… I see that Togo have been banned from the next two AFCON cups in 2012 and 2014 because they elected to pull out of the 2010 event.
That’s a bit harsh considering they had just been mown down by AK47 wielding terrorists who happened to kill two of their delegations when their bus was ambushed [...]

Graham Onions is probably the most hated man in South African cricket right now as he once again frustrated the home team and made sure that England for the second time in three test matches hung on for an improbable draw.
There have been some incredibly exciting moments in this test series and to have had [...]

One of my mates has just SMS’d me after watching the highlights of the Australian cricket game this morning.
The SMS reads:
“Why is that everytime the Australians win a cricket match, their commentators describe it as ‘the greatest win ever’?!”
BWAAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAH its so true….
