Gio van Bronckhorst: Goal of the tournament?

It doesn't get much bigger than a World Cup semifinal (unless we're talking about a World Cup final) and Giovanni van Bronckhorst's opening strike against Uruguay was more than worthy of the occasion. It sparked the Netherlands to a 3-2 victory over Uruguay — their most impressive win of the tournament — and sends them through to their first final since Argentina '78. Gio's thunderous left-footed strike went just over Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera's fingertips, rocked the far post and bounced into the net, giving the Clockwork Oranje a clockwork start to the semifinal.

Some are calling it the goal of the tournament and it makes a strong case. Between the sheer awesomeness of it and the fact that it came in the biggest game of the tournament so far, it's hard to argue different.
That absolute rocket is going to be tough to top, but if he can somehow get the ball over the line in the final as the Netherlands try to win their first World Cup, van Bronckhorst would surely be the king of Holland.

.Tigers' Miguel Cabrera in Home Run Derby

Detroit -- Miguel Cabrera is going to Monday's Home Run Derby, the prelude to Tuesday's All-Star Game at Anaheim, Calif.
He wasn't sure how the selection affected him when asked about it late Tuesday night, following the Tigers' 7-5, 11-inning victory over the Orioles.
That's because Cabrera wasn't feeling well following a hot, four-hour evening at Comerica Park. He asked politely if he could talk about the Derby on Wednesday.
Cabrera was expected to feel like a million bucks after slamming a mammoth, two-run, game-tying home run in the ninth inning that kept the Tigers alive until Johnny Damon's two-run homer in the 11th won it for manager Jim Leyland's team.
Cabrera was named Tuesday as one of six players who will compete in the annual power-hitting contest that has helped turn the All-Star Game into All-Star Week.
The others who will be joining him: David Ortiz, Boston Red Sox; Robinson Cano, New York Yankees; Vernon Wells, Toronto Blue Jays; Matt Holliday, St. Louis Cardinals; and Corey Hart, Milwaukee Brewers.
Two more players will be named sometime this week.
A couple of Cabrera's teammates had mixed emotions about his appointment to the Derby, in which he also competed when he played for the Florida Marlins in 2006.
"I hope it doesn't mess with his swing," said Magglio Ordonez, the Tigers outfielder who competed in the Home Run Derby in 2007, in San Francisco.
"One round, and see ya later," Ordonez said, laughing at his early dismissal from the fence-clearing tournament.
Brandon Inge was a late addition to last year's All-Star Game in St. Louis -- and a late addition to the Home Run Derby. As with Ordonez, he also made an early exit.
"He'll be fine," Inge said of Cabrera.
"I enjoyed it. I had a blast."
Cabrera's home run Tuesday night was his 21st of the season. He also had a triple (his first since 2008) and a single. He is batting .343 on the season with 73 RBIs.

Germany and Spain in fight for final

By Barry Moody
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Germany and Spain do battle Wednesday for the right to meet the Netherlands in the World Cup final, in a semi hoped to be one of the most exciting clashes of the tournament.
A 3-2 Dutch victory Tuesday against a Uruguayan side who battled until the last in an entertaining encounter, guaranteed Europe would win its first trophy outside the continent in the final at Johannesburg’s Soccer City Sunday.
“It is hard to comprehend, such a small country, but not a small footballing country, reaching the World Cup final,” emotional Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk said.

Controversial call costs U.S. another goal
At home, the Dutch partied and prayed their new heroes could go one better than the past masters who reached finals in 1974 and 1978 but in both cases agonizingly failed to win.
The second semi-final in Durban Wednesday could be a thriller with both teams committed to attack and fast passing.
The speed and quality of the German side has been one of the surprises of the tournament while European champions Spain are one of the world’s most stylish teams, able to torment opponents with precision passes and possession.
IMPRESSIVE GERMANY
Germany are looking to avenge their defeat by Spain in the 2008 Euro final.
The Netherlands, in their first final since 1978, had to endure some nail-biting moments Tuesday night when Uruguay pulled a goal back in added time and looked in danger of scoring another in the dying seconds.
Germany and Spain have suffered only one defeat in the tournament, both to small teams—Switzerland beat Spain and Serbia shocked Germany in the group stages.
But Germany have been the most impressive, their youngest squad in 76 years scoring four goals on three occasions past Australia, England and Argentina.
German coach Joachim Loew said Spain would be much harder to beat than Argentina and rival coach Vicente del Bosque paid tribute to his opponents’ blend of youth and experience.
Spain started more slowly in this tournament and have scored fewer goals, but striker David Villa is in deadly form, joint top scorer at the tournament on five goals.
VUVUZELA CONTROVERSY
Superstitious German fans may be worried that a supposedly psychic octopus which has correctly predicted the result of all their matches so far here, foresees a loss against Spain.
Paul the octopus, which lives in an aquarium in western Germany, makes his prophecy by picking food from containers marked with the flags of the two teams.
Perhaps to counter that, Germany coach Joachim Loew is refusing to change his trademark blue sweater on the touchline because staff and players think it brings them luck.
Away from the soccer, South African authorities continued their case against a British tabloid journalist accused of helping a fan illegally enter the England dressing room after their goalless draw against Algeria in Cape Town.
Although the fan did no more than make his angry feelings clear, the case seems to be the highest-profile security breach in an otherwise fairly trouble-free tournament.
Journalist Simon Wright, who has had to surrender his passport and report to police every day, will go to trial in Cape Town after prosecutors rejected his bid to have charges dropped.
On a happier note for organizers, the overall attendance will pass 3 million at Wednesday’s match, making it the third highest after the United States in 1994 and Germany in 2006.
Vuvuzelas may have been the unique symbol of South Africa 2010, but the plastic trumpets which sound like a swarm of angry bees are proving controversial.
In New Zealand, which hosts next year’s rugby World Cup, stadium authorities are banning them.
“I can’t see that that sort of deafening drone is going to be in any way well received,” said Bryan Pearson, chief executive of one venue management company.
The vuvuzela craze has even reached Peru, but for all the wrong reasons. Two women were arrested in front of a Lima school for trying to sell marijuana stuffed into the horns.

Bosh to join Wade in signing with Heat

Dwyane Wade(notes) and Chris Bosh(notes) have decided to sign with the Miami Heat while continuing to recruit LeBron James(notes) to help them form an All-Star triumvirate that threatens to shift the NBA’s balance of power, two sources with knowledge of the plans told Yahoo! Sports.

“They think they’ve got a real chance to pull this off with LeBron,” a league source said.
Said an official with one team that made a formal presentation to James: “It’s down to Cleveland or Miami for him.”
The three players shared a call after midnight on Wednesday, when Wade and Bosh told James they were committing to the Heat, a source said. James didn’t commit with them, but kept his own plans private for a television announcement on Thursday night. Wade and Bosh plan to formally announce their decision on Wednesday afternoon.
Still, Wade and Bosh decided they needed to make a commitment to give them the best possible chance of luring more talent – including James – with the additional salary-cap space in Miami.
The New Jersey Nets have turned their attention to trying to sign either Carlos Boozer or David Lee.
As a possible contingency plan if they don’t get James, the Heat have had trade conversations since before the draft about sending point guard Mario Chalmers(notes) and a first-round pick to Portland for shooting guard Rudy Fernandez(notes), a league source said. Another possible deal for Blazers point guard Andre Miller is now considered doubtful.
ESPN first reported Wade and Bosh’s plans.

The World Cup hero with no reward

CAPE TOWN, South Africa – In a week’s time, Andre Ooijer could be returning home to the Netherlands with a World Cup winners’ medal in his pocket and the thanks of a nation ringing in his ears.

And he won’t have a job.

After being released by Dutch club PSV Eindhoven at the end of last season, Ooijer has just a single offer on the table. It is from AEK Larnaca in the tiny European nation of Cyprus, whose national team is ranked 67th in the world.

On the surface, it is difficult to see why Ooijer is not in greater demand. After being drafted into the Netherlands lineup in its quarterfinal against Brazil after Joris Mathijsen was injured in pregame warmups, Ooijer performed strongly and shut down striker Luis Fabiano in the second half.

But Ooijer turns 36 in a week, and while he can stir reserves of energy from his aging legs for a handful of games at the World Cup, his ability to perform strongly over the course of a long club season is questionable.

“I am no longer 18 years old,” he said. “And for the moment I am without a club. It has affected me, but now, that is a thousand miles away from my mind.”

No surprise there. The next week gives Ooijer the chance to be a part of something truly special, something he could barely have dreamed of when he headed into this tournament as a central defender backup to Mathijsen.

Mathijsen has undergone treatment to his knee since the 2-1 win over Brazil, but it is still doubtful whether he can get through 90 – and possibly 120 – minutes of semifinal action.

That means Ooijer is likely to retain his place against Uruguay at Cape Town’s Green Point Stadium on Tuesday, where he would be charged with handling the South American side’s in-form striker Diego Forlan.

If Forlan can be controlled then the Netherlands would have one foot in the final, and Ooijer, a veteran of 56 international appearances, will have helped out his country once again.

Even if it doesn’t help his own career much.

“I am not doing this for how it can benefit my chances of finding a club,” Ooijer said. “I am doing this to help us win the World Cup. I am the daddy of the team. The guys are so much younger than me and it is interesting to be around them.

“But I believe in all of them and I know that with this group of players we have what it takes to become the champions of the World Cup.”

The Netherlands has never won a World Cup, having come tantalizingly close in both 1974 and 1978 in losses to host nations West Germany and Argentina in the final.

“For most of the players, that is so long ago it is like ancient history,” Ooijer said. “I am a bit older so I realize how close they came and what it would mean to the country if we could win the prize. That itself would be worth more than anything, better than anything else that could happen to me.”

Music Chart News

Eminem's "Recovery" (Interscope/Universal) started a second week as the U.K.'s No. 1 album and Katy Perry a second atop the singles chart with "California Gurls" (Virgin/EMI), featuring Snoop Dogg.

"Recovery" thus matches the performance of Eminem's last album "Relapse," which spent its first two weeks at No.1 in late May and early June last year. The single "Love The Way You Lie," featuring Rihanna, climbed 7-6 on the new July 4 Official Charts Company listing, while the album outdid the Scissor Sisters' "Night Work" (Polydor/Universal), which debuted at No. 2 as its single "Fire With Fire" slipped 11-12 in its second week.

Two former No. 1 albums, Alicia Keys' "The Element of Freedom" (J/Sony Music Entertainment) and Plan B's "The Defamation of Strickland Banks" (679/Atlantic/Warner Music), climbed back 6-3 and 7-4 respectively. Mumford and Sons' "Sigh No More" (Universal Island) improved 10-8 and David Guetta's "One Love" (Positiva/Virgin/EMI) 13-10.

There were notable sales spurts for performers at the previous weekend's Glastonbury Festival. Friday (June 25) headliners Gorillaz climbed 24-12 with "Plastic Beach" (Parlophone/EMI) and Saturday's bill-toppers Muse raced 62-13 with "The Resistance" (Helium 3/Warner Music). Stevie Wonder, who headlined at Hard Rock Calling in London's Hyde Park and then Glastonbury the next night, saw his "The Definitive Collection" (Motown/Universal Island) improve 57-16.

Perry's "California Gurls" withstood the challenge of "Airplanes" (Rebel Rock/Atlantic/Warner Music) by B.O.B. featuring Hayley Williams, which rose 12-2. Kylie Minogue's "All The Lovers" (Parlophone/EMI), which fell 4-6 last week, bounced back 6-3 after her appearance on BBC1's "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross" June 25.

Enrique Iglesias' "I Like It" (Interscope/Universal), the lead single from his new "Euphoria" album released today (July 5), debuted at No. 4, while labelmate Lady Gaga's "Alejandro" moved 8-7 and "Commander" by Kelly Rowland featuring David Guetta 13-9.

Eminem's "Recovery" debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's European Albums chart, while K'naan's "Wavin' Flag" (A&M/Universal) is in a second week atop European Hot 100 Singles.

Rafael Nadal ready to claim US Open title to complete full set of slams

If Federer stays in third spot throughout the hard-court swing in North America, he could end up having to play Nadal, the world No1 and Wimbledon champion, in the semi-finals of the US Open, which could have all sorts of consequences.
New York is supposed to be Federer’s town, as he has appeared in the last six finals, with his only defeat coming against Juan Martin del Potro in last summer’s title-match, but it sounds as though Nadal is going to arrive at Flushing Meadows next month as ready as he has ever been to win the US Open and to complete his collection of grand slam titles.


When Andre Agassi achieved his career grand slam, he was 29, and when Federer finished his set of majors, by taking last season’s French Open, he was 27, yet if Nadal can win in America, he will join that exclusive club at the age of 24. The only other players to have won all four slams at least once are Fred Perry, Don Budge, Rod Laver and Roy Emerson.
Nadal is winning grand slam titles at a faster rate than Federer did. At the age of 24 years and one month, Nadal has eight slams, while, at that same stage in his career, the Swiss had six.
Nadal has never reached the final on the New York concrete. The last couple of years he lost in the semi-finals. In 2008, he was exhausted by the time he reached America as that summer, in addition to achieving the Roland Garros-Wimbledon double, he had flown to China and back to win an Olympic gold medal in Beijing. He lost to Andy Murray in New York.
Last summer, his knees cost him his titles in Paris and London, and an abdominal strain ended any chance of success at the US Open. Nadal won just six games against Del Potro, an Argentine with a nasty forehand, for his heaviest defeat at the slams. “I hope to be ready, to be healthy, because for the last few years I have had problems,” Nadal said. “Maybe this year it will be different. Now the most important thing is for me to rest in Majorca, to enjoy the summer there and then have a mini-pre-season practice there.”
John McEnroe, who called Nadal “an animal”, said that this could be the year that the Majorcan holds up the trophy in the Arthur Ashe Stadium. “Nadal wants to win the US Open so badly. It would be hard not to pick him at this time even though he’s never won it,” McEnroe said to the ATP Champions Tour website.
“The guy’s just an animal; he’s mentally and physically incredible and he can definitely do it if he’s in this shape. The conditions in New York don’t suit Nadal so well and he needs to make his body hold up. So I think after Wimbledon he is going to take some time off and get his knees recovered and then maybe not play too many matches before the Open.”
Everyone seems agreed that Federer, who lost in the quarter-finals at the All England Club to the eventual runner-up Tomas Berdych, will never again dominate men’s tennis.
“Federer has done so amazingly well that anything but a win is almost considered a bad tournament,” McEnroe said. “But he’s won the Australian Open and been in two quarter-finals at majors this year, and almost any other player would love that.
“It’s inevitable at some stage, when you’ve won 16 slams and you’ve broken every record, that maybe you lose that will at certain times. I think Federer is going to win a couple more majors but you won’t see him dominate the way he has before.”

Angels rookie pitcher Adenhart killed in car crash

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart was among three people killed in a crash in Fullerton, California, early Thursday, according to the team and a hospital spokesman.
Adenhart, 22, from Silver Spring, Maryland, died at UC Irvine Medical Center, according to spokesman John Murray.
"The Angels family has suffered a tremendous loss today," Tony Reagins, the team's general manager, said in a written statement. "We are deeply saddened and shocked by this tragic loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Nick's family, friends, loved ones and fans."
One person was arrested in connection with the three-vehicle accident occurred about 12:23 a.m. Thursday in Fullerton, south of Los Angeles. Witnesses say a red minivan ran a red light and struck two vehicles at a Fullerton intersection, police Lt. Craig Brower told CNN.
One of the vehicles, a gray Mitsubishi, slammed into a power pole, Brower said. Two of its passengers were dead at the scene, he said. The other two were transported to UC Irvine Medical Center.
Murray said Adenhart underwent surgery and died at the hospital, but did not know if he died during or after the procedure. Brower said the remaining passenger was in critical condition.
The Angels said the two dead at the scene included the female driver of the Mitsubishi and another male. No other members of the Angels organization were involved, the team said.
Adenhart reportedly was "in bad condition at the scene," team spokesman Tim Mead told reporters, and there wasn't much that could be done for him at the hospital. He died "mid- to late morning," Mead said.
A passenger in the minivan was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, Brower said. The third vehicle sustained minor damage, and its driver was unhurt, he said. Police did not identify any of the dead.
The minivan's driver fled the scene and was later arrested, Brower said. Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, of Riverside will face charges of manslaughter, felony driving under the influence and hit-and-run, he said.
Footage from the scene showed the minivan with a smashed front end and the Mitsubishi, which was heavily damaged. Debris littered the intersection where the crash took place, and it was cordoned off with yellow police tape.
The Angels' game Thursday night with the Oakland A's was postponed at the direction of Bud Selig, commissioner of Major League Baseball. No information was released as to when the game would be played.
"Major League Baseball is in mourning today upon the news of this tragedy that has taken Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others," Selig said in a statement. "Nick was just 22 years of age, with a wonderful life and career ahead of him. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I extend my sincere sympathy to the families and friends of all three victims and to the entire Angels' organization. I send my deepest condolences to Nick's parents, Jim and Janet. The hearts of everyone in baseball are with them at this most difficult time."
The Angels quoted Adenhart's family in the team statement, saying they "expresses sincere gratitude for all the help the Angels have provided.
"He lived his dream and was blessed to be part of an organization comprised of such warm, caring and compassionate people," Adenhart's parents said in the Angels statement. "The Angels were his extended family. Thanks to all of Nick's loyal supporters and fans throughout his career. He will always be in everyone's hearts forever."
Funeral and memorial arrangements were pending, the team said.
MLBPA Executive Director Donald Fehr issued the following statement.: "We were shaken and deeply saddened when we learned about the terrible accident that claimed the lives of Nick Adenhart and others. Just hours before the accident, Nick demonstrated his passion for baseball and his prospects for a very bright future when he pitched six scoreless innings for the Angels. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Nick's family, his teammates, the Angels organization and his many friends and fans; it is very painful to lose a son, a teammate and a friend under these circumstances, and we also extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the other victims of the crash."
Adenhart pitched in a game against the Oakland A's Wednesday night in Anaheim, California, making what was characterized as a "brilliant effort" despite the Angels' 6-4 loss, according to Major League Baseball's Web site, MLB.com.
In his fourth major league start, Adenhart pitched a scoreless six innings, allowing seven hits, three walks and five strikeouts.
"I thought he pitched a terrific game," manager Mike Scioscia told MLB.com after the game and before the crash took place. "He gave us a chance to win. He has better tools out there now. He pitched ahead a lot and was able to get back in counts and put guys away."
"It felt good to work out of some jams early," Adenhart told MLB.com. "My curveball was really working for me, and then my change came on later when I felt I needed it."
Jim Adenhart had flown out from Baltimore, Maryland, and was at Wednesday night's game to watch his son's start, his first of the season, Mead said. He remained in California Thursday, and Janet Adenhart was expected to fly out later in the day.
The Angels drafted Adenhart in the 14th round of the June 2004 draft, according to the team statement. He was in his fifth professional season and made the Angels Opening Day Roster for the first time.
"Adenhart earned his spot in the Angels rotation via a spring training in which he recorded a 3-0 record and a 3.12 ERA over the course of six starts," the team statement said. "During that span, he struck out 18 while allowing only five base on balls."
Adenhart made his major league debut May 1, 2008, against Oakland, the team said. At the time, he was the youngest active-roster pitcher in the majors.
Adenhart was a 2004 graduate of Williamsport High School in Williamsport, Maryland. His baseball coach there, Rod Steiner, told CNN affiliate WHAG, "After watching last night, as well as he pitched ... things seemed to be going so smooth. This is the last thing that you ever imagine."
He remembered Adenhart as a hard worker who knew he wanted to be a major-league pitcher while still in high school, and worked hard to achieve that goal, despite a setback when he had to undergo shoulder surgery.
He said area residents who didn't even know Adenhart followed his career and cheered him on. "He touched a lot of lives."
Adenhart was a member of the 2006 Olympic Qualifying Team that traveled to Cuba and qualified the United States for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. He started one game for Team USA, earning a no-decision and striking out six batters in an 8-7 win over Brazil.
"You're never prepared for this kind of news," USA Baseball Executive CEO Paul Seiler said. "We, like the entire the baseball community, mourn the loss of someone so young who was in the prime of his life. Our thoughts go out to his family, his teammates and the entire Angels organization."
Davey Johnson, who managed the 2006 Olympic Qualifying Team, fondly remembered his time with Adenhart.
"One of the highlights of managing for USA Baseball is the opportunity to work with bright, young players who are eager to learn the game. Nick embodied all of those attributes. He was a joy to manage in Cuba and was a key contributor to our success there. This is such a tragedy -- his career was just getting started."
