Football became more and more weak in terms of expression, of quality, of color. Already wrote about this, now I’ll point my finger on the World Cup 2022 from Qatar, which will be played in an unusual place, in an unusual time period.

Running in the rain and accelerating over the mud: Brașov Intersport Halfmarathon
Did you see “The Miracle of Bern”? It is a great movie, about the World Cup final from 1954, when West Germany beat 3-2 Hungary, “The mighty Magyars”, who led 2-0 in 10 minute and, most importantly, won 8-3 in the group stage. There are several theories of what happened there and the most interesting…
Giulești Stadium – the complete history
On 26th of March 2022 the new built Giulești Stadium is being opened in a outstanding ceremony of eight hours. It is an historic moment, without any doubt.

Who will win the UEFA Champion’s League 2021-2022?
The quarter-finals of the Champions League are about to start, and now I am curious about who you think will be the “lucky” one this year.

Have nothing to do? Then go and run 70 kilometers in two days: Sibiu, Hunedoara, Deva
Since I’ve started to run, I’ve encountered all kinds of races and in some years, like for example in 2019, when I wasn’t afraid I would embarrass myself, I’ve gone to more than 30 running events. I have already told you and written quite a lot about some of them, but never about this specific…
Adrian Mutu, the giant with legs of dust – about Rapid Bucharest
Fists pressed in the air, Adrian Mutu celebrates the third victory in a row as Rapid Bucharest coach. The percentage is beautiful, but the truth is far from glamorous. Rapid beat Academica Clinceni, 1-0, their second victory in the same manner since Mutu joined the club, against the same opponent. In between, there was a…
Sven Rydell, the record holder from another era
Swedish sportsmen look like having something special from the beginning of sport history. Sven Rydell is no different than that. If you check whom has the most hat-tricks from football history, this guy stands out a bit. I mean, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, he has the most hat-tricks scored for a national team, Sweden. Truth been…

I like avocado a lot and I’ve just notice also the passion that Salt Bae has for this fruit recently. Some short movies with an amusing “Avocadoooo”. Don’t know any other details about this, I am just amused by it and I am trying to share with you some tips and benefits that avocado brings…
