Bayern Munich 2-0 Sao Paulo - Audi Cup 2nd semi-final

Bayern Munich with second-half goals from substitutes Mandzukic and Weiser saw of Sao Paulo of Brazil to record a comfortable victory and set up a clash with Manchester City in the Audi Cup final. Manchester City in the first Semi-final had beaten A C Milan 5 - 3 to book their place in the finals.

The majority inside the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening were left frustrated as the Brazilian visitors defended resolutely during the first period, as Pep Guardiola's star-studded side struggled to find the cutting edge in the final third despite their dominance.

However, the introduction of Mario Mandzukic for Claudio Pizarro at half-time sparked the German champions into life and they hit the front just 10 minutes into the second period when the Croatian striker volleyed home Arjen Robben's cross, before Mitchell Weiser sealed the win with a late strike

Bales tells AVB that he wants to quit - I'M LEAVING

Gareth Bale has told Andre Villas-Boas face to face that he wants to leave Tottenham and join Real Madrid this summer.

It comes as a huge blow to Spurs on the Wales star's first day back at training after a world record £85million bid from the Spanish giants.

Real sporting director Zinedine Zidane has said Bale should be allowed to follow his dreams by moving to Spain, adding that he could become the best player in the world at the Bernabeu.

The Wales forward wants a move to Madrid but is reluctant to hand in a transfer request at Tottenham.

This can be a once in a life time offer because he is not guaranteed to do better in the coming season as he did last season. Spurs take the money and be happy.

Manchester City 5 AC Milan 3: Pellegrini's boys hold off Italian fightback to move into Audi Cup final in the U.S

There were gaps at the back Manuel Pellegrini will want to fill in a hurry, but there was no mistaking Manchester City’s attacking potency as they swept into the Audi Cup final at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Five goals to the good after 35 minutes, they inexplicably allowed AC Milan back in it towards the end of a bizarre first half and might even have paid for their misplaced generosity as the Italians sensed an opportunity to round off one of the more unlikely comebacks in what turned out to be a scoreless second 45 minutes.

It looked like being a rout, as David Silva prodded home a third-minute opener, after good work on the right by Stevan Jovetic, and Micah Richards and Aleksandar Kolarov helped themselves to further goals in the 19th and 22nd minutes.

Here we go - Pedophiles Call for Same Rights as Homosexuals

Using the same tactics used by “gay” rights activists, pedophiles have begun to seek similar status arguing their desire for children is a sexual orientation no different than heterosexual or homosexuals.

Critics of the homosexual lifestyle have long claimed that once it became acceptable to identify homosexuality as simply an “alternative lifestyle” or sexual orientation, logically nothing would be off limits. “Gay” advocates have taken offense at such a position insisting this would never happen. However, psychiatrists are now beginning to advocate redefining pedophilia in the same way homosexuality was redefined several years ago.

Could CONDOMS boost vaginal health?

Study finds they increase levels of friendly bacteria and prevent minor infections

It’s not just the gut that benefits from friendly bacteria, a person’s more intimate regions do too - and condoms have been found to boost levels in women’s vaginas.

A study has revealed that sexually active women who used condoms have greater quantities of beneficial bacteria called Lactobacillus compared to other forms of contraception.

Possessing healthy levels of the bacteria in that part of the body is associated with a lower incidence of itchiness and even a lower chance of being infected with HIV.

I ended five-year relationship for hot fling but I miss my ex

SWAPPING sexy texts with a hot girl I met on a night out led to a feel-good affair. They started me thinking how good life might be with a girl who was up for some fun.

I’m 26 and my now ex-fiancée is 25. We were together five years. We needed some cash for our dream wedding and decided to save money by house-sharing with another couple. It wasn’t ideal and it wasn’t much fun staying in every night. We started to argue a lot and then things went sour in the bedroom as well.

Bras don't actually work, says French study

Burn your brasseires, ladies: Scientists say they increase sagging and don't alleviate back pain.

Countering everything we’ve ever been told about supporting the upper curves, a new study from France says we’ve got it all wrong. Wearing a bra does nothing to decrease back pain, and the support offered by a brassiere actually encourages the breasts to sag. Quelle horreur!

NJC recommends sack of Chief Judge for age falsification

The National Judicial Council on Monday recommended the compulsory retirement of Justice Shadrach Nwanosike, the acting Chief Judge of Abia State, from office.

This was contained in a statement signed by the acting Director, Information of the Supreme Court, Soji Oye.

The statement said that the recommendation was sequel to the findings of the NJC that Nwanosike falsified his date of birth, which invariably affected his retirement age.

Trophy HUSBAND: The high-flying women paying for their partners to get surgery

The phrase ‘trophy wife’ has long been used as a way of describing an attractive woman who is married to a successful man. 

But as more women climb the career ladder, it seems that the tables may be beginning to turn as they look for a partner who can not only impress them with their success - but with their looks too.

Using data collected from a high end dating agency and a cosmetic surgery clinic, researchers found a growing number of women are searching for a partner who not only comes with the promise of professional and financial success, but one who will also look the part when accompanying them to functions and social occasions.

Naked models covered in body paint help artist to create Hot wheels! - BEAUTIFUL

At first glance this Fiat 500 just looks but a bit wobbly.

But this car is more likely than most to get engines revving as it is actually a pile of carefully-painted naked models.

Spurs rejects Real Madrid £82m WORLD RECORD bid for Bale, and now he refuses to play for them – Let him go.

Tottenham superstar Gareth Bale is in turmoil after the club turned down a world record £82million bid for him from Real Madrid.

The 24-year-old missed his club's pre-season friendly in Hong Kong on Saturday - and cannot see himself wearing the white of Tottenham again.

Manager Andre Villas Boas has diplomatically put the Welshman's absence from this week's Barclays Asia Trophy tournament down to a muscle strain. But the reality is that the player is physically fit to play - but mentally shattered.

Tottenham needs to let him go now or they will be left with a player who would not give his best anymore to them and rein a perfect relationship. This is another William Gallas in the making. 

This is a life time opportunity and Spurs should respect that. Take the money, It's big enough and let the man go.

Am beginning to fall in-love with this pope as I did with Pope John Paul II – Pope holds final Mass in Rio, Brazil with three Million people in attendance. Great scene, beautiful.

Pope Francis has completed a historic trip to his home continent by celebrating mass to three million people on Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana beach.

The colossal crowds cheered the first Latin American pope in a remarkable response to his message that the Catholic Church must shake itself up and get out into the streets to find the faithful.

Nuns mixed with bikini-clad young women as nearly the entire 2.5-mile crescent of Copacabana’s broad beach in Rio overflowed with people, some of them taking an early morning dip in the Atlantic and others tossing flags and football shirts into the pontiff’s open-sided car as he drove by.

Bolt arrives in style and wins at Olympic Anniversary Games in UK

Watch out Moscow, Usain Bolt is getting quicker. The six-time Olympic champion ran 9.85sec, his fastest time this season, to win the men’s 100m at the Anniversary Games on Friday night.

But it was the result athletics needed after a torrid fortnight, and a performance the packed Olympic Stadium certainly wanted to see.
