tussle at times with Cavani, and showed no ill effects from the knock just before half-time which saw him complete the game with his head strapped. Found it difficult to unite the Nigeria defence as a unit as they looked to deal with Suarez and Forlan, but did well to deny Cavani in injury time.

 John Ogochukwu Ogu Almost got on the end of a cross-field pass early in the second half but his desperate slide came just too late. Sometimes lost out due to the inability to think quickly in tight situations and was replaced on 65 minutes by Mba. 

John Obi Mikel Played a wonderful angled pass for Oduamadi which may have led to a goal on another night, then fired home superbly after foxing Lugano with great skill to shift the ball onto his left foot. Continued in his attempts to dictate the game thereafter, but found it difficult to penetrate Uruguay’s organised midfield.

 Fegor Ogude Showed his naive side with an early foul on Suarez which put Nigeria in a good position to attack, but also regenerated possession well when breaking up Uruguay attacks and rarely lost the ball. Nnamdi Oduamadi Could have done better when teed up by Mikel early on, and failed to deliver the same level of threat he managed against Tahiti before being replaced before half-time by Babatunde after suffering a knock 

Ahmed Musa Hit a strong effort towards goal from a first-half free kick which had Muslera scrambling to block, but his overall impact was nowhere near as key as in the clash with Tahiti and he was often wasteful in possession. 

B. Ideye Disappointed the majority of the crowd with a poor shot from a free kick 20 yards from goal, then saw an acrobatic over-head effort fail to trouble Muslera. Turned superbly in the box only to be foiled by Maxi Pereira as he looked for a leveller. Replaced by Akpala with 17 minutes to go.

Nigeria relaxed and confident ahead of clash against Uruguay

Nigeria arrived in Salvador, Bahia two days before their clash against Uruguay at Estadio Pituacu. The African champions held their first training inside the arena on Tuesday as they prepare to play against the champions of South America in Thursday’s match. The Super Eagles defeated Tahiti 6-1 to stay top of Group B on goals difference ahead of world and European champions Spain. Gone was the troubled start to the tournament that ensured the team arrived hours to their opening game due to a bonus row. "We're ready. Of course we have had our issues. But that is not who we are. What we want to do is play football. I am proud of my players for the way they overcame tiredness, jetlag and everything else to get three points and those goals against Tahiti,” coach Stephen Keshi told KickOffNigeria.com. "Now we have tried to get them as much rest as possible and we just want them to have fun on Thursday. "We know a little more about Uruguay. So we can plan a little better, but we will not be preparing much different from the way we normally do. "We have our own methods, our own tactics and our own way of playing, and that is what we plan to do." Both nations have never met at senior level and it promises to be an exciting encounter on Thursday in Salvador. The match will start 11pm (West African Time).

Neymar's best ever Brazil performance

Brazil have Neymar to thank for their progression to the Confederations Cup semi-finals as the new Barcelona signing disguised a dour team performance by providing his most impressive display to date for the Selecao. Despite a record of 138 goals in 230 games for Santos, the 21-year-old remains a player who divides opinion. Having had his name mentioned alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, he was adjudged to have not adequately displayed the ability to warrant such comparisons when in the global eye. Doubts over how good he could become had, perhaps justifiably, arisen.
