World Cup 2026
Football/Soccer
Come On England
The winner in tonight’s game will join France and Spain for the Semi Finals. To complete the four teams for the semi will be the winner between Argentina and Switzerland whose game is slated for Sunday at 2am.
Not doing that again, I mean the 2.am. I stayed up for the England game vs Mexico and I ended up the worst for wear for at least a couple of days. I was like a zombie not only because of the lack of sleep but the game between England and Mexico was really intense. I would say that that was the best game England had in this world cup so far. They really put their all, for once🤣. I was screaming all the time so I symphatised with Harry Kane with his hoarse voice during the post game interview where he sounded like a tired smurf. Hilariously heartwarming. I was literally rolling on the floor at 5am listening to his bashful helium voice. Still makes me chuckle now.
Anyway, the game tonight should be an exciting one as we are now heading to the endgame of a world cup. Do I mention 1966 again?🤣🤣🤣
12 July 2026: England won against Norway. 2-1. England is through to the Semi-final. Next game is against Argentina.

Zhao Lusi
Weibo
9 May 2024: It was really out of the blue when #ZhaoLusi was officially announced by the 2024 Paris Olympics committee as one of the 50 rigorously selected torchbearers to welcome the game. Everyone was caught off guard that it immediately trended in ‘Weibo and other social media outlets.
This is a welcome news for Kelulis everywhere as well as China itself.
Zhao Lusi’s global popularity cannot be denied.
17 May 2024: Lusi left Chengdu for Toullouse, France where she was met by rapturous pockets of fans patiently waited for her at the airport.
18 May 2024: Today is the day!
Lusi will carry the Olympic Torch during Stage 10 at Gers.
Lusi had the time of her life. She really enjoyed the moment. Her happiness was so contagious, it was charming and adorable watching her doing her bit.
A job well done, Zhao Lusi!
Jiayou.
Olympics Game
Tokyo Olympic 2020
Tokyo Olympics 2020
The Tokyo Olympics 2020 opening ceremony was rather quiet.
I was expecting some wow moments but I have to admit, I found it rather underwhelming.
I heard the preparation had been beset by too many problems and controversy, including, of course, Covid-19, drugs, sex scandals, and bullying of disabled students.
The scandals were just coming one after another that their major sponsor, Toyota, did not want to be part of it and cancelled their endorsement contract.
But despite all these, I hope we have a successful Olympic game.
Ganbatte, Tokyo!!!

This explains why this year’s championship is still called UEFA EURO 2020.
The next one will be in 2024.
