Sao Paulo managed to hold on to a 1-1 draw against Gremio on Wednesday despite having three
players get sent off in the final 15 minutes. Of the three tackles that earned early dismissals, I
think the butt kick/head slap combo (15 seconds in) would have to be the most original.
But if you want to see something that will make the above video look like bingo night at the old
folks home, check out this clip of the MMA battle between the BYU and New Mexico women's teams.

Outro problema para o Vitória FC. Quando se começa a esticar a
corda esta parte por algum lado. Só espero que não seja para o lado do clube de Setúbal.
Notícia e história confusa que mete também o BPN.

I like people who are prepared to show a bit of courage now and then and stand up to the crowd.
I have no problem with people being prepared to make unpopular decisions if their motives are good
and they have really thought through the consequences.
But I am equally clear that there is a difference between this and simply being thick-skinned.

Martin Allen to spend more time on his own plotIts not dull supporting a lower
league team. Whilst dramas are reported daily from the dizzy heights of premier league they still
seem remote. Down in the basement its personal and up close. Someone knows someone who's on the
staff or makes the tea or drives the bus.

Is it ever a good idea to invite your boss to a social function? I guess since it was his
wedding, Ryan Stevenson (above, left), a midfielder for Scottish First Division side Ayr United,
was obligated to invite his manager, Brian Reid, but when the boss arrived, he immediately proved
to be the worst wedding guest since your senile aunt Linda and her suffocated cat wrapped as a
present by shutting down the bar.

As a sports presenter on our local community radio (Every other Saturday afternoon 3-5pm), I feel
duty bound to keep an eye on our local football team "Forest Green Rovers" who inhabit a local hill
and the Blue Square Premiership.
The club sponsors the station and we regularly play jingles encouraging people to go along to
watch.

Stefan Bondy of The Record has done what no other reporter has been able to do;
get the scoop on Osorio and Agoos. The verdict? Both men will be gone once the
season has hit its final game (That would explain Agoos and Stover cashing in on
their vacation time, no?

Seriously, female Sounders fans. You've watched me meticulously analyze the ramifications of WPS
putting it's players in various shades of pink. You've observed me taking on Peter Wilt for having
his players judge a car show on Fathers day. You've seen me suggest that the Sirens of Soccer are
perhaps a bit too over-sexualized in the media.

Ooh! Reports from Barcelona have declared that David Veeya will be a
Barca player next season after his agent Jose Luis Tamargo and the club's
technical secretary and director, Raul Sanllehí Txiki Begiristain met in
Asturias. Well, it could've easily been for a round of bingo but who knows?

It is with great sadness that we welcome you to Day Fourteen the last of our
Selecao Bootcamp specials! Here's Robinho welcoming you
with the "D" face. Determinação, we mean. He's probably listening to "Beat It" on his
ipod as the man behind mysteriously looks on.

As we all know, Barcelona won the Champions League in fine style last night.
And, as we also all know, there was a shocking disregard for the historic tradition of post-game
chest festivities. Nary a bare torso could be seen on the pitch.
Even Cristiano. Et tu, Brute?
We were shocked.

I had a nice surprise this week.
Do you remember recently I had an email from a correspondent from Nike who promised to send me a
book?
Well you know how it is with these things. I only half expected to receive something.
Imagine my joy then when I got home on Thursday evening to find a card from the postman to say
there was a parcel for Georgina Best waiting for collection.

football yard.
Fans all over the world enjoy football betting through online sports betting sites like 888sport.

Dear Sir
I couldn't help but disagree with a letter I read in the correspondence section of the August
edition of your magazine FourFourTwo (page 11).
Oli Kristall of Leeds (where else?) seems to be suggesting that because England's top players are
playing each other week in week out in the Premiership, the fierce rivalry then prevents them
working effectively together when they are brought under the England banner.

Unfortunately that title is a little misleading, as Ronaldo is neither planning to play in goal nor
suffering from chubby-chasing chaffage, that was just the most sensational sentence I could piece
together from Bingo Caller Slang.
Yes that's right, Ronaldo has today revealed a passion for blue-rinse
favourite bingo.
