Sport Spotting: Well Tiger your Actually Human, The World Cup Debacle and 'lights of the week


Tiger Woods and (insert funny pun about getting clubs out)

Tiger Woods, the man, the legend and probably one day soon he will be cemented as the greatest Major Player the game has ever seen, but as usual with every human being he has seen his private life become public and the quiet man of Golf is not particularly that shy after all.

I could revel in it like others, dish the dirt on who he decided to 'fuck', but I think Woods private life should now remain private. I feel as many will for his faithful wife and hope that the Woods can maybe fix the ultimate betrayal. However lets not forget in all this that Mr Woods as a Golfer has inspired many to the Sport and breathed new breath into a game, that at the time was like many others struggling to appeal to the younger generation. He made Golf exciting and for that he should retain his credit, after all like many other sports stars before him the sins of the flesh have tempted a legend to become a failure overnight.

'Eurovision meets The World Cup'

Wasn't it Criminal? Jonathan Pearce (Poor bloke) seemed lost in what seemed to be surreal, some bloke from FIFA seemingly flirting with the most clueless blonde to host an event since Sam Fox. The draw which could have been exciting was so drawn out that I fell asleep between Pots B and D, and couldn't a computer have decided what the first game would be? South Africa vs Mexico is a little shite to kick off the one of the World's Greatest Events. Also why do the Beeb needed Shearer, Motson (Who was drawn in for facts, which A) Pearce had told us and B) weren't that interesting) and Lawerson for a draw of some names is slightly a bit on the wasteful side.

Anyhow Group G just looks like a thriller and England should see themselves through their group, the first game with the US should be a cracker. Here is to the Summer....

'My Highlight of The Week'

This week's derby win was a delight, but Blackburn's sensational victory on penalties made you realise cup football is still the great high that football can reach, and with the draw it looks like we have two crackers to look forward to (Remember BBC will have the final this year, all domestic cup finals should be on Free to Watch TV).

'My Low light of The Week'

Another desperate and rather disappointing display by Liverpool Football Club, and of course money will not be available in January to bring in one or two players, which will mean Liverpool continue to suffer from both bad injuries and bad management both from above (and at the moment I'm sad to say) and on the field.

I say this because of the continuous non use of Mr Alberto Aquilani, I understand the need for Beneitz to make sure he is ready but now we see Stuart Downing return and you wonder why Downing is fine and Aquilani isn't.

I did suspect that the man would actually finally start under a new manager at Liverpool and not Beneitz, however it is now hinted that Wednesday may see his first start. It will be interesting to say the least if Aquilani does start to chip in with the deadly passing on Wednesday, that Liverpool seriously lack right now, then will he be a sure in for Arsenal? and will the champions league end be a blessing in disguise for Beneitz? We'll find out soon, but for now it's just not working.

Sport of the Week:-

Cricket:- The sunny climbs of Melbourne have brightened up several very dull evenings in Cornwall.
One To Watch:-

The Snooker (all week on BBC & Eurosport)
&
Champions League (Though all the British teams are either in or out, many of the leading lights of Europe will have to fight to stay in, could Ruben Kazan knock out Inter Milan? or will Bayern Munich also fall where Liverpool did?
