Legends against Poverty

The Writer is blessed enough to see these football legends played in their prime a few years back. So to see them gathered once again to show their football performance was unbelievable. If this was a club team at any time of the few years back, it maybe a complete and a perfect team. These legends in the picture were posing for a charity match under the United Nations Development Program. Readers surely remembered them. If not, most of their names. Long live the legends!

Football Cum Martial Art

Remember this movie? A long time ago. But its contents were enough to make all laugh everytime we remember them. The movie is called Shaolin Soccer. It starred Stephen Chow as the main actor. The movie combined comedy with martial art and outrageous football skills. The Writer really likes this movie as it not just manage to make people laugh but also having a bunch of moral values. Please see this if you haven't.

Special Kid

This kid is special. At least in his DNA. His name is Benjamin Aguero. His father is yes, the Argentine football superstar, Sergio Aguero. His godfather is also a football great, if not, among the greatest footballers in the world which is none other than Lionel Messi. And more impressively, his grandfather is the Argentine football legend, Diego Maradona. His mother, the daughter of Maradona married Aguero. Too many football DNA in his blood and even in his surrounding. One must wonder whether this kid can follow his seniors' football careers. Only time can tell. At least he has got name and the basis to succeed in football. The only way to prove it is his dedication to football and more importantly whether he really wants to be a footballer too.
