Protests as Spanish court orders 'scoundrel rapists' to be released

-
Several Spanish cities have witnessed protests after a court ordered the release of five men - known as "the pack" - accused of raping an 18-year-old woman at the bull-running festival in Pamplona.
About a thousand people shouted "enough macho violence" in Pamplona, while in Barcelona a banner read: "In the face of patriarchal justice, feminist self-defence."
One protester, 66-year-old Carmen Roman, said it was "a shame these scoundrel rapists get away so easily".
There were also protests in Bilbao, Vitoria and San Sebastian.
Further demonstrations are expected on Friday outside the justice ministry in Madrid, and in Seville, where the men are from.

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly wants to leave the Spanish giants in this window, and while his previous buyout clause was said to be set at €1 billion, the club has reportedly agreed to lower his release fee. Worldwidenewssam.blogspot.com According to  OK Diario , Ronaldo has reached an agreement with Real to reduce his buyout clause for the current transfer window. The agreement was reportedly reached between the end January and the beginning of February, initially reducing Ronaldo's buyout clause to €400 million (R6.4 billion) and later even further to €120 million (R1.9 billion). Unlike his previous €1 billion (R16 billion) clause, the new release clause would actually allow the 33-year-old to leave the club should a sizeable offer come in.

Luka Modric's comments on Lionel Messi after Croatia 3-0 Argetina were spot on

-

Many football fans believed that if Lionel Messi was to lead Argentina to World Cup glory this summer, there could be no argument that he is the greatest player of all time. However, the chances of that happening now look incredibly slim. Messi’s missed penalty resulted in Argentina drawing their opening match against Iceland before they were thrashed 3-0 by Croatia in their second game. During their damaging loss, Messi was anonymous and barely touched the ball. His frustrations and stress could be seen throughout the 90 minutes as he saw his dream slipping away slowly. You couldn’t help but feel sorry for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. And even Croatian players appeared to feel a bit sorry after the match. Real Madrid midfielder - and Man of the Match on the night - Luka Modric has a few words for his rival. “Messi is an incredible player,” Modric said. “But he can’t do everything alone. In football you need help and it can’t be done alone.” He’s spot on. Despite Messi’

David Beckham has thrown his weight behind North America's bid to host the 2026 World Cup as the vote looms, saying the fans' passion for football would make the event "very special". The US-Canada-Mexico joint bid is battling against Morocco for the right to stage the tournament, with Fifa members picking the winner at a vote in Moscow on June 13. "A football competition as big as the World Cup deserves to be in great places and if the US, Canada and Mexico get that it will be very special," said former LA Galaxy star Beckham in a video released by Major League Soccer. The former England captain, who played for the Galaxy for six seasons and was awarded an MLS franchise in Miami earlier this year, said he had experienced the passion for the game in all three countries. "I've been able to have played in one of these countries and I've been to the other two as well and also played in Canada for the Galaxy but I know the passion that runs thro
