Some Lesser Known Facts About Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi is one of the most celebrated players in the world of football. He is considered one of the greatest football players of all time. He plays for the Argentina national football team and the Spanish football club "FC Barcelona."
He had developed a passion for sports at an early age and joined a local football club "Grandoli" at the age of 4, where he was coached by his father.
Lionel Messi in his childhood
Messi was greatly affected by his grandmother's death; as she used to accompany him to training and matches during his childhood. To pay her a tribute, Messi celebrates all his goals by looking up and pointing to the sky.

Messi shares his birthplace (Rosario, Argentina) with the Argentine revolutionary, Che Guevara. Messi is also the international ambassador of Rasario.
He was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency when he was 10 years old.
On 16 November 2003, he made his first-team debut at the age of 16 years, 4 months and 23 days, when he came in the 75th minute during a friendly match against "FC Porto."
After seeing Messi playing at the age of 16, Ronaldinho told his teammates- "Messi would become an even better player than me."

Messi holds passports of both Spain and Argentina. Even though he has spent a lot of time in Spain, he turned down the offer to play with the Spanish national team.
Carles Rexach (Barcelona Coach) was so impressed with Messi that he wanted to sign him up without wasting any time, so, he signed a contract with Messi on a paper napkin; as at that time, Messi just had a napkin which could be used to write something.
In 2005, he made his international debut against Hungary, but he lasted for only 47 seconds; as he was soon given a "Red Card."
Spanish Media calls him "La Pulga" (The Atomic Flea) as he has a low centre of gravity because of his short stature which gives him greater agility, allowing him to change directions quickly.
He is the only player who runs faster with the ball than without it. He is predominantly a left-footed player.
Messi is considered to be the best dribbler (a technique to propel the ball towards the opposition goal by traveling with the ball) in the world.
Messi has been compared to Diego Maradona throughout his career.

Messi does not sing the National Anthem of Argentina. Once, in an interview, he explained as to why he doesn't sing it-
I get annoyed by the people who attack you without thinking, I won't sing the national anthem on purpose. I don't need to sing it to feel it. It reaches me, every person feels it in their own way. The Pumas cry, they feel it differently, and that's ok. I play with the national team always as a priority and I want to win everything I play."
In 2015, Forbes magazine listed him as the world's second-highest-paid athlete (after Cristiano Ronaldo).
In March 2013, a solid gold replica of his left foot weighing 55 pounds (25 kg) worth $5.25 million went on sale in Japan to raise funds for the 2011 tsunami and earthquake victims. The gold foot has very fine detailing, which shows the blood vessels on his foot and also the swirls skin on the bottom of the foot.

Filmmaker Álex de la Iglesia made a documentary "Messi" about his life. The documentary premiered at the "Venice Film Festival" in August 2014.

His longtime girlfriend-turned-wife, Antonella Roccuzzo is his cousin's best friend, Lucas Scaglia, who is also a footballer.
In 2018, Forbes listed him as the world's highest-paid athlete (with $84 million salary/winnings) after Floyd Mayweather.
In 2019, he was named as the Best Player of the Year for the sixth time, and he was awarded the "Ballon d'Or Award". This also made him the player with the most number of Ballon d'Or awards, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 5 awards.

The Walking Dead Season 9 Teaser Trailer Debuts at Comic-Con
Posted by Maddie Michalik | Jul 20, 2018 | Comic Books, First Look, Interests, News, Series | 0
Is this the first The Walking Dead tease without walkers?
AMC released the first footage for The Walking Dead season 9 in a teaser trailer for the show, premiering in October.
We already have some details on the upcoming episodes, like a time jump and the departure of some of the show's leading characters, including our original fearless sheriff Rick (Andrew Lincoln). The season will follow the events of the All Out War with Negan and the Saviors, and will show a dramatic shift as Rick tries to build a peaceful world just as his son Carl envisioned. We can already tell that things probably won't go according to plan as all of the communities live together.
The full trailer will be released today at The Walking Dead Comic-Con International: San Diego panel, following the Fear The Walking Dead panel.

App Volumes had its genesis in the acquisition of CloudVolumes last August.
VMware wasted no time in integrating its recent purchase of CloudVolumes into Horizon View, its virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution, going from zero to shipping in just over three months.
Now called App Volumes, it provides real-time application delivery for Horizon. VMware announced the acquisition in late August. Harry Labana, VMware's vice president of products, end-user computing, said in a blog posting that it represents "…the fastest integration in VMware End-User Computing (EUC) history." He added that App Volumes will be a free upgrade for Horizon Enterprise customers.
The key to App Volumes is that it delivers applications to VDI desktops through virtual disks, so neither the desktop nor the application requires any modification; essentially, it's just a read-only virtual machine disk (VDMK) slipped into the underlying virtual machine (VM) as an independent stack of applications (or single application). To the end user, they appear as, and perform like, natively-installed applications.
The App Volume VDMK can handle multiple applications at once (called an "AppStack"), although a VMware whitepaper on pp Volumes recommends a per-virtual desktop limit of 15 apps in a stack. The whitepaper also states that the management piece, App Volumes Manager, has been tested with "10,000 active user-to-AppStacks sessions at a time." VMware also recommends limiting using App Volumes with no more than 2,000 concurrent virtual desktops.
App Volumes works at the level above the operating system (OS), in application management containers. Applications, data files, settings, middleware and configurations act as separate, layered containers, according to VMware documentation.
Writable Volumes differ from AppStacks in that they're not read-only, and aren't shared between VDI devices.
VMware's Labana stated in his blog post that App Volumes reduces VDI storage costs by 30 percent over using "Horizon 6 alone," although he didn't provide supporting data for this claim.
It's worth noting that App Volumes works in more than just Horizon environments; it can be used with Citrix's XenDesktop and XenApp, and Microsoft's Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH). VMware says in an FAQ that it can even be used in physical environments, although it recommends App Volumes for VDI uses, at least initially.
VMware has published a deployment guide for AppVolumes, which was released earlier this week.

I keep intending to make posts-- I even keep writing half-finished posts-- but I'm not doing too well at this point. Today, however, I have a recipe to make note of, and that gives me a more, uh, focused purpose.
This all started with a desire to use up some of the apples I have sitting around at the moment. You'll notice that the finished product... does not have any apples in it. I blame the caramel. It's distracting. Caramel usually is.
I used a lot of other people's recipes for this, and just... pulled them together into my own thing. Maybe one day I'll be making my own recipes, but... not yet.
This is completely optional; it's really about whether or not you want to keep your caramel smooth on top, or sprinkle it with cake. Or you could just sprinkle it with salt. Really, it's totally up to you, but I used cake.
Preheat oven to 175c (350f). Butter a baking pan. It doesn't really matter what size: this is a small cake, and you're going to crumble it all anyway.
In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder and then add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally, stir in the milk until the batter is smooth. Poor into the prepared pan.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and springs back at the touch. It won't take long, so do keep an eye on it.
Set aside to cool. If you really can't resist, tear off a piece of it and eat it hot - it's ok!
This needs to be made the day before you want to serve it (or the morning of, I suppose - you need probably 6-8 hours in the fridge, ideally).
Pour into martini glasses and refrigerate at least 6-8 hours, until firm.
Combine the caster sugar and water in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Use a wet pastry brush to brush down the side of the pan to dissolve any remaining sugar crystals. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and boil, uncovered, without stirring, for 10 minutes or until the mixture turns a light golden colour.
Remove from the heat and use a wooden spoon to stir in the brown sugar. Stir in the cream (it may splutter a little) until well combined. Stir in salt - just keep tasting it until it taste right to you. Return to medium heat and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until smooth.
Pour the sauce into a jug of some kind and cool on the bench for at least an hour (covered with cling wrap). Then put it in the fridge.
Scrape remaining caramel sauce out of the saucepan with leftover bits of cake. Or anything else you have. Trust me, it's delicious.
After your panna cotta has had several hours to set (at least - I recommend 4-5), get the caramel sauce out of the fridge and microwave until it is pourable but not hot.
Pour the sauce over the set panna cotta - fill the glasses most of the way to the top with it.
Sprinkle cake crumbs over the top. If you want the cake to sink in to the caramel, do this right after pouring it on. If you want it to sit on top, put the panna cotta back in the fridge for at least an hour before sprinkling it on. Either way works.
Put it all back in the fridge for another hour or two, and then serve.

Boozing, bamboozling and Last Christmas (2014)
April 1, 2016 johnnyspandrell	Leave a comment
This is turning into an unexpectedly festive blog. Out of eleven Christmas specials, my random Who spreadsheet has now spat out eight of them. A disproportionate representation if there was ever was one. It's like a fixation. Every few weeks it's Christmas again.
Now we're up to Last Christmas, the only Doctor Who story named after a Wham! song (working title: Wake me up before you go-go, Crab Face). With The Husbands of River Song still fresh in the memory, I thought it might be time to reflect on a decade of Christmas specials. A decade! How weird to think that when I sat down to watch The Christmas Invasion I was ten years younger. And just as weird to think that Doctor Who at Christmas has become regular seasonal viewing. Traditional even.
One thing I do remember from a decade ago is thinking that Doctor Who and Christmas didn't seem like natural bed fellows. It's not unusual for the publicity machine surrounding the annual Christmas episode to spout stuff like 'Doctor Who and Christmas just seem to go together!' I've never thought so. I've always imagined sitcoms and variety shows as the ones which indulge in festive excursions, not drama series and certainly not sci-fi. But ten years and eleven specials on, it seems more natural and certainly a holiday treat to savour.
But I should point out I watch these specials from Australia, which has no strong tradition of Christmas day television viewing – unlike the UK, where it's one of the most important ratings nights of the year. In Australia, it's high summer and in the middle of non-ratings period. People aren't generally watching TV at all, they're still immersed in festive celebrations stretching on into the balmy evening. And the Christmas special is never on a consistent day or time anyway, so there's no automatic relationship with Christmas evening as there is in the UK.
Still, the Spandrells have their own tradition, heading round to a friend's house on Boxing Day to join in a communal Who watching. It's always slow to start and slow to finish because it involves much wine and gossip and laughs. So even if Doctor Who and Christmas seem oddly matched, we've turned it into something brilliant. That's the best part of it all.
In the funny, boozy aftermath of these viewings, all of the Christmas specials seem great. It's only in the days afterwards that I get a chance to review and reconsider them. Sometimes the gloss wears off faster than others. Last Christmas is more rewarding than most to repeat viewings, and I've grown to admire its dexterity and its sly humour. But my latest look at it has caused me to wonder, now that we have a critical mass of Doctor Who Christmas specials, can we now tell what makes a good one? And how does Last Christmas compare?
Which leads me to consult my old friend, the Doctor Who Magazine 50th anniversary poll. For those who haven't come across this yet, it's a ranking of every story up to The Time of the Doctor. Respondents are asked to give each story a mark out of 10, and the results averaged to produce a percentage score. The list below shows each Christmas episode's position out of 241 stories and its final score:
57. The Christmas Invasion 77.93%
68. The Snowmen 76.56%
82. The End of Time 74.87%
95. The Time of the Doctor 72.85%
97. A Christmas Carol 72.60%
149. The Next Doctor 67.94%
153. The Runaway Bride 67.70%
158. Voyage of the Damned 67.11%
229. The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe 55.12%
What this list tells us is that on the whole, we're not that fussed on Christmas specials. Only one – the original, The Christmas Invasion – is placed in the top 60 (i.e. the top 25% of stories), even though on average it's nearly an 8/10 story. Competition is fierce.
We find four Christmas specials in the next 40 stories, safely in the second quartile. In general it seems that when a special contains a big event – a Doctor or companion's debut or farewell, then we're interested. The third quartile contains another three, including the one with Kylie. That might seem fairly unenthusiastic response, but there's very little in it. Between The Snowmen and Voyage of the Damned there's only 9.45 points. Basically, they're all at 6s and 7s out of ten.
No, there's only one we really dislike. That's The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe, at very close to the bottom of the list. It seems inoffensive enough to me, but perhaps it is the most sentimental of the Christmas specials, and maybe that's we don't want so sickly a sweet dessert after Christmas dinner. And looking at the top of the list – The Christmas Invasion and The Snowmen, perhaps they are the scariest of this yuletide bunch. What makes a good Christmas special, is if you bring all the frights.
You couldn't accuse Last Christmas of being sentimental and it's also very creepy. Maybe that's why we like it best. In DWM's latest poll, its readers scored it a 78.70%, which would have trumped all its fellow Christmas compadres (although we should remember that scores for new stories tend to head south once the excitement of the initial broadcast has faded).
It's also mind bendingly complex, and hugely referential to other works (and oh yes, it co-stars Santa). All this seems to play against what we've been told about Christmas specials: that they have to be simple rollicking adventures for a half drunk audience. They shouldn't be taxing on the brain or the nerves.
Last Christmas's reception seems to show the opposite. That you can take risks at Christmas and give the audience a little more credit. Don't assume that they'll be stuffed to the gills with food, half sloshed and chatting regularly throughout. I mean, I will of course. But don't assume everyone else will be.
LINK to The Keeper of Traken: Interestingly, the endings of both leave the viewer with a nagging sense of unease. Traken most obviously, but Last Christmas and its last shot of the tangerine leave us wonder if we really have finally penetrated the last layer of dreams or not.
NEXT TIME… Now if you excuse me, I must be getting along. It's The Chase, you know.

The Duchess of Cambridge looked stunning as she arrived at the RAF base in Cyprus to honour military personnel serving overseas during Christmas. We loved the mother-of-three's latest look - an olive green blazer by Smythe with wide lapels and statement button detail at the cuffs, a pair of classic trousers which cost £130 from Jigsaw and a simple white T-shirt. To complete her look she added a smart buckled belt and a pair of olive green suede shoes with a matching L.K.Bennett bag - let's not forget she's the Queen of matching. The royal wore her sumptuous brunette hair pulled away from her face and wore subtle makeup. Prince William and Kate met with men and women separated from their loved ones over the festive period as they took part in operations against Islamic State (IS).
Despite having a late night at Buckingham Palace the night before - Kate looked super fresh and glowing. Dressed to the nines on Tuesday evening, she opted for a stunning baby blue floor length-dress which featured a tulle overlay with incredible silver embellishments. She accessorised with a stunning pair of pearl earrings which were previously owned by her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. However, despite her impeccable sartorial choice, it was her diamond tiara that stole the show - the Lover's Knot.
Earlier that day, we saw the royal couple host a Christmas party for families from RAF Coningsby and RAF Marham who have a relative deployed abroad - including Cyprus.
The Duchess looked remarkably festive in a black cashmere cardigan which she teamed with a red checked pleated skirt by one of her favourite designers Emilia Wickstead. During the event, Kate told the invited wives, partners, grandparents and children: "Not only are we grateful for you coming here to join our party, but also for the sacrifices you make on a daily basis on behalf of the nation."


The cookie-cutter weight-loss and weight-gain plans won't cut it in the competitive sports world. Hitting the gym for 30-60 minutes, working traditional split routines, training for 10-12 reps, resting, and repeating might help you forge what looks like a battle-ready body—but it's not necessarily the one that packs the punch you need on the field or court.

SEC not finished with scrutiny of self-reporting firms
March 26, 2019, 4:12 p.m. EDT
Firms are facing additional scrutiny over mutual funds share-class selection, even after 79 companies have already settled with the SEC during the agency's self-reporting initiative related to inadequate disclosure of 12b-1 fees.
The SEC has requested further information from at least two of the firms that had self-reported, this time regarding revenue sharing fees, according to two attorneys who represent firms before the SEC. The probe comes after the firms had voluntarily submitted information regarding their 12b-1 marketing and distribution fees.
It's not immediately clear how many firms may face additional scrutiny over share-class selection after self-reporting, according to Brian Rubin of Eversheds Sutherland. The other attorney asked not to be identified.
Firms were surprised to receive a follow-up letter from the SEC, Rubin says. "They assumed that the SEC's initiative would be dealing with all areas of [mutual fund share class selection] which the SEC was concerned," he says.
A spokeswoman at the SEC declined to comment on whether it was investigating any of the 79 firms that had settled. Financial Planning emailed 49 of the 79 broker-dealer RIA firms that agreed to share-class settlements. Of those, 38 did not respond, six declined to comment beyond noting their recent settlements and five declined to comment at all.
Some firms that didn't self-report are also under scrutiny related to 12b-1 fees and other forms of revenue sharing. At least two firms have received letters from the SEC requesting data on all revenue-sharing payments, including 12b-1 fees, according to redacted documents obtained by Financial Planning.
"The investigation is a non-public, fact-finding inquiry," one letter from the SEC Division of Enforcement states. "The investigation does not mean that we have concluded that your firm or anyone else has violated the law."
The SEC defines revenue-sharing payments as those "made by a clearing firm as a result of investments by Advisory Clients in certain mutual funds and/or money market funds," according to the letters. The data inquiry also requests documentation of 12b-1 revenue the firm received as part of "ongoing annual marketing and distribution fees paid by a mutual fund per Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940."
One firm was given 15 days to produce documentation dating back to November 2013 on 12b-1 fees and revenue sharing payments the firm had collected; written policies, procedures and guidelines regarding share-class selection in client accounts; as well as internal communication of former SEC cases regarding mutual fund share class selection, according to a letter sent to a firm from the SEC's Philadelphia regional office.
FINRA and the SEC have leveled more than 50 other enforcement cases involving share classes of mutual funds over the last five years. The SEC originally announced the self-reporting initiative regarding disclosures of 12b-1 fees in mutual fund share classes last February. The regulator unveiled the 79 settlements with BDs' affiliated RIAs earlier this month.
"The real issue I see is that the SEC doesn't like 12b-1 fees," says Jaqueline Hummel, partner at Hardin Compliance Consulting. "But they have not eliminated them. They've been bringing forth certain actions against 12b-1 fees for years, but they haven't gotten rid of the rule that allows firms to have them."
In the self-reporting initiative, the SEC focused attention on whether firms were adequately disclosing conflicts of interest and recommending the lowest-priced share classes to retail clients. Some consumer advocates thought the SEC's program did not hit the mark.
"It is an approach that leaves investors without meaningful protections when dealing with advisory firms, particularly dual registrants, who bring many of the broker-dealer conflicts into what was once a relatively pure advisory business model," Barbara Roper, director of investor protection at the Consumer Federation of America, said in an email. "If this is what 'fiduciary' means to the SEC, it is as meaningless as their best interest standard, which also doesn't require brokers to do what is best for their customers."
Broker-dealers have accused the SEC of rulemaking by enforcement, according to a letter sent to the regulator by the American Securities Association, an advocacy group which represents Baird, LPL Financial, D.A. Davidson and other firms that voluntarily participated in the self-reporting initiative.
"In our view, this Initiative has turned into a mechanism for the Commission Staff to flex its muscles on the industry through the questionable act of regulation by enforcement," the letter reads.
A spokeswoman at FSI says the IBD trade group is working with its members on this issue, but declined to comment further. SIFMA sent a letter to the SEC on behalf of its brokerage members that said the regulator was stretching the law by requiring investment advisors to make available every share class of a particular fund for clients, according to The Wall Street Journal. A spokesman at SIFMA did not respond to a request for the letter.
Firms have not had adequate direction on what the regulator's disclosure expectations are around the fees, Hummel says. It was not clear to firms who participated in the self-reporting program what kind of disclosures were expected of them, she says.

James R. Schenck is president and CEO of PenFed Credit Union.
"The self-reporting initiative was somewhat unfair in that [the SEC] said that [a firm's] disclosure wasn't sufficient, but gave no guidance on what appropriate disclosure looked like," she says. "You can't impose a new obligation on people without providing some guidance on what was expected of them."
A spokeswoman at the SEC declined to comment on what guidance firms received as part of the share-class selection investigations. The SEC provided an FAQ page on its website, months after announcing the 12b-1 fee disclosure program.
"The initiative leveraged the expertise of the agency in crafting an efficient approach to remedy a pervasive problem," Steven Peikin, co-director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, said in a statement following the 79 settlements. He added that the SEC has made "tremendous headway" in returning money to retail investors and improving firm disclosures.
Ed Cofrancesco, CEO of International Assets Advisory, an IBD which was not involved in the self-reporting program, says that firms have had adequate time and guidance. Cofrancesco started hearing the SEC was focused on share-class selection a few years ago.
"They gave enough notice, if not official notice," he says.

Autobase Aichi has posted a nice cross section of coverage from this winter's Wonderfest over on Facebook, giving us the chance to see more of the show than what the initial day-of coverage presented to us. Included in that is stills from the product highlight video being shown promoting the upcoming MP-45 Bumblebee version 2.
Featuring a number of cartoon screencap side-by-sides to depict what kinds of moments are possible to re-enact, the video has some angles and details not presented with the color production sample that was on hand at the show. And of course, Masterpiece fans everywhere will be utterly relieved to know that yes MP-45 Bumblebee can fit in the trailer of MP-44 Convoy (and probably MP-10 Optimus as well). Also seen are things like option faces, implied interaction with MP-44's Spike Witwicky mini-figure, and more.

Slaget vid Monterrey ägde rum mellan den 20 och 24 september 1846 under mexikansk-amerikanska kriget. En amerikansk styrka på 6 200 man under Zachary Taylor stormade den befästa staden Monterrey, som hölls av en 7 300 man stark garnison under Pedro de Ampudias befäl. Efter fyra dagars strider kapitulerade mexikanerna, varpå staden föll i amerikanska händer. Under förhandlingarna kom parterna överens om en två månader lång vapenvila.

Upptakten till slaget

Mexikansk reträtt
Den mexikanska nordarmén, som hade besegrats av amerikanerna i slagen vid Palo Alto och Resaca de la Palma, utrymde Texas den 18 maj. Nederlagen hade decimerat de mexikanska trupperna som uppgick till endast 2 600 man vid fälttågets slut. Dess befälhavare, Mariano Arista, avskedades från sin post i början av Juni och ställdes inför krigsrätt. I hans ställe utsågs generallöjtnanten Pedro de Ampudia till ny befälhavare och fick order om att upprätta en försvarslinje vid Saltillo. Moralen bland trupperna var emellertid låg efter motgångarna, varför Ampudia istället valde att dra tillbaka hären till den befästa staden Monterrey. Armén nådde fram till staden i slutet av augusti och erhöll där betydande förstärkningar som ökade dess numerär till 7 300 man. Bland förstärkningarna fanns många irländska soldater som deserterat från den amerikanska armén.

Taylor återupptar offensiven
Samtidigt som strider rasade i Texas drog den amerikanske presidenten James K. Polk, tillsammans med generalmajoren Winfield Scott, upp planer för ett fälttåg mot Mexiko. Enligt dessa skulle Taylors armé på 15 000 man korsa Rio Grande och inta staden Monterrey samtidigt som brigadgeneral John E. Wool ryckte fram mot Chihuahua.

Monterrey var belägen vid en krökning av Santa-Catarinafloden och kantades av Siera Madrre-bergen i sydväst. Genom stadens nordöstra kvarter flöt Arroyo Santa-Luciakanalen. De kraftigaste försvarsverken var belägna vid de östra och västra intågsvägarna. Försvaren vid östsidan utgjordes av en halvfärdig kyrkobyggnad och två mindre skansar. Själva intågsvägen över kanalen skyddades av den befästa Purisimabron. Västsidan försvarade huvudsakligen av två befästa kullar. De mexikanska ställningarna var dock belägna med relativt stora avstånd från varandra.

Då amerikanerna led brist på belägringsartilleri var de tvungna att erövra staden genom stormning. Taylor planerade att anfalla staden från två separata riktningar och delade därför upp sin armé i tre divisioner av vilka en (1:a) skulle angripa de befästa höjderna på stadens västsida. De resterande två divisionerna (2:a och 3:e) skulle samtidigt genomföra ett skenanfall mot den östra sidan och Purisimabron för att förvilla mexikanerna. De få kanoner som medtagits (en mörsare och två haubitsar) stod under direkt befäl av Taylor och grupperades för att bistå anfallet mot stadens östra sida .

Slaget

Skenmanövern mot nordöst
Skenmanövern mot den nordöstra sidan inleddes vid sjutiden. Generallöjtnant John Garlands 850 man starka 1: a division möttes av en mördande artillerield från dem mexikanska ställningarna längs kanalen. I ett desperat försök att minska avståndet, ryckte infanteriet in på stadens gator.  De amerikanska soldaterna var dock inte vana vid att strida i stadsmiljö och flera enheter tappade bort sig i de trånga gränderna. Hela tiden sköt mexikanska soldater ner från hustaken och vållade amerikanerna betydande förluster. Det amerikanska 3:e infanteriregementet genomförde även ett misslyckat anfall mot Purisimabron som kostade många soldater livet.

För att undsätta trupperna i staden satte Taylor in generalmajor William Butlers 3:e division. Huvuddelen av trupperna gick till anfall mot den mexikanska utposten Fort Teneria, som skyddade Ampudias högra flank. Efter hårda strider föll ställningen i amerikanska händer. Samtidigt med anfallet mot Fort Teneria, korsade soldater ur 1:a Ohioregementet Santa-Luciakanalen och lyckades att etablera ett brohuvud på andra sidan.

Intensiv mexikansk eldgivning tvingade dock amerikanerna att dra sig tillbaka. Tillsammans med enheter ur 3:e divisionen gjorde de ett sista misslyckat försök att korsa kanalen, men tvingades slutligen att dra sig tillbaka från staden. De retirerade trupperna anfölls av mexikanska lansiärer, men kastade tillbaka dessa.

Anfallet hade stått amerikanerna dyrt med 394 döda och sårade. Trupprörelserna distraherade dock Ampudia från anfallet som kom västerifrån.

Kampen om höjderna
Den amerikanska 2:a divisionen under brigadgeneralen William J. Worths befäl inledde sin framryckning vid samma tid som de övriga förbanden. Vid sextiden anfölls hans kolonner av mexikanskt kavalleri som emellertid kastades tillbaka. Worths framskjutna enheter utsattes snart för artillerield från de mexikanska ställningarna. För att trygga framryckningen beslöt sig amerikanerna för att genast inleda anfallet mot höjderna. Amerikanerna korsade floden och intog den sydligaste av höjderna utan större svårigheter. Framryckningen fortsatte tills ett kraftigt regnoväder gjorde slut på dagens strider. Vid tre-tiden följande dag gick 470 amerikanska soldater till anfall mot den kvarvarande höjden. De fåtaliga försvararna drog sig då tillbaka till det närliggande biskopspalatset. Understödda av elden från en medtagen haubits och kanoner som släpats upp på den redan erövrade höjden, lade amerikanerna byggnaden under belägring. Då ställningen inte kunde intas utan svåra förluster, beslöt sig Worth för att försöka locka ut mexikanerna. Han lämnade därför endast en liten styrka för att bevaka artilleriet, medan resten av trupperna tog betäckning utom synhåll för försvararna. När mexikanerna sedan upptäckte vad de trodde var en amerikansk reträtt, gick de till motanfall. Så fort som försvararna hade lämnat sin ställning, gick amerikanerna åter till attack och intog byggnaden.

Striderna om stadskärnan
Följande morgon gick amerikanerna till anfall från två håll mot det inre av staden. Worths division anföll från fäst medan 1:a och 2:a divisionerna åter trängde in i staden från nordöst. Ampudia hade då dragit tillbaka sina trupper från kanalen, som korsades av anfallarna utan större problem.  För att undvika förlustbringande gatustrider sprängde amerikanerna håll i dörrar eller fönster för sedan inta byggnaderna en efter en. Efter hårda strider rensades hus efter hus på mexikaner, vilka stegvis drog sig in mot stadskärnan.

Ampudia kapitulerar
Ampudia, som ansåg ytterligare motstånd vara meningslöst, inledde förhandlingar med Taylor. Den 25 kom man överens om en vapenvila. Den mexikanska garnisonen lovades fritt avtåg och fick behålla sina vapen, packdjur samt några lätta artilleripjäser. President Polk blev dock rasande över de, enligt honom, förnedrande kapitulationsvillkoren, men kunde inget göra.

Resultat och följder
Segern hade blivit dyr för amerikanerna med 136 döda och 368 sårade. De mexikanska förlusterna var lättare och uppgick till 122 döda och 316 sårade. Trots att en av Mexikos största städer fallit i amerikanska händer var Taylors seger inte fullständig. Ampudias armé lyckades undkomma i stort sett intakt, och fick dessutom behålla sina vapen. Efter slaget drog sig Ampudia tillbaka till Tampico. Den överenskomna vapenvilan varade sedan i två månader.
