On the outside looking in, Day 31: Daniel Jarque, Antonio Puerta and the champions of the world.

Evening everyone, a recap of the World Cup final for you to digest.

2050: Still The Year Of Ozil
Whether or not Nike was planning to continue their Özil series past the World Cup, they may not have a choice now. Arguably one of the hottest commodities to burst onto the global scene in South Africa, his stock is enormously high and as such, there's money to be made. There ...
Daily Dose: July 29th, 2010.

Mixed Start for MLS Teams in CONCACAF Champions League

Serie A 2010/11 Schedule Released
The trumpeted announcement of the Serie A calendar is quite the event, with more subplots than a Aurelio De Laurentiis movie and the draw actually made by monkeys riding tricycles dressed in Armani, vaguely resembling a Lyon kit release in the end. They also announce the weeks by having a blind ...
