North Korea has violated its own denuclearization commitments and United Nations Security Council resolutions with its reprocessing of plutonium for atomic weapons production!

A court has ordered a Danish football supporter to pay £108,000 in compensation for interrupting a European Championship qualifier between Denmark and Sweden.

Ronni Noervig was responsible for the financial loss the Danish football federation sustained after he stormed the pitch in an attempt to attack German referee Herbert Fandel on June 2, 2007.

The match was abandoned, and Sweden was awarded a 3-0 win.

Denmark had to play two qualifiers away from its Copenhagen national stadium. They had orginally sued Noervig for £170,000 in lost ticket sales.

One of my History classmates is from France. My teacher played the handball over and over for 5 minutes with him saying it was not a handball and my teacher trying to prove him wrong. It was quite funny. ROI should have won and the referee should be sacked.

Tottenham vs Wigan was an amazing score. 9-1 to Spurs! Defoe scoring 5 goals. I can't believe it and Fabio Capello HAS to choose Defoe for South Africa.
