Barcelona

Who knows? Maybe F.C Barcelona is cursed. After a long troublesome period, they couldn’t have asked more from today’s Osasuna game. They saw their vintage Leo Messi back on the field. They saw a happy, smiling Griezmann scoring goals and involving in the Barca play more confidently. They saw their army of young players again outperforming expectations. It was going to be the day every Barcelona fan was keenly waiting for until of course Clement Lenglet got injured. Barcelona started …

This has proven to be an elusive goal as rumored fights between Joshua and then WBC champion Deontay …

Well, that was some final day at Leopards Creek as the Alfred Dunhill Championship came to a wonderful crescendo, but who held their nerve to win. It was sure to be a tough day out there too, fast greens (and getting faster), winds getting up and tough pin positions meant this would be a real test for all the golfers out there too. Tee times were a lot earlier than the first three days too, and three balls as well, …

Why Tyson Jones Actually Matters

I’ve made no bones about this; I’m not going to watch this “exhibition” and I wouldn’t watch it if it were free. My small protest against a fight that I don’t think should take place, never mind have awarded the “Legends” belt, or whatever it’s being called, to the winner. (An aside here; if it is an “exhibition” as billed, how can there be a “winner” of this belt?) All of that having been said, I do understand the attraction …

Last week, Lars Sivertsen on the Guardian’s Football Weekly mentioned …
