France beat Uruguay 2-0 on Friday to come a game away from making their first World Cup final in 12 years. An Antoine Griezmann free kick was well connected with a powerful header by centre back Raphael Varane in the first half to put Les Bleus in front. It was five minutes to end the first half of the first quarter-final game of the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Russia. So the French went into the break with that solitary goal lead. They returned from the second half with Griezmann knocking hard for his first open-play goal in the tournament.…

The President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Ahmad Ahmad, has appointed the President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to replace embattled former First Vice Chairman Kwesi Nyantakyi. The former President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) resigned from his position a few days after he was captured in an investigative film engaging in underhand dealings. He mentioned the name of the president, vice president and some government officials in the said video. President Nana Akufo-Addo has since reported him to the police for action. Mr Nyantakyi was suspended by the global football-governing body, FIFA, after the investigative…

National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) John Boadu says the initiative by Acting National Chairman Freddie Blay to resource the constituencies with a bus each is “simple but it is becoming difficult for people to understand”. According to him, it was a promise made to the 275 constituencies and Mr Blay should rather be congratulated for fulfilling his promise. Speaking to 3FM’s Winston Amoah on Friday ahead of the 2018 National Annual Delegates’ Conference of the NPP, Mr Boadu, who is the Acting General Secretary, said he was deeply involved in the move. He said it is an…

A National Vice Chairperson aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Agnes Asangalisa Chigabatia, says what the grassroots need is the support in order to be sustainable. Touting herself as the “fertilizer” for the grassroots, she said a vote for her at the 2018 National Delegates’ Conference on Saturday will see funds pumped into the lower tiers of the party. “I am manure for the grassroots. They need support to hold the party.” Mrs Chigabatia, who was once Upper East Region Minister, was speaking to Onua FM’s Kwesi Asempa on Friday ahead of the Conference. ‘Silver collection must stop’ The…

Weird that I’m about to share my first orgasm story with you huh. I know, I feel  about it too but I just couldn’t help but compare sex talk with our parents then and the now “modern” parenting.   Some of you may relate to what you’re about to read so let’s just have a good laugh, shall we? My parents never taught me anything about sex because they said it’s a topic for adults. I wasn’t allowed to watch movies that were R-rated. I remember the number of times either of my folks will quickly change the channel when…

The Anana Kojo Yenadze Ebusua of Moree in the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese District of the Central Region wants the body of the late Paa Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur brought home for burial. A head of the clan, Nana Sagoe Amanfo II, told 3news.com’s Central Region correspondent Kwame Kakarba on Monday that they will not allow their son to be buried neither in Accra nor in Cape Coast. The immediate past Vice President of Ghana passed away last Friday at the 37 Military Hospital after collapsing at a gym. He was rushed to the hospital but could not survive. It is likely a state…

Neymar scored one goal and played a key role in the second as Brazil edged out Mexico in Samara to reach the World Cup quarter-finals for a seventh consecutive time. Brazil did not have it all their own way, especially in an opening period dominated by Mexico, but the five-time winners grew into what became a controlled performance. It means Mexico are once again eliminated at the last-16 stage – as they have been at every World Cup since 1994. They did have plenty of chances early on, and it was only after a largely frustrating first half for Brazil…

National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Kofi Adams has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of being behind a mastermind to get the former Chair of the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC), Charlotte Osei, out of office. According to him, the president has been unfair in the way he handled the petition against the EC as against others that have been brought to his notice. Mr Adams argues that the swiftness with which President Akufo-Addo handled the “faceless” petition brought to have Mrs Osei investigated is not the same he handles other petitions. For example, the former NDC Deputy…

Edinson Cavani scored two superb goals as Uruguay beat Portugal to set up a World Cup quarter-final meeting with France. Defeat for the European champions finished Cristiano Ronaldo’s hopes of success in Russia just hours after Lionel Messi and Argentina were knocked out, beaten 4-3 by Les Bleus. This World Cup has not been short of stunning goals and Cavani added another to the collection when he opened the scoring early on, playing a superb one-two with Luis Suarez before thumping home a header from his strike partner’s cross. Uruguay had not conceded a goal at this World Cup before…
