This kid has clearly not seen a day without playing football. How else could he be this good at such a young age? We’ve seen all the pros do some fancy flicks on the sidelines, like Mesut Ozil’s chewing gum trick, but we’ve never been given a performance quite like this one.
Rather than tell you which sides we think are going to win or lose, we thought we would take a slightly different approach this week. A preview, of sorts. A discussion. Maybe a debate?
With the hype of the Currie Cup now all over it is time for us to focus on some international rugby, English Premier League football and the very important 1st leg of the CAF Cup final. As always, there are various multiples on offer with odds ranging from 20 – 1 to 250 – 1. We have decided to take somewhat of the middle ground here and have gone with a very interesting option which is offering 50 – 1 on your money, here it is.
When it comes to breaking records, some choose the safer route: opting to put straws in their mouths. Some, on the other hand, enjoy being towed into 30-metre waves by a jetski. This was the gambit of one Carlos Burle, in an attempt to break the world record for biggest wave ever surfed, held by Garret McNamara, who successfully carved a 23-metre behemoth just two years ago.
Former first-class South African cricketer, Darryn Randall, has died after he was struck on the head by a cricket ball. Randall, 32, was hit on the side of the head before he collapsed. He was batting at the time – but it is hasn’t been made clear whether or not he was wearing a helmet.
Last weekend we went big. Maybe silly big but we were having some fun and took a chance on some long odds. Needless to say the bet didn’t come off and so this week are making up for it with a far more measured multiple which is offering 15 – 1 odds and includes matches from the following:
If you recall, we did a story on the biggest mountain-bike backflip in history just a few days ago. That was pretty special, but we can’t recall seeing anything quite as visceral as this before.
A pleasant afternoon of provincial cricket in Australia was brought to life when one of the player’s girlfriends got involved in the action, so to speak. Not having much to talk about in terms of cricket, the commentators turned to one of the players ladyfriends, Yvonne. “Hey Yvonne give us a wave!” At this point, Yvonne made naughty hand gestures.
You can all go home now, an unemployed Japanese man has demonstrated – via the robot that he casually built in his basement – that you are not actually pursuing the best possible outcome to your life. Presenting: Robot Number 17 performing on the Horizontal Bar.
No doubt you’re well aware that South Africa is in search of redemption after being on the receiving end of a drubbing in the first test against Pakistan. In that spirit, the proteas have started the second test strongly, getting Pakistan all out for 99 runs. And get this, Imran Tahir picked up five wickets for 32 runs. Mental. Get up to speed with the highlights, here.
There are a fair few of us who had not lived to see Manchester United managed by anyone other than Sir Alex Ferguson until the beginning of this season. The man is a legend – and like any legend, his post-retirement book is set to be cracker full of insider gossip. The man has got 26 years of pent-up issues, and he’s letting them all slide in his new hardcover. Here are some of the things we learned from his book.
Just imagine a situation where he comes home to his stunning lady, drops his boots on the floor and says,”Honey, I want to make underwear for boys.” Really? Anyway, regardless of his motivations for starting the line, the real beauty here is the tweet he sent out last night about a competition for his new CR7 boys underwear.
What you’re seeing on front of you went down on 19 October. The Ohio State University Marching Band is performing a musical tribute to Michael Jackson at the half time break of a football game. They sample hits including, but not limited to ‘Bad,’ ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin” and ‘Billie Jean.’ And then, oh then. Well then, they pull off a massive group moonwalk.
Every year at around this time, all the major action-sports brands head over to Utah for the Red Bull Rampage, an event that has been going on for years, hosting the worlds greatest x-athletes. Oakley sets up a ridiculously massive ramp called the “Oakley Sender”, and the worlds best bikers do some insane stunts on camera.
A while ago, Cape Town had the prestige of winning the competition to be the World Design Capital for 2014. And since then, residents have been racking their brains to try and figure out what exactly that means. Will we be building an entirely new city? Will some art kids pop up and wrap Cape Town’s trees in some sort of colourful material? The jury was well and truly out. Until now.
Some strange requests have appeared from people asking Jonty Rhodes to unfriend them on Facebook. One person even stated they were glad their grandmother wasn’t alive, as Jonty was her hero. Anyone know what’s going on?
We not here for a haircut. This weekend we going big. 500 – 1 big! The weekend’s sports multiple includes Currie Cup semi-finals and English Premier League matches. As always there are a range of multiples available ranging from 5 -1 to 500 – 1 but we have chosen to highlight the big one. The “upsets.” We having fun here and at 500 – 1 if it does come off we are ALL laughing.
Remember Harry Wilson? Well his granddad was either a soothsayer, a genius, or a lucky old fool. Grandpa placed a £50 bet on Harry to play for the Welsh football team, when Harry was only 18 months old. Harry’s debut just nabbed his Granddad £125,000 (R1,970,000).
What do Ryan Giggs, Gareth Bale, and Harry Wilson have in common? They’re all football genuises, they’re all from Wales, and none of them have ever played for England. Although, that might change very shortly.
Has it been a year already? Geez. I’m sure we all remember trying to get our Wifi connections pitch-perfect to watch the most momentous skydive in history – only to be told a few minutes later that the jump was cancelled. But eventually, the magnanimous Felix Baumgartner did take the jump
In yet another magnificent example of art immitating life, what we have here is Australian cricketer, Brad Haddin copping a finger to the eye following a poorly-executed high five by a team mate. The scenario is a direct play-acting of a scene from cult classic radio comedy programme, The 12th Man, which was written and performed by comedian Billy Birmingham.
Curly-haired golf star, Rory McIlroy has dumped his blonde tennis-star girlfriend, Caroline Wozniacki. It’s fair to say that she is in a different league to him, but at the same time, he does have the means to aim high..
Pride is a big deal for world championship boxers – especially those who have been retired for 10 years. Undisputed heavyweight champs need big bucks to mess with their legacy. Check this out.. Check this out from ESPN: Lennox Lewis is weighing up a comeback fight against one of the Klitschko brothers for a staggering […]
Welcome to Friday. Here’s a guy jumping off the top of a mountain, flying down the slopes with a wing suit, and gliding on to the service of a lake for his landing. The jump took place at Lake Garda in Italy on September 30th 2013. Raphael Dumont, the guy who nailed it, has over 600 flights under his belt.
Yes, okay last weekend we slipped up a little. We admit. Time for redemption then. It is pretty simple this weekend – 3 Currie Cup games and 2 Momentum One-Day Cup matches. Easy. Well… On the rugby side of things there are some very interesting match ups. Given that this is the last weekend before […]
In 2009, film maker Alex Gibney set out to make a film documenting Lance Armstrong’s comeback year in cycling. For the whole year, Armstrong lied to Gibney’s face. In ‘The Armstrong Lie’, Lance finally sets the record straight. “A cancer survivor overcoming the disease comes back and wins. Yeah, they liked that.”
Golf hasn’t seen its fair share of streakers, but this Sunday at the Presidents Cup, the 18th fairway may have become home to one of the most famous streakers in history.
Red Bull, being the excellent sports media company that they are have produced a 21,000-photo Instagram stop motion film of cliff diving in Wales. As one does.
Because North Korea’s supreme leader, Kim Jung Un, thinks what his country really needs right now is not more food or electricity, but a multimillion dollar ski-resort, construction has begun on the Masik Pass ski resort.
It was a distressing weekend for motorsport, with 8 people dying as a monster truck went out of control in Mexico, and this – a horrific crash in Houston, USA – during an IndyCar series grand prix.
