I’d hate to work out how many hours I’ve spent watching the Warriors.
Say 20 games a year – most years more – times 10 years times 2 hours … that’s a lot of time!!! (Actually, is around 400 hours which is … a lot of time!).
Sunday’s game was bizarre.
The Warriors didn’t seem to try [...]

… is usually a ball or wheel.
But in this case, the round object is a soccer ball and for 89 minutes plus plenty of seconds, the Footballeroos (we can’t call the bootiful game soccer, now can we??) looked like they were going to make the last 8 of the world cup … sorry, the [...]

You gotta love our mates across the ditch.

It’s not like we haven’t said it before, but the Super 14 wasn’t as super as the powers that be would have liked.

Some of the more enlightened of you will wonder why a story about WAG’s is classified under Soccer. Others will be demanding that the site’s records manager change the classificication to Football.

Obviously, all their focus [...]

You know you’re in trouble when you start quoting Gary Glitter.
Mind you, where would American sports be without Rock’n’Roll Part II? Having said that, most Vietnamese won’t be interested in American sports when it comes to Gary Glitter.
