July 7 is the 188th day of the year (189th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. 177 days remain until the end of the year. The terms 7th July, July 7th, and 7/7 (pronounced "Seven-seven"😉 have been widely used in the Western media as a shorthand for the 7 July 2005 bombings on London's transport system.

Today 50 years ago the so called "Football war" broke out. How sad that nations would go to war about the results of a game...

They didn't, though. The football, like Belgium in the Great Inperialist War, was only the excuse. They'd been wanting to have a go at one another for years.
