  1. Highlights | Local News & World News Sports Special: World Cup of Football draws to a close! Rivalfiume out in the group stages, Nieubasria defends the title! GRANKASTELLO - The World Cup of Football has officially ended! And wow, it sure was interesting! This year's WCF host was Hertfordshire and Jammbo, a small nation on the other side of the Great Pacific Ocean. Even though Rivalfiume was knocked out of the competition in the group stages, the players have showed their worth and some international action is surely going to take place for the Swans. Despite the many losses, most of the matches played were very close, usually with goal differences of just one. "It's a shame that the Swans lost at the group stages, I'm sure that with a bit of luck, we could've advanced to the rounds of 16", said Tesmett in a recent press conference held in Porto Mei. "The group had lots of tough contenders, namely Nieubasria, the previous (and most recent!) edition champions. Many congratulations to a solid team, they deserved it. Sospestan also had a nice run, so congratulations to them as well! Who knows, the Nur National Teams could pull an upset and get themselves to the semifinals or even the finals! That would surely be interesting. If you ask me, I think that the team tried their best, and we will try our luck next time." "Hey, even though we lost, I gladly watched the rest of the matches!" said Frese Pajetta, a sports commentator and football enthusiast, who bought the tickets to go and watch the matches live. "Even though the weather was as chilly as in Altipì, the atmosphere in the stadium was a whole 'nother thing. People celebrating and enjoying the sport. Such a warm feeling! It's beautiful that this sport unites us all." Fluvian Schools: The Saturday Debate BAJAMAJORE - It is known that Fluvian Schools are considered demanding, even by international standards. Especially the schedule, as when students go from Middle School to High School (14 years old and onward) they are met with a sudden increase in school hours. That's because the majority of Fluvian High Schools are also open on Saturdays. The reasoning? Most would say "To spread school hours as evenly as possible", but that reasoning doesn't satisfy most Fluvian students. People think that teenagers deserve more free time to socialize and to spend with friends and family. Other parents also brought up interesting "cons" to Saturday Schools: Upkeep costs. since schools are open six days of the week, they consume precious energy and resources. On the flipside, teachers and school principals alike agree that closing the schools on Saturdays will make the other days longer, since the ~36 hours/week target must be met. And that will mean less concentrated and tired students. "Think of the average Fluvian attention span! They wouldn't last without Saturdays!" Says Marus Tisselli, the principal of the School of Chemistry and Technology of Bajamajore. "My school is attended by many students, that come from all over the Province of Bajamajore! Hell, I would even say the whole Department! How would those people do in a five day/week situation? They would need to get up very early only to get home at dusk! I would rather go an extra day, because after a day of school like that, I'd be too tired to spend precious time with family or friends!" Are you a student of a Fluvian School?
