Just read this story, and thought it deserved a mention, given all the bad press and scandal football has had recently. Great sportmanship from Boreham Wood. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/article/29220/

I guess time zones play a part, Africa's is pretty similar. I would love it if they covered the Copa America though, would be some cracking games, and talent on show.

Games are on Eurosport. I watched Oz the otherday, terrible game though. I think the increase in African players in the PL, lead to the increased coverage of the African Cup of Nations. Also the standard of football is better. IMO

Sad story, the guy obviously had a few issues going on, lets hope he recovers. Reminded me slightly of the Stephen Ireland incident, although he wasn't going through a breakdown, he was just a complete plonker. Unbelieveable how he first lied that his Grandmother had died, then said it was his paternal Grandmother, then saying one of his grandfathers had divorced, and it was his second wife who had died. Only to then come out with saying his girlfriend had a miscarriage, which was found to be a lie also. All just so he didn't have to play for Ireland, for what ever reason. A private chartered flight was even arranged for him to fly back to Ireland.
