It Began With Dinho
During my childhood, I heard many kids talk about their sports idols! I heard the names like Derek Jeter, Lebron James, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps, Floyd Mayweather, and to me at the time, these amazing athletes never stuck with me for some odd reason. Now, out of all these amazing athletes, only one stuck for me, and his name was Ronaldinho! Now, many people are going to read this and say, "well of course dude, you were probably a soccer fan," but that actually wasn't the case. I knew of soccer obviously but I had never played or watch the sport as a fan. To me the sport that stuck when I was young kid was basketball, but the only thing I truly knew about it professionally was that Michael Jordan was in Space Jam and he was a freak of nature. Now, that being said, I never got to witness this phenom play live, only got to hear about how amazing he was, and got to see some clips of him in the playoffs. So, that wasn't so affectionate to me because I hadn't experienced it during my time.

Preview: Groups D and E
Group D South American giants Argentina are the first up, and they should make sure not to underestimate their Group D opponents. It could well be the last World Cup for Lionel Messi and therefore his last chance to crown a magnificent career. Unfortunately, I think their final appearance in Brazil four years was the best chance for Messi to win the greatest prize in international football. They will, of course, be one of the sides to look out for. They usually always are. This is more likely when you look at some of the names in their squad. As well as Messi, Sergio Aguero Gonzalo Higuain, and Angela Di Maria will be on show in Russia and with all of these on form, the top spot in Group D will be Argentina’s for the taking.
