All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others especially if you are Real Madrid and you would like to have your influential Malian midfielder play in a La Liga determining match as opposed to playing for Mali in an African Cup of Nations qualifier. FIFA is always trumpeting on about how countries take precedence over clubs, but in a complete volte-face, FIFA instructed the Malian federation to release Mahamdou Diarra and Frederic Kanoute (who plays for Sevilla). JS Kyblie, an Algerian team, that wanted their international players released to play in a cup final had their request turned down. BTW, Mali beat Sierra Leone 6-0 to top their group.

David Beckham finally got his hands on a La Liga medal after Real Madrid beat Real Mallorca 3-1 yesterday.

Well, I predicted awhile back that Lewis Hamilton would win the Formula 1 Driver's Championship in his inaugural season and he's going about it in the right way after following up his Canadian Grand Prix win with one at the US Grand Prix.

Tiger Woods maintains his consistency of not having won a major coming from behind.

The "first watch" disappeared from the "first hand" of the "first man" aka the Bushman during a meet and greet in Albania. If Secret Service detail, can't keep a watch thief at bay, well....
