The Ballon d’Or is the most prestigious individual prize in football. The award is presented by French news magazine ‘France Football’ to the best performing individual of the season. The winner of the Ballon d’Or is chosen on the basis of a combination of votes from media representatives, national team captains and coaches. Karim Benzema picked up the much-coveted award in 2022. The race for the 2023 Ballon d’Or is well and truly on, and the results of the 2022 FIFA World Cup are likely to have a huge say on the outcome. Without further ado, let’s take a look…

Li Yong About 11 days ago, Li Yong was on her way to her parents’ home when she noticed a kitten on the side of the road, looking in her direction. She approached him and reached her hand out to see if he was friendly. “He sniffed my fingers, got right up, and started following me,” Li told Love Meow. The kitten rubbed against her legs as if to ask her to pet him. After a few strokes on the back, he plopped down on the ground, revealed his belly, and was ready for more rubs. Li Yong When she…

Materials scientists have been working with archaeologists and historians for many years, attempting to unlock the fascinating secrets of Roman Empire concrete-making technologies and techniques, which allowed the Romans to construct some of the most enduring monuments the world has ever seen. In a new study published in Science Advances , researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, assisted by experts from laboratories in Germany and Switzerland, have disclosed what they believe is the key fact that explains why Roman concrete was of such high quality. The Legacy of Roman Architecture Among their greatest accomplishments, the ancient Romans perfected…

Was the Garden of Eden a Real Place? Mention the Garden of Eden to a group of friends and you are likely to get as many suggestions on its true location as people you ask, plus a fair number who will deny that it was ever a real place at all. Places that have been claimed as the true whereabouts of mankind’s original home include numerous sites in Iraq and around the Persian Gulf, Bahrain, Iran, Anatolia, Armenia, Turkey, Jerusalem, east Africa – and even the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, and Jackson County, Missouri. And those are just the better…

In a 2019 interview, Real Madrid superstar Eden Hazard made his pick between the two best players of the generation, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The then-Chelsea player said that Messi is the ‘Greatest of All Time’ (GOAT), adding that his whole family worshipped the Argentine. With 12 Ballons d’Or between them, Ronaldo and Messi are the two most accomplished players in history, at least in terms of individual glory. The Argentine has won it all in club and international football, with the 2022 FIFA World Cup being the latest addition to his trophy cabinet. Ronaldo may not have tasted…

Great Zimbabwe was the first major city in southern Africa, home to an estimated 18,000 people at its peak. Yet no one really knows why it now lies in ruins. The demise of the once-thriving Medieval metropolis is sometimes boiled down to drought and a drying climate, but archaeologists have now found evidence of careful water conservation amid the wreckage. A team of researchers from Denmark, South Africa, England, and Zimbabwe argue that a series of large, circular depressions known as ‘dhaka’ pits, found around the city, were not used for digging up clay, as experts once thought, but for capturing water.…

Marcus Rashford assisted twice against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday to secure a 5-0 aggregate win in the Carabao Cup semi-finals. United entered with 3-0 advantage Dominate possession Rashford records two second-half assists TELL ME MORE: Nottingham Forest produced a handful of half-chances, most notably a close-range shot from Emmanuel Dennis likely on its way past Tom Heaton before it struck team-mate Sam Surridge. But at Old Trafford, with Erik ten Hag fielding a strong line-up that included Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes, there was little chance of the visitors ever putting a scare into the Red Devils. In fact, the biggest worry…

After the highs of Argentina’s World Cup triumph in the Qatar World Cup final against France, Lionel Messi is facing some lows at his club Paris Saint-Germain. Messi and France star Kylian Mbappe went toe-to-toe in an epic battle at the Lusail Stadium in December, with Argentina eventually emerging as champions. It was expected that the return of Messi and Mbappe, along with Brazil’s Neymar, would rejuvenate the Parisians. But that has not been the case. PSG have won just one of four league games this month – including a 1-1 draw against Reims on Sunday – and manager Christophe Galtier has been forced to deny the theory that…

Stretty News predicts Manchester United’s line-up for the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Nottingham Forest. Manchester United already have one foot in the Carabao Cup final after winning the first leg 3-0 at the City Ground. Steve Cooper’s Nottingham Forest side have little to no chance of coming back from that, even though Erik ten Hag has the opportunity to rest several key players. That said, we all know that underestimating our opponents is a recipe for disaster, though there will be the temptation to rotate the squad. Jack Butland could make his debut between the posts after joining…

The January transfer window is set to end today and it is expected to be one of the most dramatic deadline days in the history of the sport.

They are of course attempting to tie up a deal to sign Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez before the deadline this evening, and this might mean there is scope for Chelsea to allow a…
