My Weekly Reflection T2W9

This week I have become a proud supporter of Lionel Messi writing that I tink that he is the footballing GOAT.

For my Matariki creation, I worked with Leon and Daniel to create a star out of dominos. It didn't work very well as it stopped but then on Friday the Paua and I created a turtle out of dominos and it worked!

Next week I think I need to work on writing my blog posts about something other than football.

Confusion At The Confederations Cup As Referee Shows A Red Card To The Wrong Player

At the latest Confederations Cup match in Russia, the new VAR (Video Assistant Referee) has come under fire after causing confusion an hour into Germany vs Cameroon.

With about an hour gone Ernest Mabouka fouled German and Liverpool midfielder Emre Can. With the referee not knowing what happened, he decided to check the VAR. After reviewing all the replays he made his decision. The ref sent of Sebastian Siana who was not involved with the foul in any way. This then caused outrage from the Cameroon players making the ref check the VAR once more. Eventually, he came to the conclusion that he had sent off the wrong player and then showed red to  Ernest Mabouka. Naughty Ernest.

My Weekly Reflection T2W8

This week I am proud of winning the weekly current events quiz as I usually come second or third.

I think I need to work on multiplying fractions on Mangahigh as I find this really challenging.

Next week my goal is to write a blog post about Liverpool FC.

This Bus Can Drive Right Over Traffic Jams

Engineers in China have designed a bus to combat their severe traffic jams. This bus has a hole through the middle which lets cars drive through it or the bus drive over the cars.

These buses are able to carry 1,400 passengers at a time and are cheaper than the subway. The buses glide on rails and can only follow a set path. Maybe they should install some of these in Auckland's Waterview Tunnel.

Could Football As We Know It Be Coming To An End?

Warning, this post contains horrific crimes against football.

Ifab the organization who make up football rules has put forward a case to Fifa to make games 60 minutes instead of 90. Ifab calls their case play fair with three main points.
 1. To increase playing time??
2. To improve player respect and behavior.
3.To increase attractiveness.

For one how will making the game shorter increase playing time and how will it improve the behavior of the players??

Another suggestion from Ifab was to make players be allowed to pass to themselves at free kicks which would be kind of cool.

If these rules go ahead I wonder how long the Python's games would be? 15 minutes?

Why Paul Pogba Is So Overated

Paul Pogba, the poster boy of world football. The king of dabbing when it is so out of date. But is he even that good?

Pogba was world class at Italian giants Juventus but after a highly speculated move to Manchester United for 89 million pounds the French midfielder flopped. Even with Pogba's drop of form, open goal misses and dabbing the ball the media have constantly reported him as sensational.

Another reason that Pogba is overrated would no doubt be his sponsorship deal with Adidas. I have particularly noticed Adidas putting up massive posters of Pogba at Stirling Spots. Pogba may seem like a football beast but stats and his performance shows that he is not as good as he seems.

Highlanders Just Scrape Past The Lions At Forsyth Bar

Last night at Forsyth Bar the Highlanders had a narrow win against the Lions. The game started with an extremely high tempo with the commentator even stating that the first three minutes had been incredible. The first half finished at 10-10 after an amazing try from Waisake Naholo. With a number of tries in the second half, the game drew to a close at 22-23 to the Highlanders. This was the first game of rugby I have watched in a long time and I loved it.

What Makes A Good Football Shirt

There are some amazing football shirts out there. BVB, PSG, Brazil, Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Germany, Portugal, Croatia, Colombia. These teams and clubs all have distinctive and pretty sick playing shirts. But what makes a great football shirt?

I think a splash of colour makes all the difference in a football shirt. For example, the Barcelona shirt has vibrant red and blue making it stand out and easily recognisable. I also think that a few intricate lines can make a shirt look awesome like the Portugal Shirt.

Here are some of my favourite football shirts,

What Did Ronaldo Do To The Most Legendary Hair Of All Time

If you won the Champions League Final how would you celebrate? Well, Ronaldo thought that he would shave off the most legendary hair of all time to celebrate his teams victory. Looking at the pictures I can now confirm Ronaldo was probably drunk when he did this.

Ronaldo got an extremely short buzz cut making him almost unrecognisable. Now he looks more like Ben Franks than Cristiano Ronaldo as we knew him.

On an online survey, people have voted on what Ronaldo hairstyle they like best. Here are the results.

My Weekly Reflection Term 2 Week 6

This week I found Mangahigh challenging because I did not know what simplify 6X+3. I learned what it meant in a Mangahigh conference with Miss Coles.

I am also happy because I have finished my-my future milestone video which is about me wrecking everyone. I found editing slightly challenging as the iMac was a bit slow:(

My highlight of the week was filming and editing my milestone video because I love making movies and videos like Hitchy's Caretaking Service. This video has got me really excited for the MADE awards as I did it last year and won.

Top 10 Champions League Goals 2016/17

As the Champions League draws to a close we have to celebrate by seeing the best goals of the 2016/17 season.

Transfer Rumours: Utd and Chelsea Want Dybala

Here are the latest transfer rumours, Man Utd are apparently after Paulo Dybala after failing to sign Atletico Madrid star Antione Greizmanne. Meanwhile, Chelsea is after Dybala with the threat of losing Eden Hazard to Real Madrid.

Also, rumour has it that German mega club Bayern Munich is after Everton striker Romelu Lakaku. Lakaku has recently rejected a new contract with Everton for the new premier league season.

Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres is set for a move to Mexican club Queretaro. Torres apparently has had talks about moving with the club owners.

Real Madrid Champions Again

Real Madrid has become champions of the Champions League once again with Ronny (Ronaldo) putting two goals past Juve keeper Gianluigi Buffon to help guide Real to a 4-1 win on Sunday night.

Real got on the score sheet early after a long range effort from Ronaldo but Mario Mandzuckic sublime overhead goal completely eclipsed Ronaldo's. Mandzuckic's goal is being regarded as one of the greatest Champions League final goals ever. I myself think it should win the Puskas Goal of The Year award.
