Football
Goal-line technology in football crept closer last week, with FIFA announcing that it plans to install systems in three stadiums in the Premier League for next season - with a view to rolling it out across the continents if successful.

Following the surfacing of shocking archive footage, it's now abundantly clear why soccer remains a marginally supported game in the United States:



And here's our Goal of the Week, from the Qatar Stars League (no less), in a match between Al Rayyan and Al Gharafa that finished 1-1:



Basketball
The Heat dried their tears by snapping a five-game losing streak against the Lakers last week - snapping LA's eight-game winning streak in the process - 94-88. For all the (usually justified) criticism, LeBron finally flicked his switch back to 'win mode' and controlled the proceedings from start to finish:



Jacob Tucker is an unknown basketball player who just graduated from Illinois College. He's 5'11" and can dunk more like he's 6'5". So, he uploaded this highlight reel:



The video has since gone bananas - technically, 'bananas' = two million hits - and caught the attention of the NCAA Dunk Contest which is scheduled for this weekend. But before the organisers could extend an invite to Tucker, he got a little competition (Rico Cunningham, below), and now the NCAA is leaving to the fans to decide which of these unknowns should get a wild card spot at the college showcase:



ESPN has just aired a riveting documentary about the infamous 'Fab Five' Michigan University team of 1992 and 1993 - which included Chris Webber. It makes Blue Chips look like Sesame Street (…remember Blue Chips? Yeah, you do.) Anyway, go here and bookmark The Fab Five, and then watch it over lunch, or tonight, or just soon - cause ESPN will surely rip it down due to copyright at some point, and then you'll miss out on something awesome. I'd never want that to happen to you.

[UPDATE: Well, the inevitable happened, and the doco has since been taken down. Sad face. But here's another good video for you in consolation, still looking back at those same fabulous five:]


And, still with college basketball, here's a collection of the greatest moments in NCAA history - using Lego:



NFL
I've been avoiding any mention of the likelihood of an NFL Lockout next season because a) it's about as entertaining as listening to a bunch of billionaires argue in a hotel function room against a lot more millionaires, and b) no, wait, there was only a point 'a'. Yesterday's US Sports Wrap stepped up and gave you a good run down though - clearly it's infinitely more patient and insightful than the World Sport Report. I, on the other hand, would simply like to show you what goes on during the off-season scouting camps - or, more specifically, when a Director of College Scouting at the Denver Broncos decides to run a drill with a 6'9", 315 pound offensive linesman:



MLB
SF Giant's pitcher, Tim Lincecum, has an uncanny doppelganger. Or a stalker. Or a blackmailer. It's hard to tell - he has an accent.



The real Lincecum has just been featured in this interesting article by the NY Times. The doppelganger was not mentioned.

Tennis
The Indian Wells tournament is underway in the States right now, here's a look at the progress - including a Will Ferrel cameo:



Union
Italy has defeated France for the first time in history, in a thrilling Six Nations tournament encounter that finished 22-to-21. Highlights:



Freeriding
Another awesome bike video for you this week: Where The Trail Ends. Enjoy.
