Arsene Wenger must view friendies as more than necessary evil. - (USA)
Anyone who was in the St Albans area this lunchtime may have felt a major tremor when Arsene Wenger was asked at his weekly press conference for reaction to Theo Walcott’s dislocated shoulder. The Arsenal just about managed to avoid going off the Richter Scale. Wenger has long been an outspoken critic of friendly internationals, particularly those held at the end of the year when there is a three-month gap to the next group of competitive fixtures, with Walcott’s injury likely to further

International sports, Rugby Union Internationals: the South Rules! - (USA)
(GenevaLunch) - England were handed a lesson in discipline by Australia as they conceded penalties and were short on ideas despite controlling possession for much of the match. The English kicking was also weak. Australia won 14-28. Scotland were beaten 10-14 by the Springboks despite holding a 10-0 lead at half time. With better goal kicking Scotland might have pulled off a rare victory. The New Zealand All-Blacks beat Ireland 3-22 but it was a pity that the most influential man on the field

Tale of two Brad’s: Friedel and Guzan work together at Aston Villa - (USA)
Whilst many an English football spectator are scratching their heads as to the constant blunderings of their native first choice goalkeepers, it seems that the Premiership continues to attract an American goalkeeping revolution. Aston Villa is one team that has both youth and solid experience in their goalkeeper stable, and both of their goalkeepers hail from the USA. Both Brad Friedel, an 8 year veteran in the Premier League with Blackburn and Brad Guzan, an MLS goalkeeper of the year (2007

Secure Your Rugby League Memories ” Buy Your Memorabilia Now”! - (USA)
by Hunter John, Jensen Hunter Rugby League is one of the most physical contact sports of all ball games. Its one of the most demanding sports of all and rugby players have to have great physical strength as well speed and maneuverability in order to be able to compete at the highest level. The players need their strength to make bone jarring tackles and to get deeply involved in the scrums and to get down and dirty in the ruck and maul.

The Key Secrets of Good Coaching & Leadership : Winning can be Taught & Learned : Personnel : Recrui - (USA)
Coaching and good leadership go hand in hand, whether in sports, law or business. Winning can be taught AND learned. You just have to know what you are doing. The LawPundit discovered by chance some years ago that he had a natural talent for coaching as he co-coached an amateur European youth football (soccer) team in Germany. The result was an undefeated team and recognition in the German soccer magazine Kicker. In our first regular season game, we faced the league champion of the previous ye

Daily Travel Photo - Melbourne, Australia - (USA)
One of the biggest ways in which Australia and North America differ is in the sports they play. Australians are a sports hungry people, but what they play will leave most Americans with a blank stare. Over time I’ve come to understand the basics for rugby (Union and League), AFL (Aussie rules football) and cricket. My knowledge goes far enough to know what is going on during a game, but not so much as to get into a real discussion with anyone on the subject. FUN FACT: Did you know that
