On Tuesday, July 24, 2012, exactly 14 years ago today, President John Evans Atta Mills passed away after being rushed to the 37 Military Hospital in Accra, sending shockwaves across Ghana and the international community.
His death came just three days after he celebrated his 68th birthday, and only a few months before the end of his first term in office. While the official cause of death was never publicly disclosed, it was widely known that he had been battling illness and had recently travelled to the United States for medical treatment.
Following the announcement of his passing, then–Vice President John Dramani Mahama was sworn in as President later that same day.
Think Scaloni could try something different like 4-2-3-1 with Nico Gonzalez LW and Messi RW in this World Cup final. Reason being that Spain’s off-ball shape is so good at closing central progression (see how Olise was neutralised vs France) and Argentina are relying on late magic with a different system to their starting 4-4-2 currently. Also Nico’s aerial threat is such a big weapon vs Spain’s aerial weakness, with Messi crosses from RW to supply.
Some are smiling, active on social media, and looking perfectly fine, yet fighting battles no one knows about.
If you’re reading this, be proud of yourself. Keep going. Your strength matters, and with time, everything will fall into place.
