Mecurial vs. Magista

 

Nike Mecurial vs. Magista

   In this blog post, I will be talking about the Nike Mecurial Superfly (red), and the Nike Magista Obra (green). Though they look alike, they are very different indeed. I will talk about the last as well as an interesting feature called "heel counter". With the last, while the Magista offers a fit that is wider in the middle part of the foot and the toe area, the Superfly is a narrower fit and is very similar to its past model, the Mecurial Vapor. The Superfly uses a hidden heel counter that is hidden in the upper by the upper part of the shoe. The heel counter provides lightweight support to the back of the foot, though still keeping that sleek Mecurial shape. Although the Magista doesn't come with that, I like the Magista more than the Superfly.

 

Cristiano Ronaldo - Ballon D'or

 

Cristiano Ronaldo Wins Ballon D'or

   Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Ballon D'or for 2014, making it his 2nd win in a row. Now that he has 3, he is 1 away from having the same amount of trophies as soccer superstar Lionel Messi. He earned this award for scoring 56 goals and 51 appearances for Los Blancos in 2014 as well as having a total of 61 goals and 60 appearances during the year. He also carried his team to get their 10th UEFA champions league title. Another thing he contributed to the history of soccer was having the most La Liga hat-tricks last December. Not only is this why he is one of my favorite players but because he chose his mother over his wife. This decision was made because his wife wouldn't go to his mother's birthday party in Portugal. This proves he loves his mother more than anything in the world.
