Ferdinand must sharpen up 00:39am on 11 Oct 2009 Can anyone confirm?

Red card carries two match ban.

FIFA have said that bans for accumulation of yellows will be waived for the World Cup, but bans for red cards will stand.

Therefore Green will be banned for England's World Cup opener?
Sports Personality shortlist announced 7:27pm on 02 Dec 2008 Do the same rules apply to the lifetime achievement award? If so, can we bend them. I'd love to see the BBC give that award to Señor Ballesteros this year.

A true Sportsman, and a true personality. Our thoughts are with him.

If he doesn't qualify for Lifetime Achievement, give him Overseas Personality, I'm sure Rafa and Padraig would understand.
London needs to work on air quality too 02:47am on 05 Aug 2008 Agree with comment #1. There are detailed facts available as to pollution levels, surely the journalist can include a few as reference points.
Beijing to witness next Ashes clash 01:18am on 29 Jul 2008 #40 archleftback

Cavendish is a very talented rider, but he's no Eddie Merckx.

Merckx won six stages on his first Tour (1969), together with the yellow jersey, green jersey , polka dot jersey, and team classification. If there had been a white jersey then, he would have won that as well.
Gearing up for Beijing 02:58am on 18 Jul 2008 Best of luck Chris, the way you have converted from the kilo has been remarkable.

Bring them home!
Why Man City must ditch Ronaldinho plan 08:35am on 16 Jul 2008 George Best played his last game for Man Utd at 27. Ronaldinho played his last game for Barcelona at 27. I don't think we'll see more than brief flickers of his former self.

I wonder if Ronaldinho will pass the medical? There were stories in the Spanish press a couple of months ago that his body is showing a lot of signs of wear and tear.
Scolari charms to take top billing 08:29am on 09 Jul 2008 Within two minutes of Solari being appointed, a quick search of the BBC web site came up with the article "Scolari rejects language concerns", accompanied by a BBC radio interview in English. It's from 2006 when he was asked about the England job.

Hence I, and many others, were not surprised by Scolari's English.
Zidane waltzes in as Italy bow out 01:48am on 23 Jun 2008 Totally agree about Marcos Senna. He's not likely to win many man of the match awards, or top the BBC player rater charts, but in his three games so far, he's been immense (as he has been for Villarreal for a few seasons). Foe me, Spain's best player of the tournament so far (and right up there with the best of any team).

Anticipation, tackling, passing, "good engine", and a powerful shot; he's got the lot.

Amazes me that none of the European superpowers has signed him long before now. He's still got 2-3 seasons in him.

"Unsung hero" is a cliché, but one that applies to Senna.
Which is the best Euro goal ever? 11:01pm on 02 Jun 2008 Marcelino's magnificent header for the winning goal for Spain angainst the USSR in the 1964 final, leaving Yev Lashin stranded on his line.

(If you ever get to see it!)
