Patrice Evra most certainly doesn't have a career in singing lined up for life after football.

Sport hurts, so go hard, or go home!

So the kicker is a young Liverpool player on loan, and the kickee suffered broken bones in his face and lost a few teeth. Nasty stuff.

Notice how much of those really brutal fouls and injuries have taken place in Belgium the last few years, and Standard Liege is always involved.

Gotta show the Bangladeshi cricket fan.

Wow, what the fuck. What was the guy thinking?

That ref's got skills

Patrice Evra most certainly doesn't have a career in singing lined up for life after football.

Whereas Alan Shearer most certainly does:

Because if Jamie Redknapp says "the stadium is literally bouncing" - it isn't completely out of the realm of possibility.

Aaron Ramsey's screamer today got my thinking of my favourite ever own goal.

Childish but still funny.

20st shot-putter does the 100 lard dash

A PODGY shot putter who failed his own event became an unlikely hero after attempting a 100m sprint at the World Athletics Championships.

Sogelau Tuvalu, 17, failed to qualify for shot put so decided to switch to running before the competition.

The man mountain strapped on his trainers for the Daegu heats in South Korea yesterday and lined up against athletes half his size.

And while others exploded off the starting line, spectators were stunned as the American Samoan — whose odds to win were 50,000-to-1 — lumbered on.

He was the only competitor not to have spikes on his shoes but incredibly still managed to beat his own personal best.

Unsurprisingly he came last after clocking 15.66 seconds, nearly five seconds behind winner Mohammad Noor Imran A Hadi of Malaysia.

After the event he grinned as he tried to catch his breath before admitting: "I did one month's training. Four hours a day.

"Of course I believed in myself.

"This is a dream come true."

He now holds the dubious honour of being the second slowest in the 28-year history of the championships but follows a fine tradition for his South Pacific island.

In 2001 Trevor Misipeka took to the track in Edmonton, weighing 21 stone, finishing last with a miserable 14.28 seconds.

And eight years later 22-year-old Savannah Sanitoa, also a shot putter, came last with a lowly 14.23 seconds.

Today Sogelau's exploits on Saturday were the talk of fans across the world, with a clip of his race notching up 70,000 viewers.

One of them, Steve Magman said: "This man proves that athletics is also many other things than just competing.

"It's also joy of sports and this man proves that also 'normal' persons can enjoy the fever of World Championships."

Those times aren't too bad for people that size mind you. I remember one of the older ones a while back. Good journalism though "Podgy" and the like.. top work.

[Starvinho]

I remember at school I used to run it in just over 13 seconds and I was skinny as hell back then, so 15.6 isn't bad at all for a man that size.

It just wouldn't be a sports video thread without it.

I can't find it on Youtube myself, but SSN have possibly the best penalty kick ever. Egyptian league - player runs up to hit it, gets stuck in the grass, faceplants into the ball, and gets booked.
