Champions League: Tuchel Blasts UEFA Over new Format

  Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has hit out at UEFA’s Champions League reforms. According to the former PSG and Borussia Dortmund boss, the governing body avoided criticisms because of the outrage over the collapsed Super League.

Tuchel said: “I’m not sure if I like it because I can only see more games out of it.

Boity Thulo addresses criticism of her cider range

Bakae hitmaker Boity Thulo has responded to criticism about the price of her range of alcoholic and nonalcoholic cider. Chatting to TshisaLIVE on the TshisaPOD series, Boity said she was aware of the negative commentary around the R200 per six pack price tag, as well as the range being sold exclusively at Shoprite Liquor. However, the star believes the drink is well worth the price. “I know there was a lot of criticism of the price, but there was also a lot of support.

Juventus vs Parma: Pirlo Reacts to Ronaldo’s Failure to,Jump,Block Free-kick

  Juventus manager Andrea Pirlo has reacted after Cristiano Ronaldo again faced criticism for an apparent reluctance to commit fully to blocking dangerous free-kicks.

Ronaldo’s presence is often needed in defensive walls during free-kicks, given his height and frame. But the 5-time Ballon d’Or winner has, however, faced criticism of late over his reluctance to perform this role. FC Porto fired beyond the 36-year-old during their Champions League game to claim a notable scalp and Parma also drilled over Ronaldo’s head in a Serie A outing on Wednesday.

It all started when Anele posted an innocent selfie showing off her make-up game. While some were here for the look, others quickly dug up her previous criticism of US singer Kelly Rowland and used it against her.

Save your data for when you leave Wi-Fi zones. Trust, sihappy, thina,” wrote Anele. A tweep replied to her in a now-deleted tweet, continuing to question her past opinions on make-up.

Bush on Tuesday described the Republican Party, of which he is a member, as "isolationist, protectionist and, to a certain extent, nativist," his strongest and most direct criticism yet against the party since leaving office in 2009.
