It's nice but it's bit of a slog to load on a crappy computer/internet connection. Are there plans for an option to hide/turn off each news source (and save that so it sticks on a revisit)?

An incredible collection of photos

I thought the Euros had lost their spark after the first half of Turkey Czech last night. I turned the TV off and drove my girlfriend back to London. I've always been a superb forecaster of these things. Ha!

Steve Downie at it again.

hockey is a sport where the men on the ice handle any issues regarding borderline play I don't think trying to poke someone's eye out or having a go at someone's head comes under the category of "borderline."

Mourinho for England manager?

Maybe Benitez will be available soon. Agh. I hope not. I really hope the owners see some sense.

Liverpool bury Besiktas 8-0.

All eight goals. In French. Oo-la-la! In English (crappy audio quality, but what you gonna do?)

Liverpool inconsistency not caused by Rafa's rotation but by Gerrard's lack thereof.

I can see the argument that you can't build your central midfield with him, but it also seems silly to play him on the right if the expectation is that he's just going to cut-in/roam wherever the hell he pleases because that's just setting yourself up to have insufficient cover on the right. Besides which, true as the arguments made may be, a healthy, in-form Alonso can cover up for a lot of Gerrard's weakness which IMO is the main reason for the current problems.

Mourinho Departs from Chelsea

Not a Chelsea fan at all, but Mourinho was good for them. Definitely their loss, regardless of the lackluster results thus far this season.

Women's World Cup 2007.

I've been following Canada's group on CBC. Looking at the stats now, those Germans really beat up on poor Argentina, eh?

Report: San Jose Gets Expansion MLS Franchise

I don't really follow MLS but color me confused. Doesn't New York already have the red bulls? I guess it hasn't stopped them from having 2 teams in other sports, but it seems a little silly given that rarely are both teams ever competitive in the same season.

In Praise of 'Soccer'

List of countries by beer consumption per capita Rank Country Consumption (L/yr) 1 Czech Republic 156.9 I believe that. I remember being in a supermarket in the Czech Republic and being completely dumbfounded that beer cost less than bottled water. Don't they use water to make beer?!?

Yashin Laughin' all the way to the bank

Ditto DiPietro in a few years. He's good, could be even be great, but 15 years? Who in their right mind thinks that's a good idea?

'Hubba Hubba and Other Grunting Sounds'

Is there any hope of avoiding this kind of situation for an attractive female athlete? Pretty much no. Picture the stereotypical construction workers catcalling at passing women. Now replace those construction workers with hormone addled teens with anonymity.
