11:13 AM ET 06.09 | Robin van Persie's father has seemingly put the handbrake on a potential move to Manchester City for the Arsenal forward, seeing it as 'not an option'. The Dutch striker is currently on international duty with Netherlands, but is in the last year of his contract at the Emirates Stadium. As such the 2011-12 PFA Player of the Year has been linked with an exit from the north London club, with the likes of City and Juventus thought to be ready to make a move for him. Despite Roberto Mancini's men lifting the Premier League title last term and a number of players making the move from Arsene Wenger's side to the Etihad Stadium in the past, Bob van Persie has ruled the possibility out for his son.

Do you guys realize that, if the Heat wins the NBA finals, Juwan Howard would have won his title?

Ooops. Seems the joke is only obvious to a Miami Heat fan.
Years and years ago, Pat Riley tried to sign Howard, then a restricted free agent, to a huge, seven-year contract, only to have Howard's team (the Bullets, if memory serves me), match the offer.
Now, after Howard can barely find his ass in less than two seconds, let alone play NBA basketball, Riley signed him to a veteran-minimum contract, for some unfathomable reason. I just find it ridiculous that Howard could get a championship ring that way.

Spain is coming with a strikerless formation, probably with Fabregas as a false nine, Italy comes in with three at the back....
Both coaches opted to spring a tactical surprise. Sweet mother of Messi.

I have a hard time listening to Ballack. He needs to be more proficient in his English before he gets on TV.
