<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nigeria’s goalkeeper <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Vincent Enyeama</span> as well as the <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Super Eagles</span> may be out of the <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">2014 World Cup</span> tournament, but he clearly still rocks.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">The Guardian Sports</span> listed the top 10 goalkeepers in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup. Leading at number 1 is <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Manuel Neuer</span> of Germany, while Enyeama ranks 4th.</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another goalkeeper who arrived after a record-breaking season at club level.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Enyeama carried on the form that made him nigh-on unbeatable for Lille, pulling off a series of extraordinary saves, starting in the first match against Iran, when Nigeria dominated but would have lost if the goalkeeper had not kept enough concentration to tip away a header from Reza Ghoochannejhad.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He then kept Bosnia-Herzegovina at bay before thwarting Lionel Messi and Argentina for long periods despite conceding three. When a goalkeeper falls below perfection, however, he can be punished severely and Enyeama’s mishandling of a cross against France enabled Paul Pogba to score the winning goal and ruined another otherwise immaculate performance.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">The nurse who filmed Brazilian striker Neyma being wheeled around on a hospital trolley has been fired, according to an article on Brazilan football site UOL.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">The nurse has been criticized for not only recording the football star in that state but also for blowing kisses to the camera afterwards and laughing. She then posted the video to her Facebook page. Personally, I don't see how this is a big deal but the hospital management released a statement saying the nurse, named Chintia, has been fired.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Nigerian national team and Fenerbahce striker Emmanuel Emenike aka 'the bull' has revealed his dream of playing in the English premier league but now it seems his dream will come to pass sooner than he thought. Turkish newspaper Fanatik reports that Blues manager Jose Mourinho is a big fan of the forward, and decided to slap in the offer this week after watching him at the World Cup in Brazil.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Emenike has helped the Nigeria team reach the knockout stages of the tournament, on the back of an excellent season at Fenerbahce, where he scored 12 goals and picked up nine assists. The 27-year-old only moved to Turkey last summer from Spartak Moscow in a £10million deal, but Fenerbahce are happy to make a quick profit on him. Nigeria v Bosnia-Herzegovina: Group F - 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Emenike is currently at the World Cup in Brazil Emenike admitted recently he is desperate to move to the Premier League in the future, and a transfer could now be concluded quickly. </span></span></div>

BBC Sport has learned the problem lies in the interpretation of the bonus structure, with the players believing they will only receive $10,000 for their win 1-0 over Bosnia-Hercegovina and $5,000 for the 0-0 draw with Iran.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The players' understanding was they would receive a $30,000 payment for qualifying from the group.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
However, it is believed the Nigerian Football Federation's offer to the players includes the agreed win and draw bonuses plus 30% of the prize money due from Fifa for reaching the knockout stage.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This is understood to rise to 40% of the prize money from Fifa if Nigeria were to win their round of 16 match, 50% for a quarter-final victory, 60% for a win in the semi-final stage and 70% for lifting the trophy.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
While all parties work to find a resolution to the misunderstanding, coach Stephen Keshi has insisted it will not affect the team's performance.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
And it has been confirmed to the BBC that the players will travel to Brasilia on Friday as scheduled and will train in the evening and over the weekend.</blockquote>

Nigeria To Unveil New World Cup Jersey

World football governing body, FIFA have made up their minds to name a
track by Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez as the official anthem for the 2014 World
Cup in Brazil.<br />

We Are One (Ole Ola), which also features Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte,
will be performed at the opening ceremony at the Arena de Sao Paulo on 12 June.<br />

The track will be released later this year in the lead up to the World Cup.
It will also be included on the upcoming Official 2014 FIFA World Cup Album. <br />

<em><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">It’s official

truly believe that this great game and the power of music will help unify us,
because we are best when we are one.” </span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">“I grew up in
a house that loved football, so I am thrilled to be performing at the World Cup
Opening Ceremonies with Pitbull and Claudia Leitte,”</span></em> said Jennifer
Lopez. <em><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">“This is
