It seems funny considering that Argentina possibly pulled off the great escape, only for the world media to intensely focus on Messi actually giving the team a pep talk. After all, Messi is the captain, but team talks were never his speciality. I read an article on ESPN stating that 'Ronaldo, not Messi, is closer to Maradona'. In that article it stated on how Ronaldo craved the attention of his teammates and would say 'don't worry guys, I got this', but Messi due to his introvert nature would say 'Hey don't look at me.' Looks like Messi read that article as well. And Argentina won. It wasn't a blow away win, they literally scraped through to the last 16. But they did it, and I'm happy. I mean not that super Maradona-gets-heart-attack-style-happy, but happy. They now face France. While normally speaking neither France nor Argentina would want to face another 'top team' so early,  neither of them are any close to being a 'top team&#

If you have a Bentley, there is a general consensus that you are a rich person. Most people can't afford to buy a house and pay their mortgage, but there you are driving in your all-new Bentley, purring through the roads, cocooned in your veritable carbon fibre cage of leather, and enough wood to replant the Amazon and still have a few left. You see a Rolls, and you are like, gah, I wish I had that, but your Bentley ain't too bad. Then a Pagani passes by, followed by a Koenigsegg, and then several other supercars whose name you find it supremely difficult to pronounce. They are all looking at you like who is the underling. You start slouching in your seat, your gold-digger girlfriend, or boyfriend, starts looking at you with a little bit of shame and disgust. And you question yourself, ' Have I failed in life?' Yes, you have. Cuz even though a Bentley is a status symbol, it is definitely nowhere close to the likes of these wonderful cars. My personal favourites, it i

Now if you Neymar fans read my previous article ( Why I Still Support Argentina), you would say 'He is a Messi fan, of course, he won't support Neymar.', let me make this very clear. Neymar is my second most favourite player in the world. After Messi of course. I'm a huge Barcelona fan, and I love the way Neymar plays. His deep jinking runs, his ridiculous jaw-dropping array of skills. Except for his new Maggi hairstyle, Neymar is a player who I admire. A Barca fan can never forget when the MSN ( Messi, Suarez, Neymar in case you lived under a cave with peanut butter in your ears), thrashed other teams, great teams, to win the treble. The trio had scored 120 + goals that season. Their collective stats make Mo Salah look like a second-tier player. So why doesn't Neymar deserve FIFA's top individual honour? Cuz he's a serial diver, you doofus. He dived when playing for Barcelona as well, but at least the dives looked a little like a foul. Many player'

You really have to wonder how far Argentina has fallen since 2016. That year they made it to the Copa America finals. I remember reading a news article on how Messi hoped to be 'third time lucky'. They had lost the 2014 World Cup finals. Lost to Chile in the 2015 Copa America. The expectation was high. They had beaten Chile on the way to the finals. But in the finals, against Chile, they screwed up. That was the first time I saw Messi win the Miss Penalty award in the finals. Turns out 'third time's the charm' was really never going to work out. But now with their Group Stage exit looming, Argentina need to be 'third time lucky' and hope Iceland or Nigeria decide to pack their bags a little early. A mini miracle is what they need. They need Iceland to lose to Croatia, and they themselves have to beat Nigeria. Why call this a mini-miracle? Because Iceland could probably lose to Croatia, but worryingly Argentina may not be able to beat the Africans. So bad

My analysis might be too premature, but forgive me for saying this...all the favourites have started miserably for their world cup campaigns. Spain drew with an inspired Cristiano and a Karius De Gea. Argentina drew against Iceland where Lionel Messi won the Miss Penalty beauty pageant. Again. So-called top favourite Brazil drew against Switzerland. Perhaps Neymar wanted access to free chocolates. And worst of all Germany lost to salsa..I mean Mexico. France did beat Australia but they barely scraped by due to some poor Aussie finishing. And talking about finishing Mexico could have absolutely destroyed Germany. But poor Mexican finishing, like visa, or immigration, let them down. They still got 3 points. Which is a lot better than the rest of the favourites barring the 'Baguette Army'. Mexico was absolutely terrifying their mighty opposition. Apart from one Werner chance, Mexico was amazing. They were playing smooth exquisite football, the likes you expect to see from Arg

DISCLAIMER - THIS ARTICLE IS MEANT AS A JOKE, AN ATTEMPT AT DEADPAN HUMOUR. IF ANYONE IS OFFENDED. NO OFFENCE. When you read the title you are like 'Huh, can Russia actually win the world cup?' Your mind soon conjures up images of Bieber actually singing proper songs, Santa actually giving presents or you actually getting accepted to the Ivy League by writing an essay about How you Peed in your Pants. Nah, impossible right. Doesn't make sense, does it? You think you are more likely to escape the fabled 'Friendzone' land than see some player whose name you can hardly pronounce, without properly being Russian, getting his hands on the title. Nah, man. But Leicester actually won the premier league, didn't they? Trump and Kim actually agreed on something, didn't they? And I'm sure if you are descriptively unique enough in your essay 'How I peed in my pants' you just might get into the top institutions. ( Bieber and Santa just can't b

Ever since 3d printing became a socio-cultural fad (like driving Teslas in California, or tweeting about Trump on Twitter), some very smart scientists have wondered whether they could theoretically pump out human organs from the metal behemoths of printers to address the organ transplant shortage. Tissue engineering has always been a widely awesome field ( especially for the people who actually understand wtf is going on) but has and is also widely expensive, so the possibility of building your own 3d printer to print out a set of abs and sticking it to your body easily and cheaply may be the best thing since sliced bread. What is tissue engineering? Tissue engineering is in the sense a very self-explanatory term ( like calling someone dumb or stupid). It is basically combining a lot of biological thingies ( cells, biomedical methods, other external factors) into generating the desired tissue. Be it Dwayne Johnson's biceps, or Kim K's gluteus maximus, tissue engineering ha

Admit it kind guys are sexy guys. Guys who work not only for themselves but for the less able community around them are generally considered confidential. They also have a Ferrari in their garage. And wear stuff which we can't pronounce. Confident cool, the new normal right? To be honest we are not here to talk about guys. We are here to talk about how eradicating poverty and why it is a necessity. And since most HomoSapiens' main necessity = achieving normalness acceptance in society, therefore, by mathematical induction, Eradicating poverty should be the new normal. The idea of poverty has changed several times since humans invented the concept of money. Previously just shiny little toys you used to keep in your undies to show how big your balls were, to today's greenbacks which actually rule society, money is probably more powerful than all the heads of states combined. The base concept of poverty is the same: lack of food, clothing and shelter. But definition
