Despite losing 0-1 to the Germans in the final of the FIFA World Cup for U-20 Women, Nigeria’s leading telecommunications provider, Globacom, has congratulated the Falconets for what it called an outstanding performance at the just concluded female World Cup in Montreal, Canada.        
Globacom said though they lost the cup, the girls made a good showing and gave a good account of themselves.  To qualify for the finals, the Super Falconets defeated New Zealand and North Korea in the Quarter and Semi-finals respectively.
According to a statement issued from Globacom’s headquarters: “The Falconets, in spite of the loss to Germany in the finals of the competition, put up a stiff competition against the highly-rated German team.  But for certain technical anomalies, the Falconet would have picked the trophy. They displayed the Nigerian can-do spirit and high-level patriotism.”
Globacom applauded the handlers of the team for their dedication to duty, determination to excel and for making the nation proud at the mundial.
“We at Globacom are proud of the Falconets and the coaching crew for distinguishing themselves as the best in Africa and officially, second in the world. We will continue to support our national teams in every way possible,” the statement stated.
Globacom also extolled top scorer, Azeezat Oshoala’s sterling performance, which earned her the Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards.  The company charged her to go ahead and achieve more glory in the field of play in future. “Your career has just started and you have what it takes to be among the world’s very best in football” Globacom stated.
The telecommunications giant expressed optimism that this present crop of female footballers will achieve much more in years to come if they are kept together as a team.  The statement said that the team looks well to bring home better results in future tournaments.
The Falconets lost by a lone goal in the extra time of the match, but obviously outplayed the Germans, having greater ball possession.

CAS Upholds Suarez's 4-Month Ban

Luis Suarez's four-month biting ban is upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but he is cleared to train. A full explanation of the Court of Arbitration for Sport's ruling will not be published until a later date. Suarez's lawyers argued world governing body FIFA's decision to suspend him from all "football-related activity" for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup was excessive. The Uruguay striker, 27, was also banned for nine international matches. Suarez was a Liverpool player at the time of his clash with Chiellini but has since left Anfield to join Barcelona in a £75m deal. Barcelona's La Liga season starts at home to Elche on 24 August. An eight-game ban would have meant Suarez was unavailable until El Classico at Real Madrid on 26 October. At last week's hearing in Lausanne, Suarez's legal team argued he should be allowed to train with Barca during his suspension and that his ban should be limited to internati...

The Great Chinese Exodus Many Chinese are leaving for cleaner air, better schools and more opportunity. But Beijing is keeping its eye on them.

A recent report showed that 64% of China's rich are either migrating overseas or have plans to leave the country. Political scientist James To, who has written a book on the subject, tells the WSJ's Deborah Kan how the Chinese government is using propaganda campaigns abroad to ensure loyalty from overseas Chinese. Even when the emperors did their utmost to keep them at home, the Chinese ventured overseas in search of knowledge, fortune and adventure. Manchu Qing rulers thought those who left must be criminals or conspirators and once forced the entire coastal population of southern China to move at least 10 miles inland. But even that didn't put an end to wanderlust. Sailing junks ferried merchants to Manila on monsoon winds to trade silk and porcelain for silver. And in the 19th century, steamships carried ar...
