We will probably never get an unequivocal answer to the eternal question "Who is the better footballer, Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?", probably also because they are quite different in character and because they play for the teams, Barcelona and Real, which in football the biggest rivalry reigns. Fortunately, the statistics are so broad that Messi and Ronaldo, who are hungry for goals and victories, can share the records. Which only complicates the answer to the question, Leo or CR7?

Soccer player Zlatan Ibrahimović considers himself God, at least that's what he once said himself. Yes, the Swedish virtuoso with the ball has no hair on his tongue and is therefore a regular guest of the press not only for his antics on the football pitch, but also for his sarcastic statements and actions off the pitch. And while the world is talking about 50 shades of gray, Ibra, who as the Almighty does not like the situation, took matters into his own hands and shifted the debate to the shades that really count, on 50 temporary tattoos, the names of starving people, symbolizing 805 million hungry people around the world.
There will always be haters, and who but soccer superstars Luis Suarez, James Rodriguez, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale, the stars of Adidas' latest promotional video, know this very well. . And as Adidas says when announcing the latest pairs of sports shoes, the adizero f50, Predator, Nitrocharge and 11Pro, "Having enemies is the greatest compliment".
After his Portugal had to quickly pack their bags at the World Cup in Brazil, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo quickly licked his wounds at Real Madrid, where he remains a goal-scoring machine this season as well (17 goals in 9 games). In fact, he continues where he left off, as last year in La Liga he diligently saved the opponent's net and won his third golden boot with 31 goals.
London's Chealsea was not exactly a friendly host for Maribor, as Jasmin Handanović had to go for the ball in the goal as many as six times. No wonder that the Brazilian from Styria, Marcos Tavares, summed up his impressions after the match in "I feel very Brazilian today". Although the English club's form under Jose Mourinho is frightening, Chelsea's boys are not as baffling as they may seem during a match on the pitch.
For all football connoisseurs, there is no better goal from distance than the one scored by Milenko Ačimovič against Ukraine on November 13, 1999 at the Bezigraj Stadium in the 84th minute. But the world is still full of "Ačimovičs" to whom even our former footballer would bow, and the last of them would be Moritz Stoppelkamp, who a few days ago set a new milestone in the German Bundesliga with a goal from a distance of 82.3 meters.
The match between Celtic and Maribor for qualification to the UEFA Champions League was the sporting event of the year, as 340,000 Slovenians watched it on television. Only you can now afford the incredibly cute reaction of the Scottish commentator, who is visibly desperate after Maribor's goal.
FIFA 2014 is a phenomenal PC game. Not only can we quickly master football tricks - much faster than in reality - it simulates reality so well that it is only a touch or they pass away from real football. No wonder, then, that it's probably the most important side hustle in a gamer's life. So much so that reality mimics virtual reality and not the other way around.
The reuse of Brazil's stadiums for this year's World Cup is a phenomenal idea that definitely deserves to be realized. Let's look at an interesting concept that kills two birds with one stone.
"I love to kick" is no ordinary handball table. Its frame is made of cardboard, and its most exposed parts are made of wood. This means that after the end of her career she can be 'retrained' or 100% recycle. Because it has a dual identity, it can turn itself into a portable folder in a few moves, which are otherwise not as superb as those of Messi, which indirectly takes away its long-standing status as an innkeeper.
Each World Cup in football serves up delicacies and glorious moments, but on the other hand, also with incidents, the number of which seems to only increase over the years, both in terms of quantity and 'quality'. Or not. Once upon a time, there were not so many cameras, so many lenses, and many things could remain hidden. But not the following ten moves that have put their main players on the blacklist of footballers.
Do you perhaps know which of the best soccer players was also punished with a card the most times? Which team in World Cup history was the worst of the best? How long is the longest hymn? The present of the soccer world championships is exciting because of the matches, and the past because of many unusual but lesser-known facts. We present 10 of them.
