Jerseys of FIFA 14 This year the tension of the FIFA world cup is not only among the nations participating in it but also between the companies which make their cloths.

Nike, Adidas and Puma are at the top of their game but there are a few other companies out there like Lotto, Joma and Egea to compete.

Adidas is the official sponsor for the FIFA world cup and that does make things harder for the other companies; however, Nike sponsors for the most countries in the Cup. It has 10 countries including Brazil, England and France.

Adidas supplies nine countries which includes Argentina, Germany and Russia. Puma supplies countries which includes Algeria, Cameroon and Chile.

It has been seen that the amount of the sponsorship deal has a lot to do with the brand being able to summarise the country’s tradition and national pride. So, it is quite a task for the companies to manufacture jerseys exactly according to the liking of the nations. Isfar Imtiaz Baset

Lionel Messi Ranked no.1 in the FIFA World Cup 2014 is the Argentine footballer Lionel Messi. He is the captain of the national team of Argentina.

Apart from this, he also plays as the forward for the Spanish club FC Barcelona. He won his first Ballon d’Or award in 2009, followed by three back-to-back wins in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Messi won his first FIFA world player of the year award in the year 2009 as well. Some of Messi’s other achievements include UEFA Best Player in Europe Award, three European Golden Shoe

Awards and L’equipe Champion of Champion Award.

Messi has also made a number of contributions outside the football world. The Leo Messi foundation, which provides healthcare and education for children, was established in 2007. In 2010, Messi was announced the goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. Last year, Messi donated €600,000 for the re-building of a childcare hospital in his hometown of Rosario, Argentina.

Fiction

A sad tale Larissa and her family watch as their home slowly gets destroyed, everyday, and their friends and relatives joins them.

Soon, if it goes on this way, they may have no place to live.

It wasn’t always like this, only 50 years ago, they had unlimited space, and all the food and clean water that they could ever want. As many friends as far as the eye could see. The colours, so many colours, people would come from all over the world to discover as much as they could about this mysterious forest.

Thousands upon thousands of animals yet to be found. Such a show of life, truly, one of nature’s greatest gifts.

A magical place, the monkeys, the birds, the butterflies and the fish, are only known to Larissa as her friends will soon have no place to go.

The great Amazon is slowly dying, and with it, all the colours and life that is home to millions like Larissa.

In a few days we shall all be wiping out the life and culture born out of this forest in the World Cup, let us all take note to make sure, they exist for all to see for many years to come.
