MBAPPE AND FRANCE CELEBRATE THE MATCH BETWEEN AUSTRIA VS FRANCE WAS FULL OF DRAMA YESTERDAY!

BUT IT WAS ALL-ACTION EARLIER ON, WHEN MBAPPE WHEN TO PASS THE BALL IN FRONT OF GOAL AT 38 MINS., ONLY FOR AUSTRIA’S MAXIMILIAN WOBER TO RECEIVE IT AND HEAD IT INTO THE GOAL, RESU...

ODE TO SPORT BY PIERRE DE COUBERTIN
PIERRE DE COUBERTAIN – ODE TO SPORT…. This poem by Pierre de Coubertin won the gold medal for literature at the 1912 Paris Olympics…. O Sport, pleasure of the Gods, essence of life, you appeared suddenly in the midst of the grey clearing which writhes with the drudgery of modern existence, like the radiant messenger of a past age, when mankind still smiled.
