Lionel Messi

                                                                        Synopsis 
Born on June 24, 1987, in Rosario, Argentina, soccer player Lionel Messi moved to Spain at the age of 13, after the FC Barcelona club agreed to pay for hormone-deficiency treatments. Messi became a star in his new country, scoring at will while leading his club to championships. In 2012, he set a record for most goals in a calendar year, and afterward was named FIFA's "Player of the Year" a record fourth time.

Early Years

Lionel Messi was born Luis Lionel Andres Messi on June 24, 1987, in Rosario, Argentina. As a young boy, he tagged along when his two older brothers played soccer with their friends, unintimidated by the bigger boys. At the age of 8, he was recruited to join the youth system of Newell's Old Boys, a Rosario-based club. Recognizably smaller than most of the kids in his age group, Messi was eventually diagnosed by doctors as suffering from a hormone deficiency that restricted his growth.

Messi's parents, Jorge and Ceclia, decided on a regimen of nightly growth-hormone injections for their son, though it soon proved impossible to pay several hundred dollars per month for the medication. So, at the age of 13, when Messi was offered the chance to train at soccer powerhouse FC Barcelona's youth academy, La Masia, and have his medical bills covered by the team, Messi's family picked up and moved across the Atlantic to make a new home in Spain.

King of spain:soccer career

Although he was often homesick in his new country, Messi moved quickly through the junior system ranks, and by the age of 16, he had made his first appearance for Barcelona. Messi put himself in the record books on May 1, 2005, as the youngest player to ever score a goal for the franchise. That same year, he led Argentina to the title in the under-20 World Cup, scoring on a pair of penalty kicks to propel the team over Nigeria.

Messi eventually grew to 5 feet and 7 inches, and with his short stature, speed and relentless attacking style, he drew comparisons to another famous Argentinean footballer: Diego Maradona. Messi steered Barcelona to a wealth of success, most notably in 2009, when the left-footer's team captured the Champions League, La Liga, and Spanish Super Cup titles. That same year, after two consecutive runner-up finishes, he took home his first FIFA "World Player of the Year" honor/Ballon d'Or award.

Former inmate Robert Schibline was brought to Alcatraz in 1958, after he was caught robbing banks while on shore leave from the Navy — and using the aircraft carrier on which he was stationed as a getaway vehicle and using the aircraft carrier on which he was stationed as a getaway vehicle. He was a very dangerous men,robbed banks and killed innocent people.

Boxing article

Once you get past all the smoke and mirrors, it becomes pretty clear that Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez expect to fight one another later this year. Timothy Bradley, Brandon Rios and a handful of other names have been mentioned as possible opponents for them, however, that’s all just for show. The only bout out there for Pacquiao and Marquez that would result in a payoff that justifies the risk involved is one featuring them fighting each other. Over the past three months or so, Pacquiao has remained fairly consistent when it comes to fighting Marquez. He was willing to do it on the eve of his last loss, and he continues to be willing to fight him now. Of course, it’s easy for him to be down – he made $17 million more than counterpart in defeat on the last go-round. Clearly he doesn’t need a whole lot of bargaining power. Marquez, meanwhile, only collected $6 million for one of the bigger victories in his career. Hence him taking such a hard stand as of late and pretending as though he would legitimately fight someone other than Pacquiao if his requests aren’t met. Still, despite all the bluster and big talk, everyone involved is moving forward with the general assumption that a deal will be reached. Pacquiao and Marquez V, for all intents and purposes, is set up. Now it’s just a matter of working out the specifics. During a recent interview with Michael Woods of ESPN, Top Rank boss Bob Arum explained where things stand now. "Marquez didn't show at the Bradley-Provodnikov fight but he's coming on March 30 for the Brandon Rios-Mike Alvarado fight (in Las Vegas). And then Marquez and his wife are going with us to Macau,” he said. "To solidify a Pacquiao-Marquez fight in Macau would be the plan," Arum said. When pressed on where the proposed bout would take place, Arum replied: "They've been doing a full court press at the Venetian in Singapore.” So they’ve picked out a location, they have a hotel in mind and Marquez is taking two trips with Arum over the next month. But he is seriously contemplating not fighting Pacquiao. Right.
