The home-based Super Eagles play hosts Morocco in Sunday’s final LIVE at the Stade Mohammed V from 2


If Nigeria are to win the 2018 CHAN title this weekend, they would have done it against the odds as they face off against a 12-man home team backed by a boisterous 45000-strong partisan crowd.

The home-based Super Eagles play hosts Morocco in Sunday’s final LIVE at the Stade Mohammed V from 21:00.
The Atlas Lions, as the hosts are affectionately known, breezed their way through the group stages, thrashing Mauritania by four goals in the tournament’s opening fixture, beating Guinea 3-1 and ending the group stages campaign with a goalless draw against Sudan, a match they should have won after playmaker, Achraf Bencharki missed a penalty. They then beat Namibia 2-0 in the quarterfinals and needed extra-time to get past Libya 3-1 in the semi-finals. All these performances were in front of hostile sell-out crowds who played the role of 12th man and assisted in stifling their opponents at every turn.
Learning to manage the crowd will be half the battle won for Nigeria, who also had a relatively easy passage through the group stages, drawing with Rwanda before beating Libya and Equatorial Guinea. The knockout stages saw them needing extra-time to get past Angola 2-1 in the quarterfinals, and scrapping past Sudan 1-0 in the semis, in a match that had to make do with 10 men for more than 30 minutes after they had Ifaenyi Ifaenyi ejected in the 58th minute for a second caution.,

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
