Prince Ali elected FIFA Vice President
The Middle East is the new power block. Anyone want to bet that Mohammad Bin-Hammam will challenge Sepp Blatter for FIFA President?
The Russians won the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships by scoring an astonishing five goals in the third period after being down 3-0 to Canada. The final score was 5-3.

ReplyDeleteSuns Coach Alvin Gentry is the latest to rush to her support: http://www.swishappeal.com/2011/1/7/1920863/diana-taurasi-receives-support-from-phoenix-suns-coach-alvin-gentry
