#World cup game comes to a halt so Gerald Pique could safe Bird stuck on the pitch.

Everyone is riled up about the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, but one bird might have taken its passion for the tournament a little too far.

On Wednesday, the kick-off for the game between Iran and Spain was delayed after an animal football fan got too close to the action. Right before the match started, Spain's Gerard Piqué put a pause on the preparations so he could pick up a tiny bird he spotted stuck in the middle of the field, reports The Sun.

Piqué, who music fans might recognize as Shakira's longtime love, carefully clutched the bird until he reached a safe spot, where he let it go.

Unfortunately, the flyer didn't get the hint and flew back onto the field. At this point, Piqué's teammate Francisco "Isco" Alarcón Suárez gave animal rescue work a shot. Isco plucked up the bird and took the animal to the sidelines to be released. The second attempt did the trick: the bird flew off to find a safer perch to watch the game. 

Spain went on to win the match against Iran, 1-0. Pique and Isco earned another win as well: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals announced it is sending two Hero to Animal awards to Russia for the players as a thank you for being big heroes to a little bird.

"PETA U.K. is recognizing these compassionate football players for gently coaxing this little bird out of a dangerous situation and on his or her way to safety," PETA U.K. Director Elisa Allen said in a statement. "No game is more important than someone's life, and we hope their heroic actions will encourage everyone to come to the aid of animals in need."

Every Delayed 2020 Movie Without A New Release Date

Several 2020 movies have seen their release dates delayed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic; here's every film that still needs a new one. With theaters closed down and film and TV production shut-down until further notice, Hollywood's 2020 release calendar has been all but  wiped clean on through to the middle of July  (with a few exceptions which will eventually have to move, as we'll discuss later). There's no guarantee theaters will be reopen for business by that point either, in spite of chains like Cinemark saying  they hope to resume showing new movies  that month. The New Mutants ANTLERS RUN THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW LAST NIGHT IN SOHO SPIRAL: FROM THE BOOK OF SAW GREYHOUND ANTEBELLUM Other Movies On top of all the bigger 2020 movies in need of a new release date after being delayed, there are also smaller indie titles like  Promising Young Woman  and  Saint Maud  (both of which premiered to strong reviews on the film festival cir...

CALIFORNIA FIRE: 62,000 People Have Fled Blaze

  The evacuations have come amid a grueling heat wave, the coronavirus pandemic and air thick with smoke. The wildfires have burned through more than 350,000 acres. The wildfires that continued to rip across Northern California on Thursday have forced 62,000 people from their homes and threaten evacuations for 100,000 more. Firefighters have struggled to contain the blazes, and massive smoke clouds have harmed the air quality. A large group of fires burning in wine country west of Sacramento had grown to cover 131,000 acres, according to Cal Fire, the state’s fire authority. The agency said that, in all, nearly 350,000 acres have burned in Northern and Central California, with many fires sparked by lightning strikes in the high heat and then fanned by winds. Those conditions helped new fires sprout across the state on Wednesday and Thursday, and caused other fires to merge, complicating efforts to contain the combined blazes. Almost two dozen major fires were reported on Wednesday,...

#Yara Virus : The New Mysterious Virus Found In Brazil.

Scientists have discovered a new virus in an artificial lake in Brazil. This mysterious virus found in amoebae has been named “Yaravirus.” This latest discovery comes as the coronavirus from China continues to ravage the world. While the world scrabbles around looking for a cure for the deadly coronavirus, scientists have found another virus. Unlike the former which started in  China,  this new one comes from an artificial lake in  Brazil. Independent  reports that this virus named "Yaravirus" was found in an amoebae. It was named after "Yara" or “Iara,” which means 'mother of waters' - a mythical siren/mermaid figure from Brazilian mythology who would lure sailors underwater. Scientists are saying that this virus is mysterious because it has genes that no one has seen before. Reporting the new discovery in  bioRxiv, a  biological sciences website, the researchers wrote:  “We report the discovery of Yaravirus, a new lineage of amoe...
