Ashley Cole faces flight ban after Iceland incident.



A huge cloud hangs over the future career of England Premier league player Ashley Cole following an incident in an Iceland frozen food store yesterday. According to witnesses, Ashley Cole erupted during a visit to an Iceland store in London's Heathrow airport while waiting to board a flight. The incident allegedly occurred after the footballer was told that the store did not sell lava lamps. He then "exploded" and started spewing obscenities at staff with authorities immediately taking the precautionary measure of banning Cole from flying in European airspace. Authorities suggest that the Chelsea star will be barred from flying for several days until "he cools down a little" said one official at Heathrow.

Miami FC vs FC Tampa fan videos and much more...

Before we jump into the game videos you need to head over to Miami Soccer Fan and read the Ultras game day review along with an after game interview with Miami FC's captain Jarryd "The Hammer" Goldberg. Check it out HERE

Kenn.com/the_blog has put up a Pro Soccer Attendance Figures chart. It's still a little early in the Soccer season to put this up and see how teams are really doing at the gates, but it's pretty cool anyway! Now I know I'm going to get criticism for this one but the old Miami Fusion's attendance was higher then at-least 4 other teams in MLS today! It just tells me that MLS made a mistake pulling the plug on this market. Now on the other hand... You want to see how the Blues are doing in attendance? See it HERE

The 2014 World Cup might just be played in the good old U.S. of A after all! Seems Brazil is behind in preparation and the world governing body FIFA is not too happy about it. Some of you might remember that back in 1986 the World Cup was to be held in Colombia. But, they couldn't do it for one reason or another so it was held in Mexico instead.

Following are game day videos of the Miami FC Blues versus Tampa Bay Rowdies that took place at Lockhart Stadium this past Saturday.

Blues undefeated but winless... Game day pictures

Miami FC remains undefeated, but remain winless in three games so far this season. It didn't help that star midfielder Christian Gomez was ejected early in the second half leaving the team with only 10 players. Tampa took advantage of the situation and leveled the score. For more on the game go HERE

The crowd that gathered for the game enjoyed the pre-game tailgate freebies and supported their teams. Tampa fans came down in large numbers. It added to a great ambiance that for the most part were friendly.
Following are game day pictures taken by Robert Scorca:

Sky News denies bias in wake of cow mooing "vote Cameron" story.



Rupert Murdoch-owned UK broadcaster Sky News denied accusations of bias yesterday after broadcasting a segment featuring a cow whose moo, the report suggested, sounded like "vote Cameron". Despite UK law requiring broadcasters to maintain a neutral perspective, critics argue that Sky News has used every opportunity to paint Conservative Party candidate David Cameron in a positive light, over-emphasizing positive stories, while downplaying recent poll gains made by Liberal Democrat rival Nick Clegg.

Sky News political editor Adam Boulton denies the network is trying to become a British version of Fox News.

Sky News has vigorously defended this latest accusation, with political editor Adam Boulton arguing that "The cow story was meant to be humorous...plus, we really felt that it's mooing sounded like 'vote Cameron'." Mr Boulton also defended the channel's decision to analyse the potential negative implications for Nick Clegg in light of the cow's moo, arguing that "We thought it a legitimate question to ask: if even cows are mooing for Cameron, then Clegg might be in real trouble. That's an entirely objective question to ask."
