| | Poll Update: England Outlook For World Cup Qualifiers And Beyond | | 2007-12-12 21:50:00 | | With Fabio Capello reportedly set to take over the England manager job vacated by Steve McClaren, now is as good a time as any to close two concurrent polls Soccer Source has been running for the past fortnight. The polls asked readers to predict where England will finish in their qualifying group for the 2010 World Cup and inquired if the Three Lions "will win a World Cup or European Championship in your lifetime?"I originally intended the mini survey to gauge England fans' moods after their team's historic collapse against Croatia. But it soon occurred to me that this method was flawed on several levels: there was no way to limit participation to England fans and the "your lifetime" bit was by definition subjective--and potentially self-fulfilling, if particularly distraught fans decided to take their lives into their own hands in the near future (a very real concern, judging by what was portrayed in the country's media.

| | Scotland Win their first Golf World Cup | | 2007-11-25 19:37:01 | | Scotland's Colin Montgomerie and Marc Warren will take the World Cup back to the home of golf for the first time after beating the United States on the third hole of a sudden death playoff on Sunday. A fourth par of the day at the 18th proved enough for the Scots to defeat overnight leaders Boo Weekley and Heath Slocum, pick up a cheque for $800,000 each and make amends for their own playoff defeat by Germany last year. "To come back after a playoff loss last year and win is superb, particularly as my playoff record is rubbish," Montgomerie told reporters after finally getting his hands on the John Hopkins trophy at the ninth attempt. The Americans had looked set for victory when the Scots twice found the sand on the first extra hole but Warren nailed a 12-foot putt for par and Slocum just missed a seven-foot birdie effort. Slocum had successfully drained a birdie putt just two feet shorter at the same green to force the playoff, giving the Americans a five-under 67 to match the S | | By: The Golf Blog | | |

Convincing win against Brazil 2-0 | | 2007-10-14 07:07:07 | | The German Women's Soccer Team proved that they are still the force to be reckoned with in the world of women's soccer! Goals from Birgit Prinz and and Simone Laudehr dealt the Brazilian the heart breaking loss as they seemed invincible in the run-up matches to this 2007 Women's Soccer World Cup finals. In fact, the Brazilian women had somewhat the upper hand on this match against Germany as they had longer possessions than their opponents and also had more free kicks. Goals however were the things that counted the most as Brazil failed to scored in their lengthy possessions while the German women were precise in their tactics. This competition is a 2008 Beijing Olympics Qualifier tournament.Player of the match Nadine Angerer took the limelight as she saved a penalty kick by Marta.

It was Norway who dealt them their exit pass by beating the Chinese 1-0. It was Isabell Herlovsen's lone 32nd-minute strike that sealed the win for Norway and the Chinese weren't able to score a single goal in this match.It was the Chinese who had control of most of the match though. They had 11 more shots compared to only 8 by the Norwegians. Player of the match Ane Stangeland Horpestad and the rest of the Norwegian soccer team ensured that China's "12th man" on the field did not play any part of the match. The hometown crows was silenced for the match especially during the possibility of the Chinese going down 2-0. The Chinese saved the goal though.The Norwegians will now face defending champions Germany in a semifinal knock-out match.FIFA Women's World Cup 2008 Olympics Olympics Soccer | | By: Beijing 2008 Olympics Blog | | |

| | | | Twenty20 World Cup, India vs England, Group E | | 2007-09-20 06:10:16 | | I am still in shock and disbelief after yesterday night, partly to do with sleeping for only 4 hours and more so due to that one over from Yuvraj Singh and the quickest fifty in an international. India came into this match with a do or die situation. Had they lost this match, they could [...] | | By: Cricket Blog | | |
| | FIFA Women's World Cup Quarterfinals Preview | | 2007-09-19 16:19:47 | | 4 matches will determine the quarterfinals & their placings in the ongoing FIFA women's soccer world cup in China. Here's some preview stories from the FIFA website:Norway just a step away - In their last game, Norway came within just seven minutes of booking their place in the quarter-finals. Had it not been for Lisa De Vanna's leveller in the 1-1 draw with Australia, this final Group C encounter would have been a mere formality for the Scandinavians. Instead, despite looking well placed to qualify, Bjarne Berntsen's girls must stay focused for another 90 minutes because their already-eliminated opponents Ghana will be out to leave China on a high.Australia hold upper hand - Section leaders Australia hold the upper hand going into their concluding Group C game against Canada, who rest one point shy of both them and Norway. But while a point would be good enough to send the exciting Matildas through to the last eight, Tom Sermanni will be urging his players to go out and secure top | | By: Beijing 2008 Olympics Blog | | |

| | | Twenty20 World Cup, Australia vs Pakistan, Group F | | 2007-09-19 05:31:44 | | Australia’s train was derailed yesterday by none other than Pakistan, perhaps the most unpredictable team in the history of cricket.

In the second match for the day, the Norwegians were cruising along with a one goal lead against the Matildas but late heroics of Striker Lisa De Vanna that evened up the score for both teams. It was a heart-breaker for the Norwegian women's soccer team as they were hoping to secure v spot at the quarterfinals with the possible win but Collette McCallum, Lisa De Vanna and Player of the match Heather Garriock all created a team effort to salvage a draw.Here the Australian Women's Soccer Team roster: Melissa BARBIERI, Kate MC SHEA, Alicia FERGUSON, Dianne ALAGICH, Cheryl SALISBURY, Rhian DAVIES, Heather GARRIOCK, Caitlin MUNOZ, Sarah WALSH, Joanne PETERS, Lisa DE VANNA, Kathryn GILL, Thea SLATYER, Collette MC CALLUM, Sally SHIPARD, Lauren COLTHORPE, Danielle SMALL, Lydia WILLIAMS, Clare POLKINGHORNE, Joanne BURGESS, Emma WIR | | By: Beijing 2008 Olympics Blog | | |

They have also been scouting other teams like the not-so-friendly neighbor's team, the North Korean Women's Football team, a highly touted group to win this year's World Cup of Soccer for Women.The Chinese open play Wednesday against Denmark in Wuhan, a central Chinese city of 8 million that sprawls along the Yangtze River.

| | Pinoy Boxing Team Captures Boxing World Cup!!! | | 2007-08-14 19:31:00 | | The Philippine boxing team won five of the six bouts at stake at the 'World Cup' of Boxing held at the Arco Arena. The grand boxing event was held in front of a highly-partisan crowd of 4,469 screaming fans for both countries.Pinoy boxing has solidified its position as the world's boxing superpower by snatching the title away from long-reigning Mexico. As you probably know, Mexico has been the breeding ground for great boxing talents for several decades.Gerry Penalosa contributed the biggest win when he wrested the WBO bantam title from Mexican champ Jhonny Gonzalez with a come-from-behind knockout win. He hit Gonzales with a paralyzing body shot in the seventh round. However, it was Z Gorres who sealed the Filipinos' victory. He stopped former WBC champ Eric Ortiz with an eighth-round technical knockout to earn the fourth win for the Philippine boxing team.Diosdado Gabi of Davao City was the first winner for Team philippines by earning an eight-round unanimous decision over Mexico's Jose Angel Beranza. Michael Domingo then followed it up with a six-round masterful unanimous win over previously unbeaten Miguel Roman. The Domingo-Roman bout was considered one of the most exciting fight of the night and really excited the crowd for the main event. Cebu's AJ 'Bazooka' Banal completed the five victories needed to secure the World Cup trophy by stopping Jorge Cardenas in the third round of their scheduled six-rounder. He dis[played great power and skill as he repeatedly hit his Mexican opponent with flushed shots culminating with an explosive counter that dropped Cardenas. Cardenas seems to have twisted his knee preventing him from standing up and continuing the fight. However, the Pinoy boxing team did not sweet all six matches as Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista experienced a very painful first round KO defeat at the hands of Daniel Ponce de Leon. Bautista has expressed a desire to retire after this defeat so we have to wait and see if he decides to return to the ring. I hope he decides to continue his career as he is still young and this setback can make him a better fighter. | | By: Pinoy Boxing | | |
