Westlife is an Irish pop band which is formed in 1998. There are four guys in band: Mark Feehily, Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne. Brian McFadden left in 2004. Egan plays guitar on stage and Byrne plays drums. Kian and Feehily both sing. They have sold 45 millions records worldwide. The band were managed by Louis Walsh. Westlife's music has evolved from teen pop to pop sound with emphasis on ballads. Most of the songs have been compossed by others songwriters. But i think they sing those songs better than others. My favourite Westlife's song is What about now, which has sung famous by Daughtry.

All the games begin between hash-signs. Team gets six points when they reach to the goal line, as well one point when the ball reaches over the goal. Hitting the ball over the goal gives them three points. Defenders can get only two points if they throw the ball to the last zone or if carrier steps out of their zone.
