The awkward squad Ken Loach and Eric Cantona looked like a mismatch, until they worked together and it turned out they’re soul brothers – uncompromising and intense. So how come the result is Loach’s most light-hearted movie in years? Simon Hattenstone talks to them both
Happy birthday Ken Loach born on July 17. (his new film is called Jimmy’s House.)

Oldest first time winner. where does he fit? .
Wow.. his tactics revealed:brain game against Nadal.
Stan Wawrinka carried the Olympic flag, Federer and Wawrinka won gold medals together playing the double at previous Olympics. He is a late bloomer.. played many exciting games last year.
Update..
Congrats to Stan Wawrinka –
Via ESPN a new grand slam champion.
Wawrinka became the first man to defeat the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds at a Grand Slam since Sergi Bruguera at the 1993 French Open. He is also the only the fourth male player in Open era history to win a maiden Grand Slam singles title against a player with at least 13 majors on his résumé.

DFW was not the only one who admires Federer
But now the South African novelist has surprised critics by revealing his profound, almost obsessive respect for an unlikely figure – the Swiss tennis star Roger Federer.
Revealing himself as an armchair sports fan, Coetzee describes Federer’s best tennis as “something like the human ideal made visible” and says the experience of watching him play is “very much like my response to masterworks of art”.
Paul Auster and Coetzee see a cartoon and read the New Yorker article – The Better Player.

“The individuality has been lost for figure skating. Very few people can make it work. … It’s turned everyone into robots doing the same jumps and the same spins.”
I know what you’re saying: Well, that’s just Johnny being Johnny. But Stojko was an “athletic” skater compared with Weir’s “artistic” style, yet he has the same complaint.
“Before, you could really put the personality into your routine,” Stojko says. “Now, so much of your time is spent getting up the points that it ties the hands of the skaters. There are too many requirements.
Look what they can deliver, so refreshing. We need to rescue talented figure skaters from these judges.
