Sport: Goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama Ranks 4th Best Goalkeeper In The World By FIFA

Goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama Ranks 4th Best Goalkeeper In The World By FIFA
Isn’t there a mistake? Shouldn’t he be number one considering Enyeama`s brilliant performance for the super Eagles as the last man standing? Anyone working for Nigeria should be given extra extra extra credit.. But it’s alright.
Vincent is another goalkeeper who arrived after a record-breaking season at club level.
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.

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.
Goalkeeper Vincent has been able to make several breathtaking safes during the 2014 world cup and as such FIFA ranked him number 4 in world. Manuel Neuer of Germany(one of the German machines that ended Brazil’s world cup destiny) is however ranked number 1 in the world. see the full list of goalkeepers below..

Full List
1. Manuel Neuer, Germany
2. Guillermo Ochoa, Mexico
3. Keylor Navas, Costa Rica
4. Vincent Enyeama, Nigeria
5. Tim Howard, USA
6. Rais M’Bolhi, Algeria
7. Júlio César, Brazil
8. Thibaut Courtois, Belgium
9. David Ospina, Colombia
10. Tim Krul, Holland

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...
