Naming The 2014 World Cup Ball
In a move of ingenious foresight, adidas has handed over the task of naming the ball for the 2014 World Cup to the fans, so that when everyone complains that its flight is dictated by voodoo, they can just say, “Well you chose it.” Even if they only chose the name. And then everyone will [...]

David Beckham not where he should be
CARSON, Calif. -- David Beckham says he's happy to be back in Los Angeles.
He's happy to be back home with his wife and kids. He's happy to be back with his Los Angeles Galaxy teammates. He's happy to be enjoying the Olympics in London, like the rest of America, on tape delay from the comfort of his living room.
But you can tell he's not really happy, and he has every right to feel that way.
On Thursday night, Beckham was on the field at the Home Depot Center to take on his former team, Real Madrid, in front of 30,317, the largest soccer crowd ever at the stadium.Source: http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/soccer/post/_/id/17695/david-beckham-not-where-he-should-be
DTotD: U-17 goalkeeper nearly puts his foot through opponent?s midsection
According to 101 Great Goals, this video comes from a U-17 friendly between French sides AS Villaret and SOM, but the moment of impact feels like it happened to you. After receiving a backpass, the goalkeeper tries to get the ball around an opponent in the box, but it gets away from him and a second attacker beats him to it. So, the goalkeeper neutralizes the threat and liquifies his opponent's intestines by delivering a flying boot to his midsection with the force of a car crash.
We don't know if the victim survived that kick, but if he did, he will be giving birth to the goalkeeper's boot in about nine months.
This has been the Dirty Tackle of the Day: a chronicling of unfortunate events.
Celtic?s Kris Commons takes a dig at Rangers, offers to let Juventus train in his garden
Celtic, the darlings of the Champions League this season and reason for Rod Stewart's tears, will play Juventus in the round of 16. For some, facing the�formidable�Italian champions might be cause for quiet focus, but for Celtic's Kris Commons, it's just a chance to make jokes about Rangers being in the Scottish Third Division.
From The Herald:
The Italian side have been offered the use of Rangers' Murray Park training ground today ? "if they want to train at a Division Three training ground let them get on with it. They can train in my back garden, it would make no difference," Commons said, ahead of his own team fine tuning their preparations.
And that's how you do that.
Juve did end up training at Murray Park and Rangers even changed their own training plans to accomodate their guests. I guess whoever had Commons' back garden reserved wasn't as flexible.
