Russia has flatly denied bribing a FIFA voter with millions of dollars to support the country's winning World Cup bid. An indictment in the US District Court filed this week gave details of alleged bribes paid to top FIFA officials to vote for Russia and Qatar to the host the football tournaments in 2018 and 2022 respectively. Prosecutors claim that Jack Warner of Trinidad and Tobago received $5 million in bribes to vote for Russia to host in 2018. The money allegedly came from 10 different shell companies including entities in Cyprus and the British Virgin Islands, passing through accounts in the United States. Detailing a new digital money trail, the fresh indictment said payments arrived in Trinidad and Tobago via “densely layered transactions between and among offshore accounts". 'Perfect conspiracy theory' says Moscow But top Russian officials insisted Moscow had no part in bribing officials to win the World Cup hosting vote in December 2010. “Russia received the rights to host the World Cup in an absolutely legal manner,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. “This is not linked in any way to any bribes and we categorically deny it.” “We, the bid committee, had nothing to do with this. ... It looks like a perfect conspiracy theory.” Russia's top soccer official Alexey Sorokin, who led the bid, told the Associated Press. Russia easily won the vote to win the hosting of the 2018 tournament. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was prime minister in 2010, made it a national priority to host soccer’s signature event. Warner was an influential FIFA vice president at the time of Russia’s victory against three rival European bids. Then president of the Northern Central American and Caribbean governing body Concacaf, he was first indicted in 2015 on financial corruption charges that included a separate $10 million bribe from 2010 World Cup host South Africa. The US indictment unsealed in the Brooklyn court also says Guatemala federation president Rafael Salguero was promised a $1 million bribe to vote for Russia, He pleaded guilty in 2018 to charges alleging conspiracy over wire fraud, racketeering and money laundering. Focus on Qatar over 2022 tournament The new details of alleged bribes paid with respect to Qatar's bid to stage the 2022 World Cup could be even more significant, as the tournament has yet to take place and is in the final stages of preparation. The US documents claim that Nicolas Leoz, then president of the South American governing body Conmebol, and former Brazil federation president Ricardo Teixeira, received bribes to vote for Qatar at the 2010 FIFA executive committee meeting. Officials have previously been accused of corruption relating to the Gulf state's bid, but the indictment goes into more detail of the alleged bribery. Specifically, it sets out how three South Americans on FIFA's executive committee -- Leoz, Teixeira and another unnamed official -- are said to have taken multi-million dollar bribes to vote for Qatar, via payments over broadcasting rights. Qatar responded on Tuesday, describing the allegations as groundless and saying they would be "vigorously contested". Despite "years of false accusations", no proof had been established to show that the state won the right to host the World Cup in an illicit manner, it said. FIFA said its executive committee had already imposed sanctions and was closely following the investigations. FIFA's ethics committee found in 2014 that Russia and other candidates, including 2022 World Cup host Qatar, broke some bidding rules but they did not affect the results.

Difference Between Past and Present Lifestyles in Using Equipment and Machinery Past: In the past, our ancestors used to work with small tools that were made out of animal bones or wood. Animals were also used for ploughing, carrying loads, etc. Present: With evolution, people started to use metals to make equipment like knives, and other tools. Now, equipment are made out of several material such as carbon, fiber, and especially plastic to make things used for daily usage. Today we use machines to do the same things with less effort and time. Machinery has made life easier on earth in terms of efficiency. However, weapons can be termed as a negative outcome of the equipment evolution.

McDonald’s came under fire this week after one of its branches in China displayed a sign saying that “black people are not allowed to enter.” In a widely circulated video on Twitter, the sign was put up at a restaurant in Guangzhou, in China’s southern Guangdong province. McDonald’s said in a statement to NBC News that the sign is “not representative of our inclusive values” and was removed. The restaurant has since been temporarily shut down to “further educate managers and employees on our values, which includes serving all members of the communities in which we operate,” McDonald’s said. Racial tensions between Africans and locals in Guangzhou have escalated since Chinese officials recently warned about the rising number of imported coronavirus cases. Despite many reporting having had no recent travel history or no known contact with COVID-19 patients, hundreds of Africans in Guangzhou have been forced to quarantine for 14 days, evicted from their homes, and denied services at restaurants and hotels, local Africans told CNN. Guangzhou is an industrial city that hosts one of the largest African communities in China and serves as an industrial hub for African traders who mainly hold short-term business visas, traveling to China several times a year. African nations and the U.S. have decried the racist treatment of Africans in the city, The Associated Press reported. In an April 11 statement titled “Discrimination Against African-Americans in Guangzhou,” the U.S. Consulate General advised African Americans “to avoid the Guangzhou metropolitan area until further notice.” The chair of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, told AP that he had summoned the Chinese ambassador to the union, Liu Yuxi, to express “extreme concern” over the reports of discrimination. On April 13, the Chinese Embassy in Zimbabwe released a statement on Twitter, saying that Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Faki had a phone call addressing the racist treatment of Africans in China. Wang was committed “to protecting the health and safety of all Chinese and foreign nationals in China and treating them alike,” the statement said. “China is against any differential treatment targeting any specific group of people.”

Why would Graeme Souness care about Paul Pogba? The 66-year-old has participated in many feuds in his long career as a player, manager and pundit. This feels like the most pointless of them all. The knee-jerk explanation is that Souness is a bitter, anachronistic ex-pro taking out his aging frustrations on the Manchester United midfielder. Pogba’s lifestyle, workrate and approach to the game appear to irritate the former Liverpool captain. Yet it is simplistic to blame a ‘it-wasn’t-like-this-in-my-day’ mindset for the criticism. The roots of the antipathy are not just in Souness’s combative nature. They probably go back to his days as a player. He was taught to operate at the highest standards at Anfield and was expected to play a part in maintaining that level of excellence if his team-mates were not up to scratch. High expectations have characterised every step of his career, sometimes to a negative effect. Souness is no hypocrite. The man whose nickname at Liverpool was ‘Champagne Charlie’ is hardly likely to point the finger at anyone for their off-field behaviour. “I was a wee bit flash,” he said, discussing the situation last summer. “The way I dressed and the cars I drove. I learnt at Liverpool there was a time to enjoy yourself, a time to work. “I don’t think Pogba’s lifestyle is a problem.” The Frenchman’s social-media antics are tame in comparison with the way players acted four decades ago. Drink-fuelled binges were regarded as team building exercises. Bob Paisley and his assistants at Liverpool encouraged a boozing culture. The backroom staff took a vicarious pleasure in the players’ sometimes riotous activities but would erupt in a rage if it emerged that any of the squad had dared to participate in a round of golf. Alcohol was acceptable but an afternoon on the links was believed by Bill Shankly to cause injuries and tiredness. The Scot’s successors continued the anti-golf policy while encouraging roistering. Pogba’s downtime is tame when contrasted with Champagne Charlie’s regular excursions into Merseyside’s nightlife. Only one thing mattered for Liverpool. “Everyone turned up for work,” Souness said. Hangovers were never a problem at Melwood as long as players put in the effort. “It was self-governing,” he continued. “We were treated like men and expected to act like men. The staff knew everything we were up to but didn’t care as long as we did the business on the pitch.” Souness joined Liverpool in 1978 and three years later was appointed captain. By then he was, along with Kenny Dalglish and Alan Hansen, part of an influential trio that controlled the team. The environment was brutal. Any perceived shirkers were told in savage terms to up their game. Much of the time Paisley and his lieutenants let peer pressure do their work for them. Underperformers got a tongue-lashing from team-mates. “The dressing-room was harsh,” Souness admits. Craig Johnston, the Australian midfielder, described what it was like to be part of the team. “The Scots set the tone,” he said. “They decided who and what was funny, who played well, who played badly. They were like strict schoolmasters even though they were playing. They understood how you had to behave if you were a group of men who wanted to win things. “If you were tired, not contributing or slacking, they didn’t want to know you. They kept the rest of the team professional. They were savage about getting the job done in the most direct way.” It was one thing not being good enough but those who had the talent to excel and failed to live up to their ability soon found themselves outcasts. Souness took this attitude into management and then punditry. Pogba’s prodigious abilities and largely underwhelming performances at Old Trafford have turned him into a regular target. “He has got exceptional physical attributes,” Souness said. When the three-time European Cup winner talks about the 27-year-old there is exasperation in his voice. There is a sense that he wants Pogba to be better. He suspects that no one at Carrington can exert the sort of influence that the Scots at Anfield had on their team-mates. “United made a mistake getting rid of [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic when they did,” he said. “Players listen to him. He was a big influence on everyone around him.” No one else at Old Trafford has the status to hold Pogba to account. The growing distance between players and the public does not help either. “I actually lived in Liverpool,” Souness said. “People weren’t slow to give an opinion if things weren’t going well. It was fine if you were successful. Modern players don’t get a chance to mix with the people of the city. They are protected by agents and press officers.” The spat with Pogba has gone on too long and taken on a life of its own. The quickest way for the United midfielder to silence his biggest critic would be to produce more dominant performances. Souness would probably enjoy that. This sort of feud is not very satisfying. It’s just words. Action, after all, is what really matters.

2020 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. 2020 Toyota RAV4: Compare Crossover SUV 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan 2020 Toyota RAV4 In the Thunderdome of compact crossovers, the 2020 Toyota RAV4 would be the one man to leave. The 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan? Not so much. But the Bartertown of car shopping is about more than sales numbers and TCC Ratings (RAV4 is a 6.5 to the Tiguan’s 6.0). Beyond Thunderdome are the nuances and charms of each of these winning choices. While the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan expects an update for 2021, the conservative styling and spacious interior have aged well. Redesigned for 2019, the bestselling RAV4 specializes in choice, ranging from the rugged TRD Off-Road model to a thrifty hybrid. So which one would Mad Max choose? Doesn’t matter. What matters is what’s important to you, the real-life car shopper. The 2020 RAV4 looks fresher than the 2020 Tiguan because it is. Toyota channeled its truck line in the design of the RAV4 to hark back to when SUVs were based on trucks. Chunky fenders and a stout, broad face pretend to be truck-like, but the Adventure and TRD Off-Road models add even more cosmetically rugged features. The 2020 Tiguan is nowhere near as daring or pretentious, and we don’t mean that in a bad way to either vehicle. Volkswagen makes its crossovers big, and the Tiguan is one of the largest among its class with up to 73.5 cubic feet of cargo space. Its boxy proportions reflect the 4 inches of added length it has beyond the RAV4. With doors that open wide for easier access for kids, adults, and car seats alike, the roomy seating area in the Tiguan complements plenty of cargo space. That space is trimmed in front-wheel-drive models because of the third row wedged in back. It’ll only fit grade-schoolers, and for a short time at that, but for some caregivers it could be a perfect solution. The third row is a $595 option on all-wheel-drive Tiguans, which makes sense if you prefer hauling gear more than grade-schoolers. The Tiguan’s versatility might give it an edge over the RAV4, which seats five. With the rear seats folded its cargo volume is 69.8 cubic feet, which is above average for the class. Head room is compromised by 2 inches, but there’s a bit more leg room in the cabin of the RAV4 than the Tiguan. Six-footers likely will find the Tiguan to be a roomier, comfier driving experience. The larger, heavier Tiguan is softer on the road, even though both use a four-wheel independent suspension to soak up road imperfections and keep the cabin an oasis of calm. The Tiguan’s 184-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo-4 with an 8-speed automatic transmission can be buzzy and the 8-speed can hesitate, especially when passing on the highway. The Tiguan’s 221 pound-feet of torque gives it some decent pep if you play with the manual setting of the gear selector. The RAV4 also uses an 8-speed automatic with a 2.5-liter inline-4 to make 203 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. Both crossovers are available with all-wheel drive meant for safety more than off-road capability; Toyota charges $1,400, Volkswagen $1,300. Fuel economy is where the RAV4 excels. The EPA rates the front-wheel-drive models at 26 mpg city, 35 highway, 30 combined; all-wheel drive lowers it to 25/33/28 mpg. The Tiguan is rated at 22/29/25 mpg for front-drive models, and 20/27/23 mpg with all-wheel drive. That’s a big difference and a big knock on the bigger Tiguan, even before considering the 41/38/40 mpg mark of the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid with all-wheel drive. Fortunately, the Tiguan undercuts the RAV4 on price while still offering a pretty good value. The base Tiguan S starts at $25,965 (including $1,020 destination) and comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, three USB ports, and advanced safety features including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and blind-spot monitors with rear cross-traffic alerts. Toyota takes safety a step further by equipping RAV4s with that equipment as well as active lane control, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams. That standard gear, and excellent crash-test ratings from the NHTSA and the IIHS, earned it a Top Safety Pick award. Only the top Tiguan in SEL Premium earned that important safety distinction. Toyota’s sterling safety rating can justify the RAV4’s higher starting price of $27,070 (including $1,120 destination). Our recommended pick is the $30,515 Hybrid XLE, which comes with a power-adjustable driver’s seat, keyless ignition, and more available options. The $36,900 asking price for the top Limited trim in AWD decks it out in Toyota’s finest, but at a price that brings us to Lexus territory. The Tiguan is not afraid of that territory, capping out at nearly $40,000 in top SEL trim. The value play is the SE in AWD for just under $30,000 for synthetic leather seats, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, and some other niceties. If you play it by the numbers, the 2020 Toyota RAV4 will be the one leaving the Thunderdome of your garage every day. But the spacious Tiguan has its charms, and VW is offering interest-free loans and zero-down leases, as well as a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty that includes two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance.

BARCELONA, Spain — The dead, piled up around the globe, tell a tale. When the outbreak hit Spain, coffin makers couldn’t keep up with the demand. In Italy, the bodies were stacked unceremoniously in the back of military vehicles and hauled away. As the coronavirus death toll in the United States mounts, experts can only estimate as to how high it will go. Accusations flew across continents as governments accused each other of lying about their coronavirus casualties. So while the official global death toll currently stands at more than 126,000, according to Johns Hopkins University, that number represents a mere estimate. Only countries with extensive testing can confirm their mortalities and, even in those with the necessary medical technologies, the simple act of counting the dead reflects the chaos that COVID-19 has wrought. Accurate counts are critical to understanding where to place scarce resources, such as ventilators and personal protective equipment. They are also one of the few ways to understand how and where the disease will likely intensify. “We don’t test, we don’t know who counts,” said Gerardo Chowell, professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the Georgia State University School of Public Health in Atlanta. “The number of confirmed deaths in Korea means something different than the number of confirmed deaths in Mexico. (South) Korea quickly ramped up testing rates and they have tested all, if not all of the suspected cases. In Mexico, that has not been the case.” NBC News takes a look at how some of the world’s leading health authorities have tried, and often failed, to count their dead from the pandemic. United States Official deaths according to Johns Hopkins University: 24,429 On Feb. 28, a Washington state man in his 50s became the first confirmed coronavirus death in the U.S. As of April 14, the nation’s death toll stood at more than 24,000, making it the highest in the world. And epidemiologists in the U.S. suspect that, due to the general lack of testing capacity and varying standards from state to state, this number may be an underestimate. Earlier this year, the percentage of deaths due to pneumonia nationwide was declining. By mid-March, pneumonia-related deaths were above the threshold that would be considered alarming. Normally a decline in flu deaths would coincide with a decline in pneumonia fatalities. In Washington state, Florida and New York, pneumonia deaths increased even as deaths due to the flu were declining, according to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “In the United States, testing started very slowly which allowed the virus to spread silently through the po[CENSORED]tion,” Chowell said. “And then obviously when people start to die, they are classified as a death from a respiratory disease or flu-like symptoms who may also have hypertension or diabetes. Those deaths will likely not get counted when in reality it was the virus that triggered their death.” The CDC came to pretty much the same conclusion: “Deaths due to COVID-19 may be misclassified as pneumonia deaths in the absence of positive test results, and pneumonia may appear on death certificates as a comorbid condition. Thus, increases in pneumonia deaths may be an indicator of excess COVID-19-related mortality.” As with some countries in Europe, the U.S. is working to establish a more real-time understanding of deaths that may be coronavirus related but have been attributed to other causes. Normally this kind of analysis – called excess mortality surveys — takes a year to develop. Italy Official deaths according to Johns Hopkins University: 21,067 There are varying theories as to the identity of the first person to bring the coronavirus into Italy. A team of researchers in Milan believes the person to be an asymptomatic carrier who likely brought the disease in from Munich. Italy’s first officially diagnosed patient was a 38-year-old married man who had never been to China, where the coronavirus was first identified. The man, identified by the Italian National Institute of Health only as Mattia, was athletic and resided in the small town of Codogno, south of Milan according to Flavia Riccardo, an epidemiologist at the institute. Local doctors thought he had contracted the flu Feb. 21. His pregnant wife became infected. And when he went to the hospital, the coronavirus was passed on to doctors, nurses and other patients. From there, the virus spread widely. Italy has reported more than 21,000 fatalities. Some claim that it may be one of the few countries in the world whose actual coronavirus deaths may be fewer than officially stated. Others think just the opposite. And this is typical of the confusion that ensues when a curtain of death descends over a period of just a few weeks. On the one hand, the Italian health system counts not only people who died directly from the coronavirus but also those who died of other causes, although they may have contracted the virus. Dr. Walter Ricciardi, the scientific adviser to Italy’s health minister, said last week. “Only 12 percent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus,” he said in a press conference. Spain Official deaths according to Johns Hopkins University: 18,255 Spain’s official tally, the third-highest after the United States and Italy, is grim enough. And yet these figures likely do not reflect the true extent of how badly the virus has ravaged the nation. When the pandemic first arrived, Spain did not take into account those who have died in their homes or in nursing facilities. Soldiers working for emergency response units tasked to disinfect the country’s nursing homes encountered horrible scenes of the dead “completely abandoned, or even dead, in their beds,” Defense Minister Margarita Robles said recently. More bodies were found in subsequent days, including 25 in a nursing home in the posh district of Chamartin in Madrid. The lack of molecular testing kits means the overall number of dead may be underreported. In some parts of the country, the number of dead was 70 percent higher than previous years even taking into account coronavirus mortalities, according to research conducted by the Carlos III Health Institute, published in the El Pais newspaper. The institute conducted an excess mortality survey, which, in the absence of blanket testing, gives a more accurate indication of coronavirus fatalities. France Official deaths according to Johns Hopkins University: 15,729 At the outset of the crisis, France also undercounted its dead. Until recently, authorities only counted coronavirus deaths from the 600 public hospitals in the country. Those who died at home or in the nation’s 7,500 facilities for the elderly were not included in the official tally of coronavirus deaths. In the wake of multiple deaths in French nursing homes, President Emmanuel Macron announced that deaths at these centers will now also be tallied. On April 6, French Health Ministry announced that 1,000 health establishments were submitting data on mortalities. Like Spain, France is moving quickly to fortify its system of reporting excess mortalities. While there is a two-week delay in getting this information, it does give French authorities the capacity to provide a good estimate of deaths from all causes during the epidemic. A quick turnaround means that French authorities will be able to get a better idea of possible coronavirus deaths that may not have been otherwise registered. And there is many more countries...

A series of Premier League clubs are set to return to their playing squads and press for wage cuts rather than deferrals in order to survive, in the ongoing stand-off about pay. The players are currently ‘hardline’ in their insistence that they do not agree to any cuts, with the collective preference for any money to go the NHS or charitable causes. It is increasingly felt this is noble but unrealistic, however, as many clubs – including some in the top six – are now seeking to impress on their players the severity of the situation. One executive has privately talked about how the game is “facing unprecedented challenges that nobody could have predicted”, that will force fundamental shifts in how clubs structure themselves financially. While most of the emphasis in recent weeks has been on the potential loss of broadcast money, Premier League clubs are increasingly concerned about the the medium-to-long term effect on a series of other revenue streams. There is worry that many of the finance options – like specific financing companies – used for season tickets won’t be there going forward, and could mean thousands not being taken up. There is also fear the restricted climate will see companies no longer spend so much on extras that are not essential, such as corporate boxes and premium seats in stadiums. Premier League executives are worried this could lead to the loss of millions of pounds per game, as there is also incremental revenue on everything beyond the seat. Force majeure in many sponsorship contracts will meanwhile ensure many bonuses are not paid. “The financial black hole is going to be massive,” one source sad. “There are going to be huge shortfalls which simply can’t be made up. It is why they have to go back to the players, and why mere deferrals are meaningless. Player wages are the current biggest expense, but that was from the pre-Coronavirus economics. It’s unsustainable now.

The key difference between aldehyde and alcohol is that aldehyde contains –CHO functional group whereas alcohol contains –OH functional group. Aldehydes and alcohols are organic compounds. They have different functional groups, as well as different chemical and physical properties. An aldehyde has a carbonyl carbon atom (a carbon atom attached to an oxygen atom through a double bond), but there are no carbonyl centres in alcohols. Both aldehydes and alcohols are very important in organic synthesis reactions, as precursors for other compounds such as ketones. What is Aldehyde? Aldehydes are organic compounds containing the –CHO group as the functional group. Therefore, it has a carbonyl centre (-C=O). The general formula of an aldehyde is R-CHO, where the R group can be either aromatic or aliphatic. Hence, the R group determines the reactivity of this organic molecule. Moreover, aromatic aldehydes are less reactive than aliphatic aldehydes. Aromatic have their –CHO group attached to an aromatic group. However, use this name when there is an aromatic group somewhere in the aldehyde. In addition to these, aromatic groups have a delocalized pi-electron cloud because of the conjugated pi bond system (alternating pattern of single bonds and double bonds). Aliphatic aldehydes have no aromatic rings attached to the –CHO group. Furthermore, these molecules do not have any aromatic ring attached to the compound. Since there are no aromatic rings, these molecules have no resonance stabilization as well. Hence, these molecules have highly electrophilic –CHO groups, making the reactivity of the molecules very high. What is Alcohol? Alcohols are organic compounds containing one or more hydroxyl groups (-OH). These molecules are composed of C, H and O atoms. These atoms are arranged in alkyl groups and hydroxyl groups. The hydroxyl group is attached to one carbon atom of the alkyl group. We can synthesize alcohols through different methods: E.g. Ziegler and oxo processes, hydration reactions, biological routes such as fermentation, etc. An alcohol can act as either the starting molecule or the intermediate for the synthesis of other organic compounds. Moreover, some beverages contain alcohols as a major or minor component. Sometimes alcohols can be used as solvents for purification of compounds out of impure mixtures. There are three types of alcohol structures as primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. Primary alcohols are composed of a hydroxyl group that is attached to a carbon atom of the alkyl group which is attached to only one alkyl group. Secondary alcohols, on the other hand, are composed of a carbon atom that is attached to a hydroxyl group and two other alkyl groups. Moreover, tertiary alcohols are composed of a carbon atom that is bonded to a hydroxyl group and with three alkyl groups. What is the Difference Between Aldehyde and Alcohol? Aldehydes and alcohols are organic compounds. They have different functional groups, resulting in different chemical and physical properties. The key difference between aldehyde and alcohol is that aldehyde contains –CHO functional group whereas alcohol contains –OH functional group. Also, another difference between aldehyde and alcohol is that there is a carbonyl carbon in an aldehyde, but there are no carbonyl centres in alcohol. Moreover, we can produce an aldehyde via oxidative routes and such as alcohol oxidation, while we can produce alcohol in three major ways: Ziegler and oxo processes, hydration reactions, and biological routes such as fermentation.

Chelsea legend Peter Bonetti has passed away aged 78 after a long battle with illness. The former England international, who was affectionately known as The Cat, won seven caps for his country and was part of the Blues side that won the FA Cup in 1970. Bonetti is the second all-time appearance maker for the Blues, behind only Ron Harris, after featuring in 729 matches from 1959 to 1979, while he kept 208 clean sheets, surpassed only recently by Petr Cech in 2014. A statement from the Blues read: “Chelsea Football Club is hugely saddened to announce the passing today of one of our indisputably all-time great players, Peter Bonetti. “Our former goalkeeper had been suffering from long-term illness. All at Chelsea wish to send our heartfelt and deepest condolences to Peter’s family and friends.” Assistant manager Jody Morris paid tribute to Bonetti on social media, writing: “RIP Peter Bonetti, a Chelsea legend and also the goalie coach when I first got into England Under-21s in 1996.” While goalkeeping great Neville Southall also paid tribute: “RIP my friend and one time goalkeeping coach Peter Bonetti. A lovely lovely guy. A fabulous goalkeeper. A great coach. A truly fantastic gentleman. Thanks for all your help.” Alongside the famous 1970 FA Cup win, Bonetti was twice promoted with the Blues to the First Division, as well as winning the 1964-65 League Cup and the Uefa Cup Winners’ Cup in 1971. Bonetti enjoyed a brief spell with the St Louis Stars in 1975 sandwich in the middle of his 20-year associations with the Blues. He would later play for Dundee United and Woking before hanging up the gloves for good in 1987. Bonetti’s legacy is partially down to his innovation at the position, thriving despite his height at less than six feet tall, while also known as the first in his role to utilise gardening gloves in handling slippery winter balls. He would roll the ball out in preference over the traditional tactic at the time of thumping the ball long. While Bonetti would frequently come off his line, defying his stature to emerge from a crowd of bodies with high catches inside the box. His impact on the international stage was limited due to the excellence of Gordon Banks ahead of him for the Three Lions, though he was part of the 1966 World Cup-winning squad, though he did not play a game. His excellence was nonetheless recognised worldwide, with Pele placing him in esteemed company. “The three greatest goalkeepers I have ever seen are Gordon Banks, Lev Yashin and Peter Bonetti,” proclaimed the Brazilian.

Animals vs Vehicles Past: In the past, people used animals like horses, donkeys, and camels to travel from one place to another. Present: With advancement in technology, transportation has become much wider, easier, and faster; there are a variety of vehicles to travel on land, air, and water. When talking about transportation on water, during ancient times, travels by ships took a long time, and many people died because of the weather and bad conditions of the ships. But today, there are luxury cruisers that carry supermarkets, tennis courts, swimming pools, houses, etc. Many people use airplanes to travel between countries.

Barcelona are in turmoil after six board directors resigned on Friday criticising the clubs’ handling of a social media scandal and the financial implications of the coronavirus crisis. Two of the club’s four vice presidents, Emili Rousaud and Enrique Tombas, were among those to quit, joined by directors Silvio Elias, Josep Pont, Jordi Calsamiglia and Maria Texidor. In a letter to fans, the directors pointed a finger at president Josep Maria Bartomeu and expressed doubts about the board’s ability to handle the implications of the pandemic, which has slashed income and led to a 70% players’ pay cut. They asked Bartomeu to call presidential elections as soon as possible and criticised the club for hiring a third party, I3 Ventures, earlier this year to monitor social media coverage of Barca. Bartomeu has denied accusations the company created social media accounts to smear future presidential candidates, and former and current players, but he anyway rescinded the club’s contract with the firm. I3 also denied any wrongdoing. “We have arrived at this point because we cannot reverse the way the club is managed in the face of important challenges in the future, especially in the post-pandemic era,” said the letter, which appeared in Spanish media on Friday. “We also want to show our displeasure over the unfortunate episode about the social media accounts, known as ‘Barcagate’, which we learned about through the press. “As our last act of service to the club, we recommend that elections are called as soon as circumstances permit so that the club can be managed in the best way possible and deal with the important challenges of the immediate future.” There was no immediate reaction from Barcelona or Bartomeu. Barca have won eight of the last 11 La Liga titles and led the standings when soccer in Spain was indefinitely postponed last month. Spain has suffered one of the worst outbreaks in the world, with 15,238 deaths and more than 150,000 cases. Barcelona players, including club captain Lionel Messi, have taken an additional pay cut to guarantee non-playing staff will receive full salaries while soccer is paused. Bartomeu, who is unable to stand for re-election as he has served two terms, became Barca president in 2014 after Sandro Rosell’s resignation. He has faced increasing criticism from supporters, who staged noisy protests against him in the last two matches at the Camp Nou and called for his resignation. Messi has also been critical of the club’s hierarchy.
