The special sauce of Samba football
In the summer of 2014, I took myself to Heathrow airport to start what would be one of the best experiences of my life. What was originally meant to be a lad’s holiday to the World Cup in Brazil, a footballing holy land for any football fan and a once-in-a-lifetime experience, was now a solo trip into the unknown. Normally when everyone drops out of a lad’s holiday you don’t pack a suitcase and go anyway, but like I said this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I was not about to pass it up. Since I was going to be on my own, I needed to find something to do to pass the time and as a qualified football coach, I couldn’t resist when the chance came up to volunteer to coach local kids, in one of the favelas through Travelers Worldwide. This changed a couple of things for me though, firstly what would have been a two-week trip at most was now going to be 5 weeks, giving me enough time to coach and enjoy the World Cup, and secondly, I’d have to learn Brazilian Portuguese. As an Englishman, I’m used to going most places and having people speak my language better than I can speak there’s but this wasn’t going to be the case and I had a job to do. I’d studied German at school, I wasn’t very good, I know this because I remember not knowing the answer to a painfully obvious question, so painfully obvious in fact, my German teacher couldn’t help but throw my textbook across the room and kick me out of the class to help to relieve his pain. Mind you, not before taking several energetic minutes to forewarn me of the fool I was to waste this opportunity. He apologized after, but nearly bringing a man to tears with what I didn’t know, dissuaded me of any ambition of learning another language. So, there was little hope of success with Brazilian Portuguese but my number one rule as a coach is you don’t have to be the best, just better. By the time I boarded the plane I knew I knew enough no one would scream at me and that would do. In truth by the time I left, I knew just about enough that I’d had to explain more than once that I wasn’t actually Brazilian.

DAVID BECKHAM AND HIS FREE-KICKS
If everyone could forget David Beckham, it will certainly not be the newly elect FC Barcelona president who used the former England captain fame to rise to the pinnacle of FC Barcelona affair in 2003. David Beckham might not have played for Barcelona and however played for the Catalan arch rival, Real Madrid, but his name changed the course of presidential election among Barcelona rank in 2003 and such was the fame and pedigree that the former England winger pose in the game.

Undertaker WrestleMania dream match
This weekend (at the time of this article being published) is the first WrestleMania since the Undertaker's official retirement in 2020. So I got to thinking of a wrestler who unfortunately never got their chance to wrestle The Deadman at WrestleMania. As a quick refresher Taker retired with a record of 25-2, only having lost to Brock Lesnar 2014 and Roman Reigns in 2017. However in my bizarro world The Streak hasn't been broken yet, and this dream match will replace Roman's match from 2017. Will The Streak eventually be broken in this world? Maybe, but also maybe not. However The Streak still being intact is important to this booking.

The Top 10 Most Popular WWE Wrestlers
10.Shawn Michaels He is HBH, The Heartbreak Kid. He was introduced as “The Showstopper” and “The Headliner.” He was part of Degeneration X with Triple H. He was athletic and inspired, which is even more amazing considering that he almost retired in 1998 with two herniated discs. Though he was involved in controversies like “The Montreal Screwjob” that victimized Bret Hart, Michaels has acquitted himself well with his all around entertainment and skills. His signature move was his “Sweet Chin Music.”

Who has the worst fans?
I will try to be a non-bias as possible. Being that I am a born and raised West Coast girl and whether I am watching the sports media from all over the country or games with fans, I must say that I do feel that East Coast sports teams as well as their fans have a more notorious history. People in the East Coast take sports very seriously. It is not to say that the West Coast doesn’t take it seriously as well or have crazy fans, however I do not hear as many stories about fan bases and traditions like I do in the East Coast.

BOWLING FOREVER
Bowling is one of the games in the world that families can enjoy without worrying about hurting someone. It is a great getaway thing that you can plan with your friends and family in your local bowling alley to enjoy a friendly game along with your favorite beverages. Another great thing about bowling is that there is no age limit on who can play and who cannot. A kid who can lift and throw the ball along the line to strike the pins is qualified to play without any issue.
