Nigeria beats Argentina 4 - 2 in friendlies

By -


Alex Iwobi scored twice as Nigeria fought back from 2-0 down against an Argentina side missing Lionel Messi to secure a stunning 4-2 friendly victory in Krasnodar.

Sergio Aguero scored his 36th international goal to move clear in third place on Argentina's all-time scoring list as Jorge Sampaoli's side looked set to prosper despite the absence of Messi, who had returned to Barcelona after featuring in the 1-0 win over Russia on Saturday.

Having drawn level with Hernan Crespo by scoring a late winner against the Russians, Aguero followed up his first international goal since June 2016 by tapping home Argentina's second to back up Ever Banega's free-kick opener.

Yet their comfortable cushion evaporated either side of the interval, with Kelechi Iheanacho inspiring a Nigeria fightback with a free-kick of his own in the closing stages of the first half.

Two goals in the space of three second-half minutes from Iwobi and Bryan Idowu swung the game further away from Argentina, with the former then slotting home a fourth to secure Nigeria just their second ever win over their South American opponents.

According to the  Express , by George Simpson AVENGERS INFINITY WAR saw Captain America killed by Thanos, but was brought back with the Time Stone, claims an amazing new theory in the wake of Avengers 4. In the climax of Marvel’s Avengers Infinity War, Thanos arrived in Wakanda ready to pluck the Mind Stone from Vision’s head. During his walk towards him, the Avengers tried to stop Thanos, but he swatted them aside with ease. This included Captain America boldly holding him by the Infinity Gauntlet before received a massive blow to the back of the head. Now a popular new fan theory claims that hit actually killed Steve Rogers, only for Thanos to resurrect him just so he could reform Vision and take the Mind Stone. Thanos ended his short battle with Cap with a punch to the back of the head. “Many wondered how Cap recovered in mere seconds from a punch that even took out the Hulk and the most logical explanation is that he didn’t. “As Thanos used the time stone

Happy New Year Readers. I know some of you might be wondering why I haven't posted anything since the first week of December, oh well I took a break and I'm back with this exclusive review of the Movie July 12th. JULY 12 TH : WHAT LIES IN DEATH? 'Love is a form of pain. It is a drug: it could get you high and watch you fall really low. It can keep you in a limbo and serve you difficult questions on the platter of a quest. It is in those moments when you hunger for the answers that you become someone else, a monster, a human being, or simply a skeptic perhaps worst of all, dead. This is what Inala Felix's July 12 th : The Movie directed by Onome Egba stages in the mind of the viewers but you can never be too sure because in the game of love and mental health, there is not a single stable story as every thought in you asks: what do you believe?

Meek Mill has been sentenced to between two and four years in prison for violating his parole with two arrests, one for fighting and another for reckless driving. According to the Guardian,  the Philadelphia rapper's real name Robert Williams  has been on parole since autumn 2009, following a spell in prison on drugs and weapons charges. In March this year, the 30-year-old was arrested after a fight in St Louis airport and in August he was arrested on a charge of reckless driving.

The rapper – who owns Roc Nation, the company that represents Mill – published a post on Facebook saying “the sentence handed down by the Judge – against the recommendation of the Assistant District Attorney and Probation Officer – is unjust and heavy handed.” On Instagram, comedian Kevin Hart also showed support fo
