I don't know if this is really true or not (you know how sports figures' retirement announcements are often seen), but Landon Donovan is supposedly leaving the game of soccer for good: sports.yahoo.com/news/landon-donovan-says-hell-retire-175633339--mls.htmlThis comes after he scored the winning goal in the MLS All-Stars' recent 2-1 win over one of the soccer world's powerhouse squads, Bayern Munich. However, he does say that he intends to enjoy the rest of the season and go out a winner, which means giving the Los Angeles Galaxy the fifth MLS Cup of its 18-season existence.

Well, looks like he's had a pretty good career. 32 is still rather young though.

Quote by jhar26 re. Landon Donovan:
Even soccer can put some wear and tear into a player, whether its Donovan, or David Beckham, or Pele. It is an extremely physical game--but a game whose physicality I don't think a lot of my fellow Americans really understand.

One year after the Olympics the American speedskaters have big succes in the World Championships...
Shani Davis managed to beat both favorites and won the 1500 meters Heather Richardson won the 500 meters after being 2nd on the 1000 meters Brittany Bowe won the 1000 meters and ended second on the 500 meters
Where did it go wrong last year?

Not much of a championships for Bart Swings. No, Pity. I think he needs to think about what his specialism will be. 1000/1500 meters or 5000/10000 meters?

With last night's 105-97 win over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors are the 2014-2015 champions of pro basketball. It is the second major sports title won for the San Francisco Bay Area in eight months (following the Giants winning the 2014 World Series last October); but it is the first NBA title for the Warriors since 1975. www.cnn.com/2015/06/17/us/nba-champion-golden-state-warriors/

Yeah, the turnaround of the Warriors has been a big sports story here in Bay Area this year. They were a pathetic joke for years: good going . Young (mainly) and entertaining team, they may hang around at top level for a few years. . .
