Who will be football's top transfer targets?
Any day now I will wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. It has been a week since I last watched a football game and the withdrawal symptoms will surely manifest themselves soon enough.
There is only one cure. Keep the mind busy until the Copa America kicks off on July 1. And what better way to do that than to start speculating on what major players may be moving this European summer?
Let’s do it. Below is a list of the top 10 transfer targets and where they may be going. FULL POST
Can Federer stop Nadal equaling Borg's record?
It’s been a pretty awful week in sports, with corruption, match-fixing and bribery claims and counter-claims flying every which way, but the latter stages of the French Open have restored my faith in the world we know and love.
The top four male tennis players have shown a gulf in class once again. After a very average first week, in relative terms, world No. 1 Rafa Nadal has got better and better as he bids to equal Bjorn Borg's record of six Roland Garros titles,.

The decision to take Formula One back to Bahrain this season has prompted a heated online debate, as more than 300,000 people signed an online petition calling for the race to be scrapped.
But you’d never have known that the F1 community itself had a view on it. Twitter, normally abuzz with comments from drivers and teams, was silent on this issue all day. Red Bull’s Australian driver Mark Webber was the only one to speak out, saying before the announcement: “When people in a country are being hurt, the issues are bigger than sport. Let's hope the right decision is made.”
My sources within F1 tell me that many of the drivers are ambivalent, but those with a strong opinion on such a controversial issue will only speak off the record. Webber has been the exception, and he could be risking his future in F1 by saying much more. FULL POST
