China unveils plan to achieve global soccer domination

China has announced that they will be trying to encourage people to play more soccer. They are doing this because they claim, that by the year 2050 the country will turn into a “soccer powerhouse.” With this being said, they are also going to be willing to challenge world's top teams. I find this quite interesting because you would never think that a country will want to force a sport amongst their own people. However it’ll also be interesting to see what kind of competition they will bring!

Baby Saved from being killed from an Earthquake:

In the Japan’s Kyushu island, there was an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 which has caused houses to collapse. This has prevented the use of heavy equipment in the island. No one would had expected that an earthquake with this huge magnitude would have a survivor of an 8 month old baby girl. After being trapped for 6 hours, she was found under the house that has collapsed after the earthquake. Thankfully, there was no injuries to the baby and her family is safe.

NFL Teams Eager to Forgive and Forget Josh Gordon's Past

Since this player has so much raw talent the coaches are willing to have a trouble maker on the team. He has failed multiple drug tests. He also has way too many suitors to keep up with. He is barely 25 and he has such a record with the NFL. They say that he has too much talent to let go and if they do other teams are bound to pick him up.

Kobe’s Finale

NBA History was made when Kobe Bryant played his last game for the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz. On top of the victory, Kobe was able to end his last game by scoring 60 points. Although it was his last game, his fans will certainly would never forget about him. Kobe has left a great impact and would always be remembered for playing in the LA Lakers. I believe this is a amazing but sad moment because a great basketball player will not be continuing to play.

Barcelona: Luis Enrique takes blame for Champions League exit

"The team are sad. We aren't at our best at the moment, nor our most effective," he said.

"I'm 99.9% to blame, no 100. That's why I am the coach, the most responsible. We all have to improve."

Antoine Griezmann scored both goals for Atletico at the Vicente Calderon, while Lionel Messi failed to net for the fifth club game in a row.

"It is clear that we are not in our best form, especially if you consider how we were playing before, but we need to lift ourselves," added Enrique.

It is only the third time in 11 years that Barcelona have not reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. Barcelona did not qualify to enter champions league tournament finals.
