England-born defender Gabriel Osho has confirmed that his parents were born in Lagos, Nigeria. The footballer, who has pledged his international future to Nigeria over England, arrived in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, on Monday ahead of a potential cap-tying match for the three-time African champions.

Osho, who was born and raised in Reading, England, is eligible to represent Nigeria through his Lagos-born father and mother. Despite holding dual nationality, he has opted to prioritize playing for the Super Eagles over the England national team.

Osho received his first call-up to the Super Eagles in March 2024 after impressing with Luton Town in the Premier League.

Speaking to the Super Eagles media team ahead of Nigeria’s AFCON qualifier against Benin Republic, Osho said, “My name is Gabriel Osho, defender for Auxerre and the Super Eagles. Both my parents were born in Lagos, and I’m happy to be here.”

EPL: “It’s like a knife” – Rodri names his most challenging opponent

Published

on

By

Ballon d’Or winner Rodri has named Mohamed Salah of Liverpool as his toughest opponent in the Premier League. The Manchester City midfielder compared the Egyptian forward to Lionel Messi, calling Salah his most formidable rival in English football.

Rodri, who made history as the first Spanish Ballon d’Or winner since Luis Suarez in 1960, was reflecting on his career when he drew the comparison. Messi, widely considered one of the greatest players in football history, has long been a benchmark for excellence.

In an interview with *The Mirror* on Wednesday, November 13, Rodri spoke about facing these two giants. When asked by a Spanish reporter about the most challenging player he’s come up against, the Euro 2024 champion said, “I’d say Leo (Messi), and in the Premier League, Salah at his best. Going to Anfield is like a knife; it’s really tough.”

Ballon d’Or: C. Ronaldo, L. Messi didn’t congratulate me – Rodri

Published

on

By

Manchester City midfielder, Rodri, has said neither Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Karim Benzema, congratulated him following his Ballon d’Or triumph.

Rodri also said that Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric, who is also a former winner of the gong, did not congratulate him.

Rodri secured the 2024 Ballon d’Or at the Théâtre du Châtelet on October 28. He won the trophy ahead of Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Jr.

Rodri claimed that none of the recent Ballon d’Or winners came forward to congratulate him.

The list included Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo – the two most decorated Ballon d’Or winners of the generation.

Messi and Ronaldo established an uncontested duopoly over the award during their primes, winning it 13 times between them.

While Messi has eight Ballons d’Or, Ronaldo has five.

In a recent interview with Diario AS (via @MadridXtra on X), Rodri said, “Messages from previous Ballon d’Or winners? Let me check… There are none from Messi, Cristiano, Modrić or Benzema (laughs).”

Suspended Premier League referee David Coote was reportedly caught on video snorting a white substance during Euro 2024.

Published

on

By

A video has surfaced allegedly showing suspended Premier League referee David Coote snorting a white substance in a hotel room during last summer’s Euro 2024 tournament.

The eight-second clip, which leaked on Wednesday night, reportedly shows Coote using a rolled-up banknote to inhale the powder.

Coote is currently suspended by the referees’ body, PGMOL, following a separate incident where a video surfaced of him making derogatory remarks about Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp. He was also removed from officiating European matches by UEFA.

The newly leaked video is believed to have been recorded on July 6, the day after the Euro 2024 quarter-final between Portugal and France, where Coote served as a support VAR official, with Michael Oliver as the main referee. It was allegedly filmed in a hotel room funded by UEFA.

UEFA addressed Coote’s previous conduct, stating: “The UEFA Referees Committee immediately suspended David Coote on November 11 upon learning of his inappropriate behavior.”

A PGMOL spokesperson added: “We are aware of the allegations and are treating them with the utmost seriousness. David Coote remains suspended pending a full investigation. His well-being remains a priority, and we are providing him with necessary support during this time. We have no further comment at this stage.”
