Portugal fans and neutrals hoping for a splash edition of the Cristiano Ronaldo roadshow had their appetite satisfied as he single-handedly steered his country into the Euro 2012 semi-finals by beating the Czech Republic 1-0.

Woodson, though, isn’t holding a grudge against the Raiders. He has agreed to flip the coin that will determine whether Oakland or San Francisco will select with the ninth or 10th overall pick in April’s draft. The gathering to break the tie, which came about because of equal 2017 records (6-10) and opponent winning percentages (.512), will be held Friday morning at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

PLAYERS Conventional Wisdom Los Angeles (-) L.A. Lawless. Scary cops, insular whites. So bad, it made New York look good. D. Gates (-) With slow response to crisis, smug police chief fails at his own SWAT-team game. Prosecutors (-) My cousin Vinny coulda won with that videotape. Why didn’t Rodney testify? R. King (+) Plea for peace the week’s classiest act. And sure sounded like a beating victim. G.Bush (+/-) Speech 24 hours late, and from the wrong coast....

Jiri Novak was 24 years old, ranked 59th in the world, and had won one singles match on three previous visits to Wimbledon. No wonder the Czech considered it a gift to be paired with a 17-year-old debutant in the first round of the 1999 Championships. After all, who was this Roger Federer kid? The reigning Wimbledon boys’ champion, certainly, but nobody considers that a reliable marker of future greatness....
But there is a certain Swede who knows what exactly it took to help Roger Federer reach the top. That man is none other than the 55-year-old Peter Lundgren, a former player who coached the Swiss maestro from 2000 to 2003. It is the timing of their collaboration that makes their partnership so significant. Long touted to be a future World No. 1, the young and temperamental Federer had trouble living up to those lofty expectations early on....
The first set went Federer’s way without much trouble. It looked as though it was all too easy, and the crowd wouldn’t have a contest to witness. Federer served Monfils a bagel, and the resistance from Monfils was feeble at best. That said, Federer played an exquisite brand of tennis, hitting the ball so cleanly that the surface seemed to have very little effect on his shot making. In stark contrast, Monfils was struggling to time the ball....
It’s the clash of two former champions in Toronto and with their third meeting the 2017 champion hoped to change the tide of success.

The two have put together long rallies in the past and would challenge one another on their service games to find control....
UpIsNotJump’s greatest triumph may be his most recent trailer remake. Between the sci-fi subterfuge, battles involving giant robots, and mixture of old world weaponry with high tech blasters, Rogue One seems like the perfect fit for the Fallout 4 universe, and UpIsNotJump seems to agree. Check out the video below to see just how incredible the Rogue One/Fallout 4 mash-up trailer really is. [HTML1] UpIsNotJump’s trailer goes shot for shot with the original Rogue One video, and it’s hard not to be impressed by how accurate the Fallout 4 remake is....

Fletcher should stay until the World Cup Ravi Shastri’s temporary appointment as Director of Cricket after India’s 3-1 drubbing in the Test series at the hands of England had raised questions about Duncan Fletcher’s position as head coach, but Laxman has provided support to Fletcher by saying that the Zimbabwean should continue “without a doubt” until the World Cup.

Salzburg produced a rousing second-half performance to wipe out a 2-0 first-leg deficit, but Marseille became the first French side to reach a European final since 2004 despite a 2-1 defeat on the night. Amadou Haidara gave the dominant hosts hope early in the second half with an excellent individual effort before Bouna Sarr’s own goal levelled the semi-final. Rudi Garcia’s visitors survived some late scares to force a further half-hour and substitute Rolando volleyed home a 116th-minute Dimitri Payet corner that shouldn’t have been given....
