The Women's World Cup recently concluded in Australia where Spain reigned victorious and took home the trophy, beating close favorites England. To achieve this, they overcame strong sides like Sweden and the Netherlands while missing Alexia Putellas, a Women's Ballon d'Or frontrunner, due to injury.

These are called boxing trilogies, and they are reserved...
In the pugilistic sport of Boxing, the same two opponents locking horns more than once is a rarity. After the initial clash, it becomes obvious which of the two is the better man, and the participants and spectators understand that there remains no reason for a rematch. However, in hotly contested bouts, whether through great tenacity displayed in the...
In spite of Ronaldo's recent achievements in Saudi Arabia, many, many soccer fans across the globe have concluded that Ronaldo is worse than Messi.

In this article, I will silence the Ronaldo haters by laying out...
