Enyeama keeps 11th consecutive clean-sheet!

By

Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama claimed his 11th consecutive shut-out and 14th overall to displace Salvatore Sirigu as a late Nolan Roux goal gave Lille 1-0 win over Marseille.


The result means the Super Eagles number one is now just 140 minutes shy of the French League record of consecutive clean-sheets held by Bordeaux goalkeeper Gaëtan Huard.

To do so Enyeama only needs to keep Bastia out, and deny PSG for 52 minutes.

The former Enyimba man only needed to protect his net for four minutes against Marseille to slip ahead of Sirigu.

And despite the frenzy of those opening five minutes, the Nigerian barely had to do much. But then Marseille upped the ante, and it took brave, if sometimes insane, goalkeeping from the Super Eagles number one man to hold on to his record.

First he pushed out Pierre Gignac's crossed curler away after 17 minutes, then made a monster save on 24 minutes from the same man as Marseille came dangerously close to ending his run.

An initial attack for the away side appeared to have peters away, but the ball fell to Mathieu Valbuena, who slotted Gignac into the box, onside and one-on-one with Enyeama, but the Lille man sprinted off his line to make an unbelievable block.

Valbuena knocked the ball over to the left for Dimitri Payet to whip in a cross. What followed was chaos.

Gignac shrugged off his marker to hit what looked an almost certain goal from point-blank range. But Enyeama somehow found a way to make the stop and in the game of pinball that followed, Lille only just managed to clear their lines.

An unbelieving Gignac could not help himself as he went over to pat the goalkeeper on the back.

If that was great, his next save, or double save, was the stuff of insanity. First he pulled off another point-blank stop from Florian Thauvin, then somehow still found the awareness and agility to get up to turn away Payet's vicious drive.

And to crown Enyeama's efforts at the back, Roux finished Marseille off in injury-time, heading into the bottom corner from Idrissa Gueye's cross.

Lille move into second place, a point behind PSG, who have a game in hand.

Microsoft Is About To Leave One-Third Of All Computers Vulnerable To Hacking

By
Hundreds of millions of computers running everything from ATMs to the power grid will be vulnerable to hacking next month when Microsoft stops supporting its old Windows XP operating system. Hackers have been holding onto flaws in Windows XP and waiting to exploit them until after the software giant stops issuing security updates on April 8, experts say. Adam Meyers, vice president of intelligence at Crowdstrike, a cybersecurity firm, said it was “fairly dangerous” to continue using the 12-year-old operating system because after the deadline “victims can’t defend themselves.” “I certainly wouldn't run Windows XP after the 8th," Meyers said in an interview. Microsoft announced six years ago it will no longer provide security patches or technical support for the out-of-date software. Yet about  one-third of computers  around the world -- or about 500 million PCs -- still run Windows XP. On Microsoft’s website , a clock ticks down to next month’s Windows deadline an

Soon You Won't Have To Type In Your Credit Card Number On Your iPhone

By
Apple plans to make online shopping a little easier this fall. iOS8, the new iPhone operating system that's coming out later this year,  will let you scan your credit card when buying something in Safari . Instead of typing in numbers, you'll be able to hold up your card and have the iPhone automatically recognize the numbers and punch them in for you. Here's what it will look like, with photos courtesy of 9to5 Mac: Apple debuted both the new iPhone and Mac operating systems in San Francisco on Monday. Though you can't get the updates until this fall, a few developers already have access -- and the credit card feature is just one of several changes that are coming to your phone and computer. The company also has plans to make texting easier, and might be changing the font on the Mac for the first time ever. Some apps  like Uber  already use similar technology to the new card-scanning option, allowing you to hold your credit card up to your phone and get the
