I thought the small town Czech tennis player, Tomas Berdych, would win the 2010 Wimbledon Championship. He sure looks like he has a great future!

“To think that Suarez, when he committed the handball, knew what was going to happen afterward would be something superhuman,†the coach said. “The hand of Suarez is the hand of God and the Virgin Mary—that’s how Uruguayans see it.â€
FIFA will study reports from the Uruguay-Ghana World Cup quarterfinal before deciding how long to suspend Suarez for his handball that denied the Africans victory.

“I’ll tell them to do everything,†said the former World Cup winner.
“They have to leave their lives on the pitch.
“Behind them is a whole country who haven’t enjoyed a victory for a long time.
“They are so excited at the moment. Argentina depend on this team to be able to get up in the morning with a smile on their faces.â€
Can Gonzalo Higuain, Carlos Tevez, Â Diego Milito and the brightest star of all, Lionel Messi, (who has shrugged off a virus to play) defeat the very strong German team?
Should be a GREAT Match!
Elin Nordegren will be a very wealthy lady!
Maybe not as a wealthy as the world first thought.
Many thought the very sexy Swedish model and wife of Tiger Woods would get up to a $750m divorce settlement from her cheating husband Tiger Woods, it is now believed Elin will end up with around $100 million.
Dumb Tiger Woods!

Spain has a quarter-final date with Paraguay by beating Portugal 1-0 in Cape Town. A 63rd-minute David Villa goal proving the difference between the two sides.
David Villa, Â maybe the best player in the world???
In 2010 he moved to Barcelona for €40 million. Worth it now!
David Villa’s odds to be World Cup 2010 Top Goalscorer are listed at 3.0 while Gonzalo Higuain is priced at 3.5. Brazil’s Luis Fabiano is priced at 5.5 and then the odds take a big jump to 12.0 for Uruguay’s Luis Suarez. Germany’s Thomas Muller can be backed at 17.0 while Asamoah Gyan and Carlos Tevez can be backed at 21.0.
Germany’s Miroslav Klose and Uruguay’s Diego Forlan share a 23.0 price. Lionel Messi and Lukas Podolski are both at 34.0 and Robin Van Persie is sitting at 41.0. You’re looking at 81.0 for Fernando Torres or Robinho while Arjen Robbem, Dirk Kuyt, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Wesley Sneijder and Mesut Ozil are all priced at 101.0. Cacau trades at 151.0.
Higuain and Villa have scored four goals apiece while Robert Vittek of Slovakia also notched four goals. If both Higuain and Villa go scoreless in the next potential three games then a bet on Vittek would make sense I guess (he is listed at 21.0).

WIMBLEDON, England — Isner did not have a single ace. Quite incredible after having 112 during his marathon Match against Nicolas Mahut.
The Wimbledon marathon man looked weary from the outset Friday, required treatment for a neck injury and was beaten by unseeded Thiemo de Bakker 6-0, 6-3, 6-2.
Isner received a standing ovation when he walked onto court. He immediately lost his serve — something that didn’t happen once in his 70-68 fifth set against Mahut.
Isner also pulled out of the doubles match after his loss.
Most Impressive was Mahut’s class act after losing the longest match in Tennis History. What stood out, was that he served from behind 69 times!!!
Officials asked him to stay on the court for special awards and publicity for Wimbledon. Mahut was obviously very upset but he acted with grace and dignity. His actions and performance will be remembered for many years to come.

In what some say was a terrible game, England defeated Slovenia  1 – 0 to advance to the next round. I can imagine that many English Fans don’t care if it was a terrible game. All that matters is that England is not eliminated.
US Victory: Donovan was left open on the right and he cuts to the left fooling the keeper, to score the game’s only goal. Algeria eliminated!
The US win might generate some more excitement in the Unites States. I hope!!!
The US moves on in style.
