Mikel Obi: "Ronaldo's fans are behind the idea that referees or FIFA are favoring Messi," responding to former Chelsea player Joe Cole, who asked for his views ahead of the Argentina vs. England match regarding officials helping Argentina reach the semi-finals.

Mikel said: “I’m not buying into that bu****it. This is all the Ronaldo fans coming up with all this crap."

If they won their games, which they should have done, they would not play tougher teams. Argentina did their job, they won their games, and they got into the easier group.

“So this is all Ronaldo fans. I don’t like that. FIFA are not favouring Messi.”

“Messi is doing his job. He’s playing, he’s scoring goals, and he’s breaking records.

If they do we against England, Messi will have a chance of winning the World Cup back-to-back. Mikel Obi added

Gençlerbirliği S.K. and Nigerian forward Henry Onyekuru have reached a mutual agreement to terminate his contract after the club informed him that it cannot meet his salary obligations for the upcoming season.

The Turkish club will pay Onyekuru a portion of his contract, as both parties have officially decided to part ways.

Onyekuru has received offers from clubs in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. However, he is not in a hurry to select his next team and plans to take his time before deciding on his next destination.

Belgian club Eupen FC has completed the signing of Nigerian young central defender Michael Precious following his impressive performance during one week of trials.

Michael moved from an academy in Nigeria, Supreme Kings Academy.

Mikel Obi was asked how to stop Messi ahead of Argentina vs England World Cup semi-final: "We've all tried, and we've all failed. One thing I have to say is that he's a genius, a fantastic player. When we used to play Chelsea against Barcelona, it was incredible. Obviously, a week before the game, we always talked about Lionel Messi and how we could stop him. And, of course, Mourinho always had the tactics: 'How do we stop this little magician?'" Obi said during interaction with some Former England Player on The Rest Is Football, via Netflix.

"We've all tried to gang up against him. You have to have one or two players. You can't defend 1v1 against him; it's impossible. You can, but you don't want to work around with a player like that, just walk around with him one-to-one. But that Barcelona team, they are moving the ball around just to find one person, just to get the ball to him."

Once that ball hits his feet, everything else changes. It's just incredible. The way he dribbles the ball, the ball is like a magnet on his feet. It's just the vision that he has. He's one of the best passers in the world. We talk about his goals, but he's one of the best passers. The weight of the pass is just incredible. We tried. During our time with Chelsea, he didn't score a goal against us, did he?"
