Top 10 Goals of the Week

Where has 2010 gone?

All of a sudden we find ourselves putting together our final top 10 goals of the week in this calendar year, and despite the slim-lined fixture list over the past seven days again a collection of scorchers were scored over the past seven days.

We begin with a Barcelona-inspired move from Everton at spot one, followed by a 30-yard top corner howitzer from Israel which we suspect few will have seen. Keeping with the long ranger rippers, goal three serves up another missile from Turkey.

Position four sees a generally maligned striker make his case for playing time with a superb solo goal, while its back to the long-distance rockets at goal five as the crackers kept flying in across Europe.

Something a little different pops up at position six and the silkiest finish of the week comes into focus. Then, at number seven, we continue to see goals capped with a delightful piece of skill as the goalscorer in question nutmegged an opponent before curling his effort into the far corner.

A fine goal comes in at number eight as a team move is finished off with a solo slalom run and finish. Thats followed by a brilliant forwards goal from Belgium as a centre-forward showed how one can be a target man and a goal-scorer at the same time. Rounding off the list we have a world-class counter-attacking move that the best defences in the world would have struggled to contain.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, happy New Year, and most importantly that youre football team should win, all thats left to say is is sit back and enjoy!

The Hottest Tour de France 2010 Podium Girls

Image
The annual Tour de France is among the most grueling races in all of sports. But every summer, hundreds of cyclists brave the plains, the mountains, the sun and the rain of France (and often the surrounding countries) to complete the 3,500-plus kilometer trek. But why? Fame? Sure, names like Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond and defending champion Alberto Contador will go down in the annals of cycling history. Money? Certainly, the winners make some dough from winning and from the sponsorship deals that can result. The challenge of it all? No doubt, there are some competitors just looking to see where they rank among the top athletes in the sport. But there's another reason to race. If you win, you get to stand on the podium with some of the world's most beautiful women. Whether they're delivering handshakes, kisses or the radiant yellow jersey , these ladies serve as serious motivation t...

No matter what the situation, you can bet that there will be some sexy ladies on the sidelines cheering them on, just as they have been all season.
