1996 Florida State vs North Carolina State second half
RALEIGH, NC - Before an ESPN Thursday night national television audience, third ranked Florida State scored three touchdowns within a seven minute span of the first half and cruised to a 51-17 victory over Atlantic Coast Conference foe North Carolina State in Raleigh in front of 45,700. Senior running back Warrick Dunn and junior quarterback Thad Busby ignited the Seminole attack, which churned out 527 yards of total offense. Dunn tied Greg Allen's career record with the 16th 100 yard rushing game of his Florida State career. Dunn finished the night with 108 yards and a touchdown on just 14 carries. Busby, working out of the Fast Break Offense for the majority of the night, completed 17 of 26 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns. The FSU defense built on its impressive season opening performance by holding the Wolfpack to just 71 yards rushing and 196 total yards. The Seminoles recorded eight quarterback sacks, led by Peter Boulware with two. Scott Bentley opened the game's scoring by drilling a field goal from 46 yards out with 4:56 remaining in the first quarter to give FSU a 3-0 lead. The Seminoles extended their lead to 10-0 with a lightning quick, two play drive on their next possession. On the first play, Dunn seemed bottled up behind the line of scrimmage but cut back against the grain and raced 51 yards to the N.C. State 29 yard line. FSU scored on the next play when Busby rolled to his left, eluded a sack with a spin move, rolled back to his right and fired a 29 yard strike to a diving E.G. Green on the final play of the opening period. FSU scored on its next possession when Dunn capped a 10 play drive that covered 75 yards with a one yard TD run on fourth down to give the Tribe a 17-0 advantage. FSU's defense forced the Wolfpack to punt after three plays and it would prove disastrous for NCSU. Cornerback Troy Saunders broke free from the left side to block N.C. State's punt. Byron Capers covered the loose ball in the endzone for a touchdown and a 24-0 Florida State lead. The Seminoles lost their shutout on the Wolfpack's first drive of the second half as Marc Primanti hit a 29 yard field goal to make it 24-3. FSU responded on its next possession driving 65 yards in five plays, culminating in a 29 yard Busby to Andre Cooper TD strike to give FSU a 31-3 advantage. The Tribe's defense got into the scoring column late in the third period. Shevin Smith stepped in front of a Jose Laureano pass and raced 61 yards untouched with the interception for a touchdown. Bentley missed the point after, breaking a string of 44 in a row, giving Florida State a 37-3 lead. The teams traded touchdowns in the fourth period. NC State scored on Tremayne Stephens' two yard run and a 96 yard kickoff return by Alvis Whitted. Florida State scored on the first two touchdown passes of redshirt freshman Dan Kendra's career. Kendra hit Wayne Messam from 11 yards out and connected with Peter Warrick with a 13 yard scoring strike.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirms he wants Manchester United job on permanent basis
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirms he wants Manchester United job on permanent basis. Manchester United caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he ‘doesn’t want to leave’ the club and has confirmed he would take the position on a permanent basis. The Norwegian joined Sir Matt Busby in becoming just the second United boss to win his first four league games at the club with a 2-0 win against Newcastle on Wednesday. Solskjaer was announced as caretaker boss after Jose Mourinho’s departure and the club want to appoint Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino as manager in the summer. However, Metro.co.uk understands Solskjaer will be considered for the post should Pochettino turn the job down and the 45-year-old says he doesn’t want to leave. ‘I don’t want to (leave) – of course I don’t,’ Solskjaer said. ‘It’s such a great bunch of players, fantastic atmosphere, but it’s the next game, it’s the next game. ‘I’m doing my job as long as I’m here. If you win four you can win another four with this club. ‘That’s the challenge, that’s the standard we know. That used to be the challenge from the gaffer (Sir Alex Ferguson).’ What Solskjaer told Manchester United stars at half-time to inspire Newcastle win Man Utd fans report Jonjo Shelvey to the FA as Paul Pogba is left limping onto team bus Gary Neville raves about Marcus Rashford after sensational performance against Newcastle Solskjaer’s arrival has marked a resurgence for a large part of the United squad and nobody has benefitted as much as Marcus Rashford. The striker continued his hot streak with a goal against the Magpies and Solskjaer praised the youngster for his composure in front of goal. ‘He was calm, composed and just passed it past the goalkeeper,’ said Solskjaer. ‘But his free-kicks, that the first one against Cardiff, and then he does it again, he’s got a great hit. He must have been watching Cristiano Ronaldo when he was practising. ‘That was a tough test today, he gets kicked, and he gets tackled, he goes for headers, he wins, he challenges, he runs. ‘Marcus is going to be a top, top number nine, definitely but then we’ve got Rom, so sometimes he’ll play on the right, sometimes on the left, sometimes through the middle, he’ll get enough games.’ MORE: Three ways Manchester City can put a dent in Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes

Solskjaer could soon give Man Utd fans something else to shout about
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's always had a special connection with United's youngsters. When the Norwegian was taking his first steps on the coaching ladder with the club's reserves, working alongside Warren Joyce, he was never afraid to tap into his own experience to guide his players. Solskjaer would often stop sessions to explain how he navigated a specific in-game scenario during his playing days. The players, who grew up watching the Norwegian on television, loved it. "Like something out of the Karate Kid" was how Mick Clegg, United's former power and development coach, put it. Solskjaer's always set out to fill his squads with young, hungry players and Sir Matt Busby's famous quote - 'If you're good enough, you're old enough' - has stuck with him throughout his coaching career. Manchester United 4-1 Bournemouth reaction RATINGS: Manchester United player ratings: Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford brilliant REPORT: Solskjaer is doing the same thing as Mauricio Pochettino NEWS: Paul Pogba identifies biggest difference under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer POGBA: Paul Pogba explains new goal celebration vs Bournemouth NEWS: Man Utd suffer Marcus Rashford injury scare HIGHLIGHTS: Manchester United vs Bournemouth highlights and reaction The development of United's youngsters was one of the main reasons why the club sacked Jose Mourinho and turned to Solskjaer for the final five months of the season. During the most turbulent period of his reign, Mourinho relied on players with vast Premier League experience. So much so that old favourite Scott McTominay rarely got a look in in 2018-19. Solskjaer has not needed long to give the club's youngsters hope again and believes there are 'top talents' in the under-18s who are already knocking on the door after being fed regular updates from Nicky Butt, Ricky Sbragia and Neil Ryan. Already, United's interim manager is sending the right message to the academy ahead of giving further minutes to youngsters in the coming months. "I think it's something that fans will demand, the club will demand, the owners and the board will demand and the manager as well," Butt told United's match-day programme before the win against Bournemouth. "The academy is the lifeblood of the club and the home-bred players are the ones that help the superstars all around the world embed themselves into our culture and become Manchester United people. "I think that's the most important thing." James Garner was among those who travelled with the squad to Cardiff for a league game, for the first time, while Angel Gomes got some minutes in the Boxing Day win against Huddersfield. Interestingly, those players who came through the academy - Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford- have been among United's star performers under Solskjaer. Players who remember what Solskjaer did for United as a player. Unsurprisingly, Pogba's resurgence has grabbed the headlines, given how he started just one of Mourinho's final five games in charge, b
Cristiano Ronaldo - Fame And Fortune | Football Heroes
Hard-work, dedication and continuous effort to be the world's No. 1 soccer player, Cristiano Ronaldo has proved to be a man of multiple talents. His popularity on field immediately brought him into the notice of famous brands including Nike, Coca-Cola, Banco Espirito Santo, Castrol, Motorola, KFC, Samsung and Jacob & Co. Moreover, Ronnie also has a fashion boutique under the name “CR7” that deals with diamond-studded belts, patented buckled loafers and more.

The legend was born in Santo António, Portugal to Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro and José Dinis Aveiro. As a child, Ronaldo went through a lot of hardships due to his family's poor financial background. His second name, “Ronaldo”, came after the then-U.S. president and actor Ronald Reagan, who was his father's favourite. Ronnie's introduction to soccer came from his father's occupation at a club. The young boy was so addicted to the game that he would miss his homework and meals and jump out of the window with a ball to play. His skills in this beautiful game were highlighted when he was 8 years old and played for team Andorinha. In 2001, Ronaldo became a part of Sporting Portugal followed by a mind-blowing performance against Manchester United. So impressed were the members of Man United that they urged their manager to sign the legend. In 2004, he had said, “I want to be one of the best players around in two or three years' time. I would be very proud if, one day, I'm held in the same esteem as George Best or David Beckham”. Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United manager also said “He’s the one player I’d love to pay money to go and see play. I’m sure Ronaldo is already in the ‘best in the world’ bracket. He’s only 21 and he will get even better”. During the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification, Ronaldo was the second highest scorer with seven goals and his first World Cup goal. However, he soon was a victim of a controversy when it was stated that he influenced referee Horacio Elizondo's decision with an aggressive complaint and was spotted winking at the Portuguese bench in replays for Wayne Rooney's dismissal. Ronaldo has been honoured with a host of trophies in his career and a few include FIFA Ballon d'Or, FIFA World Player of the Year, UEFA Euro Team of the Tournament, Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year, PFA Premier League Team of the Year, PFA Young Player of the Year, FWA Footballer of the Year, Barclays Player of the Year, Premier League Golden Boot, European Golden Shoe, UEFA Club Forward of the Year, Ballon d'Or, Onze d'Or,World Soccer Player of the Year, La Liga top scorer, LFP Most Valuable Player, IFFHS World's Best Top Goal Scorer, ESPY Awards Best International Athlete, LFP Best Goal and BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year. Cristiano Ronaldo has been a fabulous player since his commencement into this beautiful game, but his life off field has been quite complicated. After the death of his father due to alcoholism-related liver condition in October 2005, the soccer star was suspected of raping a woman in a London hotel the following month and arrested. Ronaldo denied the allegations and after his bail, he issued a statement saying, “I have always strongly maintained my innocence of any wrong-doing and I am glad that this matter is at an end so that I can concentrate on playing for Manchester United”. Ronaldo is also a father of a son named Cristiano but has never publicly revealed the mother's identity. Know more about the world around you.
