Yeah. I can understand if Federer loses the warm-up tournaments so he can conserve his strength for the Slams, but nearly getting booted out of Wimbledon this early? The guy's supposed to be in his prime.

AAAARGH, so fucking close!

Bah! The sports channels on my end are all showing the World Cup. Didn't even realize Federer was in danger of being ousted!

Too complacent, Ghana.

BBCSport That would mean South Africa get booted out too, wouldn't it?

That's what I thought too when I saw the slowmo replay.

For what it's worth, the Germans probably thought they would win today, and look what happened.

Gametime! Allahuuuuu Akbarrrrr!

Ron Artest, more than any pro athlete today, should guest host Monday Night Raw.

A draw's better than nothing.

That was bullshit!

Now don't fuck it up, Yankees. EDIT: Oh for fuck's sakes!

YEAAAAAAAAH!

The Yanks yet still breathe! Onward into the breach!

Slovenia came to play. C'mon, Yanks. You can do better than that!

- What roster changes would - or should - the Lakers make to repeat as Champs? The only change they did was Artest for Ariza. - If this "free agent summit" does result in three or more of these big names winding up on the same team, would the NBA have to implement rules to keep the players from "manipulating" the market in such a manner?

And the Kobe Bryant Revenge Tour is complete.

Ugh, so far the teams I wanted to see win today have failed to deliver. Mexico, don't fail me now!

Greece

THIS IS SPART oh wait.

I'm torn on who I'd want to win it all. I have little doubt this is Boston's last chance at a championship with Garnett, Allen and Pierce, and I'd like to see these guys get another championship. On the other hand, the thought of Ron Artest winning a ring pleases me.

Puñeta España!

Wonder if the Lakers can hold the Celtics to below 70 points. LA still has that free taco/sandwich deal if they keep their opponents below 100, don't they?

Looks like the Lakers got on the same page though. They're blowing the Celtics outta the water. LA up by 25 at the end of the third? Yikes.

I've got a mate who keeps doubting Nadal would have a long career, given the condition of his knees. But I don't quite see that happening anytime soon. If Federer doesn't reach the final, I'd want Murray to win it. As for Federer...I want him to win Wimbledon again, and was hoping he'd win the French to keep on track for a second Grand Slam. But I think it's safe to say his competitors are increasingly overcoming that aura of invincibility he has.
