Djokovic - Sharapova  

   Unbelievable Jokovic

Novak Djokovic made an impromptu friend during a rain delay at the French Open on Monday. Up 6-1, 5-2 over Joao Sousa first-round match, Djokovic invited the ball boy holding an umbrella to come and sit with him.

Then he traded his racket for the umbrella, leaving the ball boy looking extremely nervous that he was now holding the world's second best tennis player's racket. Then Novak offered said nervous ball boy a Perrier, probably at no cost to Novak since they're a French Open sponsor, but he gets all kinds of fan points for the gesture.

Some moments & goals of World Cup that I will never forget are

NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Steve Swanson and the European Space Authority (ESA) Alexander Gerst forming the current crew of the International Space Station were able to watch a live match of the World Cup

The Yankees fans set up an impromptum beach party in Hermosa Beach in California and attend there the matches of their national team. The winning goal for the Stars and Stripes against Ghana came literally at the last minute and the fans erupted in celebration

In Berlin...

hundreds of fans of FC Union Berlin  have turned Alte Foersterei stadium in a kind of outdoor lounge-cinema! They have transported pitch sofas and tables and watch the World Cup matches through the matrix ... in the comfort of their home!

At one end of the Berlin football fans gathered in the stadium of FC Union. In another, the municipality erected the "mile of the fans", the 'fan mile'. They have placed a gigantic screen in the middle of a park from where one can watch the World Cup matches even though standing hundreds of meters away from the screen

football everywhere

in Space   

or on the beach

even after praying

the native Indians in America have an old method of predicting the future by smelling their fingers... it seems that the German Coach is a believer of this method and actually he has enriched it too by eating his boogers and sniffing his armpits!

Fantastic football from Netherlands yesterday, they have teared apart Spain with 5-1 and a fantastic all time header from Van Persie

Novak Jokovic is celebrating the winning goal of Greece against Ivory Coast in the very last minute of the match

Grecia ole ole! make them forget Pele, in the country of the coffee everybody drinks frappe!

Love can do miracles

What is the reason that George Samaras is so cool and determined before the penalty kick that sent greece to the next round?

What was he thinking of?  he was thinking of his friend Jay Beatty in Scotland with down syndrome who was watching the match dressed in blue this time and all this love empowered him

here is Jay Beatty watching the match

It is a friendship that goes back long ago since Samaras met Jay in ireland. They becomed friends since young Jay was a Celtic fan and they were celebrating together

There was a classy, heartwarming moment at Celtic Park on Sunday. 

"I first met Jay in Ireland," Samaras told the Daily Record. "He is a very special little boy, a massive Celtic fan and a huge inspiration. The whole team were very proud to have him with us today."
