One of these men is a Premier League referee, the other a gold medal-winning Olympic cyclist can you spot which is which?

In a story rather reminiscent (in a cyber kind of way) of that infamous paediatrician/paedophile mix-up some years back, irate Tottenham fans, angered at the officials' performance in their 2-1 defeat against Stoke on Sunday, have been taking to Twitter in their droves, but directing their (rather justified) ire at cycling legend Sir Chris Hoy, rather than the guilty official, Chris Foy.

What's worse than having the similar name to an unpopular referee? Being famous and having a similar name.

Chris Hoy is an Olympic gold medal (three time) cyclist. Christ Foy is a Premiership referee who had an unfortunate weekend, which then led to lots of unfortunate moments on Chris Hoy's Twitter feed.

Steve Goff of the Washington Post reports that Juergen Klinsmann will earn $2.5 million in base salary to coach the U.S. men's national soccer team — more than four times higher than his predecessor, Bob Bradley, and 13 times larger than women's coach Pia Sundhage.
No other details about Klinsmann's contract, including incentives and other payments, appeared in the U.

Why Giggs and Bale must go for gold

The two powers go head-to-head in the quarterfinals of the World Cup on Sunday in a rematch of the 2008 Olympic gold medal game as a highlight of this weekend's slate of matches.

As the Women's World Cup approaches, the goal is for everyone on the team to stay healthy. Unfortunately for the WNT, a key player went down in last night's game against Japan:

CHICAGO (May 15, 2011) U.S. Women's National Soccer Team midfielder Lindsay Tarpley, a member of the USA's Olympic gold medal winning team in 2004 and 2008 who was also a member of the USA's 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup Team, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee with 15 minutes remaining in the match against Japan on May 14 in Columbus, Ohio.

In what is a clear sign that somebody within U.S. Soccer is still buying what former USWNT head coach Tony DiCicco selling, Sunil Gulati announced appointed April Heinrichs as the Technical Director and Jill Ellis as the Development Director for the U.S. Women's National Teams.

Well, everyone loves Rachel Buehler, but especially cute Chinese babies, of which there seems to be an inordinate amount in Chongqing.
