Fans joke peacekeeper Son Heung-min should be given the Nobel Peace Prize after the Tottenham star broke up an argument between two OPPONENTS during South Korea’s win over Chile

Fans were amused to see Tottenham star Son Heung-min break up an argument between two opposition players during South Korea’s 2-0 victory over Chile in Daejeon.

Captain Son, who later scored South Korea’s second goal in injury time, showed his professionalism and leadership when Chilean defenders Paulo Diaz and Benjamin Kuscevic started to quarrel with one another.

After some aggressive shouting between the two, Diaz and Kuscevic met on the halfway line to barge into each other.

But Son intervened before tempers could rise by immediately pushing Diaz towards his original position and holding Kuscevic back with his arm.

The moment sparked a positive reaction on social media, with some joking Son, 29, should be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Another remarked that former Newcastle team-mates Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer, who were each infamously shown red cards for scrapping with one another against Aston Villa in 2005, could well have been rescued by Son were he playing in those days.

Son has fast become one of the world’s most-loved footballers thanks to his nice guy persona 

Discipline was clearly an issue for Chile during the friendly, as the away side were reduced to 10 men shortly after half-time, following Alex Ibacache’s sending-off.

The South Korea international enjoyed a career season in North London last campaign, winning the Premier League Golden Boot with 23 goals and firing Spurs back into the Champions League in the final week of the season.

Son has become a legend in his country after making over 100 senior appearances for South Korea and scoring 32 goals.

Britain may be celebrating Queen Elizabeth ll’s Platinum Jubilee, but her great-grandson Prince Louis stole the show once again.

The 4-year-old son of Prince William and Kate Middleton made a variety of facial expressions while sitting in the royal box during Sunday’s pageant parade.

The youngster sat beside brother Prince George, 8, and sister Princess Charlotte, 7, along with their grandparents Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.

Prince Louis was spotted at different times covering his face with both of his hands, sucking his thumb and making a face at his mom, before clapping gleefully as the parade went by.

Second cousin Mike Tindall, who is married to Prince William’s cousin Zara Tindall, was even seen reminding little Louis that he had his eyes on him.

After standing on his chair and appearing to throw a cushion, his mom, 40, took him outside. Upon his return, he was seen sitting on grandfather Prince Charles’ lap.

Meanwhile, Charlotte stunned in a pretty white dress and was seen talking to her big brother and dad throughout the parade.

Toward the end of the celebration, something seemed to upset her as she was seen shedding a tear while her mom comforted her.

The parade came a few days after Louis made his presence known at Thursday’s Trooping the Colour, wearing his dad’s sailor outfit from 1985, and making a range of expressions.

During the family’s official balcony appearance, he was seen hilariously reacting to the loud airplanes flying overhead with his mouth open and his eyes squeezed shut, reminiscent of Macaulay Culkin’s iconic “Home Alone” face.

As Page Six previously reported, the Queen made a surprise appearance on the iconic balcony at Buckingham Palace on Sunday, chic in a green jacket with a matching hat.

Although she didn’t take part in the pageant parade earlier in the day, she was seen in hologram form when her digital likeness was projected onto the windows of the historic Gold State Coach, which carried her to her coronation in 1953.

Watch as Dr. Ben Carson punches back at the leftist book burners with a poem that is hilarious but also makes an excellent point:

MACCALLUM: “Oh, the places Dr. Seuss will go, or maybe won’t go after cancel culture takes a big bite out of his legacy. Online retailer eBay is now telling the Wall Street Journal that they are currently removing the six books that were pulled by the Dr. Seuss Enterprises to prevent future resale.

Children’s books are now dominating Amazon’s bestseller list. Flying up the list, nine of the top ten are all by Dr. Seuss, so you see how that works.

Joining me now is Dr. Ben Carson, the former secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and founder and chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute. Dr. Carson, I understand you want to express your feelings on this in poetry and I invite you to do so with your poem that you wrote about this now.”

CARSON: “Very good.

I do not like to cancel books. I do not like how that looks.

I do not like it here, nor there, I do not like it anywhere.

I do not like it in the store, I do not want it anymore.

I do think it’s time past, no longer to have thought a crime.

I do hope one day to see across my country ’tis of thee, books used to read and learn instead of set ablaze to burn.

Our heritage for all to share, little patriots everywhere.

Our nation’s story rich and vast, our true history taught in class.

A special place for all to be, a place known for its liberty.

Those are the kinds of things that Dr. Seuss did. He encouraged people. He made people believe that everybody was equal. You know, we — it’s appropriate that we’re talking about children’s books. Because as a society, we’re acting like children.

Like a child who is in charge who doesn’t like peas. So he says let’s ban peas, anybody eating peas or growing peas shall be killed. That’s childish thinking. That’s what we’re doing right now and it’s absolutely absurd. And I think the rest of the world is having a good belly laugh.

It’s time for us to mature to grow up to recognize, you know, America was the beacon of liberty. It was the place where people came so that they could express themselves, so they could believe what they wanted to believe so they could have religious freedoms.

It was a place where we believed that our liberties and freedoms came from God, and not from government. You know, the socialists believe that everything comes from government.

We can’t abide it.”
