On The Road to South Africa
Of the 736 players who have made it into their relevant World Cup squads, most are either in the air en route or poolside enjoying some bonding with their teammates. You’d have to forgive these guys for scheduling some downtime before the real action begins, after all they have gone through long hard seasons and now face another four weeks if they are lucky. Mark Schwarzer in particular, had... »
Balls.ie Player of the Season
Having long since stepped out of his uncles shadow, our(my) choice for player of the season is none other than Ian Harte. In the five years since he last pulled on the Irish jersey, Harte has been asked to leave seven different clubs(including this Norwegian one where he took part in this very strange interview), from Blackpool to Levante, but today the Drogedha native can bask in the glory that i... »
No more Aldo shuffles
So Mr Blatter is back upon his horse and dealing with the most important issues facing the game of football, not TV replays or extra linesmen, but the stuttering penalty. Blatter and co have ruled that feints at the last second before the kick is taken are illegal – the announcement in full was made by Fifa Secretary General Jerome Valcke “Feinting in the run-up to take a penalty kick ... »

The Next Episode
David Beckham can console himself this summer with the fact that he probably wont have to play Major League Soccer again. His injury may have ruled him out of his last chance World Cup but then again he won’t have to play against Salt Lake City anymore. So what will he do with all this free time, maybe Snoop Dog will have his way.. Snoop tells the Daily Mirror Beckham and I go way back. He’s... »

We featured the Snooker World Championships earlier in the week and sadly we have to revisit the 1980′s sport for similar reasons. Steve Davis like his chosen sport was big in the 80′s and like Federer he had a nemisis in Denis Taylor.

The Special One
Parking the bus at the Nou Camp may not be the most advanced method of knocking out Barcelona but for Jose Mourinho it worked, so it doesn’t matter. You’ve got to hand to the “translator” who looks set for his second Champions League title. The man celebrated like only he could.. and made his point to the Barca fans and those who had ridiculed him upstairs.. Inter won out 3... »
