Alfredo Di Stefano: Soccer's Grandmaster

Alfredo Di Stéfano, arguably the most versatile footballer in history, defined the parameters of the sport owing to his remarkable skills and adaptability. The year was 1926 when Di Stefano was welcomed into the world in Argentina. He began his playing career with River Plate and later on made even more waves in the game while at Real Madrid. In 1953, when he joined the club, he transformed its fortunes into one of the biggest sporting brands across the globe. He was an astute striker with amazing scoring ability, tremendous creativity and qualities of a good leader and from 1956 to 1960, the European Cup winning team was under the leadership of Real Madrid.

In fact, he coined the comment that there was a reason why he was known as the 'Blonde Arrow' scoring over 300 goals for Madrid earning him a rightful position in history as one of the football legends. The span of his span was multi-ordinal in character and even many players have drawn their inspiration from his greatness.

Sportsmaster, you'll never be him

[sorry-but-no-sorry]

Recently discovered this guy and I love him a lot.

He’s mysterious, sociopathic, tactical and has an interesting gimmick that makes him goofy and terrifying at the same time(Stimming or character aesthetics either way, pretty cool !)

(I’ve been trying to picture a version for the Young Justice series and I feel like he would have quite the ‘unspoken’ rivalry between him and Sportsmaster, consider they are both killer dads (except Ono has a better relationship with his kids))

DHD: stargirl 3x10 (through 11 I guess since it happens at night), crusher OR paula live but you can't choose both (and you can decide how long they live for).

(again, massive spoilers for season 3)

The blank television screens spat static, making the whole room, the floor still littered with the end of the flyer trail, seem to writhe. 

A footstep, just one, echoed, and Paula and Crusher both understood, in that single heartbeat, that they'd walked right into a trap.

Paula grabbed Crusher's arm and spun him out of the way as the stranger's blade--no, not blade--pierced through her lightweight Jacket. They were dressed for an early fall jog, not a fight. They'd stopped dressing for a fight three months ago. Crusher stared at her, then past her, then back.

"Tap out," she said, and he understood.  He hated it, but that was the life they lived. Had lived. 

It wasn't cowardice. It wasn't running away. It wasn't abandoning his wife. 

It still felt like all those things as he shoulder checked the man he'd once thought of as the most decent of his former coworkers, feeling the cold of Jordan's iced over skin bite through his damp jacket. He ran for the hall, for the ladder rungs. 

Paula was dying.  They'd all seen what Jordan's ice could do to a person. Wizard had been frozen from the inside out. Dozens of their [former] enemies had been turned to nothing more than frozen fragments, scattered on the wind like flurries or swept away like glass. There was nothing staying would do but get them both killed, and leave their family unwarned.

Nothing but making sure she didn't die alone.

The manhole cover turned bright white with ice as he heaved it over the opening, blocking Jordan's attack. He'd been winded from the jog, and his fingers were numb. He still managed to pull out his phone, hit the button for redial with his nose. 

Artemis picked up fast. " Dad? I thought you and mom were--"

"Sweetheart," Crusher said, not looking over his shoulder for the same reason he didn't just stay down there and die. There was no point in trying to fight the inevitable. " Out of the house, now. Go to Pat. Tell him Icicle's back. Stay with Stargirl and the team. I'm on my way."

"You and mom?" He heard Artie scrambling, the tell tale sounds of her gathering up her hockey stick and clattering down the stairs to the kitchen.

He couldn't say it.  It was bad enough knowing it. "We love you. Go, tell Pat, now."

The cold burned his arm, spreading now across his chest, getting into his lungs. Two blocks. He could run two blocks. Pat would know what to do, how to save him.

If there was anything left to save.
