FIFA has banned high-altitide soccer and the Bolivians are revolting. It is pretty funny. When I went to Bolivia, I quickly found that the National team was pretty marginal but they have a great home record because their opponents suck wind so hard at 11k feet.

Quoted: Woods ran his total to 52 victories on the PGA Tour. He boosted his tour playoff record to 10-1, including 2-0 at Firestone. But Woods knew he was lucky just to get to extra holes.
