After the final match with Germany and Argentina, The 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil is finally over in 32 days .
Germany were robbed of the World Cup in 24 years and all you soccer fans wait until the next World Cup once again.
A lot of things happended during this World Cup.
It at once pleases and disappoints them depends on winning or losing a match. Furthermore it led to the outbreak of mutiny.
Many things happened  as just soccer game .
Therefore, It seems the soccer called to other religions. 
It's fascinating that citizens all across the world become one for mind games.
I felt to seeing the 2014 World Cup game that It's not perfect and anybody's guess due to make a human ITFA.
If a player does great job, they can lose becase of low ability of their team.
Or a team has good skill, but they also can lose due to one person's mistake or inaccurate judgment.
It seems that our life are same  with World Cup surrounede by many cases. 
As we wait the next World Cup with the end of the World Cup, today let us pull out all the sopts and have ourselves a good time.
I hope we can plan our future as the host the next World Cup.   

peace ♡

A man stopped war, Tébily Didier Yves Drogba

A man stopped war

TIME 100: The Most Influential People in the World

African Footballer of the Year: 2006, 2009

Tébily Didier Yves Drogba, known as Didier Drogba, is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Galatasaray in the Süper Lig.

He played football every day in a car park in the city when he was young with happiness. After playing in youth teams and professinal teams, In the summer of 2004, Drogba moved to Chelsea for a club record £24 million fee, making him the most expensive Ivorian player in history. In his debut season he helped the club win their first league title in 50 years, and a year later he won another Premier League title. In 2006–07, Drogba scored 33 goals, won the Premier League Golden Boot and scored the winning goals in both the League Cup and FA Cup finals. He won the FA Cup for a second time in 2009, scoring the equaliser in the final, and in 2009–10 was instrumental in Chelsea clinching their first double, winning his second Golden Boot and scoring the only goal in the 2010 FA Cup Final.

 But what makes Drogba special is Didier’s humanitarian efforts.  He is a class-act as a man, and that trumps the fact that he is a football legend.
Weeks before the World Cup 2006 in Germany, his native Ivory Coast was in a state of upheaval as civil war spread throughout his homeland. Drogba announced that he would not compete in the tournament unless the fighting would stop.  Quite a bold move when you consider the violence, and how he might just have put himself in the crosshairs.  The citizens of Ivory Coast responded to his request and put down their weapons.  Quite literally, he had the star power to make a difference, and did just that, saving countless lives along the way.  We will never know how many generations in Cote D’Ivoire owe their lives to Didier Drogba.

This week Drogba was at it again.  Pepsi endorsed him $3 million USD for his MVP role in helping Chelsea FC to a Champions League title.  Drogba had plans for the money, but they weren’t to buy a car or fund the purchase of a yacht or some other high-falutent purchase.  Rather, on the same day he received the money, he donated it, all $3 million, to help build a badly-needed hospital in his hometown of Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

These selfless acts prove his character.  He truly believes in helping others.  In the world today, I believe athletes in major sports are making way too much money, and as a result, I think it becomes increasingly important that they give back to their community. I wish more athletes, celebrities and CEO’s would give back to the community like Drogba has done, whether that is through financial contributions as Drogba has done, or by acting as role models for our children.  If they did, the world would be a better place.

Peaceful Men [Nelson Mandela]



Nelson Mandela was born in a small South African village, to a local chief and his third wife. He was the first person in his family to receive a western education, and was inspired to study law after witnessing the democracy of African tribal governance at an early age. Mandela became a sought after lawyer in Johannesburg, defending black South Africans against the government’s increasingly unfair treatment, and a key figure of the African National Congress, a political party that sought to unite all Africans and regain their rights and freedom. He participated in boycotts, organized protests, mobilized his people and, in turn, was labeled an enemy of the state: accused of treason, banned from political involvement, disbarred and sentenced to life in prison. Mandela’s incarceration brought international attention to the racial injustices of South Africa’s apartheid government, sparking the rally cry “Free Nelson Mandela” worldwide.Mandela served 27 years in prison, before his release in 1990, at the age of 72. He was elected the first black President of South Africa, in 1994. Although he retired from political life in 1999, Mandela continues to lend his voice towards issues that affect his country and the world at large, such as the AIDS epidemic, poverty and human rights. He was also instrumental in securing South Africa as the host of the 2010 Soccer World Cup.Nelson Mandela is one of the world’s greatest, and most admired political leaders. He has been honored with numerous awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize, for he is a shining example of the incredible strength of the human spirit to persevere, in the face of adversity, for the pursuit of freedom.
