I was very pleasantly surprised this morning to discover the Google logo celebrating the start of the Cricket World Cup:

Not only this, but this weeks Time magazine has a brief article encouraging American’s to use the World Cup as a chance to get a feel for the game.
Here’s to cricket!
Other exciting news on the sporting […]

Well, I am starting to feel a bit better, still some way from 100% though. But seeing the England result is definitely making me feel much better. Nothing like giving the Scots a good kicking!

Go Europe! Another thrilling Ryder Cup has come to its conclusion with Europe winning for the third consecutive time. Fantastic!

Another interesting article in today’s Guardian newspaper, this time on the strong Christian element to the US Ryder Cup team:
Tom Lehman, as Sam Torrance famously remarked at another Ryder Cup, calls himself a man of God.
It was the American’s part in his countrymen’s enchanting victory charge across the 17th green at Brookline in 1999 that […]

I’ve been driving quite a bit this morning and so have been able to listen to the first few holes of The Ryder Cup - one of golf’s biggest tournaments. I love the Ryder Cup. It turns a highly individualistic sport into an amazing team competition. There seems to be and edge to it that […]

Ronaldinho looks at them and says, […]

It’s now just 8 hours until England play one of our bogey teams - Sweden - in our third group match of the World Cup. We haven’t beaten them for 800 years (approximately) - ok, really “just” 38 - and even having a Swedish coach hasn’t helped our cause. Let’s hope we put an end […]

What a good result for the USA today. Who’d of thought they’d get a draw against Italy after their dismal performance against the Czech Republic? Well here’s a picture of Rachel expressing her support for the USA during the game…I hope our American readers appreciate that!!
