Despite being sceptical about how much fun this would be to watch from my worn-out world cup sports-sofa I actually really enjoyed the commonwealth games. Especially as England won loads for once (but still couldn't top those darn Aussies!) . Maybe we'd have a chance if the Australian states competed as seperate nations.

Perhaps they should have it the year before the Olympics as a sort of warm-up competition. then it might have a bit more significance - a bit like the situation with the BAFTAs and the OSCARS(tm).

The next few races will possibly be more exiting - Shumie has the championship in the bag and isn't going to be trying as hard. We might even see more than one overtaking attempt per race!

Brazil wins!!!

Ronaldo's going to be the one on the front pages tommorow for sure - as Gary Lineker said "he may floss his teeth with rope, but he's a great player!". In the end it just seemed right that Brazil should win it. In the other final it ended 4-0 and Montserrat are officially the worst team in the world.

Slamball!

Perhaps its going to come from the World Wrestling Federation school of "sport"?

Brazil v Turkey.

Brazil 2 Turkey 2, with a Brazilian golden goal to finish the match. It'd be a pity if the final was between the two 'old powers' though, what with all the suprises thus far.

Spain robbed by linesman

I am getting increasingly worried that there is a FIFA plot to let The Germans win the World Cup :)

World Cup a 'disaster', apparently.

Football 365 chip in with an American-style guide to the England Lions.

What Roy Keane said

Keane seems to have learnt a lot from his Man Utd gaffer.

Britons certainly love the sport - the final pulled in more viewers than the FA cup final!

Are they going to present the Trophy at Old Trafford if the Gooners clinch it?

Washington Warriors?

About time too.

World Cup odds for England?

Bloody Hell we needed Beckham last night. Okay, so we won 4-0 but we played the long ball game - back to the old days of giving away posession every other pass. Come back Bex!

World Cup odds for England?

Beckham will be going to the World Cup, even if he doesn't play in the first game and isn't fully fit for the Argentina match. Sven just can't do without the fella.

Liverpool lose to Bayer Leverkusen...4-2. 4-3 on aggregate.

The A-League sounds like the kind of place Gazza might end up in. Wasn't he supposed to be playing out his career in the US by now?

Probably down to the ref being a Man U supporter or something...
