RadioShack leader Lance Armstrong announced today via Twitter what many suspected; the 2010 Tour de France will be his final ride in cycling's biggest event. Armstrong won the Tour de France seven times consecutively from 1999 to 2005, and came back from cancer to break the record of five wins, surpassing Jacques Anquetil (1957, 1961, 1962, 1963 and 1964), Eddy Merckx (1969, 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1974), Bernard Hinault (1978, 1979, 1981, 1982 and 1985) and Miguel Indurain (1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995), who was the first to win five consecutively. "And yes, this will be final Tour de France. It's been a great ride. Looking forward to 3 great weeks," Armstrong said on Twitter.

巴西在16強戰以3比0大勝智利，順利闖進8強。 上半場中後衛Juan與前鋒Luis Fabiano在3分鐘內各進1球，使得Dunga領軍的巴西吃下定心丸，下半場Robinho錦上添花踢進第3球，更加確定巴西進軍8強。

Ivan Basso (Liquigas-Doimo) returns to the Tour de France this year for the first time since being excluded before the start of the 2006 race after being implicated in Operacion Puerto. After winning the Giro d'Italia, the Italian now has the yellow jersey in his sights. Speaking to La Stampa , he made his aims clear: “I want to the win the Tour”.

With a matter of days to go before the start of the Tour de France, seven time winner Lance Armstrong has given an indication that he is close to his best form. He did his traditional pre-Tour test on Monday and was satisfied with the outcome, indicating that it compared favourably with the best markers laid down in the past. “Last hard ride before the TdF,” he said on Twitter. “Test on the Col de la Madone. Record time? No. Close to it? Yes. I'm ready.” The Texan has long used the climb near Nice as a gauge of his condition. Several accounts detail that he would conduct tests on the climb with the doctor Michele Ferrari, trying to scale the mountain in the quickest possible time and then having lactic acid levels examined. The calculations would then show how many watts per kilogram he could sustain. A ballpark figure of 6.7 w/kg was considered ideal for the rider. His comments today suggest that he is very close to that mark.

阿根廷與墨西哥今天凌晨進行世界盃16強複賽，阿根廷維持強攻本色一路領先，終場以3比1輕取墨西哥，連續兩屆闖進8強。

世界盃十六強淘汰賽，「鐵甲坦克」發動閃電戰術，狠狠蹂躪「三獅軍團」。上半場以二比一領先的德國隊，下半場連進兩球，讓上半場被爭議性誤判「沒收」一球的英格蘭，士氣跌至谷底。最後德國就以四比一懸殊差距出線，不但踩著宿敵昂首挺進八強，也讓英格蘭輸掉隊史最慘烈的一役。

Astana has named its nine riders for the Tour de France, confirming the presence of Alexandre Vinokourov in the team. As expected, the nine-rider squad has built with the aim to help Alberto Contador win a third Tour de France. It includes experienced riders such as Vinokourov, Italian domestique Paolo Tiralongo and the Ukraine's Andriy Grivko, plus Spaniards David De la Fuente, Jesus Hernandez, Benjamin Noval and Daniel Navarro.

The news broke early this morning, that Saxo Bank director sportif, Kim Andersen, would be leaving Saxo Bank with immediate effect ahead of the Tour de France. Andersen is leaving the team to work with Bryan Nygaard on a ProTour team to be based in Luxembourg. Immediately, the names Andy and Frank Schleck were thrown into the mix - "How could they not be?," Team owner, Bjarne Riis, remarked this morning that he would have words pertaining to the subject later in the day. Riis spoke with Politiken.dk's Mogens Jacobson about the new development and confirmed that the Brothers Schleck will more than likely be involved.

Saxo Bank Tour de France hope Andy Schleck crashed heavily while out training with his brother Fränk today. The 25 year old Luxembourger finished second in last year's Grande Boucle and is expected to be a challenger for the overall when the race starts a week from today in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. "Was out training with @schleckfrank hit a big bump in the road, went down pretty hard, lost quite lot of skin all over my body but I'll be okay," he posted on his Twitter account. With a heavy fall to the ground he will hope no other problems creep up from the incident.

葡萄牙今天在世足賽中以0比0與巴西踼成平手，晉級16強，在世界盃第2輪比賽取得一席之地。

Current Belgian champion Tom Boonen (Quick Step) will not be defending his driekleur jersey in Leuven this weekend; neither will he be starting the Tour de France the following weekend. The 29-year-old from Mol, near Antwerp, has been suffering with left knee problems since the stage 1 crash of the Tour of California. A further crash, along with the cold, wet weather in last week’s Tour de Suisse, has exacerbated the injury forcing him to rest completely. Boonen was originally slated to ride both the Belgian championships and the Tour, with the aim of winning stages and repeating his points jersey triumph of 2007. He trained for 5 hours on the championships course yesterday though, and was in considerable pain afterwards. He had a scan on the joint and tendons at the hospital in Herentals and has been prescribed two weeks rest; this means that riding the Tour, which starts in eight days time, is out of the question.

踢和就能晉級的日本，今天在世界盃足球賽演出大驚奇，利用兩度開踢自由球機會，兩次神奇破網，終場以3比1擊潰「童話王國」丹麥，繼2002年之後再度光榮晉級16強。

荷蘭今天維持在世界盃預賽的完美紀錄，以2比1擊敗喀麥隆，贏得E組第一名，以全勝戰績挺進16強賽。

今年的世足賽給人難以置信的震驚。上屆冠、亞軍義大利與法國，雙雙以分組墊底的難堪成績被淘汰。這也是義大利自1974年以來，首度在首輪分組賽結束後就打包回家。

巴拉圭今天在世界盃足球賽F組最後一場預賽以0比0和紐西蘭踢成和局，但仍以分組第一地位晉級16強賽。

世足賽A、B兩組結束，烏拉圭與阿根廷都以小組第一名殺進16強，加上目前暫列小組首位的巴拉圭、巴西和智利，南美5強目前的表現絕對堪稱強勢，究竟南美球隊能否實現史無前例的5隊全拿第一出線，值得關注。

Quick Step team has announced a Tour de France team with a mix of experience and talent that will aim for stage wins when the race starts on July 3rd in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Leading their charge will be Tom Boonen, as he looks to challenge in the sprints to regain the form that saw him take the green jersey in 2007. The Belgian has been battling knee injury as of late, and told Sporza today that he has every intention of riding the Grande Boucle: “I am not currently thinking of giving up the Tour de France, but if the pain comes back after the Belgian championship, then I would seriously consider it,” he said.. “I will ride the championships on Sunday to know where I stand.”

The American HTC-Columbia will head to the Tour de France next week targeting both the Green Jersey and the General Classification, and the team's management is confident they will be at the Grand Départ next Saturday with a team that can support both goals."We are going into the race focused on our combined strength as a team and will exploit every chance for success - stage wins, jerseys and outstanding performances," explained team owner Bob Stapleton. Despite his excellent season performances amounting to eleven wins, André Greipel was overlooked by the team. The team's sprint efforts will instead be led by Mark Cavendish, who will enter the race with question marks after dental problems derailed his early season build-up. The Manxman has only three wins so far this season, and was beaten handily by Francesco Chicchi during the final sprint stage of the Tour of California, finishing well out of the lead in third place. His last sprint saw him meet the paveme...

Team Saxo Bank has selected the line-up for the greatest race of the year. The 2010 Tour de France starts on Saturday, July 3rd of July with an 8.9 kilometer long prologue in the streets of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The line-up for the Tour de France 2010: Fabian Cancellara, Andy Schleck, Fränk Schleck, Jens Voigt, Stuart O'Grady, Matti Breschel, Chris Anker Sørensen, Jakob Fuglsang and Nicki Sørensen.

阿根廷與希臘台北時間23日凌晨進行交手，世界足球先生梅西（Lionel Messi）首度擔任隊長工作，即使他此戰多次試射還是未進，但成功組織攻勢助隊友在下半場尾聲連進2球，最終就以2比0勝出，另一場南韓與奈及利亞2比2踢平，阿根廷、南韓攜手進入16強。

法國隊大幅更動6名先發球員，背水一戰，但面對團結一致的南非，上半場就已0：2落後，下半場法國雖追回1球，仍以1：2落敗，同時進行的A組另一戰，烏拉圭以1：0踢走墨西哥，最後由烏拉圭和墨西哥取得前2名晉級16強，法國、南非慘遭淘汰。

Last year's Tour de France second place feels he's ready to go one better this time Second place in last year’s Tour de France, Andy Schleck (Saxo Bank) believes he has done all that he can to go one better in this year’s race. The younger Schleck brother has just the defence of his Luxembourg champion’s jersey before the Tour starts in Rotterdam, Netherlands on July 3rd. Like most of the race’s main contenders, Schleck has made the reconnaissance of key stages a big part of his preparation. “I’ve explored the stages in the Alps and the Pyrénées,” Schleck told Sporza, “I’ve missed the tour of my own country [Luxembourg] to work on my time trialing. “I’ve sacrificed a lot for the Tour and I feel ready,” he continued. “I’m very happy with my form; my form is better than last year’s level.”

Last July Franco Pellizotti stood on the podium on the Champs-Elysées in Paris with the polka-dot mountains jersey on his shoulders. This year the Italian, nicknamed the Dolphin, will most likely have to watch the Tour de France on TV as his career still sits in limbo. Pellizotti was the highest profile of a number of riders who were withdrawn from competition, just before last month’s Giro d’Italia, because of apparently suspicious values on their biological passports. Many of those other riders have since been suspended, but Pellizotti has not; nevertheless, he still he waits for the green light to allow him to return to racing.

(法新約翰尼斯堡21日電)巴西在G組第2戰3比1擊敗象牙海岸之後，確定取得晉級16強資格，不過當家主力Kaka卻因為累積2張黃牌被罰下場。 Kaka在正規時間最後關頭因頂撞Kader Keita而吃下第2張黃牌，不過這位象牙海岸球員倒地時撫面，動作明顯誇張。

Fränk Schleck produced an outstanding time trial for his measures, losing only five seconds to Lance Armstrong in the final 27km race against the clock in Liestal. It is debatable whether Schleck produced the ride of the day, or Tony Martin, who beat Fabian Cancellara by 17 seconds over the wet roads in another rainy day in Switzerland. Armstrong finished the week-long tour second overall, 12 seconds behind Schleck. Beating Cancellara in a time trial is not evident. "I wasn't really expecting this," Martin said afterwards. "I've not been feeling so good in the last two or three days. It's been very cold and rainy here in Switzerland and I didn't think I had much of a chance today. But I was very motivated, I really wanted to put up a good fight for it, and I think the second half of the stage was where I gained most time on my rivals."

Marcus Burghardt (BMC Racing) won the seventh stage of the Tour de Suisse between Savognin and Wetzikon in a solo breakaway. The 26-year-old German attacked the rest of a breakaway group with 55km of the rolling stage still to ride and had enough time in hand to celebrate his victory, waving a German flag as he crossed the line. The breakaway group was led home by Oscar Freire (Rabobank), beating Greg Van Avermaet (OmegaPharma-Lotto) and Manuel Quinziato (Liquigas-Doimo) in the sprint for second.

(法新開普敦19日電)表現糟糕的英格蘭無法找到致勝之道，分組第2場比賽與阿爾及利亞打成0比0平手，迫使他們面臨最後一戰必須要贏斯洛維尼亞的巨大壓力。 Fabio Capello所執教的英格蘭，首戰與美國1比1戰平後就已受到多方的批評，這場比賽仍缺乏應有節奏，帶球每每被對手截斷，無法為比賽帶來任何刺激。

(法新約翰尼斯堡19日電)Michael Bradley終場前的關鍵破網，幫助美國下半場演出驚奇逆襲，不僅將斯洛維尼亞的勝利踢飛，也讓美國保有C組晉級的希望。 斯洛維尼亞上半場的狂暴攻勢連下2城，此為第13分鐘Valter Birsa與第42分鐘由Zlatan Ljubijankic所先後建功，看似分組賽第2勝到手且即將率先搶進16強的喜悅卻在下半場被美國澆熄。

(法新伊麗莎白港19日電)塞爾維亞在世界盃第2戰以1比0打敗僅10人的德國，這場比賽出現多達9張黃牌。Miroslav Klose出場、Lukas Podolski點球遭截導致德國落敗結局。 Milan Jovanovic上半場的進球寫下該國獨立建國後在世界盃的首勝，而Radomir Antic所帶領的塞爾維亞與德國、加納各以3分平起平坐，形成D組人人有機會的局面。

（法新社南非波羅克瓦尼17日電） 墨西哥今天在世界盃A組分組賽以2比0大勝法國，1998年拿下世足冠軍、2006年晉級決賽的法國瀕臨淘汰。 耶南德茲（Javier Hernandez）替補上場不久，第64 分鐘閃過法國門將洛里斯（Hugo Lloris），穩穩送進球門，墨西哥1比0領先。

今晚世足賽賽事相當精彩！由阿根廷和南韓正面交鋒，南韓一路處於挨打局面，阿根廷靠著前鋒伊瓜因一個人獨進3球，最後一球演出「帽子戲法」，最後以4：1痛宰南韓，阿根廷率先取得6分積分，幾乎確保了晉級16強的門票，這場比賽，也是兩大明星教練對賽，阿根廷的馬拉度納、南韓的許丁茂，24年前在球場叫勁，今晚帶兵再度對決，馬拉度納大獲全勝。

Robert Gesink (Rabobank) won the sixth and toughest stage of the Tour de Suisse between Meiringen and La Punt in a solo breakaway. The Dutchman escaped on the final, long, hors category Albulapass and descended alone to the finish. Rigoberto Uran (Caisse d’Epargne) led a chase group home 42 seconds later, with Oliver Zaugg (Liquigas-Doimo) taking third. With three major climbs and a total of 4761 metres to climb in the 213km, this was the Queen stage of this year’s Tour de Suisse. The parcours began the climb to the 2224m high Sustenpass almost immediately, so it was no surprise when a group of 13 riders broke clear.

Switzerland pulled off the biggest shock so far at this FIFA World Cup™ as Gelson Fernandes's strike against the run of play earned them a 1-0 win against European champions and joint-tournament favourites Spain. Vicente del Bosque's team predictably dominated possession but were hit on the break seven minutes into the second half as the Swiss recorded a first win over Spain in 19 attempts.

Brazil beat resilient Koreans Brazil secured a 2-1 win against Korea DPR but they were made to work extremely hard to secure maximum points after the Asian outsiders showed impressive resilience.

斯洛伐克「煮熟的鴨子，飛了！」在傷停補時剩不到1分鐘時，被搶攻的紐西蘭頂進扳平的1球，雙方最終以1：1言和，在F組中，4隊都以1平作收。 紐西蘭作為大洋洲球隊的代表，在世界盃的附加賽戰勝亞洲第五名巴林，時隔28年後再度獲得了參加32強的機會；斯洛伐克歷史上首次作為獨立國家進軍會內賽，歷史上，兩隊未在大賽中相遇過，因此本場比賽屬於名副其實的遭遇戰。

本屆世界盃，號稱死亡之組的G組，在15日晚間開踢！首先登場的是由人氣球星C羅納度，帶領的葡萄牙，對決非洲強權象牙海岸，結果到了終場，雙方都沒有拿下分數。 比賽開始，一如外界預期，擁有華麗腳法的超級巨星，C羅納度，遭受象牙海岸派重兵伺候，幾乎沒有持球的機會，而象牙海岸雖然頻頻發動速攻，但也被葡萄牙屢屢化險為夷。 踢完上半場，雙方0：0，都沒得分，比賽進入下半場，僵局依舊持續，雖然偶有零星攻勢，但都沒有辦法攻破對方球門，最後雙方踢成平手，各自拿下1分積分，也讓G組的晉級之路，更加難以預料。

The pile up at the end of today’s 4th stage of the Tour de Suisse, which brought down most of the top sprinters, was the fault of Mark Cavendish (HTC-Columbia) says the race jury. The 25-year-old Manx Express came into contact with Heinrich Haussler (Cervélo TestTeam) and the contact brought them both, and several riders behind them, crashing to the tarmac. Cavendish has been penalised 25 points in the polka-dot points jersey classification, 30 seconds in the overall classification and 200 Swiss Francs (~$175, £118, €143). He was also relegated to the back of the group that he was part of before the crash, putting him 105th on the stage, for what the jury described as “deviation from his line while endangering his colleagues and causing an accident”.

(法新布隆方丹15日電)靠著本田圭佑的進球，日本週一在布隆方丹就以1比0擊敗毫無生氣的喀麥隆，贏得在日本境外舉辦世界盃的首勝。 對於週日剛滿24歲的本田來說，這也是一個遲來的生日禮物。 藍武士率先在第39分鐘取得領先，儘管在下半場飽受的壓力日益增加，最後仍鞏固住勝利。

在南非舉行的世界盃足球賽，在第3天的賽程，3度在世足賽封王的德國隊，在D組小組賽首戰澳洲，上下半場分別各攻進2球，終場以4比0大勝澳洲隊。D組另外一場比賽，迦納隊對上塞爾維亞隊，迦納隊在第85分鐘，靠著前鋒吉安踢進關鍵的12碼罰球，以1：0的成績氣走塞爾維亞，拿下非洲隊伍今年世界盃第1勝。

(法新約翰尼斯堡14日電)拜一烏龍球，以及效力於利物浦的Dirk Kuyt補進第2顆入球，荷蘭以2比0擊敗丹麥、旗開得勝。 眾星雲集的荷蘭，是本屆世界盃備受看好挺進7月11日足球城市球場冠軍賽的球隊之一，不過這支由Bert van Marwijk執教的勁旅，在丹麥實幹的防守下，並未展現應有的水準。下半場甫開賽，丹麥後衛Simon Poulsen誤進自家大門，直到Kuyt第85分鐘的進球，才讓荷蘭緊握3積分。 「上半場表現有點緊張、洩氣，我們想一踢華麗的足球，卻太常失誤了。」van Marwij坦承道，「拿下第一分後，咱們才逐漸回復軌道，看來可以贏得更多，進了第2球之後更是信心十足。」

德國代表隊今年因為傷兵太多，包括主將巴拉克在內，許多名將都無法參與世足比賽，不過德國的第一場比賽，對上澳洲隊，卻旗開得勝！開場沒多久，就率先踢進一球，一路保持領先，最後以4：0的佳績，痛宰澳洲隊，原先不被看好，現在看來有奪冠的實力

Fränk Schleck (Saxo Bank) won the third stage of the Tour de Suisse between Sierre and Schwarzenburg after attacking on the final metres of the climb to the finish line. In a stage whose closing stages resembled an Ardennes classic, the Luxemburger was followed home by Colombian Rigoberto Uran (Caisse d’Epargne) and Dutchman Bauke Mollema (Rabobank) after 196.6km. “Fränk Schleck has been in great shape throughout the spring and now the results really start coming,” said Schleck’s director sportif Kim Anderson. “It was an amazing solo victory in a peloton loaded with strong riders getting ready for the Tour de France, and today's finale was very similar to the one he won in Tour de Luxembourg.”

Responding to a VeloNation request for feedback after the team was not listed as one of those taking part in the 2010 Vuelta a España, the BMC Racing Team has implied that it did not seek to participate in the Grand Tour. "When we were putting our racing program together for 2010, our initial commitment was to the Giro d'Italia. From an organizational standpoint, we felt that we could do one Grand Tour. If the opportunity came up, we could do one additional Grand Tour, like the Tour de France, as well,” said Jim Ochowicz, BMC Racing Team President to VeloNation. “At this time, the BMC Racing Team doesn't have enough riders on the roster – or enough staff – to do three Grand Tours. Therefore, we felt the maximum of two Grand Tours was all that we could handle. We would like to take a look at the Vuelta for the future. But for 2010, it is just not doable." The news means that Cadel Evans will have to find an alternative method of preparation for the defence...

Argentina joined Saturday's earlier winners Korea Republic on three points in Group B with a 1-0 victory over Nigeria at Johannesburg's packed Ellis Park. Gabriel Heinze scored the game's only goal with a diving header from a corner in just the sixth minute, although the two-time FIFA World Cup™ winners would have added more if not for the heroics of Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama and their own wasteful finishing.
