Lionel Messi’s international misery continues


After loosing the 2014 World Cup Final to Germany in extra time Lionel Messi had a brilliant season with Barcelona inspiring them to another treble winning season, a perfect preparation for the Copa America. After below par performances in the group stage Lionel Messi came to life against Paraguay providing 3 Assists and some mesmeric dribbles resulting in a 6-1 win for Argentina. Then came the chance for him to end his international misery with Argentina after loosing the World Cup last year, but it was not to be, Lionel Messi was nowhere near his best in the final, often finding himself covered by five Chile players. Argentina eventually lost the final on penalties although Lionel Messi scored but it wasn't enough, his international misery continues.

La Roja stun Argentina


The Copa America finally ended with Host nation Chile emerging victorious via a penalty shoot out (Chile 4- Argentina 1) after a nil-nil scoreline in 90 minutes plus 30 minutes extra time. Chile's Alexis Sanchez sealed the win with a cheeky and classy paneka penalty ending their 99 year wait for a major trophy. As for Lionel Messi and Argentina their 22 year wait for a major trophy goes on.

Tribute to Bob Marley: A long gone reggae legend

Born, Nesta Robert Marley on 6 February 1945 at Nine Mile, Saint Ann, Jamaica. He is a singer, song writer, guitarist and musician who also goes by other names such as Donald Marley and Tuff Gong.
As a family man, Marley was a father of eight (Sharon Marley Prendergast (adopted), Cedella Marley, David Nesta "Ziggy" Marley, Stephen Robert Nesta Marley, Rohan Anthony Marley, Julian Ricardo Marley, Ky-Mani Marley,Damian Robert Nesta Marley) but a husband of one (Alpharita Anderson Marley (m. 1966; his death 1981)) although was reported to have had affairs with different women.
He was born Catholic (1945–66), baptized Rastafarian (1966–80) and converted and baptized Ethiopian Orthodox Christian (1980–81).
A past Jamaican Prime Minister Edward Seaga delivered the final funeral eulogy to Marley, declaring:
His voice was an omnipresent cry in our electronic world. His sharp features, majestic looks, and prancing style a vivid etching on the landscape of our minds. Bob Marley was never seen. He was an experience which left an indelible imprint with each encounter. Such a man cannot be erased from the mind. He is part of the collective consciousness of the nation.
Dave Thompson wrote about Marley:
Bob Marley ranks among both the most popular and the most misunderstood figures in modern culture ... That the machine has utterly emasculated Marley is beyond doubt. Gone from the public record is the ghetto kid who dreamed of
Che Guevara and the Black Panthers, and pinned their posters up in the Wailers Soul Shack record store; who believed in freedom; and the fighting which it necessitated, and dressed the part on an early album sleeve; whose heroes were
James Brown and Muhammad Ali; whose God was Ras Tafari and whose sacrament was marijuana. Instead, the Bob Marley who surveys his kingdom today is smiling benevolence, a shining sun, a waving palm tree, and a string of hits which tumble out of polite radio like candy from a gumball machine. Of course it has assured his immortality. But it has also demeaned him beyond recognition. Bob Marley was worth far more.
He died on 11 May 1981 at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami (now University of Miami Hospital) at the age of 36. The spread of
melanoma to his lungs and brain caused his death. His final words to his son Ziggy were "Money can't buy life."

Tribute Special

In our bid to spicing up your experience on our page, we are coming up with a segment, which will be called our tribute special. Here we will be paying tribute and giving honour to whom the honour is due. Watch out!!!

A Child's Profile part1


Everyone is important in the family. It does not matter if they are first or the last or just hanging there in the middle.
And there are some basic characters associated with each person based on their positions in the family.
Although this may not be peculiar to all as there might be some exceptions like some last kids may behave like the only child or some middle kids like the first child. But a general observation has shown these characters are in most of the people occupying these positions in the family.
So find your spot and identify the attributes synonymous to you.
I'd start with the last borns because I'm one so here it is
Profile Of Last Born
*The last born grows with a tremendous sense of entitlement. They know they are the special ones and don't need any form of convincing to know this
*They are usually "people persons" due to the fact that they were often cuddled and babied by their mum and dad and older siblings
*They are risk takers as compared to their older siblings
*They are persuasive
*Most comedians are last borns
*They tend to seek attention whether by trying to be rebellious, ambitious
*They are best suited for people oriented jobs
*They are extroverts, energized by the presence of other people and are good relationships
*Their weakness include short attention span and are easily bored
*They are rather self centered and optimistic to a fault
*To the first borns, last born may seem undisciplined and easily deceived
*They can be temperamental and moody, spoiled and impatient

Another baby mama drama!!!

Popular american celebrity CHRIS BROWN is going through baby mama drama .

Breezy had a $10k agreement in place with his baby mama, Nia Guzman … but when she shipped little Royalty off to hang with Chris' mom, he cut her off.

Royalty's parents finally came to an agreement on child support ... settling on $10k per month from CB, starting July 1. As we reported, Chris' camp said Nia initially wanted $15k, but he only wanted to pay $2,500.  

We’re told the new deal blew up though, when Daddy wanted Royalty this week -- but she was already hanging with grandma in Virginia. Since relations between Chris and his mom have been bad for years now ... our sources say Chris got pissed.   

We're told Nia's claiming this is the first time she's ever denied Chris visitation, but looks like once was enough. We broke the story ... Chris is filing to establish paternity in court, so a judge can settle their child support and custody issues. 

From a reliable source, Nia never wanted to go to court because she didn’t want to seem like a gold digger.
