They say that girls can be a lot crueler then boys and it's no lie if you saw the highlights on ESPN of the college women's soccer match between New Mexico and BYU yesterday. Defender Elizabeth Lambert of New Mexico seemed to be playing the wrong sport as she tackled, punched, kicked, slapped, elbowed, and hair pulled opposing players throughout the match.

Chelsea's transfer ban has been temporarily suspended by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) pending a final decision on the matter.

The Beauty: JoJo (who was born Joanna Noëlle Blagden Levesque) is an American pop star. She rose to fame in the music biz at a very young age, and she parlayed her perfect pipes into a successful acting career. Now, the sky is the limit for the young starlet.

took 3 unanswered goals to the Columbus Crew tonight and the Crew (the best team in the league all season) is out. I only have one thing to say...MAN, did I pick the right team to adopt or what!?

There's something about this win for RSL that screams inflation and deflation. On one hand RSL is on top of the world, probably thinking (as is best) that they can run the table and win the MLS Cup.

It took four rounds of play but the Champions League group stages is finally heating up.

If the group stages finished as they are now, then Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Liverpool would all be playing in the Europa League.

Jose Mourinho and Inter Milan were five minutes away from an 9th consecutive Champions League game without a win, when two late goals not only gave Inter the win, but also propelled them to first place in the group.

The Beauty: Remember those old beer commercials about the Swedish Bikini Team? Yeah, they weren't very funny. But, if such a team did exist, then Helen Svedin would be its Captain. Helen is a Swedish model with a pretty intimidating resume. She's graced the catwalk for several of the world's most honored designers and she has appeared on the cover of major fashion mags the world over.

The Beauty: In the Netherlands, Sylvie van der Vaart is the Queen of the WAGs. Her hubby is a respected player, yes, but that is not why she is the Alpha female in the Dutch WAG hive. It's because she's the fairest beauty not just among the WAGs, but in the entire country according to polls.

Have you voted today?

You did? That's "super"!

Wait, you didn't? You forgot? Again?

Eh, that's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

At look at the winners and losers of another weekend of Premier League action.

Monday 21st December 2009 is a date to mark in your calendars. Once again the world's best footballers both male and female will gather at the Zurich Kongresshaus for the 19th FIFA World Player gala.

A total of 33 strong candidates make the list this year and the main focus will no doubt be in the male category where Lionel Messi will face-off with Cristiano Ronaldo.
