WorldCup, Russia 2018 Germany World Cup exit, Matthaus blasts Bayern Munich Stars

Germany great Lothar Matthaus blast Bayern Munich players in Joachim Low's squad after their 2018 FIFA World Cup early exit.

The Die Mannschaft failed to defend their title they won four years ago in Brazil with an early group stage exit from this summer Mundial in Russia after two losses against Mexico and South Korea.

However, this will be the first time since 1938 Germany failed to go beyond the first round at the showpiece tournament.

The 57-year-old Matthaus was a part of 1990 World Cup winner was angry with the performance of Bayern Munich trio Jerome Boateng, Thomas Muller and Mats Hummels.

He said via Goal: "The team has got leaders but the leaders were preoccupied with themselves.

"I am thinking in particular of the Bayern Munich players – Boateng, Hummels, [Manuel] Neuer, Muller. Apart from Manuel, I believe that nobody can be happy with his performance.

"A [Champions League] semi-final loss against Real Madrid, a [DFB-Pokal] final defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt."

Despite being contracted until 2022, Low's future at the helm of Germany remains uncertain.

While Matthaus praised the 58-year-old, the 150-time international said Low got it wrong with his squad selection.

"I am a fan of his. In the last 12 or 14 years he has characterised the German football and Germany," he said.

"He didn't only lead Germany to the World Cup but also they reached the semi-finals in every tournament. There is nothing to reproach him for in all of his past – apart from this current tournament.

"In my opinion, he didn't find the right mix in the team between the Confederations Cup-winning team and the World Cup winners from 2014.

"It was actually a team who didn't have a chance of keeping up physically with the Mexicans and South Koreans, especially their pace."

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr is obviously not happy that his World Cup adventure was short lived by Argentina and he has predicted that the two-time world champions will meet their own Waterloo when they face France in the first Round of 16 ties at the 2018 World Cup.

Rohr is emphatically backing the French National Team to knock out Argentina from the 2018 World Cup when both countries face off at the Kazan Arena, Kazan on Saturday afternoon.

According to the Eagles' gaffer, France's pacy offensive players, Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé and Antoine Griezmann will give the Argentinians a tough time on the pitch.

''France is stronger, more clam. She will win, it will be tight but with a goal in advance.'' Rohr said in an interview with French sports newspaper L'Equipe. 

He added ''The speed of the French attackers will pose a lot of problems to the Argentine defenders.

''And Didier also managed to strengthen his defense. It was the big job before the start of the World Cup and it became a big defense.''

Argentina secured a dramatic passage to the last sixteen after they edged Nigeria 2-1 in their final group match on Tuesday, with Marcos Rojo netting the winner on 86 minutes after Victor Moses had canceled out the earlier lead give to Argentina by Lionel Messi.

UPDATE! Magic Johnson Revealed Son EJ’s Cross-Dressing Lifestyle Appeared Early

NBA legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson Jr. says signs of his youngest son EJ Johnson’s cross-dressing appeared early. Magic, 58, discussed his son’s homosexuality and flamboyant style during an episode of Fox News series
OBJECTified.

A teaser clip shows Magic discussing his son’s cross-dressing lifestyle with TMZ founder Harvey Levin.

Magic confirmed his son wore Disney Princess dresses as early as preschool. Little EJ spent most of his childhood with his mother (Magic was often on the road playing basketball).

“It was difficult in the beginning because I thought he would play sports and do the things that I did — like his dad,” said Magic.
“And then to see him in dresses but also wigs [nervous laugh]… So I said ‘Okay, is this is who he is or something he plays, plays… dress up.'”

In a previous interview, Cookie Johnson said Magic broke down and cried when his son officially came out as gay to him. It was one thing for EJ to play dress up in his mother’s clothing, but Magic apparently had a difficult time accepting his son’s homosexuality.
Many parents confuse cross-dressing with homosexuality.

Statistics show that most cross-dressing boys grow up to be heterosexual men, many of whom are married or in committed relationships with women.
Magic and Cookie share adopted daughter Elisa Johnson, 23. He also has a son, Andre Johnson, 37, from a previous relationship.
The episode airs Sunday, July 1, on the Fox News Channel. Check your local listings.

Canadian Rapper, Drake appreciate Wizkid and Tekno for inspiring his new album ‘Scorpion’

We reported earlier today that Canadian rapper,Drake, released his new album ‘Scorpion’ today and guess artistes who inspired him? Wizkid and Tekno.

Shortly after his album was released, Drake took to his Insta-story to share Tekno’s Jogodo & Wizkid’s Soco cover, alongside that of other artistes who inspired him. Here are they below;In the lead-up to Scorpion, Drake’s just-released double-sided album, there was much speculation aboutthe meaning behind the title.

The clues led to… astrology (Drake is a Scorpion). But the title also suggested that Drake, who’d been embroiled in a fiery beefwith Pusha-T, was prepared to sting. Now that the album is here, though, it seems that, above all, Drizzy was inspired by a scorpion’s color palette: The albumis shades of grey, making it feel like a spiritual sequel to 2016’s Views.

It is slow Drake, moody Drake, minimalist Drake. For the most part, the musicblends in with its surroundings—which is to say, it fades into the background, becoming a petty and self-serious sort of white noise.The album is Drake’s first project since 2017’s More Life, whichhe billed as a playlist.

It’s his first album since 2016’s commercially successful but critically panned Views. The difference between an album and a mixtape or playlist is unclear, but it’s a distinction Drake takes pains to make.On his Mariah Carey-sampling song “Emotionless,” Drake addresses Pusha-T’s “Story of Adidon” accusations of Drake fathering and hiding a child. “I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid,” he raps. He continues: “Breaking news in my life I don’t run to the blogs/the only ones I want to tell are in my phone I can call/They always ask, ‘Why let it run if it’s false’/You know a wise man once said nothing at all.

”He more directly addresses that he’s a father on the album’s final track, “March 14”:Yesterday morning was crazy, I had to come to terms with the fact that it’s not a maybeThat shit is in stone, sealed and signedShe not my lover like Billie Jean, but the kidis mineSandy used to tell me all it takes is one time,and all it took was one timeShit, we only met two times, two times! And both times were nothing like the new timesNow it’s rough timesI’m out here on frontlines, trying to make sure that I see him sometimes It’s breaking my spirit Single father, I hate when I hear itI used to challenge my parents on every albumNow I’m embarrassedto tell ’em I ended up as a co-parentAlways promised the family unitI wanted it to be different because I been through it, but this is the harsh truth now.

Now you know! Chris Brown and Girlfriend Claim Each Other On Instagram

Chris Brown and his rumored girlfriend Ammika Harris made it official on Instagram.com today. The “Loyal” rapper ‘liked’ one of Ammika’s photos , along with the caption “Mines” , to which she replied “yours ONLY!” .

That confirmation was good enough for Breezy’s fans who linked Ammika to the troubled rapper as far back as 2015. Ammika is a Blasian Instagram model.

Social media users swear Chris is still in love with ex-girlfriends Karrueche Tran or Rihanna — and that he is simply using Ammika as a placeholder.

Chris has a history of domestic abuse that has landed him in legal trouble in the past. Hopefully Ammika took a self-defense course, or she at least owns a weapon.

The baby rumor was never confirmed. We know at last one track takes a jab at Pu$ha T’s boss, Kanye West.
“fashion week was more your thing than mine” he raps in an obvious reference to Kanye’s fashionista style.

Democrats Meltdown After Justice Kennedy Announced Retirement from Supreme Court

Liberal heads exploded on Wednesday when the news broke that Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced is retirement after 30 years, effective July 31.

Kennedy, 81, was appointed to the Supreme Court by former President Ronald Reagan in 1987. He was sworn in a year later.

Chaos erupted on social media late Wednesday as news of Kennedy’s retirement circulated online. Ridiculous conspiracy theories quickly spread via social media. There was talk of Trump ending abortions and liberals being marched off to death camps.

By Wednesday night some Democrats and liberals were on suicide watch. Unhinged Comedy Central “comedian” Curtis Cook wished death upon Kennedy for simply retiring. “I wish Kennedy had been shot instead of the other ones,” he tweeted. As of Wednesday night, the tweet was still up.

President Trump immediately announced he would pick Kennedy’s successor “within weeks” from a list of 25 pre-vetted nominees.
Outraged Democrats promised an epic confirmation battle after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced, “We will vote to confirm Justice Kennedy’s successor this fall.”

The front-runner nominee is Chicago appeals court judge and mother-of-7 Amy Coney Barrett, 46. Trump added her name to the list just a few months ago.

If she is picked she will be Trump’s 2nd SCOTUS nominee since his election. He appointed Neil Gorsuch to the bench in 2017. Kennedy, a moderate, was the key swing vote in many landmark cases, including Roe vs. Wade and gay marriage, and union dues for non-union members. He also voted to uphold Trump’s travel ban this week.

At a standing-room-only campaign rally in Fargo, North Dakota Wednesday night, an ecstatic President Trump thanked Kennedy for visiting him at the White House to personally deliver his retirement letter earlier in the day.

“I’m very honored he chose to do it during my term in office, because he felt confident in me to make the right choice and carry on his great legacy,” Trump said.
With 3 current Supreme Court justices in their 80s, Trump has 3 potential SCOTUS picks.
The president stressed to ND voters the importance of electing Republican Senate candidate Kevin Cramer to maintain a majority Republican Senate who will confirm his SCOTUS nominees.
“The travel ban ruling underscores just how critical it is to confirm judges who will support our great Constitution,” he said Wednesday.

On MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Wednesday, Senator Kamala Harris said Democrats were ready to “play hardball” to protect gay marriage and the Constitution from Trump’s New SCOTUS pick. She said her colleagues were prepared to do serious battle with Trump to delay the nomination until after the midterms. “We will not relent.”

Joe Jackson is being remembered by his children and grandchildren on social media. The 89-year-old Jackson family patriarch lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on Wednesday.

“Disgusted by some of the comments I’m reading about my grandpa Joe by those who didn’t even know him,” Taj fired back.“Please don’t just regurgitate what you were spoon fed by the press. Joe was loved by our ENTIRE family and our hearts are in pain. Let us grieve without the nastiness.”

Joe was also remembered by the co-executors of Michael Jackson’s estate, John McClain and John Branca.

“We are deeply saddened by Mr. Jackson’s passing and extend our heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Katherine Jackson (Joe’s estranged wife) and the family,” reads a statement issued to Us Weekly by a representative for the pair.

Ighalo missed a few chances to score goals that could have secureda win for the Nigerian team.In a chat withTheCable, Ighalo said he takes full responsibility for theloss of the match and has already apologised to his teammates. 

He said;“I apologise to Nigeria. I apologise tomy team mates. I takeresponsibility for this game because I had taken those chances Ihad that would have made it a different ball game now.

But that is football and life has to continue.”“It’s a sad day for me, the boys and the country because we went out in a bad manner and we deserved more in the gam. We had a penalty in the game and another one which the referee did not give.

I missed a couple of chances that would have finished the game but that’s football because sometimes you win and sometimes to lose.

”Argentina defeated Nigeria 2-1 in the final group D fixture with a late goal from Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo deciding the fixture.

Turkish referee, Cuneyt Cakin - I don’t know why I didn’t award penalty to Nigeria

According to Super Eagles captain,John Mikel Obi, when he asked the Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakin why he did not award the penalty for the handball of Argentine defender, Marcus Rojo, the referee replied saying he didn’t know.

Mikel said the referee admitted that the ball touched the hand of Marcos Rojo in the 82nd minute of Tuesday’s game but he put up a defense in not awardingthe crucial spot-kick.The penalty, if awarded and scored at a time the match was 1-1, could have wrapped up a second round ticket for the Eagles.

Speaking at the post-match briefing in St Petersburg, Mikel said:“I asked the referee if he thought the ball struck Rojo’s hand and He said ‘yes;. The referee told me that the ball came off Rojo’s head before it hit his hand.”Mikel added:”I then asked Cakur why he didn’t award the penalty to Nigeria,he said: ‘I don’t know.’

That was sad because we checked the match video in thedressing room and it was a clear penalty kick.“When the ball touches your hand in the penalty box, it’s a penalty. No two ways about that. Maybe he didn’t want to give us the second penalty. It is sad we had to exit the competition this way.Speaking about his future with the national team, Mikel said he would be most delighted to lead the boys going further into the future.
I’m happy playing with this bunch of players. I expect themto grow into a great side and I think this team would make a good impression in the next four years.

Rapper, Meek Mill Headed Back to Prison; Judge Denies Request for New Trial

Rapper Meek Mill lost his bid for a new trial on Tuesday. The troubled rapper went before his arch nemesis Judge Genece Brinkley in a Philadelphia courtroom on Tuesday.

The judge denied his request for a new trial stemming from his 2007 arrest on gun charges. Judge Brinkley cited the reason behind her decision:

“After an in-depth review of the record, court history, notes of testimony, and evidence submitted at the evidentiary hearing, this court hereby denies defendant’s petition for PCRA relief as defendant failed to meet his burden of proof.”

Brinkley originally sentenced Mill to 2-4 years in prison for violating his probation in 2017.
But after a swell of public protests and support from fellow rappers and corporate leaders, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned Judge Brinkley’s sentence in April.
Mill served 5 months of his sentence before he was freed pending today’s hearing.

The judge’s new decision means Mill will be back behind bars. His lawyers plan to appeal the judge’s decision.

“We are not at all surprised by Judge Brinkley‘s decision today. Despite the agreement of the District Attorney’s office on the need for a new trial, and the granting of new trials to other identically situated defendants, Judge Brinkley made clear during the hearing on June 18th that she had already decided the matter,” Mill’s attorney Joe Tacopina told USA TODAY .

Since his much-publicized release from prison in April, Meek has not done much in the way of advocating for prison reform like he promised he would.

He was scheduled to meet with President Trump in May, but he backed out of the visit after receiving a phone call from rapper JAY-Z on behalf of former President Barack Obama.

NBA MVP Award - Jams Harden Wins 2017-18 NBA Most Valuable Player Award

As expected, Houston Rockets star guard James Harden , center, was named the NBA’s most valuable player for the 2017-18 season.

Harden narrowly edged out Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James for his first ever MVP award.
Harden becomes the third Rockets player to ever win MVP, joining NBA greats Hakeem Olajuwon and Moses Malone. Harden averaged 30 points per game and led his team to the Western Conference Finals of the NBA Playoffs.

Harden, 28, posed with his mom
Monja Willis (R) and his family in the backstage photo room during the 2018 NBA Awards, which was held Monday, June 25, at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.
“I felt like I should have won last year too,” Harden said after the awards show. “I didn’t see a difference between this year and last year.”

Harden played all 82 games of the season — as did LeBron James.
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons , 21, took home the Rookie of the Year award and Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo , 26, was the league’s Most Improved Player.

Not only is he a big, beefy hulk of a man, he's also one of the sweetest, most genial celebs around.

In his Congressional testimony about the Survivors Bill Of Rights, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine star says Avi Lerner called his manager and threatened to fire him from the upcoming sequel if he didn't drop his suit.

Crews told Congress the threat was enough for him to pull out of the franchise. He also pointed out that Lerner's company, Millennium Films , is also under investigation.

He said:
"Abusers protect abusers — and this is one thing I had to decide, whether I was going to draw the line on."

A special prayer was said and also sent out to Mr Joe Jackson from everyone!Artist Ken Matthews aka Brayden Bugazzi, created the most magnificent painting ofMichael Jackson, listing all of the originaldesigners and artisans (so they will not be forgotten), that helped create the original Jackson costumes, including the late Bill Whitten, Stella Ruata, Fabrizio, Gresia, Andre, Warren R. Caton, Enid Jackson (Jackie Jackson’s ex-wife), Steven Loomis. Maggie, Ted Shell, and Bon Choix Gerard.Also, one original [Swarovski] lochrosen crystal (from the 1980’s) was mounted inside the fingertip.

The most memorable part of the night was seeing the performers — one 4 years old — and some of modest means, humble beginnings and with special needs, performing. It was so awesome to see them come together from around the world for this special event!"

Gist - Madonna Deletes Beyonce and JAY-Z ‘Master’ IG Photo

Last week, Madonna taunted Beyonce and JAY-Z by posting a Photoshopped image of the American power couple staring at a collection of her classic and semi-classic albums on a wall at the revered Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

Madonna captioned the image:
“Learning from the Master.”
Beyonce and JAY-Z spent a small fortune shooting their music video
“Apesh*t” inside the Louvre.
The couple was relentlessly criticized for disturbing the Louvre’s collection of art classics to shoot their music video.

Madonna, 59, couldn’t resist piling on and taunting the narcissistic couple with an intentional, but hilarious jab. Unfortunately, Beyonce’s FLEAhive didn’t get the joke.

Beyonce’s FLEAhive, like most snowflakes, can’t accept the truth. They swarmed Madonna’s comments, which she eventually turned off before deleting the image.
Never one to back down from a fight, Madonna re-posted the image with a new caption: “Learning…. Lol.”

Philippines President Calls God ‘stupid’ - Rodrigo Duterte

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte courted controversy after he called God “stupid” for the concept of “original sin” in the Bible’s creation story, news portal Rappler reports.

Addressing a summit in Davao City on Friday, Duterete, an open critic of the Catholic Church, said that he had issues with the Bible and questioned God’s logic,calling him “stupid.”“Adam ate it then malice was born. Who isthis stupid God? Istupido talaga itong putangina kung ganoon (That son of a b**** is stupid if that’s the case),” he said, reported Rappler. “You created somethingperfect and then you think of an event thatwould tempt and destroy the quality of your work,” he added.

Talking about his interpretation of the concept of “original sin,” the president said, “That was your mother and father’s deed – you weren’t born yet, but now you have original sin. What kind of religion is that? I can’t accept it.

”Asserting that he is a spiritual man who does not believe in any religion, Duterte added, “I believe there is a universal mind, but… I cannot picture him as a human being. But I really believe, I have this faith and abiding thing, but don’t believe in religion.”  He made similar remarks earlier this month during a meeting with the Filipino community in South Korea. “If that’s the Catholic God, that’s a lie. Seek God right,” he said.This was, however, not the first time that Duterte has been critical of the Catholic faith, despite the Philippines being a Catholic-majority country.

Earlier, he slammed the priests for portraying his government in a negative light. In 2016, the Philippines president had created a row after he calledPope Francis a “son of a bitch” after his visit to Manila resulted in severe traffic jams. He later apologised to the Vatican for his remarks.
