This seems bizarre at first look. http://beta.rte.ie/sport/soccer/international/2012/1206/357225-uefa-confirm-multi-city-euro-2020/ and http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/european/2013/0124/364334-uefa-make-airport-access-key-for-euro-2020/

We open in 3 weeks in Kazakhstan. From RTE's twitter: Ireland team to play Serbia: Westwood, McShane, O'Shea (c), O'Dea, Kelly, McGeady, Whelan, McCarthy, McClean, Walters, Long At least McCarthy and McClean are in there. We're obviously still very limited, but we were limited last time and...

Just for a laugh, soccernets "Top 50". NO. PLAYER 1 Lionel Messi, Argentina 2 Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal 3 Wayne Rooney, England 4 Kaka, Brazil 5 Xavi, Spain 6 Didier Drogba, Ivory Coast 7 Andres Iniesta, Spain 8 Fernando Torres, Spain 9 Steven Gerrard...

It begins: http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/championship/2009/0512/wexford.html Of course he's appealing it. I don't know what he did, and frankly I don't care, but he probably shouldn't have done it, and the fact that its an amateur game should make absolutely no difference what so ever. Another...

This is pretty strange. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=631619&sec=england&cc=5739

If, in fact I did see what I think I just saw, which was "EMPATHY" tattooed across the lower back of Ciaran Lyng while he was being treated for a knock. There goes Dan's "Worst tattoo in the GAA" crown.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=549294&cc=5739 For some reason, I can't see this lasting more than a season or two.

You never know, someone might care. Only 3 or 4 regular season games left and it looks like after last night it will be Denver in and Golden State out. Dallas are mathematically in as well now. I reckon there are 8 teams with a genuine shot this year: Boston, Detroit, New Orleans, LA, San...

These Federer/Woods comparisons that are so popular lately Does Federer deserve them? Should've beaten Nadal yesterday, and he basically left a long trail of squishy poo scattered around the court. I only saw the second set, and there were times where he broke out the full range of shots and...

This'll give a decent percentage of Liverpool fans a stroke if it happens. http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N155862070507-1307.htm

There's something going on, they always seem to be missing loads of players for long stretches. Given Ramage Moore Bramble Babayaro Sibierski N’Zogbia Emre Duff Ameobi Owen All currently injured (plus Bernard). Not the worst side in the world, although it wouldn't be Newcastle if they weren't...

Allen Iverson has said he wants out, and Philadelphia are looking to move him quickly. I've not seen any likely destinations yet. I'm terrified Chicago will offer a few of the young lads for him. It'll be interesting to see if he ends up on a contender or slogging it out in somewhere like Portland.

I wonder if Abramovich has considered this option. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=393118&cc=5739

Anyone want to take a guess at who's most likely to stop these guys? The American 15 for the world championships, they have to pick a squad of 12 for the tournament: Gilbert Arenas, Washington Kirk Hinrich, Chicago Joe Johnson, Atlanta Chris Paul, New Orleans/Oklahoma City Dwyane Wade, Miami...

For the Bulls. Reportedly 60m over 4 seasons. 15 million per year for a guy who'll be 35 by the end of the contract. Obviously he's a producer right now, but in 2 or 3 years that looks like a cap killer. I'm also worried that the Bulls are apparently pursuing a Chandler/PJ Brown trade. That...
