While Japan certainly possess talented players and have not missed a World Cup since their 1998 debut, they consistently underwhelm once they arrive at the big show. This summer may not be any different for them, especially given the turmoil in terms of the now former head coach Vahid Halilhodzic being sacked one month ago. With players like Shinji Kagawa, or Keisuke Honda, Genki Haraguchi, or even Leicester City’s Shinji Okasaki, Japan will field the talent to win games.

  • Islamic State GROUP to Mint Own Coins Min
    SUBSCRIPTION SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2014 MUHARRAM 22, 1436 AH No: 16343 MP asks why Obama backs Equatorial private schools Suu Kyi bid to Guinea to host reject bedoons2 change charter8 African44 Cup Islamic State group to mint own coins Min 11º 150 Fils New currency aims to free ‘enslaved’ Muslims Max 28º CAIRO: The leader of the Islamic State group has ordered the terror organization to start minting gold, silver and copper coins for its own currency - the Islamic dinar. A website affili- ated with the group posted the order late Thursday, saying IS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi instructed his followers to mint the coins to “change the tyrannical monetary system” mod- elled on Western economies that “enslaved Muslims”. The order was approved by the Islamic State group’s Shura Council, an advisory board, according to the website. The authenticity of the posting could not be independently verified but the website has been used in the past for IS post- ings. The IS said its circulation of the new coins, to counter the widely-used US dollar, would free Muslims “from profi- teering, satanical economic oppression”, and it posted pic- tures of what the coins would look like. According to photographs of the coin prototypes, they carry the words in Arabic: “The Islamic State/A Caliphate Based on the Doctrine of the Prophet.” It’s unclear where the Islamic State group intends to get the gold, silver and copper for the coins. It said the dinar’s purchasing power would be its weight in gold, silver or copper. One of the gold coins car- ries the symbol of seven stalks of wheat, mentioned in the Quran, while another has the map of the world, a reference to Islam someday ruling the entire world.
