    I've never been so confident of Arsenal winning the league as I was when I got the news about that signing. Still remember where I was --- at the beach in the Outer Banks.

    Football is a form of high camp drama where grown men carry on as if a man changing jobs is a betrayal on the level of their wife secretly sleeping with their bros

    Plus, she’s one year younger. Both of them stay in great shape for their age, though.

    The biggest difference, to me, is that Marta doesn't have that overwhelming ego that CR7 has.

    I don't know what kind of ego Marta has, but I grant you that matching Cristiano's ego would be very tough indeed.

    What a great volleyball semi-final ! France will try to retain their Olympic title against an excellent Polish team.

    @feyenoordsoccerfan tough for Bol. Looked like she tried to keep pace with SML and it took her out of her race/normal strategy.

    I would not call it excellent since It was a one way match. I was at Poland -Italy last saturday when they trounced the Polish and I was shocked to see them folding like a cheap suit vs France. Team France was on top of its game but Italy really stank the place.

    So there will be a remake of the basketball final of the last Olympics.

    Let's be honest: Team USA has a 90% chance of winning, but it will be fun nevertheless.
