Liverpool swept past relegation threatened West Ham at Anfield with imperious ease. Rafa Benitez will have been pleased by his sides performance given that any hope of a Champions League spot have been all but extinguished.
Goals from Yossi Benayoun, his first since Boxing Day, David Ngog and a freak own goal from Robert Green helped the Merseyside club to an easy win that takes them back above Aston Villa and into sixth spot.
For some reason we here at COS Towers imagine that former Everton man and US Football (NOT SOCCER) star Landon Donovan is a very down to earth nice kinda guy. This view of the man with 2500 international caps (slight exaggeration for comic effect) is further advanced by his involvement with UAM (United Against Malaria). David Beckham is also lending his public profile to the organization that seeks to raise awareness and renew worldwide commitment to ending Malaria.
UAM is a global partnership of soccer stars, celebrities and health advocacy organizations that have come together to harness World Cup buzz in order to shine a spotlight on malaria in Africa. You can join them on Facebook and play the game that will help kick malaria out of Africa. For every 10 people that sign up a life-saving bed net will be donated to a family in need.

This is one of those tackles that has become increasingly common. The type of tackle that makes you wish you hadn’t watched it when eating your lunch. You know when a commentator says “That would’ve been so much worse if his leg had been planted when he was fouled” well this poor keeper did have his leg planted firmly to the ground, at least he did until the Linz striker Lukas Kragl decided to stamp on it! Thanks to 101 Great Goals for bringing this to our attention.
Bayern Munich went goal crazy as they cemented their spot at the top of the Bundesliga with this seven goal annihilation of relegation threatened Hannover. Arjen Robben continued this fine season with a hat-trick at the Allianz Arena.
