There were more than 70,000 supporters in attendance and tickets did not come cheap., 5:B - He bunny-hopped his way to the top. “When you are in the small sports, like bike trials, it’s very hard to make a living, so we have to find solutions to make money or to find sponsors,” he says. “My idea was to make more content and appeal to a larger public.

"People, especially my family, say: ‘It’s time for you to stop. You’ve done everything. Why do you want to score a thousand goals?’ But I don’t think so. I think I’m still producing good things. I’m helping my club and the national team, so why not keep going?" , 14:A - Cape Verde need to beat Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland) on Monday to book their place at the tournament., 15:C - It was less than 2% in the first season of the Premier League, in 1992-93, but has shot up in recent years.
