Borg had graduated in late October, with University Rector Prof. Alfred J. Vella visiting Miguel at his home to hold a private ceremony before he sadly lost his battle with terminal illness.

“…and on the subject of passion, what better example could we have had from you? A beacon of courage, determination and perseverance,” a fellow student stated to an emotional crowd.

“This makes today so much more special for us, thank you Miguel. I have no doubt that we and your friends will continue to celebrate your memory, even when we feel that we need to be courageous in our lives.”

RIP Miguel.

Saudi Arabia players each awarded Rolls-Royce after beating Argentina

Nov 26 2022

According to Malay Mail every one of the 26 members of the Saudi Arabia World Cup squad will be awarded with Roll-Royces from Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia, after their historic win against two time winners Argentina.

Last Tuesday, the team coached by legendary international manager Herve Renard managed to shock the entire world and beat Lionel Messi’s Argentina with a score of 2-1.

It is still yet to be confirmed which model each player will be getting, however it still set to be a very expensive operation no matter the model as basic models of the Rolls-Royce Phantom cost around €422,000.

This isn’t the first time that Saudi Arabia have awarded a Rolls-Royce after an impressive World Cup performance. Back in 1994, Saeed Al-Owairan received a Rolls-Royce after scoring against Belgium at the World Cup.

The result was so huge for the country that Wednesday was made a national holiday in order for the people to properly celebrate the momentous win.
