Can you still really play two sports at the elite level in Australia?
Ellyse Perry thinks so and with great support from Matildas Coach Tom Sermanni over the years she
has done so.
But her recent decision to play cricket for Australia and miss the semi and final of the W-League
season left me wondering where now for Ellyse?
As London went Siberian (although not for me; watched at home while looking after the boy)
Fulham were much as Fulham are. Yes, we lacked a true number 25, but individual players are
always less important than we think they'll be. In truth we looked more or less okay.
Fulham lined up with what was more or less a 4-4-2, Murphy and Sidwell flanked by Duff and
Davies, with Dempsey and Ruiz a surprising but skilful front two.
The US Women's National Team demolished their first two opponents in their quest to London. First
up was a CONCACAF minnow who fell prey to the USWNT's elite squad in less than ten minutes. The
Dominican Republic fell by the embarrassing score of 14-0.
Some raised questions of a mercy rule while others criticized the Americans for punishing such a
weak squad into a pulp.

If ever there was a match made in Heaven in the footballing world, it would have to be between
Arsenal and Thierry Henry, who have found each other again after a five-year absence, with the
magic the same as it ever was.
It was an otherwise drab encounter, with little to get excited about as a makeshift Arsenal team
struggled to break down a determined and dogged Leeds side coming with only one intention a
lucrative replay.
Mail: Manchester United fans do the Poznan against Manchester City
What's all this, then? I thought everything was going against Manchester United. Not only have
they beaten rivals City, but mocked their celebrations too.

Despite Cristiano Ronaldo's impressive form which is seeing him lead the top scorer's list in
the Spanish La Liga, it is looking very likely that Messi will win the FIFA Ballon d'Or for a 3rd
consecutive year when the gala takes places on Monday.
Ronaldo's muted celebrations against Granada yesterday are fueling a lot of rumours that the
Portuguese star could be on the verge of a break down especially with the constant comparisons to
Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

We weren't sure whether we could love Timmy Howard any more. Just to recap, we know that he
looks like this naked and is clearly an 'all-round top bloke' if our recent convo with
him was anything to go by. But his response to scoring a wind-assisted wonder goal vs.

I will make this quick. As I have mentioned in passing before, I live in the Midlands, and have
a season ticket in the North Bank, so going to Arsenal is something of a day trip for me.
I am just back, and need to change for the evening's celebrations with the [...]

Arsenal have unveiled statues of Herbert Chapman, Tony Adams and Thierry Henry to mark the
club's 125th anniversary this weekend.
The official unveiling of the statues outside the Emirates Stadium as part of the club's
celebrations took place this afternoon.
Chapman, who led the club to their first league titles in 1931 and 1933, Adams, who captained
Arsenal to five league titles across three decades, and Henry, the club's record goalscorer with
226, were the men honoured.

It didn't come as a surprise. Jeonbuk Motors led the K-league from early in the season and were the
best team for most of it. Choi Kang-hee's men should have won the Asian title too but had to make
do with the domestic title to add to the 2009 crown.
The inevitable came to pass on December 4 in the second leg of the Championship play-off final
against Ulsan Horangi.
Didier Drogba scored a brace either side of a first-half goal from Ramires to guide Chelsea to a
3-0 win over Valencia that sees them qualify for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.
After many question marks raised over his abilities in recent months, the 33-year old Drogba
looked very much like his old self as he opened the scoring as early as the 3rd minute.
After a three year drought, Boca Juniors finally claimed the Argentinian title following last
night's 3-0 win at home to CA Banfield in the Torneo Apertura (Opening Championship). Boca only
needed one point to be sure of the title but sealed the deal with a win in front of their loyal
followers at the Bombonera stadium in Buenos Aires and begin the celebrations with two rounds of
matches still to be played in the first half of the Argentinian season.
Celebrations, due to the sad and untimely death of the manager of the national team at the
weekend, were perhaps more muted at The Racecourse Ground this evening than they might otherwise
have been. There should, however, be a pause this evening for Wrexham supporters to celebrate a
life well lived as well as the opportunity for a rebirth of their club following the news this
afternoon that the authorities have finally granted their approval for the take-over of the club by
the Wrexham Supporters Trust.

It would be remiss of us to let the day pass without mentioning that, having never been further
than the first round before, Southern League Premier Division side Stourbridge beat League Two
stragglers Plymouth Argyle 2-0 on their own patch last night to reach the second round of the FA
Cup for the first time in the club's history.
From the arrival of the teams to Landon Donovan's title winning goal to the post-match
celebrations, this is Major League Soccer's entertaining six minute capsule (or what MLS calls
MatchDay 360) of MLS Cup 2011. It features some never before seen up close match and behind the
scenes footage from Sunday.
