Raising scholarship funding in the memory of the former football standout, the sweltering heat of the day could have easily zapped the strength of the fans and players in attendance. But the elements didn’t stand a chance against the driving force of this family and friendship fueled event, according to Nick’s Mother Myriam De La Pava.

World Cup in Qatar will be one of the best ever
World Cup in Qatar raised and still raises many questions. From bribery affairs in organizing the event to the civil rights of (dead) workers who built stadiums. Some cultural limitations didn’t help either. However, one thing bothered me the most. Timing. But not in the wrong way. In a way, nobody saw that as an opportunity of experiencing one of the best tournaments ever.

Titans Prove They're a Contender with Win Over Packers
It looked like the old Tennessee Titans were back with their 30-27 victory over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field last Sunday.

Here are three key takeaways from the Titans' big win over Green Bay.

Is World Cup in Qatar a last chance for Belgium’s golden generation?
World Cup in Qatar starts shortly. Teams are already counting their injured players. The ones that are lucky and qualitative enough will make it to the tournament. There are quite a lot of favorites. Brasil, Argentina, France, Germany … but I’ve been thinking about one for quite a long time. Belgium. Their golden generation has probably the last chance to win something.

Why spending 0£ in a transfer market will hunt you down
I recently explained why getting too many players in a transfer window can’t work. Now, we’ll look at the complete opposite. Why a strategy of not spending a single £ on a transfer market will also hunt you down. Or at least prevent you from achieving some greater things. The case of Leicester City has encouraged me to clarify it in detail.

Here's a look back at some great Fox Lane Sports moments. Relay 4X400 Team Gets Ready for Millrose Games The Millrose Games are about as prestigious as it gets for track and field athletes.

John Jay Settles for Tie Versus Byram Hills
On Monday, September 12, John Jay took to Contest Field and hoped to begin a winning streak against Byram Hills. Controlling the play in the first half, the Wolves were unable to grab a lead. So the Bobcats did the honors and jumped out to a 1-0 lead moments after intermission. The irony was not lost on the home team either. “It was like a slap in the face,” said Shannon Nolan, and the girls responded with two goals to take the lead. But two overtime periods passing, John Jay still had to go home with half a smile.

Where has all gone wrong for Aaron Wan-Bissaka?
Going to EURO 2020 England had a lot of great options at right-back. Kieran Trippier, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Reece James, and Kyle Walker were calling for their place among the starting 11. England manager Gareth Southgate took advantage of such luxury and shared the playing time among them to maintain freshness in the team. However, the fifth option Aaron Wan-Bissaka was never in the contest to join the tournament’s squad despite playing really well for the club. Today, he looks as far away from Three Lions as he has ever been. So, where has everything gone wrong for him?
