Slovakia Begins With the All Whites
Slovakia’s first ever World Cup match comes against one of the lowest-ranked teams at the tournament, New Zealand’s All Whites. The schedule has certainly been kind to the Slovaks, as Italy and Paraguay drew 1-1 leaving Hamsik and friends the chance to take top spot in their group for a few days.

Jose Mourinho Does "Who? Me?" Better Than Anyone
During this evening's Copa del Rey final, won by Atletico Madrid in extra time at the Bernabeu (big win, that one), Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo were both sent off. The latter was unjustified, though Cristiano probably could've been sent off for kicking Juanfran off the ball earlier, and there's ...
Heineken Offers Up An Impossible Task
