Last week we highlighted the above video a rather enjoyableimaginingof a world where Wayne Rooney moonlights as secret agent 007. The Manchester United striker's performances at international level are a bit ropey so it would be interesting to see if he could buck that trend on the biggest spying stage.
Steven Gerrard has urged Liverpool's youngsters that they can't afford to be patient and must prove
themselves worthy of a place in the first-team.
The likes of Raheem Sterling, Jonjo Shelvey and Adam Morgan have impressed while on the club's
pre-season tour and will be hoping that new Reds manager Brendan Rodgers gives them a chance in the
Premier League.
In a showdown between two teams with Fenway Sporting Group connections; Liverpool, the John
Henry owned team had to bow before the Thomas De Benedetto led faction which took over Roma last
year.
Michael Bradley who joined Roma earlier this month scored from a tight angle after Erik Lamela
put him through.
When the Czech Republic first take to the field against Russia, on 8 June, many of their fans may
be worrying just where their goals are going to come from. Michal Bilek's side only found the net
on 12 occasions, despite conceding just eight in a successful qualifying campaign.
The concern can be found in a lack of a reliable goal scorer.
Like Liverpool before them, money-enriched Russian club Anzhi needed a rap song about them. But
instead of going the Liverpool route and having the players do it themselves, Anzhi brought in
Russian rapper Timaro to do the heavy lifting while members of the squad served as video
filler.
The whole thing is pretty straight forward, but the best part of the video is manager Guus
Hiddink's very brief cameo towards the end.
It turns out it was quite a comedic cameo from Jamie Carragher in yesterday's Carling Cup final
victory over Cardiff. As well as his rugby efforts, Carra also celebrated the penalty shootout win
with this high five disaster with keeper Pepe Reina. If Kenny Dalglish ever finds himself needing
to explain why the stalwart is [.
A few months ago, it looked as though Manchester United were set to lose their brightest young
talents, with Ravel Morrison and Paul Pogba reportedly looking for more money elsewhere.
Since then, it appears as though Morrison wasn't offered a new contract, with United becoming
fed up with his failure to attend training and drama that followed him, whilst Pogba has been given
a chance with the first team.
Manchester United forward Robin van Persie believes that the introduction of Paul Scholes and
not his hat-trick was the main reason why the Red Devils came from behind to beat Southampton 3-2
yesterday.
Van Persie scored United's first equalizer minutes following Rickie Lambert's early opening goal
and even after Morgan Schneiderlin restored the Saints' advantage, the Dutchman added two late
goals to secure all three points for Sir Alex Ferguson's men.
It was very interesting to watch the game. -Roberto Di Matteo
Rob was, of course, talking about the German Cup final between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern
Munich, not Sunday's largely irrelevant bout of monkeyshines at Stamford Bridge. We finished sixth
in the Premier League somebody call my mama.
When Thierry Henry called rookie Connor Lade one of the New York Red Bulls' players of the
season more than a week ago, the high praise seemed a bit generous. Last Saturday, Lade showed just
why Henry and his teammates are so high on the St. John's product.
Lade turned in a Man of the Match-caliber effort in providing two assists in the Red Bulls' 2-0
victory against the Philadelphia Union.
If at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again. And again. And again. And again
seven more times.
After going winless in their last 10 regular season games, the Revolution finally handed the
Fire a defeat during Saturday's 2-0 victory at Gillette Stadium.
While the Revs were pleased to snap the embarrassing streak, there were other storylines
unfolding between the first and final chirps of the whistle.

CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE.
Right, now that we're past the obvious, we've got work to do. Amidst the celebrations this
summer, Chelsea have set out on a course to reshape the squad through a series of transactions, the
majority of which remain pending.
Our match viewing beer/spritzer/liquor goggles, caught in still frame. Yowser, yesterday's games
were doozies, weren't they Kickettes? Wayne Rooney scored in his triumphant return from suspension,
John Terry saved the day for England (which the referees' chief later said should've been a goal)
and Shevchenko's 20 minute cameo failed to give us a good glimpse of [.
With his current contract drip-dripping away, Arsenal have got it all on to keep Robin van
Persie at the Emirates next season. Word is that there's a £130,000-a-week offer on the table, but
Van Persie is yet to peruse it, let alone shake on it due to Holland's whirlwind-of-shite cameo at
Euro 2012.
This article titled "Euro 2012: Roy Hodgson's England choices pay off for the group stages" was
written by Dominic Fifield, for The Observer on Saturday 16th June 2012 17.54 UTC
HE'S SOLVED THESE PROBLEMS ...
1. Created team spirit
The potential was there for England to appear divided in Poland, a legacy of the furore over Rio
Ferdinand's non-selection, or even feel undercooked given Hodgson's belated appointment and, since
then, the lack of time for him to make a real mark.
Nasri has lost it! by KJ The commotion last night was hilarious. France were defeated by Spain 2-0
and Nasri was completely anonymous during his short cameo. However, as you'd expect, journalists
wanted the player's views on why France crashed out in such an underwhelming fashion. When they got
to Nasri, here's exactly what the [.
We kick off this edition of 'Weekend Wrap' with an epic photo of
Arsenal's goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, attempting ballet like
pimps do. The Gunners recently filmed a video with dancers from the English National
Ballet in a tie-up to promote their Official Automotive partner.
At the end of Saturday night's Match of the Day, crisp-hawker and master of the bland, Gary
Lineker, decided to push his own presenting skills to daring new limits by including an 'hilarious'
Arsene Wenger impersonation.
Tinged with what could be construed as a hint of xenophobia as well as what seemed like a fair
amount of bitterness, Lineker's little comedy cameo seemed rather out of place on the
programme.

Sunderland 0-0 Tottenham www.sporsun.com by sporsun
Lets characterize this match as one that you would not choose to introduce anyone to the sport
of soccer. It was a match thick with overall incompetence and incoherence. Still in those
misconstrued passes there was something oddly compelling in the same train-wreckish way Sarah Palin
flunks the most basic of foreign policy questions.

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard put in a guest appearance in last night's Sport Relief Outnumbered
special. Lamps finds himself pitting his wits against the youngest member of the Brockman family,
Karen, who is his mascot for a match against Aston Villa. There's even a cameo for closet netball
player Howard Webb.
It was only by the time Cristiano Ronaldo managed to score his second goal for the night, to make
it 2-0 for Real Madrid that I finally managed a sigh of relief. ‘This wasn't going to end up like
those matches' – I thought, recalling our slip-ups against Valencia and Getafe. There would be no
freakish, frantic comeback for the opponent and no moments of panic for our boys – just absolute
control of the match and further questions if we can manage a 3rd , 4th, 5th goal and so on.
EA Sports has released a snippet of their FIFA 13 TV commercial, and it stars the one-and-only
Harry Redknapp. The former Tottenham Hotspur manager makes a cameo in the FIFA 13 TV advert.

FIFA 13 hits stores next month, and EA released a trailer Tuesday of what fans and gamers can
expect from the latest edition of the popular video game (watch for the cameo from New York Red
Bulls DP Tim Cahill). Enjoy:
Blending the look of Milk Tray Man and James Bond, a tuxedo wearing David Beckham transported the
Olympic torch to last night's opening ceremony in London via a flashy speedboat a super-slick
looking journey that included whizzing under Tower Bridge with spectacular fireworks leading his
way. Everybody predicted that Ex-England captain David Beckham would [.
Another strong defensive performance by a Clarence Goodson-led back line helped Brondby hang on for
the win while Chris Rolfe's short cameo for Aalborg ended in red during their loss to Horsens.
Turns out that the thing to fill the late-season gaps in the schedule is producing
club-sponsored music videos. This one's a little less standard than PSG's recording of their
anthem, what with being a ripoff of a pop track and all. Plus there are Furries. Or what look to
be, anyway.
There is not enough time to discuss the delightful "coincidence" of Christoph Daum being their
coach, either.
