At times the year of the Goat had been terrific many Pigs but the Monkey year was worse than expected.
Have a first look at the prospects of the 2017 Year of the Rooster which will start on January 28.
Pigs
in the limelight
Manager Carlo Ancelotti is leading the German Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.
Julian Assange is trailing "Indian Tiger Modi" inside the TIME magazine's Person of the Year Poll.
Justin Trudeau has replaced PM Stephen Harper in Canada while Hillary Clinton could not achieve the same glories in the US like Ronald Reagon in one of the previous years of the Monkey.
Manager Unai Emery has won his third consecutive UEFA Cup with Sevilla.
Marco Rubio to lead the Republicans into the presidential election while Mauricio Macri has taken over the presidency in Argentina.
Pigs are the true champions in quick anticipation, fast learning and also relaxation, what does qualify them even for relationships with Tigers.
"Hài" is the Chinese word for Pig and they are believed to be honest what is "zhu".
So no surprise, that Edward Snowden, Julian Asssange and Vitali Klitschko did put their lives at risk while standing up for what they believe to be the right thing.
In the last year of the Rooster in 2005 Kim Clijsters had been a star by winning the U.S. Open and in fact, there were several Pig year born, who had a fine time.
And 24 years ago it was Pete Sampras, who had impressed the world of sports with his cool performance.
Overall, the reigning Rooster and the Pig year born have not become known to be a first class match and so could be the year 2017 with some disputes lined up.
By the end of the day they give a damn and Rooster may scream forever. What counts is, that Pigs want to have fun and that is, where they can easily convince some passionate Rooster.
Certainly the cool Pigs are having a fair chance to be among the winners of the 2017 Rooster Year, but they will have to come up with some improved reliability and some more ambition.
