All tag results for 'world cup'

Is it an exciting game of soccer where the two teams are so evenly matched that the result is a 0-0 tie, or is that the most boring game in history??

We're sure people would argue the former!

For the U.S., this means we're now in third place in the World Cup qualifying with 1-1-1. Three of ten matches in, we're right behind Panama by one point!

The thing is — the Americans got lucky!

It's true: Cristiano Ronaldo, only 27 years old, will collect his 100th cap when Portugal meets Northern Ireland in a World Cup qualifier staged in Porto!

Not only that, but he'll be reaching the 100 international caps in front of 50,000 fans — and this will mark yet another accolade for the former Manchester United player.

What does this mean?

Not only is spanish soccer player Cesc Fabregas incredibly athletic, but he looks good with his shirt off and is great with kids.

If that doesn't make the World Cup champion a hottie, we don't know what does!

Arnold Schwarzenegger loves to watch skiing — even without any gloves! Look how happy he is! Ha!

The Terminator star joined his bodybuilder-actor friend Ralf Moeller (Gladiator) in Austria last Saturday to watch the annual World Cup alpine ski races, the Hahnenkammrennen.

The event takes place in the Kitzbühel Alps and a winner (referred to as the Hahnenkammsieger) is determined by combining results of the prestigious downhill race, which Arnie and company watched, and the slalom.

Check out more pics of Arnold's visit to his home country below!

Attention everyone! Throwing a person smaller than you into the air is NOT cool!

Martin Henderson, a 37-year-old dwarf who played a goblin in the Harry Potter films, was paralyzed after a drunken hooligan picked him up and tossed him into the air (and eventually the ground).

The 4-foot 6-inch actor is now putting the blame on English rugby player Mike Tindall and his World Cup teammates who participated in dwarf tossing New Zealand last fall.

Alicia Keys may have just found her number one fan!

Bono, the lead singer of U2, praised her for not only her musical endeavors, but her charitable impact on the global fight against AIDS.

At the world premiere of Keys' new Showtime documentary Keep A Child Alive with Alicia Keys, the rocker and well-known philanthropist praised her for finding her "lioness energy" to visit South Africa while pregnant to shine a light on the AIDS epidemic.

The R&B singer started the Keep a Child Alive charity in 2003 to assist those affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. Bono believes her positive influence on the less-fortnuate world around her will only grow stronger since giving birth last year because she won't "let other mothers suffer."

Alicia hopes the film, which airs on the premium channel in conjunction with World AIDS Day on December 1st, will inspire people to start donating toward her organizations cause.

"Even if you never have been able to travel there, or if you never can," she says. "That doesn't mean you can't travel with us and really see it for yourself."
