The World Cup
Made the Best Man
Win.
Lionel Messi Cristiano Ronaldo
2016
Rated PG-13
This Movie was directed by Andy Kim.
This Movie was about two best players in the world competing for the World Cup 2014. This would be
the first time these two players meet on the world cup stage. They have worked their heart out to reach
this goal and now that they have made it to the final, this would be the biggest stage they would play in
their lives. This will really tell who the best is; both of them won the UEFA Champions League, World
Player of The year, the league, and the European golden boot. This is what we all have been waited it for
the two best players in the world with more than 100,000 people in the stadium watching to compete
for the World Cup final. These two players go out and toss the coin to see who gets the ball first and see
who can lead there team now. Messi got the ball first and he starts off the game like he usually does,
attack and with quickness. Portugal defense could not stop him in first half, Ronaldo tries to get the ball
but Argentina defense was locking him down and it made Ronaldo pretty upset because the ball would
not come to him. At the 40th min, Messi got the ball and took it to the left side and blast a shot and it
was goal to Argentina. Argentina will lead at the half time. The second half begun and still Argentina had
the possession and they were working Portugal defense. At the 60th min Portugal got a fast break and
gave it to Ronaldo on a left hand side and he sprint like a cheetah where Argentina defense was behind
like a mile, and when he cut to the left side one of the Argentina defense tackled him from the left side
and got a red card and got kick off the game. Portugal got a free kick from 25 yards out. It was Ronaldo’s
chance, he was deadly at free kick and everyone knows it. He took it and knuckle ball it at the right hand
side and it was so fast that the goalie did not even notice it. Portugal tied up with Argentina at the 62th
min. now that Argentina has 10 men on the field; they have to play quick now. It was Portugal’s chance
to take the lead. Both teams were playing hard and there possession was about the same. They had
about same amount of shots and chances. At the 85th min Ronaldo tackled Messi and got a yellow card.
Messi got a free kick; he took it at far left hand corner and just hit the cross bar. At the 90th min Portugal
goalie took a long goal kick and gave it straight to Ronaldo, Ronaldo receive with his chest and dribbled
down the left hand side, took on 2 people, cut 1, and when he was about 20 yards out, he chip shot the
goalie and went in the left side. Everybody on the stands was going wild, they shouted Portugal! It was
the first time Portugal won the the world cup and at the end Cristiano Ronaldo hold up the World cup
Trophy and Smiled.

17 died but only 10 were saved.
Please attach your article to this worksheet. Ten beached pilot whales were rescued Sunday in Scotland, but 16 others could not be saved, the local newspaper The Scotsman reported. The stranding occurred between Pittenweem and Anstruther at the mouth of the bay called the Firth of Forth on the North Sea. Rescuers took advantage of high tide to get 10 whales out of trouble about 4:30 p.m., but the rest, including three calves, died, the paper said. A 17th whale died Monday, BBC reported. The Fife Coastguard, Fire Brigade, British Divers Marine Life Rescue team, and Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were joined by local veterinarians and volunteers in the rescue effort, The Scotsman reported. Large crowds gathered but were urged not to interfere with the rescuers. A group of whales believed to be the ones that were refloated was spotted Monday near North Queensferry, across the Firth of Forth from the Scottish capital, Edinburgh, BBC reported. They were being monitored for signs of stranding as low tide approached. About two dozen other whales, believed to be from the same pod, were seen in shallow water a short distance away. Bob McLellan, Fife Council's head of transport and environmental services, told BBC the whale carcasses are in a hard-to-reach place and may have to be winched up the cliff face for disposal.
