Though, my previous reply is still the perfect answer to this! |

tuffgongjo: I think d Palacios brothers deserve a mention because they are d first four(4)brothers to be included in a WC squad(2010).I understand ur points. The article was about the 15 most famous brothers in football. Not the only 15 brothers in football. I hope u grab that  All those u mentioned are right, but the survey didn't find them as famous as these 15 listed in the article. Judging from the accolades won, am sure most of those u mentioned weren't up there with those listed above. Let me know if u understand my points? |

The duo has often drawn comparison to the Neville brothers, and given their young age, you could still say that they could go onto be as successful as the Neville brothers were.

“Help your brother’s boat across, and your own will reach the shore.” The above is an old Hindu saying, and it rightly stands as "Having a brother grow up with you, you have someone to lean on, someone to count on, someone to tell on, or in this case, someone to play your first game with." There have been several brothers in the history of the game who have both made it large in their life, from winning a domestic league together to seeing their other half leave their club. In this article, we take a look at football’s most popular brothers: The Bender Brothers #15. Lars Bender and Sven Bender Nationality: German Age: Both of them are 25 years old. The German twins have a lot of things similar, Lars Bender and Sven Bender were both born in 27th of April 1989 as twins, and the duo have a lot in common other than the club they represent. Both of them are defensive midfielders, and have represented Germany at the highest level even though they couldn’t make a cut for the squad that triumphed in the FIFA World Cup Brazil recently. After starting their professional careers at 1860 München, the brothers parted ways after offers started coming in. Currently, Lars plays for Bayer Leverkusen, and is one of their marquee players with over 127 first team appearances. On the other hand, his brother, Sven plays for Borussia Dortmund with over 100 appearances for the Black and Yellows. They were both part of the squad that was victorious in the UEFA Under 19 championship back in 2008.

Hello my felow Nairalanders, Presently, I believe that almost everybody knows there's a tragic battle going on in Europe between Russia and Ukraine. Also, Isreal has been using Gaza to test their new weapons (my opinion though). However, in the midst of the war between the Russians and their Ukranian counterpart; the Downing of a Malaysia MH17 plane came into play where many innocent lives were lost (May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace). In which the reason behind the shooting down of the plane remained uncleared to me and to most of the world. Now let's talk about The Causes, The Battles, The Dialogues and anything that can shed more light into the current Unrest in all the Four Nations. We all could remember when the adoption of the Chiboks girls in Borno happened, almost the entire world sent their supports and condolences to our dear nation Nigeria with the #Bringbackourgirls Hashtag flying everywhere. Even though we're still anticipating for the returns of our girls (May God helps our Soldiers). Now I believe is our turn to show support for the the four Nations involved in this present unrest. Pray for Russia, Ukraine, Isreal and Gaza... Peace in Russia, Peace in Ukraine, Peace in Isreal, Peace to Gaza and Peace to all..... |
