Sporting pictures of the Week :-20 August

Surely the highlight of the last week of the FIFA World cup.  Pierluigi Collina is keeping an eye on things.

Street art.  Faversham Lane Marrickville, Sydney.

Maybe rarely?  Some real class in defeat.

At least Lauren Hamp was there to off moral support.

From the Stephen Adams standing next to a normal guy files.  This time it’s Shaun Johnson.

And Jason Paris.

It’s easy to criticise, but everyone knows that the best photos of the Taj are either at dusk or dawn.

H4 para cycling race in England.

Topical.  From the Archives.  Romain Ntamack and father.

Cricket from around the world.  Swinton Castle in Yorkshire.

RIP Michael Parkinson.
