  1. well, what happened is he was suspended for three games in Legia's last Europa League game. He sat out the two games against St Pat's and the first leg, so all set right?

     

    Nope. Turns out there's a UEFA rule that says you have to be registered for a match to officially miss it, and Legia didn't submit the player on their match roster. So the matches didn't count towards the suspension

     

    So Legia thought he had served the suspension, while according to UEFA's rules he had two games remaining.

  2. Seeing Donovan's quotes, it's quite obvious that he's just burned out... sounds like he no longer had the fire to play at the top of his form (he used the phrasing "obligated to keep playing", and it sounds like that's why Klinsmann didn't pick him for the WC.

     

    Now that he had decided to retire, he's relaxed and playing better.

  3. Germany has a history of not taking celebrating world cup wins well, after the 74 World Cup win, the official party that night was.. less than successful, with german FA folks locking the WAG out of the celebration while the wives of the FA members were allowed in (seriously), and loudly reprimanding one person for being "Too Familiar" with the chancellor of Germany (for the heinous crime of addressing the chancellor by his first name).

     

    Between that, and a row over pre-tournament negotiations about the bonus pot, several German stars immediately left the banquet while it was in progress (heading to the Berlin disco clubs instead), and several quit the German team on the spot.

    Let's Talk Some Football Manager

    "Is that Madrid or Bilbao?" Craig McCorkell just asked Andoni Larrabe, after he just got moved to this table.

    "Athletic Bilbao," Larrabe proudly responded, as he's been supporting his Primera Division club all day.

    "Are you Basque?" McCorkell continued.

    "Yes, and where are you from?" Larrabe asked.

    "I'm from London," McCorkell responded.

    "How do you know Athletic?" Larrabe asked next.

    "I played a season with them on Football Manager," McCorkell said, as Felix Stephensen's ears perked up.

    "How did you do?" a very surprising Larrab responded.

    "I was so s*** with them," McCorkell laughed.

    "What a great topic!" Stephensen chimed in, as the Europeans at the table had a very casually chat about their favorite sport and video games.

    After the remaining players made a big pay jump to $230,487 the atmosphere in the room seems to have taken a turn to the lighter side, because for now this secondary feature table is very much focused on sharing some good old Football Manager stories.

  5. They're celebrating 200 years of playing cricket at Lord's Cricket Ground, and throwing an all star friendly game featuring two all star teams (MCC vs Rest of World XI). Game is live in the US on ONE World Sports

     

    Lots of the recent past stars, (Tendulkar, Warne, Lee, Lara, Sehwag, Collingwood), etcetera.

     

    While it's... not HYPER competitive (rumor has it that they removed Ajmal from the bowling because he had four wickets in his first four overs), it's still competitive.. (Brett Lee accidentally hit Shane Warne with a beamer line drive delivery, probably breaking his hand)
