Top 30 Most Creative Passes Ever

FINAL FOR MILAN

AC Milan is the first finalist for the Coppa Italia tournament this year!
Rossoneri defeat Alessandria 6-0 on aggregate to reach the TIM Cup final.
ACM ran out 5-0 winners on Tuesday night in the return-leg of the TIM Cup semi-finals and sealed a place in the 2016 final in Rome at the expense of Alessandria.
Milan went into the cup tie at the San Siro with a 1-0 lead from the first-leg and enjoyed the first chance of the game after only 7 minutes. Juraj Kucka did brilliantly to weave his way into the box before pulling back for Keisuke Honda, only for the Japanese star to blaze his effort over the bar.
At the other end, Christian Abbiati was called into action and did well to race off his line and stop Fischnaller from turning in after an excellent through ball from Marras.
Alessandria held their own in the opening exchanges but Milan eventually found the breakthrough and on 20 minutes, Jeremy Menez beat the offside trap and struck the ball beyond the on-rushing Grigi shot-stopper and into the far bottom corner.
With that strike, the floodgates opened and just four minutes later Kucka headed a corner into the path of Alessio Romagnoli who buried the ball home from close range. It was the Italian defender’s first goal in Milan colours.
On the stroke of half-time, Menez scored his second of the night and opened up a three goal cushion for the Rossoneri. Andrea Poli was the provider this time around and the Frenchman made no mistakes to seal his brace from close distance.
The Rossoneri took their foot off the gas after the restart with Alessandria creating most of the chances but it was Milan’s night and with a late flurry Milan added a further two goals. On 80 minutes, Romagnoli scored again and then on 89 minutes Balotelli completed the rout for a final score on aggregate of 6-0 to Milan.
In the final battle, ACM will face either Internazionale or Juventus ( Juve 3:0 Inter the firts leg). They play the second semifinal tonight at 20:45 CET.

Interesting facts:
332 the number of days since Jeremy Menez’s last goal for Milan. Before his brace against Alessandria, the Frenchman’s last strike for the club was April 4, 2015 in a 2-1 victory for the Rossoneri at Palermo.
13 the number of years since the Rossoneri last reached the final of the Italian Cup. The season was 2002/2003 and Milan beat Roma over two legs to lift the prestigious trophy in the same year that the club also won the European Cup.
Alessio Romagnolithe defender opened his account in Milan colours in style by netting a brace versus Alessandria.
8 the number of Milan players to have found the back of the net this season in the TIM Cup for a total of 15 goals. They are the following: M'Baye Niang (3), Luiz Adriano (2), Carlos Bacca (2), Alessio Romagnoli (2), Mario Balotelli (2), Jeremy Menez (2), Giacomo Bonaventura (1) and Keisuke Honda (1).
19 April 2014 the last time Mario Balotelli was on the score-sheet at the San Siro before sealing a 5-0 victory over Alessandria on Tuesday night. On that occasion, Livorno were the opponents and Milan ran out 3-0 winners.

THE BULGARIAN MARTENITSA!

Martenitsa - an Unique Ancient Bulgarian Tradition

Chestita Baba Marta! (Happy Grandma Marta!)

On the 1st of March Bulgarian people celebrate a traditional holiday called Baba Marta (or Grandma Marta in English) and it is related to welcoming the approaching spring. Peolpe all over the world meet spring with joy and new hopes but in Bulgaria it is saved as an ancient tradition.
On that day, Bulgarians exchange, so called "Martenitsi" ("Martenitsa" - singular, "Martenitsi" - plural) and tell each other, "Chestita Baba Marta!" (Happy Grandma Marta!). This custom is essentially to wish great health, good luck, and happiness to family and friends. The name "Martenitsa" is taken from the Bulgarian word for March, or, as a legend tells, an angry old lady called Grandma Marta - Baba Marta in Bulgarian ("baba" means grandmother and Marta comes from word "mart", which means March in Bulgarian).
In Bulgarian folklore Baba Marta is a grumpy old woman who changes her mood very rapidly and it reflects in the changeable March weather. When she is smiling the weather is sunny and warm, but if she gets angry the cold will stay for longer and it may even snow. By wearing the red and white colors of the Martenitsa our predecessors asked Baba Marta for mercy. They hoped that it will make winter pass faster and bring spring.
The Martenitsa is made of twined red and white threads - woollen, silk, or cotton. The white is a symbol of strength, purity and happiness. The red is associated with health, blood, conception, and fertility.
The most typical Martenitsa represents two small wool dolls - Pizho and Penda. Pizho is the male doll, usually dominating in white color. Penda is the female doll, usually dominating in red color and distinguished by her skirt. There are many other variations and forms. Out of twined red and white threads are also made bracelets, necklaces, tassels, pompons, balls, squares, human or animal figures. Over the past several decades the tradition has been innovated by attaching all kinds of representations and symbols made of wood, leather, ceramics, metal foil to the thread-made martenitsas.
When someone gives you a Martenitsa you should wear it either pinned on your clothes, on the hand tied around the wrist, or around your neck until you see a stork, or a fruit tree in blossom for the first time in the season. After that you can tie it on a blossoming tree for fertility. It is believed that the Martenitsa bring health, happiness and longevity. Like kind of amulet, Martenitsa was attributed a magic power believed to protect folks from "ill fortune", diseases and an evil eye.
The custom of wearing Martenitsa is probably one of the most interesting Bulgarian (pagan) tradition and it is considered to be unique to Bulgaria. According to one of the many legends, this tradition is also related to the founding of the Bulgarian state in 681 AD.
