Ronaldo-Messi: The Infinite Challenge

These 48 first World Cup matches have ended yesterday, and these matches brought us straight to the second round, which will start tomorrow. Matches that have led us to a series of historical statistical records ; the oldest player ever to be on the pitch in the World Cup , the almost endless series of games without 0-0, and the first time a team qualified thanks to the number of yellow cards . We now move on to the second round, therefore, but in my opinion there are so many other beautiful things left to discuss about the groups. Surely, one of them is the Ronaldo-Messi rivalry. They could challenge each other in the quarters and it would be, sort of, the peak of their sporting rivalry. In two weeks we have seen quite a lot.

Top 7 Amazing Fountains in Europe

It is honestly one of the most intriguing and unusual displays in the world. The glass covered, giant outdoor water feature is bui

The Prince And The Pauper

It seems that many in Malta and around the world are awaiting with bated breath the arrival of a new British royal this month. Kensington Palace officials did not reveal Kate’s exact due date, but it has been reported to be 23 rd April. This info is all over the news… But I don’t care about the royal baby much! The fact that this particular baby will be born doesn’t excite me at all. Is there anything wrong with me? I can’t help but wonder about the estimated 371,520 babies that will be born around the world on the same day that, the third royal baby will come to be. While some of those common children will also be born into a world of relative privilege and safety—though not the royal levels of privilege, by any means—many more of them will not. Many of the babies born on the 23 rd April will inherit a world that is dangerous and even deadly. Of the non-royal 371,520 babies that will be born on the 23 rd April, it is estimated that 24,000 will probably not live to se
