2014 World Cup – Cristiano Ronaldo Making Us Hate Him Even More
It’s not easy being Cristiano Ronaldo. The money, the talent, the fame, the woman. Wait, that doesn’t sounds that bad, does it?

2014 World Cup – Trends of Comebacks & Goals Continue
There’s a pattern to this world cup and it simply won’t go away. It’s not just the abundance of goals which makes us feel like we’re back in the 1950s when teams played with three defenders and seven attacking players, but knowing that scoring first means absolutely nothing, as Switzerland became the next team to not let an early slip ruin their day.
