One would have to live in a mine to not have heard of the tragic, yet happy story of the miners in Chile. Picture yourself living in hazardous conditions, with only the necessary amount of food, no entertainment, no sanitary bathrooms, and just a dirt floor to sleep on. Now multiply that by 69 days, and then sum up the fact that they were hundreds, if not thousands of meters underground, in a dark mine. Luckily, the world held its breath as the 33 miners were succesfully rescued. One of the miners had actually played in the Chile national soccer team, but lost his chances of keeping the job and ended up poor, working in a mine. At his release, he juggled a soccer ball in a jubilant manner, connecting to the thousands of soccer fans around the world that were watching the news. Furthermore, the miners are now being invited by countless teams for different affairs. Real Madrid sent the 33 men a signed shirt each, and also invited them to visit their camp grounds in Spain. Manchester United, an English Premier team, is also planning a similar reception. It doesn't end there. Boca Juniors coach Claudio Borghi shared to the public that he would love to share some tea with them, and the famous Diego Maradona also commented, saying that they were proof that miracles exists.
