The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War. The current champion is Germany, which won its fourth title at the 2014 tournament in Brazil.

At the moment 24 national teams are classified, and only 8 more can be the classified.
Morocco is my country of origin and is one of this 8. I would like to be classified because since 1998 that does not participate in any World Cup. By this moment is classified, but he has a single match against Ivory Coast where 1 point is enough to get a direct ticket to Russia.
Good luck Lions!!!

I would like to obtain information from all museums, monuments, etc.

Besides, I would also like to know where I could stay and what would be the best ways of transport to go around the city. I also want to visit the stadiums and museums of Chelsea and Arsenal because I admire a lot English football.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours faithfully,

And so we went on a Saturday morning to Barcelona to watch a big football match. I'm a fan of Real Madrid, so I went to the field with a scarf Athletic Club.
where we were we could see the game very well and we enjoyed a good time.
The match ended with a 3-0 victory Barça with goals from Messi, Paco Alcacer and Aleix Vidal.
Was an unforgettable experience and the next target will be the Santiago Bernabéu.

FRANCESCO TOTTI SAYS GOODBYE

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/10896897/francesco-totti-in-numbers-roma-legend-bids-farewell

SUMMARY

In a 25-year stint with Roma that saw him symbolise Italian football, Totti scored 250 Serie A goals, won one World Cup.

Totti played his last game in football on Sunday, coming on in the 54th minute of a last-gasp 3-2 win over Genoa in Rome.
During all this time it has symbolized much for the Rome, the Italian soccer and the world-wide soccer. He has broken numerous national and world records, of which we will highlight a few.

• 8827 days separating Totti's Serie A debut at Brescia on March 28, 1993 and his final game against Genoa on Sunday.
• 91 penalties scored in 113 attempts. An Italian record.
• 23  Serie A seasons in which Totti has scored. A record.

MY OPINION

In my opinion, Francesco Totti is one of the best players of the history. Is good defending, has pass, has dribble, has goal, HAS IT ALL.
His physical abilities are very good since at this age very few players can continue to perform as he has. He has always been faithful to Rome.
It's too bad he does not play anymore.

SUMMARY

N'Golo Kante has been named as a (PFA) player of the year after dominating Blues' midfield on their Premier League title march.
Has been a key piece to win this title. The Frenchman, has been a new signing of this summer coming from Leicester City, with wich he also won the league title. Is the first player in the history of the Premier League to win two consecutive leagues titles in different teams.
The excellent season he made with Leicester City made many of the great teams in the world interested in him, but finally he opted for Chelsea.

MY OPINION

In my opinion, N'Golo Kante is by this time one of the best midfielder in the world. Is a clear example of improvement, since his situation before arriving to Leicester was not very good in France, and now he has achieved the glory.

CLON OF LIONEL MESSI IN IRAN

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3461529/lionel-messi-barcelona-lookalike/

SUMMARY

An Iranian is the latest to become a local celebrity. His name is Riza Partish and has been mistaken for Messi on countless occasions while walking the streets of his city Tehran. No only is it resembled by his beard and his hair, also all their physical apperance like the eyes, the nose...
Is so popular that people stop by the street for photos and autographs.
Is not the only one, since a week before they found another lookalike for Lionel Messi in Sao Paulo. His name is Alejandro Pereira Negreiros, a brazilian sweep shop worker's. Is not as similar as Riza.

MY OPINION

I understand that it is normal that there are people similar to another, but ask them for photos and autographs knowing that he is not Messi it is not normal.

MESSI'S STATUE

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/lionel-messi-statue-destroyed-vandals-buenos-aires-fc-barcelona-a7519386.html

SUMMARY

The bronze figure, standing among other dedications to Argentine sports stars on the city's Paseo de la Gloria, was only erected in June last year, but has now been broken in half by vandals.

This vandal act was triggered by the announcement of the withdrawal of Messi with the selection.

This was not the first time that a statue on the Paseo de la Gloria was vandalised – previously, someone stole a tennis racket from a statue of Gabriela Sabatini on the same street.

But it was only because of his anger over the bad results, since later rectified that he would never leave the selection

MY OPINION

I believe that there should not be these acts, since it is only sport and it does not have to join with the violence.

GLOBAL ISSUE NEWS

IOWA CONGRESSMAN CRITIZED FOR RACIALLY CHARGED COMMENTS

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/us-congressman-supports-anti-immigration-dutch-politician-46088250

Democrats and some Republicans criticized a veteran congressman for a racist expression.

Saying America can't restore ''our civilization with somebody else's babies'' and warning of a liberal effort to destroy Western civilization through immigration.

"We need to get our birth rates up or Europe will be entirely transformed within a half a century or a little more," King said.

''Understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies."

King said his comments aren't focused on race, but after his statements he is contradicting.

In defending his remarks, King wants to see Americans "bonded together.

Iowa Republicans they disagreed with King.

MY OPINION

I think people like this should not exist, because they only make society dirty. If you have a little knowledge, you know that most people who live on a site are immigrants.

Donald Trump is an IMMIGRANT, the real Amreicans are the American Indians, fo example the Cherokee.

TED TALK: THE BEAUTY AND DIVERSITY OF MUSLIM LIFE

Bassam Tariq, talks about the beauty and diversity of Muslims. Has three importants projects that will make Muslims and non-Muslims change. Being a part of his community, he knows how welcoming this space was, but this space was being documented as a lifeless and cold monolith.

His friend and he had an idea and decided to break the fast in 30 mosques from different states. what emerged was a beautiful and complicated portrait of America. The media coverage forced local journalist to revisit their Muslim communities, but the most exciting was seeing people from around the world being inspired to take their own 30-mosque journey.

The second project was to make a film in Pakistán. The movie is called ''THES BIRDS WALK'', and it is about wayward street kids who are struggling to find some semblance of family.

The third project was, inexperienced, open a halal meat shop called HONEST CHOPS. Because the majority of Halal meat in America doesn't rise to the standard that Islam faith calls for.

He and her friends, we're reclaiming halal by sourcing organic, humanely raised animals and by making it accessible and affordable to working-class families. This shop its not only for muslims, the 90% of clients are non-muslims.

I think that it is a great iniciative that has made and will continue to change the view of Islam of many people around the world.

MY HOBBIES
