France Beat Nigeria 1-0 in Women’s World Cup

France penalty goal

Nigeria lost to France 1-0 in their last group match of the FIFA Women’s World Cu.

Nigeria started brightly wining the first corner kick of the match and almost scored. from then on it was all France doing the playing and pressing, and Nigeria giving away free kicks and corner kicks, for all the ball possession by France, no shot at goal for them in the first half, Nigeria defended well.

The second half stated the same way the first half ended, France pressing, Nigeria defending, however luck ran out for Nigeria when in the 73rd min, VAR ruled against the decision of the referee when Ngozi Ebere fouled  Asseyi in the 18 yard box, she was given a second yellow meaning a red card so Nigeria reduced to 10 men, the penalty was saved, but VAR ruled that the penalty be retaking because the Nigerian goalkeeper had stepped off her line before the penalty was taken. France scored on the second attempt in the 79th minute by Wendie Renard’s penalty to beat Nigeria 1-0.

Group A Final Standings

France go through as group winners, Norway runners up after beating south Korea 2-1, Nigeria claim third spot and will wait to see if they go through, South Korea  eliminated.

4 Reasons why the PlayStation 4 is better than the PC for Gaming.

Slim PS4

Cost:

With at least $300 you get the most advanced gaming console; the PlayStation 4 (PS4). To build a personal computer (PC) that would match or better the PS4, you will spend at least 3 times the price.

Plug & Play:

The PS4 is a computer built and optimized for gaming . Just insert your game CD or download the digital version and play without having to do any hardware or software upgrade. Even with a more powerful PC, you can’t be 100% certain you can play all game titles without the hassles of an upgrade.

Portability:

The slim PS4 console is very easy to fit in a small bag and carry around as compared to desktop gaming PCs .

Maintenance:

The only major maintenance you will need for your PS4 is to keep away from moisture and protect from power surges. However in addition with a PC, you will regularly have to rid the  system of junk files, virus checks and removal if you want your installed games to continue running smoothly.

I personally won’t recommend playing high ended games on laptops as most of them are not  fully optimized for that, except a gaming laptop which is expensive with a cost of 3 to 4 times that of the PS4.

Playing high ended games on un-optimized laptops will reduce their life span as a result of excessive overheating. If you are a PC game fanatic, better build a desktop PC to suit your gaming needs as they are much cheaper.
