Sport

A room for sports such as football (soccer), motor racing, athletics, tennis, rugby, rowing, cycling, snooker, squash and tournaments like the Olympics.

The idea is to compliment the Sports Talk 2.0 group, which mainly covers US/American sports. This group is to cover the rest. :-)

U.S. a Winner and Brazil a Loser in World Cup Draw
Americans drew a top seed in England, the 1966 World Cup champion, but avoided a second European power and a top African team, instead being placed in a group that includes Slovenia and Algeria - chaz2b from Bookmarklet
Brazil, a five-time World Cup champion, was drawn into the so-called Group of Death with the Ivory Coast, which is led by perhaps the world’s top striker, Didier Drogba, and is considered to be the first African contender; and Portugal, which finished fourth at the 2006 World Cup and features another great forward in Cristiano Ronaldo. - chaz2b

The 10 Most Horrific Sports Injuries Ever | The Last Angry Fan - http://lastangryfan.com/2009...
The 10 Most Horrific Sports Injuries Ever | The Last Angry Fan
"Remember seeing Redskins QB Joe Theismann’s leg get destroyed on Monday Night Football? Watching Giants legend Lawrence Taylor giving Theismann an extra leg joint was kind of like watching a Bea Arthur sex tape–highly disturbing, strangely compelling, and thankfully, that wasn’t us in either scene. But most sports injuries are of the garden-variety type (think ankle sprains and groin pulls), but every once-in-a-while an athlete sustains a truly grotesque, stomach churning, pants shitting injury that, unlike a Golden Girl sex-a-thon, gets replayed on Sportscenter again…and again…and again. Here are ten of the most horrifying sports injuries of all-time, all rated with your handy Theismann-O-Meter." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet
Number one on that list is absolutely horrific. - Steven Perez
Oh Jesus. - SAM

“Suck My Balls, Death.” - Joe Silence is not dead

i feel a little sick from this list. at first i thought, "where's dave dravecky?" but as gross as his arm was, it wasn't gross enough for this list. - Kendra <3 Three Lions
I remember watching that Raiders game with Napoleon McCallum's injury. They only replayed that twist a few dozen times in the first ten minutes after his leg decided to part ways with the rest of his body. - Steven Perez
1UP Kendra. - Derrick
Yeah, I was kinda wondering why Robin Ventura's ankle blowout (1997 spring training) didn't make the list. That was fairly horrific, too. - Steven Perez
I can't believe I watched those videos. Even more, I can't believe I watched the ones I'd already seen before *again*. -_- - Penguin It's Cold Outside
INORITE? - Steven Perez
carotid artery slashing is not good. - Joe Silence is not dead
Neither is separating your spine from your pelvis. Thank God they didn't find photos of that. - Steven Perez from IM
