LAST POLL OF ROUND 5
Propaganda
Sophia Loren (Marriage Italian Style, Houseboat)—Major Italian star, first actress to win an Oscar for a performance not in English (for Two Women (1960)) and later when Roberto Benigni won an Oscar in 1999 he jumped over the chairs towards the stage going "Sophia Sophia!!" because he was running towards Sophia Loren and said he cared more about her than the Oscar, that's the effect she had on people. She was big in the 60s already even though she gained a lot more notoriety after that. And I mean. Can we take a moment and just.
Mbissine Thérèse Diop (Black Girl)—She’s a Senegalese actress known for starring in Black Girl, one of the first African films to receive international attention/acclaim. So much of the movie relies on her ability to convey her character’s sense of isolation/loneliness, she’s so amazing, I really wish she had acted more. However, she just recently appeared in the film Cuties!
This is round 5 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Sophia Loren:
She has maxed out all her stats: beauty, elegance, sensuality, she's got it all. her mesmerizing eyes, her sensual mouth, her sharp face shape, her everything is so striking and unlike any other beauty in films. she was also voted the world most beautiful woman when she was freaking 65
im submitting her in honor of my dad bc she was the first celebrity crush of his he ever admitted to me and my sister :) and he was right. shes so pretty
OSCAR WINNER. Worked with some of the hottest leading men in Hollywood but remained faithful to her husband whom she had a loving marriage with till he died (even though Cary Grant almost tempted her once, it's complicated)
One of the most well-known sex symbols of the Golden Age of Hollywood, and unlike some unfortunate others, she seems to have been pretty well at peace with occupying that status. She made assertiveness and a tempestuous temper seem glamorous, and although she's famous for side-eying Jayne Manisfield's cleavage, honestly? She's one to talk.
Absolutely, drop-dead sexy, also a hard working, extraordinarily talented actress who didn't shy away from the less glamorous roles to gift us some gritty, memorable performances
Submitting this on behalf of my dad, who knows nothing of tumblr or this blog, but I remember being a kid watching Houseboat while my mom thirsted after Cary Grant, dad thirsted after Sophia Loren, and I was excited that they lived on a boat. Anyway, she's extremely beautiful and was an international star, doing a ton of movies in Italy before being recognized in the US.
JUST LOOK AT HER Y'ALL
Very smart and beautiful, the characters that she played (I mean those in the movies that I put in the previous question) are as strong and determined as her which I think adds to her hotness.
Global superstar and my late grandfather's long time movie star crush and for a man as quiet as he was, and as hopelessly devoted to his wife as he was, the fact that I know that means she was EXCEPTIONAL.
Big in the chest, snatched in the waist, pretty in the face 😳
Sexy, beautiful, deep. A real star.
Her performance in "Man of La Mancha" is just so very captivating. Dubbed as "the Italian Marilyn Monroe", she looks beautiful in any movie and at any age.
Forget the exotic sexpot of her Hollywood films and go back to her Italian career: sparking with Marcello Mastroianni as the woman who drives him mad and outwits all his fumbling attempts at macho posturing in their early films, and showing a tender side in their 1970s films. Sophia isn’t self-conscious about who she is or her beautiful body: she enjoys being herself and she wants us all to enjoy ourselves too.
She starred in films as a sexually emancipated persona and was one of the best known sex symbols of the time. She is a great cook and her filmography is immense.
On the misattributed quote that Sophia owed everything to spaghetti: 'Did you actually say the quote frequently attributed to you, "Everything you see I owe to spaghetti"?' "Non è vero! It's not true! It's such a silly thing. I owe it to spaghetti, no, no. Completely made up."
Mbissine Thérèse Diop:

Why Bowie had to say the Lord's Prayer for pal Craig
by LIZ MOORE
SUPERSTAR David Bowie yesterday told of the sadness which led him to sink to his knees and pray on the stage of the Freddie Mercury tribute concert.
Bowie recited the Lord's Prayer before an audience of millions in a very public show of compassion for the private plight of a close friend, Craig, who is dying from Aids.
“He was in my thoughts as I watched the concert and I knew that I wanted to send a message to him,” Bowie revealed.
“I had no idea of what I was going to say until just before I went on stage.
“Something made me think of the Lord’s Prayer and it seemed to me that it would be the most direct way of reaching him with integrity. It just felt like the right thing to do.”
Before he flew out of Heathrow for New York, the 46-year-old rock star said: “Craig is someone who my assistant Coco and I have known for many, many years and who has tragically been toppled by Aids.
“He does not have long to live, I'm afraid.”
It was largely because of Craig that Bowie took part in the star-studded Easter Monday tribute to Freddie Mercury.
Bowie stunned the audience when he interrupted the music to pray for the victims of Aids, mentioning Craig by name.
Before he flew out Bowie vowed to keep Craig's personal details secret.
“He's a private individual, nothing at all to do with the music business or entertainment.
“I think because of that, it would be totally unfair of me to reveal his identity or any more information about him. It's vital that his anonymity is preserved.”
Asked if he was involved in caring for Craig, he said: “Coco and I are constantly in touch with him.”
Before the show, Bowie revealed that his friend's plight had spurred him into taking part.
On stage Bowie said: “This tribute is for our very good friend Freddie and also to our friends, your friends and possibly members of your family who have been troubled by this relentless disease.
“To all the people watching and to my friend Craig, I would like to extend my best wishes to everyone.”
Yesterday, Bowie said he was satisfied the concert had succeeded in getting across the message of Aids awareness, as well as being a fitting tribute to Freddie Mercury.
“I think enough of the performers said enough about the issue to nail down the seriousness of this horrific disease.
“And it was an absolutely splendid show.”
Bowie's agent Alan Edwards added: “Craig is obviously someone he knows outside the music world. He won't divulge any more about him.”
Concert organisers and Aids workers yesterday began the task of deciding how to allocate the estimated £20 million raised by the show.
The money, which came mostly from film and television rights, merchandising profits and public donations, will go to Aids charities to boost the battle against the disease.

THE stars who rocked the fans at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert later danced until dawn at a party in his memory.
The flamboyant Queen singer's spirit lived on as band members Brian May and Roger Taylor joined Liza Minnelli, Cindy Crawford and George Michael.
Earlier, as the 72,000-strong crowd filed slowly from Wembley Stadium, a fleet of limousines whisked the stars to exclusive Browns club in London's Covent Garden.
The champagne flowed as the guests swapped stories about the Queen front man who died of Aids in November.
The celebrities toasted the success of the concert which looks set to raise £20 million for Aids charities worldwide.
George Michael, dressed from head to toe in black, stayed until the early hours of the morning at the club where he is a regular customer.
He spent a long time chatting to Cabaret star Liza Minnelli, who was still flushed from her emotional performance.
She led the finale with a version of Queen hit We Are The Champions.
Drummer Roger Taylor was escorted by stunning girlfriend Debbie Leng, who was dressed in figure-hugging black leather shorts and jacket.
And Queen guitarist Brian May took his girlfriend Anita Dobson, dressed in a black bolero hat and black lace dress.
Joining them were EastEnders actress Gillian Taylforth — enjoying her first big night out since the birth of her daughter Jessica three months ago — and her boyfriend Geoff Knights.
Paul Young and his wife Stacey left their daughter Levi with a babysitter.
Seal arrived with a new image. Gone were the trademark black leather trousers. Instead he wore a loose fitting white suit and glasses.
Wild Guns 'n' Roses frontman Axl Rose arrived without his usual posse of burly minders.
Still on a high from his concert success, he chatted to Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott.
“The atmosphere was fantastic because everyone was still buzzing from the concert,” said one guest.
“They played really up music all night long, and the dance floor was absolutely packed the whole time.
“They played a couple of Queen tracks and everyone went wild.
“The general feeling was that everyone should go wild and have a really good time because it's what Freddie would have wanted. He wouldn't want people sitting around moping about him."
However, one star was missing. “Everyone noticed that Elton John was particularly quiet backstage at the concert,” said an organiser.
“I think he found the whole thing rather upsetting because he loved Freddie very much.
“I don't think he could face going to a huge party.”
But for the party-goers the night was the ideal way to remember the life of the man who loved celebrations.
As he left, Roger Taylor summed up the mood: “Freddie would have loved it.”

Barça Players as Harry Potter Characters
Sooo I seem to have too much time on my hands (or rather o much proficiency in procrastination) and simultanly too much opinions on this. Do let me know any other opinions, some are literally not based on anything. And obvs no hate to any!
Xavi - Remus Lupin
Was already here in his youth and was very popular then. Now he is back to teach the next generation of wizards.
Marc-André ter Stegen - Minerva McGonagall
A true hero! Also he is kinda cate-like. This is one of my favorites, so congrats!
Iñaki Peña - Neville Longbottom
Loveable guy, but does not get the chance to prove himself until later on.
Héctor Bellerín - Luna Lovegood
They are kinda there for the magic, but they also care about other stuff. People may find them a bit strange, but in truth they have their priorities set. Very magical vibe in general.
Ronald Araujo - Ginny Weasley
This is one is ambitious in every aspect of life. Talented, but also a bit weird.
Andreas Christensen - Viktor Krum
Both come from the north. And they have a very ambivalent vibe, like probably a good guy, but the facade is kind harsh.
Marcos Alonso - Bill Weasley
One of the older Weasley siblings. Not such a trouble maker as some of the others, but still part of the gang.
Jordi Alba - Rubeus Hagrid
Just a cuddly guy with a sweet personality, but can get fiesty if need be.
Jules Kounde - Lee Jordan
They have the same hair. Plus he seems like someone who would be a Gryffindor.
Eric García - Hermione Granger
Smartest person in the group, does not care about others opinion and is willing to risk it all for their closed-ones (including cursing and threatening). Also nearly died once. We love this one!
Sergio Busquets - Sirius Black
Part of the old popular group. Leader for the young ones, but in difference to Remus, he is more the cool uncle than the responsible one. Also can be kind annoying in a good way.
Pedri - Harry Potter
Do I have to say more? He is the magician, people put all pressure on him. And the hair is kinda similar sometimes. Also grew up differently than most (one being from the Canary islands, the other, well being from under the stairs). Both very family-oriented.
Franck Kessie - Garrick Ollivander
This has absolutely no logical, only vibes.
Sergi Roberto - Charlie Weasley
The Weasley family is just everywhere. So this one had to be included. Is not talked about much, but still liked by most.
Frenkie de Jong - Fleur Delacour
The have so much in common: Very blond hair, very cute accent, same initials. Good at what they do, but kinda slept-on.
Gavi - Hedwig
Ok, I know this is very random. But hear me out: Hedwig is cute, Gavi is cute; Hedwig is protective of her people, Gavi is protective of his people; Hedwig is small, Gavi is small; enough said.
Ousmané Dembélé - Ron Weasley
Sorta part of the main cast, but not the superstar. Also sometimes a bit problematic.
Robert Lewandowski - James Potter
An older, very good guy. He seems cool, but we do not know as much about him. Superstar, but not future.
Ansu Fati - George Weasley
The first of the Weasley twins. Very funny, very loveable. Loves the others and is happy to be a part of this.
Ferran Torres - Fred Weasley
The other Weasley twin. Also funny, and sorta more the centre of attention, whether on purpose or not. I love this one, but he faces more adversity than necessary.
Raphinha - Oliver Wood
Good at sports. Looks good. But not really that memorable.

If you like music like that tiktok, do you have any recs?
I'm not gonna stick just to the ~sensual lady singer, wolfish male "rapper" songs but I guess I can give recs of the sort of same energy music from that era, like music that puts you in the headspace to accept that into your heart.
But if you want artists that fit the "sweet lady/sexy man" dichotomy, just listen to Aqua or Toybox. For aqua, fuck Barbie Girl, try "Roses are Red" or "Lollipop (Candy Man)" and for Toybox "Tarzan & Jane" or "Best Friend"
Or just look up DDR music
This list goes from closer to the request and then kinda hits scatter shot of just "90s and 2000s dance music... or songs tht remind me of 90s and 2000s dance music" so... whoops
"Dream a Dream" Captain Jack
Vengaboys. Come on now. I shouldn't even hae to tell you which songs
"Beijo" Morandi
"Electropop" Jupiter Rising
"Bumble Bee" Bambee
"Perfect (Exceeder)" MAson, Princess Superstar
"I see Girls (Tom Neville Radio Edit)" Studio B
"Distance (M-Flo Remix)" Hikaru Utada
"Candy Pop" Heartsdales
"What is Love" Haddaway (it's a meme but also it still fucks)
"Be My Lover" La Bouche
"Just About Enough" Sarina Paris
"You're my Angel" or "Heaven" DJ Sammy
"Kylie" Akcent
"Ike Ike" Hinoi Team
"Summerlove" S-Connection (also try the Scorccio Edit)
"Butterfly" Smile.Dk
"Chocolate Disco" Perfume
"Hit My Heart" Benassi Bros
"Come... (Into my Dream)" Foggy
This one is a stretch but it's one of my faves of all time "Starlight" The Supermen Lovers
"Temptation" Harisu
"House Baby (Verano Radio Edit)" C-Bool
"Daddy DJ" Daddy DJ OR "Dota" by basshunter (OR "boten anna" by basshunter)
"Time to Rock (Roberto Molinaro Radio Mix)" Gabry Ponte or "80s Stars" by Eiffel 65
"Mr. Saxobeat" Alexandra Stan
"At the End" or "Rapture" iiO or "Pressure (Alesso Radio Edit)" by Nadia Ali
"Believe" Nami Tamaki
"Somnambulist" BT
"Anima Libera (Sweet Edit)" Emi
"Bad Boy" Cascada
"Call on Me" or "Generate" Eric Prydz
"Out of Touch" Uniting Nations
Obviously, songs like "Better off Alone" and "Sandstorm" don't need to be said here
"I Could be the One" Avicii, Nicky Romero
"Gotta Get Thru This (D'N'D Remix)" Daniel Beddingfield
"Destination Calabria" Alex Gaudino
"Fancy Footwork" Chromeo
"Angels (Love is the Answer)" Morandi
That was jus ta fast skim through my music and whatever reminded me of ~that era but again it's a veeeery scattershot look

Roberto Clemente Full Documentary
On December 31, 1972, Roberto Clemente, a thirty-eight-year-old baseball player for the Pittsburgh Pirates, boarded a DC-7 aircraft loaded with relief supplies for survivors of a catastrophic earthquake in Managua, Nicaragua. Concerned over reports that the Nicaraguan dictatorship was misusing shipments of aid, Clemente, a native of nearby Puerto Rico, hoped his involvement would persuade the government to distribute relief packages to the more than 300,000 people affected by the disaster. Shortly after takeoff, the overloaded aircraft plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, just one mile from the Puerto Rican coast. Roberto Clemente’s body was never recovered.
ROBERTO CLEMENTE is an in-depth look at an exceptional baseball player and committed humanitarian who challenged racial discrimination to become baseball’s first Latino superstar. Featuring interviews with Pulitzer Prize-winning authors David Maraniss and George F. Will, Clemente’s wife Vera, Baseball Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda, and former teammates, the documentary presents an intimate and revealing portrait of a man whose passion and grace made him a legend.

Gonna rant about this absolute DOG for a bit cuz he's my fucking hero.
Where do I even begin, I'll start from the top.
Marvelous marvin hagler was born marvin Nathaniel hagler in the slums of Newark New Jersey and was abandoned by his father, during the riots of '67 haglers mother took him and his siblings to Brockton Massachusetts, birthplace of the great heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano.
There, he wandered into goody Petronlli's gym and watched the fighters. Eventually Goody's brother Pat approached the young kid and asked "Hey kid, wanna learn how to fight?"
He had a very successful amatuer career at Middleweight but instead of waiting 3 years for the Olympic games he Opted to turn pro as soon as possible. In the beginning of his pro career he worked construction by day, and fought at night.
He dominated the new England scene before taking on the best Philadelphia had to offer but losing 2 decisions to Willie Monroe and and a controversial one to Bobby watts.
He would go on to defeat Eugene "cyclone" hart before rematching Monroe and stopping him in the final round of their 12 round match.
He'd continue his win streak, even knocking out Roy jones Jr's father before rematching Monroe once again and knocking him out.
After his rematch he'd begin to fight up and comers in Doug demmings, Kevin finnagen and undefeated Mike colbert, knocking them all out before his rubber match with the mythical tough bennie briscoe brought that KO streak to an end, even if it was a blowout decision for hagler.
He'd go on to rematch Bobby watts and knock him out before stopping Olympic superstar sugar ray seales in the first round.
As a contender he was constantly ducked and dodged by the champions who refused to fight him, he also had to fight the judges who hated him for his southpaw stance the fact he hadn't gained Olympic status.
It got to the point where senator Kennedy had to file a formal inquiry to force a title shot against vito antuofermo.
By the end of the fight, haglers shoes squeaked with each step due to the blood vito spilled but the fight was inexplicably ruled a draw.
He'd go on to beat other contenders like lucid hamani, before getting a match against Alan minter who took the championship from vito.
Hagler brutalized minter and stopped him in 3 rounds and was booed by the English crowd.
This began the most dominant reign in Middleweight history where he'd beat the like of roberto duran (unanimous decision) Thomas hearns (KO 3) Juan Domingo Roldan (KO 10) Mustafa hamscho who'd beaten Wilfred Benitez (KO 11) the murderous punching John mugabi who was 25-0 with 25 kos when they entered the ring (KO 11)
The reason hagler is easily my favorite boxer of all time, trumping muhammad ali by miles is because he's a walking inspiration.
His work either was unmatched, he had an endless gas tank and a jaw infused with adamantium.
Funny story about that last bit, a muscle called the temporalis muscle wraps around the head to protect it for shock and is usually 1/4 inch thick, haglers was a full inch thick.
He was a southpaw (shoutout to my fellow lefties) and was afraid of absolutely NO ONE.
This was apperant in his 3 round shootout with Thomas hearns who'd just come off a KO win against roberto duran
This is what it looked like.
From the beginning of the fight, hagler ran straight at hearns, one of the hardest pound for pound punchers of ALL TIME and stopped him in the exact round hearns predicted he'd knock hagler out in.
He was always moving forwards and pressuring but he wasn't a hard headed brawler, he could do it all. Box, punch, brawl, stick and move, everything.
He was the toughest MF to ever live and despite fighting all these murderous punchers and dropping a very controversial split decision to sugar ray leonard while hagler was past his prime, he was never knocked down once in a career spanning more than 65 fights and still holds the record for highest KO ratio among Middleweight champions.
He was a heavy handed, switch hitting sharpshooter who kept his work rate all the way till the 15th round. It was unbelievable.
He sadly passed away in 2020 and I was absolutely distraught for months, hell I'm still upset about it.
Rest in power, marvelous marvin, you were the best of us.

Bei der Prognose für die Weltmeisterschaft 2022 gibt es viele interessante Aspekte zu betrachten. Titelverteidiger Frankreich wird voraussichtlich eine starke Mannschaft haben, mit Spielern wie Kylian Mbappé und Antoine Griezmann, die für Tore sorgen können. Brasilien, immer ein Favorit bei Weltmeisterschaften, wird mit ihrer technischen Spielfähigkeit und einer talentierten Mannschaft sicherlich auch eine wichtige Rolle spielen.
Auch Deutschland wird als eine der Top-Mannschaften angesehen. Mit Spielern wie Leroy Sané und Timo Werner verfügt die deutsche Mannschaft über vielversprechendes Talent. Das Team hat in der Vergangenheit bewiesen, dass es unter Druck gute Leistungen abrufen kann und wird sicherlich ernsthafte Ambitionen haben, den Titel nach Hause zu holen.
Neben diesen traditionellen Fußballnationen sollte man auch Teams wie Spanien, Argentinien, Belgien und England im Auge behalten. Diese Teams haben in den letzten Jahren eine bemerkenswerte Entwicklung gezeigt und verfügen über Spieler von Weltklasse-Kaliber.
Es gibt jedoch auch Überraschungsmannschaften, die für eine Sensation sorgen könnten. Länder wie Kroatien, das bei der letzten Weltmeisterschaft das Finale erreicht hat, oder Portugal, das zuletzt die Europameisterschaft gewonnen hat, könnten für einige Überraschungen sorgen.
Die Weltmeisterschaft 2022 verspricht intensives und hochwertiges Fußballspiel auf höchstem Niveau. Während die Favoriten sicherlich in Betracht gezogen werden sollten, sollte man auch die Fähigkeit anderer Teams, für Überraschungen zu sorgen, nicht unterschätzen. Fußballfans aus der ganzen Welt können sich auf eine mitreißende und spannende Weltmeisterschaft freuen.
Die FIFA-Weltmeisterschaft ist zweifellos eines der größten und aufregendsten Sportereignisse der Welt. Die nächste Ausgabe der Weltmeisterschaft wird 2022 in Katar stattfinden und verspricht ein spektakuläres Turnier zu werden. Natürlich fragen sich Fußballfans auf der ganzen Welt, welche Mannschaft als Sieger hervorgehen wird. Obwohl es unmöglich ist, mit Sicherheit zu sagen, welche Nation den Pokal gewinnen wird, können wir dennoch einige Prognosen abgeben.
Es gibt einige Teams, die als Favoriten gelten und gute Chancen haben, die Trophäe zu gewinnen. Eines dieser Teams ist Deutschland. Die deutsche Nationalmannschaft hat eine beeindruckende Geschichte bei Weltmeisterschaften und konnte bereits viermal den Titel gewinnen. Mit einer starken Gruppe talentierter Spieler und einer hervorragenden taktischen Ausrichtung sind die Deutschen sicherlich ein Team, das es zu schlagen gilt.
Ein weiteres Team, das als potenzieller Gewinner angesehen werden kann, ist Brasilien. Die brasilianische Nationalmannschaft hat eine reiche Tradition im Fußball und hat bereits fünf Weltmeistertitel gewonnen. Mit Spielern wie Neymar und Roberto Firmino in den Reihen verfügt Brasilien über eine große Offensivkraft, die es schwer macht, sie zu stoppen.
Argentinien ist ebenfalls ein Team, das aufgrund seiner starken Spieler und der beeindruckenden Leistungen in den letzten Jahren als Favorit gilt. Mit Superstars wie Lionel Messi und Paulo Dybala hat Argentinien das Potenzial, bis zum Finale vorzudringen und den Titel zu holen.
Es ist jedoch wichtig zu beachten, dass bei der Weltmeisterschaft immer Überraschungen möglich sind. Mannschaften wie Frankreich, Spanien und Belgien haben ebenfalls hochtalentierte Spieler und können für eine Überraschung sorgen.
Insgesamt bleibt die Vorhersage des Gewinners der Weltmeisterschaft 2022 ein Ratespiel. Es ist möglich, dass sich eine völlig unerwartete Mannschaft durchsetzt und als Sieger hervorgeht. Letztendlich werden wir jedoch mit Sicherheit einige spannende und packende Spiele erleben, wenn sich die Mannschaften aus der ganzen Welt treffen, um den begehrten Titel zu gewinnen.
Die Weltmeisterschaft 2022 rückt näher und Fußballfans auf der ganzen Welt sind gespannt auf das bevorstehende Turnier. Für viele Menschen bietet die WM nicht nur aufregende Spiele, sondern auch die Möglichkeit, Wetten auf verschiedene Teams und Spiele abzuschließen. Hier sind drei Tipps, die Ihnen helfen können, erfolgreiche Wetten auf die Weltmeisterschaft 2022 abzuschließen.
Informieren Sie sich über die Teams: Bevor Sie eine Wette platzieren, sollten Sie sich ausführlich über die teilnehmenden Teams informieren. Erfahren Sie mehr über die Stärken und Schwächen der Mannschaften, die Leistung der Spieler in vergangenen Spielen sowie aktuelle Verletzungen oder Ausfälle. Die besten Wetten basieren auf fundiertem Wissen über die Teams und ihre Fähigkeiten.
Verfolgen Sie die Qualifikationsspiele: Die Qualifikationsphase vor der Weltmeisterschaft bietet eine gute Gelegenheit, die Leistung der Teams zu beobachten. Werfen Sie einen Blick auf die Ergebnisse der Qualifikationsspiele, um Einblicke in die Form der Teams zu erhalten. Teams, die in den Qualifikationsspielen gut abgeschnitten haben, haben möglicherweise eine höhere Chance auf Erfolg bei der WM.
Setzen Sie auf Außenseiter: Bei der Weltmeisterschaft gibt es oft Überraschungen und Außenseiter, die besser abschneiden als erwartet. Es kann sich lohnen, auf solche Teams zu setzen, da die Gewinnquoten in der Regel höher sind. Achten Sie auf Teams, die in den Qualifikationsspielen überraschend gut abschneiden oder solche, die talentierte Spieler und einen motivierten Trainer haben.
Denken Sie daran, dass Wetten auf Sportereignisse auch ein gewisses Risiko mit sich bringen. Betrachten Sie Wetten daher als Unterhaltung und setzen Sie nur Geld ein, das Sie bereit sind zu verlieren. Mit diesen Tipps können Sie Ihre Chancen auf erfolgreiche Wetten bei der Weltmeisterschaft 2022 möglicherweise verbessern. Viel Glück!

Propaganda
Sophia Loren (Marriage Italian Style, Houseboat)—Major Italian star, first actress to win an Oscar for a performance not in English (for Two Women (1960)) and later when Roberto Benigni won an Oscar in 1999 he jumped over the chairs towards the stage going "Sophia Sophia!!" because he was running towards Sophia Loren and said he cared more about her than the Oscar, that's the effect she had on people. She was big in the 60s already even though she gained a lot more notoriety after that. And I mean. Can we take a moment and just.
Pola Negri (The Wildcat, Men, A Woman Commands)—Legally obliged to submit her as she's from Poland, but also it is one of the greatest stars of silent film, both in Hollywood and Europe, so she has to be here. The og femme fatale and a fenomenal dramatic actress. And just so hot in this 1920s vamp style. Obviously her career slowed down in America with the introduction of sound movies, because of her accent and low voice. I'd say her voice is so much hotter thanks to that, but I'm just a simple simp. But then she made movies in Germany, and after the war she was even offered Gloria Swanson's role in "Sunset Boulevard'' but she declined. She was probably bisexual as after romances with Charlie Chaplin and Rudolf Valentino in the 20s, since the 1940s she lived with her 'female friend'.
This is round 4 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Sophia Loren:
She has maxed out all her stats: beauty, elegance, sensuality, she's got it all. her mesmerizing eyes, her sensual mouth, her sharp face shape, her everything is so striking and unlike any other beauty in films. she was also voted the world most beautiful woman when she was freaking 65
im submitting her in honor of my dad bc she was the first celebrity crush of his he ever admitted to me and my sister :) and he was right. shes so pretty
OSCAR WINNER. Worked with some of the hottest leading men in Hollywood but remained faithful to her husband whom she had a loving marriage with till he died (even though Cary Grant almost tempted her once, it's complicated)
One of the most well-known sex symbols of the Golden Age of Hollywood, and unlike some unfortunate others, she seems to have been pretty well at peace with occupying that status. She made assertiveness and a tempestuous temper seem glamorous, and although she's famous for side-eying Jayne Manisfield's cleavage, honestly? She's one to talk.
Absolutely, drop-dead sexy, also a hard working, extraordinarily talented actress who didn't shy away from the less glamorous roles to gift us some gritty, memorable performances
Submitting this on behalf of my dad, who knows nothing of tumblr or this blog, but I remember being a kid watching Houseboat while my mom thirsted after Cary Grant, dad thirsted after Sophia Loren, and I was excited that they lived on a boat. Anyway, she's extremely beautiful and was an international star, doing a ton of movies in Italy before being recognized in the US.
JUST LOOK AT HER Y'ALL
Very smart and beautiful, the characters that she played (I mean those in the movies that I put in the previous question) are as strong and determined as her which I think adds to her hotness.
Global superstar and my late grandfather's long time movie star crush and for a man as quiet as he was, and as hopelessly devoted to his wife as he was, the fact that I know that means she was EXCEPTIONAL.
Big in the chest, snatched in the waist, pretty in the face 😳
Sexy, beautiful, deep. A real star.
Her performance in "Man of La Mancha" is just so very captivating. Dubbed as "the Italian Marilyn Monroe", she looks beautiful in any movie and at any age.
Forget the exotic sexpot of her Hollywood films and go back to her Italian career: sparking with Marcello Mastroianni as the woman who drives him mad and outwits all his fumbling attempts at macho posturing in their early films, and showing a tender side in their 1970s films. Sophia isn’t self-conscious about who she is or her beautiful body: she enjoys being herself and she wants us all to enjoy ourselves too.
She starred in films as a sexually emancipated persona and was one of the best known sex symbols of the time. She is a great cook and her filmography is immense.
On the misattributed quote that Sophia owed everything to spaghetti: 'Did you actually say the quote frequently attributed to you, "Everything you see I owe to spaghetti"?' "Non è vero! It's not true! It's such a silly thing. I owe it to spaghetti, no, no. Completely made up."
Pola Negri:
A tempestuous green-eyed vamp of the silent screen, she tantalized with both her onscreen and offscreen romances. Rocked a Polish accent - well, once there was sound! A true proficient at promoting herself and using all possible tools to do so - from a dead Rudolf Valentino to a cheetah named Teddy, the latter of which she brought to a press conference.
First European actress to be contracted by Hollywood! She survived poverty and illness to become The Queen of Tragedy, she divorced a count to date stars like Charlie Chaplin and Rudolph Valentino, then spent the rest of her life living with Margaret West in what could have been a romantic relationship.
I don't have much to say about her actual career, personal life, etc. but I just need everyone to see how hauntingly beautiful her face is. I haven't been able to stop thinking about her since the first time I saw her LOL like its pretty clear why she was such a star

Today, November 25 in 1980, the second boxing superfight between Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard, which later became widely known as the "No Mas" Fight, took place. As a college student at the time, I was fascinated by superstars like Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, and Marvin Hagler. In 2015, just as those memories were fading, I had the good fortune to meet Roberto Duran in Panama, and I was extremely happy and excited. He remains my eternal hero.

Women who sparkle like Mercury
THE LADS may have been the stars of the show at the Freddie Mercury Wembley tribute. But it was the girls who glittered at the lavish party at Browns nightclub later. Flake advert girl Debbie Leng, long-standing girlfriend of Queen's Roger Taylor, topped the fashion stakes in clinging catsuit and elaborate necklace. And Paula Yates showed her husband Bob Geldof it's possible to be colourful without wearing the sofa covers. Model Stacy Smith, wife of Paul Young, was in sparkling form, and superstar Liza Minnelli found that Queen guitarist Brian May — accompanied by former EastEnders actress Anita Dobson — is one of her greatest fans.

First Lady of AIDS
Taylor takes on a new role
LIZ TAYLOR touched down at the airport looking slim and sensational at 60. The caption writers reached for the "age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety” quote from her most famous role — Cleopatra.
What is it that's brought the smile back to the Queen of the Nile? Putting it straight: AIDS. Her flagging reputation has been given the kiss of life by the virus.
There she was on Monday night in front of an audience of 72,000 for the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium, giving the hammiest performance of a hammy career.
She all but went into a Bohemian Rhapsody about condoms and generally urged the youth of today to encase itself in rubber and not share needles.
"Protect yourselves," she pleaded with tremulous voice and quivering lip. "The world needs you to live.
Arguable, if the evidence of several hours of Def Leppard and all the other sound-alikes these 72,000 paid to hear were anything to go by.
“You are the best and brightest, the shining light that will illuminate a better world tomorrow…" Good grief, let's hope she didn't pay a scriptwriter for that.
Close at hand was Larry Fortensky, her seventh husband but her first from the construction industry, who now escorts her round the AIDS charity circuit on both sides of the Atlantic.
And what a party it has been for Liz ‘n’ Larry so far. Thank goodness she picked an exceptionally enlightened brickie, not one likely to share an anti-gay joke over the hod with his mates.
AIDS has given Liz a whole new starring role. After all, it has been a long time since Cleopatra.
Who said not long enough? Unlike the dewy eye, the parts dried up long ago.
Liz was forced to star in her own drama of drink, men and self-destruction. All very well, but costly in terms of drying-out fees.
And being pushed about various airports, bloated and wedged into a wheelchair, must have been losing its novelty as a photo-opportunity.
She had tried the last refuge of a Hollywood legend — bringing out your own scent and touting it round the promotional counters — when she was saved by the arrival of the incurable disease of the late 20th Century.
AND not just any old disease, but a high-profile one with a heavy presence on America's West Coast, handy for her Bel Air home. Thousands of victims in Africa but, more importantly from the PR point of view, a few glamorous names nearer to hand.
But in the case of Freddie Mercury, who died of AIDS last November, is glamour a big enough word? Should we be talking greatness here?
One of his few profundities not set to music was: "New York is Sin City. I just slut myself. My sex drive is enormous. I've got a big bed and it can sleep six."
Another shining light, eh?
Still, it has all been great PR for Liz, whose Tinseltown tiara was beginning to tarnish.
Now she's the First Lady of AIDS and she may soon be more famous for that than for getting married. And how well she looks on it.
Every cloud, as they say, has a silver lining for someone.

Osimhen lebih memilih pindah ke MLS ketimbang Arab Saudi
Napoli - Striker Napoli Victor Osimhen tidak tertarik melanjutkan karirnya di Arab Saudi. Osimhen mengaku lebih tertarik menjajal United States Soccer League (MLS).

Lalu terjadilah gelombang eksodus ke Arab Saudi.

Victor Osimhen masih berkewajiban dari kontrak dengan Naples hingga musim panas 2025. Striker 24 -tahun ini memiliki potensi untuk menjadi tujuan sepak bola Arab Saudi di masa depan.
“Level liga mereka sangat bagus. Mereka telah merekrut pemain-pemain hebat dan menjadi daya tarik, sehingga pemain bintang lainnya ingin datang. “Itu adalah kompetisi yang bagus,” ujarnya, dikutip AS. merdeka 138
“Di mana perbedaan antara MLS dan Arab Saudi dalam hal kondisi ekonomi? “Saya tidak tahu, tapi saya rasa saya akan pergi ke Amerika Serikat,” kata Osimhen.
Victor Osimhen menyumbangkan 26 gol dan lima assist dalam 32 pertandingan saat Napoli membawa mereka meraih Scudetto 2022/2023. Osimhen melanjutkan performa bagusnya musim ini setelah mencetak enam gol dan satu assist dalam 10 pertandingan.

Sadio Mane: The Inspiring Journey of a Footballing Genius
Sadio Mane, a name that resonates with football fans worldwide, is not just a talented footballer but also a source of inspiration for many. Born on April 10, 1992, in Sedhiou, Senegal, Mane's rise to prominence in the footballing world is a testament to hard work, dedication, and unwavering determination. In this article, we'll explore the remarkable journey of Sadio Mane, from his humble beginnings to becoming one of the world's most prolific footballers.
Early Life and Beginnings
Growing up in the small town of Bambali, Senegal, Sadio Mane's childhood was far from glamorous. He came from a modest family, and his love for football was evident from a young age. Mane's talent was undeniable, and he played for local teams before eventually making his way to the renowned Generation Foot academy in Dakar. It was here that his footballing journey began to take shape.
Rise through European Football
Mane's exceptional skills caught the attention of scouts, and in 2012, he made the leap to European football, joining the Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg. His time at Salzburg was marked by impressive performances, scoring goals and dazzling fans with his speed and technique. It was clear that Mane was destined for bigger things.
In 2014, he made a significant move to the English Premier League, signing with Southampton. During his time with the Saints, Mane continued to shine, establishing himself as one of the most exciting wingers in the league. His performances at Southampton earned him a move to Liverpool in 2016, where he would truly become a global superstar.
The Liverpool Years
Sadio Mane's impact at Liverpool was immediate and profound. Playing alongside the likes of Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, Mane formed a formidable attacking trio that led the club to numerous successes. His ability to score crucial goals, create opportunities for his teammates, and track back defensively made him an invaluable asset for Liverpool.
Perhaps the defining moment of his Liverpool career came in the 2018-2019 season when he helped lead the team to victory in the UEFA Champions League, securing Liverpool's sixth European title. Mane's relentless work rate and unwavering commitment to the team endeared him to both fans and teammates alike.
Beyond the Pitch
While Mane's on-field exploits have earned him accolades and admiration from fans worldwide, it's his off-field actions that truly make him an inspirational figure. He has been involved in various philanthropic endeavors, including funding the construction of a school and a hospital in his hometown of Bambali. Mane's dedication to giving back to his community serves as a shining example of using success to make a positive impact.
Conclusion
Sadio Mane's journey from a humble background in Senegal to becoming one of the world's best footballers is nothing short of remarkable. His story is a testament to the power of perseverance, hard work, and self-belief. Beyond his incredible talent on the football pitch, Mane's commitment to making a difference in his community showcases his character and values.
As football fans continue to be inspired by Sadio Mane's performances and actions both on and off the field, there is no doubt that his legacy will endure for years to come. In a world where role models are needed more than ever, Sadio Mane stands as a shining example of what can be achieved through talent, dedication, and a desire to make the world a better place.
