When I’m in my twilight years I imagine I’ll be pottering around my garden, enjoying television game shows, and going to bed early. But after watching Australia’s Dorothy De Low at the World Veterans Table Tennis Championships, I think perhaps I should aim higher.

The 2010 World Cup has officially kicked off, with the opening ceremony and first match between the hosts South Africa, and Mexico.

The 2010 World Cup kicked off yesterday, and there has already been some big games. But the biggest so far is kicking off in a few short hours, with the U.S.A. taking on England.

In life we learn that it ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings. And in a basketball game, it’s not over until the time runs out.

The Croatian team in this video learns it the hard way when they celebrate a tad too early. They believe a basket 0.6 seconds from the end of the game should clinch the victory, and they’re not afraid to show it.

When Melbourne Storm moved into AFL heartland and won three minor premierships and two grand finals it seemed like a win for rugby league. Little did we know, the Victorian team cheated to get there.

They say human beings can’t fly, but looking at this video clip I’d tend to disagree. It claims to contain the ten biggest and best jumps in history, and I’m not about to argue.

Chelsea are still on course for a first Double. An often soporific FA Cup semi-final ended with Carlo Ancelotti’s team setting up a date with Spurs or Portsmouth, who clash here tomorrow, in May’s showpiece. By then this team will hope to have bagged the Premier League title, and be halfway to immortality in their west London manor.
