Sports Date Of The Week: Soccer Time!

The World Cup begins this week and there are some great soccer games this weekend. For this weeks Sports Date OF The Week, take your guy to an English pub/bar in your area and watch the USA vs. England game on Saturday. In that type of environment, it’s bound to be a great time.

An interesting stat for the game: the two teams have played eachother nine times with England taking seven of those games. In those nine games a whopping 43 goals have been scored, which is a lot!

Team USA has nothing to lose with this match, we think they’ll come out strong but there’s a lot of pressure on England since their departure from the last World Cup was a huge disappointment. Team USA will need big performances from Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey. Goalkeeper Tim Howard will also be a key player.

Team England is missing their captain, Rio Ferdinand and will be looking to Wayne Rooney, Ledley King and John Terry to lead the way. England won all three of their friendlies.

Go Team USA!

USA vs. England on Saturday, June 12th at 11:30am PST

Sports Date of the Week

It’s a well known fact that most men love boxing. Why not surprise the man in your life (or the man you want to be in your life!) with a date he’ll love? HBO pay-per-view is offering a match-up of two of the best boxers out there right now. Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr., six-time World Champion, is boxing Shane “Sugar” Mosley, the current WBA welterweight champion in Las Vegas. With the two being considered two of the top three boxers regardless of weight, (Manny Pacquiao is in the mix, too.) the match-up has generated a lot of hype for not being a title bout.

The fight is scheduled to air at 6 p.m. PT, and you can either stay in to watch it, or head out to one of the 250 movie theaters across the nation that are showing the fight.

Want to plan a date that your man will love? Here it is.

HBO is set to debut their much anticipated documentary on the rivalry of two of the greatest basketball players ever. Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals will premiere this Saturday on HBO. Our suggestion? Cook him his favorite meal (or order-in from his favorite restaurant) and surprise him with a screening of the HBO documentary.

It’s been getting rave reviews and showcases some very compelling topics: Magic’s womanizing ways, the suicide of Bird’s father and the dynamic rivalry that reinvigorated the NBA.
