Football and Terror! ISIS behead 4 Footballers Accused of Spying in Syria

ISIS militants have executed four footballers in Syria after they were accused of spying for Syrian rebels.


This comes after the religious leader of the dreaded terrorist group declared that supporting football was anti-Islamic.

The victims, who played for the popular Al-Shabab side, were beheaded in front of a crowd of children in Raqqa, with the dissident group posting the gruesome pictures on their Twitter feed, Metro writes.

In a series of tweets, a campaign group in Raqqa named the victims as Osama Abu Kuwait, Ihsan Al Shuwaikh, Nehad Al Hussen and Ahmed Ahawakh.

ISIS banned organised sports including football when they took over the city two years ago and have since unleashed terror on fans and players.


Recently, ISIS militants executed 13 teenage boys in the Iraqi City of Mosul for watching the Asian Cup football match between Iraq and Jordan. The young football fans had been caught watching the game on television in the Iraqi city of Mosul, which is controlled by the Islamic State.

The teenagers were rounded up and publicly executed by a firing squad using machine guns.

Elvis guitarist Scotty Moore dies aged 84

Image
Pioneering rock guitarist Scotty Moore, who was a member of Elvis Presley's original band, has died aged 84. He died in Nashville on Tuesday after several months of poor health. He is credited with helping Elvis shape his musical sound and inspired generations of guitarists. Moore was the last survivor of Elvis's original band which included Presley, bassist Bill Black and producer Sam Phillips. As part of The Blue Moon Boys Moore backed Presley on many of his legendary songs including Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes and Jailhouse Rock. Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones was one of those inspired by Moore. He once said: "When I heard Heartbreak Hotel, I knew what I wanted to do in life. "It was as plain as day. All I wanted to do in the world was to be able to play and sound like that. Everyone else wanted to be Elvis, I wanted to be Scotty." Born in Tennessee, Moore began playing guitar at the age of eight. After a spel...

Marcus Rashford scores four goals in one Manchester United youth game in 2014

Image
The world of football may have been left shocked by the sudden emergence of Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford, but those ingrained in the club's youth system would have seen it coming.                 Two goals against FC Midtjylland were followed by a further two against Arsenal in the Premier League, leaving the Old Trafford faithful convinced that the next great academy star has been found. But while the Gunners defence failed to take the pacey 18-year-old seriously, coaches in the Red Devils youth academy would have known exactly what to expect from him. They have seen him embarrass defenders on plenty of occasions in his upbringing. Most notably, the young striker put his talent on display in the famous Milk Cup, held in Northern Ireland, where he scored four goals in a single game in 2014. Now, that footage has re-emerged online and is here for all Manchester United fans to see. OJPals , share your thoughts below!

5 Times Serena Williams and Her Toned Body Served Us #SummerBody Goals

Image
Summer is here and tennis legend Serena Williams is reminding fans the importance of staying healthy, eating healthy and working out. Yesterday, Williams took to SnapChat to share selfies she took by the pool. Dressed in a black two-piece swimsuit, the tennis star struck a confident pose, and it brought back the memories of how far she had come. Recall that in her interview with Times UK, Williams said it took years before she learned to love her own body. “I know I get flak for my physique and it has been a struggle to love my body,” she told Times UK, adding, “but now curves are in and I’m happier in myself.” Williams had also been body-shamed by people who described her as being too ‘muscular’. Many times she faced media criticism which ignored her victories and talked rather about how ‘muscular’ she looked. Overtime, the athlete turned that criticism around. “Strong is beautiful,” she wrote in March, and ever since has never being...
