Happy New Year Readers. I know some of you might be wondering why I haven't posted anything since the first week of December, oh well I took a break and I'm back with this exclusive review of the Movie July 12th. JULY 12 TH : WHAT LIES IN DEATH? 'Love is a form of pain. It is a drug: it could get you high and watch you fall really low. It can keep you in a limbo and serve you difficult questions on the platter of a quest. It is in those moments when you hunger for the answers that you become someone else, a monster, a human being, or simply a skeptic perhaps worst of all, dead.

But with Federer forced to withdraw from Paris, Nadal needed just one more win to finish as number one.

Alex Iwobi scored twice as Nigeria fought back from 2-0 down against an Argentina side missing Lionel Messi to secure a stunning 4-2 friendly victory in Krasnodar. Sergio Aguero scored his 36th international goal to move clear in third place on Argentina's all-time scoring list as Jorge Sampaoli's side looked set to prosper despite the absence of Messi, who had returned to Barcelona after featuring in the 1-0 win over Russia on Saturday. Having drawn level with Hernan Crespo by scoring a late winner against the Russians, Aguero followed up his first international goal since June 2016 by tapping home Argentina's second to back up Ever Banega's free-kick opener. Yet their comfortable cushion evaporated either side of the interval, with Kelechi Iheanacho inspiring a Nigeria fightback with a free-kick of his own in the closing stages of the first half. Two goals in the space of three second-half minutes from Iwobi and Bryan Idowu swung the game further away from...
