Portugal coach Fernando Santos had benched the country’s all-time top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, tasking Benfica forward Ramos with leading the line despite the 21-year-old making his debut just three days before the World Cup in a friendly. Ramos had played only 10 minutes as a substitute in Qatar but the youngster looked like he belonged on the big stage with a memorable performance for Portugal, who did not miss Ronaldo – a late substitute who had a goal ruled out for offside. “Cristiano Ronaldo talks to me and everyone in the team. He’s our leader and always tries to help,” Ramos said after netting the first hat-trick of the tournament in Qatar. “I don’t know if I will start the next game, that’s up to the coach, I have to work as hard as I can and then we’ll see.” After a tepid start, the game came to life when Ramos opened the scoring in the 17th minute by picking up Joao Felix’s incisive pass before blasting the ball into the top corner from a tight angle to put the Portugue...

I always encourage those who are suffering discrimination, losses and difficulties to speak out and express their opinions as their stories are worth listening to,” Hai Yen said. As such, the storytellers a...

After learning about the food truck business model, we applied this idea with pho – a traditional Vietnamese dish.” The truck was purchased for USD 4020.93.
