Coronavirus (COVID-19) UK Prime Minister tests positive

27/3/2020

Boris Johnson United Kingdom Prime Minister has tested positive for the Coronavirus.

Mr. Johnson posted on his Twitter feed a few hours ago that he developed mild symptoms of the virus over the last 24 hours. He was apparently given personal advise yesterday by the UK Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty to have himself tested after he developed a persistent cough and temperature. The PM was tested by National Health Service (NHS) staff at Number 10 Downing Street.

Two days ago on Wednesday 25th March it was announced that the heir to the British throne Prince Charles the Prince of Wales had tested positive after developing mild symptoms of the virus.

Both the UK Prime Minister and the heir to the British throne are now both self isolating at home. However the PM will not be taking any time off work. He will be using technology to communicate with his ministers and is still in charge of running the country.

FIFA World Cup 2018 Players - Harry Kane

8/7/2018

At age eight when Harry was released by Arsenal Football club, his father who gave him the news told him then,'“Don’t worry, Harry. We’ll work harder — and we’ll go on and we’ll find another club, alright?” Not putting any pressure on him that is exactly what they did.

Great achievers like J.K. Rawlings, Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jordan all have similar stories to tell. Stories of rejection and never giving up.

This is the Harry Kane (England) story.

6/7/2018

'My life turned from water to wine.' - Gabriel Jesus (Brazil).

Luckily for Gabriel he had a mother who supported him to go after his dream of playing football. Many boys had not been that lucky, they had to start working to help their family. At age 12 or 13 they had bills to pay and could not carry on with pursuing their dreams. They took jobs like bus driver, supermarket, ticket till and construction work just to get by. Their skills were never given the opportunity to develop or flourish. However Gabriel has a message for all young boys with humble means who dream of playing football with big clubs.   Follow the link below to find out what it is. This is a very moving story not to be missed.

FIFA World Cup 2018 - Community Celebration

4/7/2018

The World Cup Games
A time to connect with your roots,
A time to forget your football club and concentrate on your country's glory,
A time to remain focused on that ball,
A time to keep racing to the post until you are knocked down,
A time to spring up for repossession of that ball from the opponent,
A time to forget your injury,
A time to hug and cry,
A time to cover your eyes for that penalty kick,
A time to sit at the edge of your seat,
A time for palpitating hearts,
A time to jump up in triumph to the 'goooaaaalllll! shouts,
A time for a joint community celebration,
The World Cup Games time!

3 July England wins a penalty shootout against Colombia (3 - 4), see how this win is celebrated by the community in a London Street in England:
