Wow, it really doesn't feel that long ago. I remember seeing Beckham crying and getting emotional. It just doesn't feel like nine years ago!

Take me back to May 18, 2013

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Saturday, May 18, 2013. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Taurus. The work week is over and Saturday has finally come, so people are spending time with their kids, going to bars, shopping, playing video games, and watching sports.

The summer of 2013 has finally arrived. The weather has warmed up, and the evenings are brighter than usual. The school year is nearly finished. In America, the song "Can't Hold Us" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is at the top of the singles charts, while "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Star Trek Into Darkness is at the top of the box office.

David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment. Sadly, it seems as though they will be unable to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. It's 2013, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Macklemore, Robin Thicke, Imagine Dragons and Bruno Mars.

The world is shocked by news that Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight and Georgina DeJesus have been found alive in Cleveland, Ohio after 11 years of being missing. The three women had been imprisoned by a man called Ariel Castro up until recently, when Amanda Berry and her daughter managed to escape and alert authorities. Underdogs Wigan Athletic have won the FA Cup after pulling off an unexpected 1-0 victory over favorites Manchester City. Real Madrid have announced that manager Jose Mourinho will be leaving the club. There is now speculation about which club he will join next.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as James Gandolfini, Cory Monteith, Gia Allemand, and Lisa Robin Kelly would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Psych", "Mad Men", and "Game of Thrones". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "XCOM: Enemy Unknown", "Halo 4", "Call of Duty: Black Ops II", and "Aliens: Colonial Marines".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Horrid Henry", "Phineas and Ferb", "Big Time Rush", and "Team Umizoomi". Popular toys at the moment include Air Hogs Hawk Eye, Dance Star Mickey, Dora Fiesta Favorites Kitchen, and Elefun Busy Ball Popper.
