" It’s a big game for us to come back to." 🎙 Martin Odegaard looks back at the break and ahead to West Ham in his captain's notes 👇 Ahead of tonight's game against West Ham United, you can read a snippet of his latest column which includes how he found the World Cup break, and his thoughts on Gabriel Jesus' injury: After a break of nearly two months, we’re so happy to finally be back at the Emirates in the Premier League. I have to say I think the past few weeks have been really good for us, we’ve had the chance to recover, to rest and then to start working again really hard and to refocus our minds on the second part of the season.  For me personally, I’ve been able to do a lot in these last six weeks or so. First of all, straight after the Wolves game, I joined up with my national team for a couple of friendly games, and then I had a week off. It was a bit tough for us guys who stayed at home to watch the others at the World Cup. That was difficult...

SPORTS GIST: FIFA Men's Ranking Explained, Why Agentina Isn't Rated No 1

Image
FIFA Rankings Explained: The latest FIFA rankings have been released following the 2022 World Cup and there are some big changes as teams surge up and down the list. Cameroon gained 28.86 points to move up 10 places, Argentina gained 64.5 to move to 2nd while Brazil lost only 0.53 points to stay 1st.  Summarily, teams gain and lose points in the rankings based on clearcut parameters. The calibre of opponent faced is a key criterion. This explains why Cameroon's lone win against Brazil enabled the Indomitable Lions move from 43rd to 33rd. If Cameroon's lone win had come against a lowly ranked side, Cameroon would not have gained as many points. WHY ARGENTINA COULD NOT AMASS ENOUGH FIFA rules also indicate that a win inside regular time counts more than a win in extra time or penalties. Note that Argentina won two of their games on penalties.  Also, FIFA stipulates that just like a win against a highly ranked side yields many points, a loss against a lowly ranked sid...

SPORTS GIST: Georgina Speaks, Ronaldo the Real GOAT

Image
I saw a lot of people attacking Cristiano Ronaldo after Messi won And here I wonder .! Why is Messi better than Ronaldo and with  evidence??🧐 Ronaldo preferred to offer the European Golden Shoe, which he won in 2011, for sale in favor of charity, and the shoe was sold at a charity auction for a huge amount of $ 1.6 million, and he donated it to build a number of schools in Gaza. Ronaldo said that he respects Islam very much and certainly believes that what some foreign media outlets report about Islam and Muslims is incorrect and misleading to reality. In 2016, he recorded a message to children affected by the Syrian conflict, calling them "real heroes" and saying, "I am with you." He also made a confidential donation, which he asked Save the Children not to disclose. Ronaldo is keen to donate blood regularly, and has participated in many campaigns to encourage others to do the same, and this is the secret of not drawing any tattoos on his body. Before ...
