Biography
Also known as Stan the Man, Stan Smith is the central character in the hit animated show American Dad. A C.I.A. agent who later on becomes a Deputy-Deputy Director, he becomes the third most important person in the C.I.A. This former field agent has become an export in the field of weapons. Although generally perceived as a loving husband and a family man, he usually causes most of the problems at home mostly due to his "God Bless America" outlook. Very nationalistic, loyal and vigilant, he definitely makes the show out of the ordinary.

Greatest Rugby World Cup XV: Fly-half profiles - Dan Carter
Despite his reputation as one of the best fly-halves around, Dan Carter is yet to make a lasting impact on a World Cup. Boasting creativity and bravery in equal measure, he will be hoping 2011 is his year at the upcoming tournament in New Zealand.
Early life:
Carter was born on 5 March 1982 in Southbridge, a small town in the South Island of New Zealand, to Neville and Bev Carter., and was playing with Southbridge Rugby Club since 5 years old as a scrum half. He attended Ellesmere College and Christchurch Boys High School. Dan has one older sister, Sarah. He has admitted to being a shy and quiet young man who kept grand aspirations to himself. His great uncle was Canterbury and All Black half back William(Bill) Dalley. Bill Dalley was a member of the 1924–25 Invincibles All Black Team to Great Britain and later was a prominent Canterbury rugby administrator.

2011 Rugby World Cup Schedule & Images

Host nation:      New Zealand
Dates:     9 September – 23 October
No. of nations:     20 (91 qualifying)
Tournament statistics
Matches played:     44
Attendance:     1,244,484 (28,284 per match)
Top scorer(s) :    South Africa Morné Steyn (62)
Most tries:     England Chris Ashton

The 2011 Rugby World Cup is the seventh Rugby World Cup, a quadrennial international rugby union competition inaugurated in 1987. The International Rugby Board (IRB) selected New Zealand as the host country in preference to Japan and South Africa at a meeting in Dublin on 17 November 2005. The IRB Council eliminated South Africa in the first of two rounds of voting.
It is the largest sporting event ever held in New Zealand, eclipsing the 1987 Rugby World Cup, 1990 Commonwealth Games, 1992 Cricket World Cup and the 2003 America's Cup. The organisers expect 95,000 visitors from overseas to travel to New Zealand for the event.
The schedule of games runs over six weeks starting on 9 September 2011. The final will be played on Sunday 23 October 2011, a date chosen because it falls on a long weekend caused by the New Zealand public holiday of Labour Day (Monday, 24 October 2011). The final is scheduled to be played in Auckland at Eden Park.
After speculation that the number of participating teams would be reduced to 16, the IRB announced on 30 November 2007 that the 2011 tournament would again feature 20 teams. Twelve teams qualified as a result of finishing in the top three in each pool in the 2007 tournament. The remaining eight berths were determined by regional qualifying tournaments. Of the 20 countries that competed in the previous World Cup in 2007, there was only one change – Russia replaced Portugal.
South Africa was the defending champion, but was eliminated by Australia 11–9 in the quarter-finals.

Competitor for the USA
Andre Kirk Agassi (pronounced /ˈɑːndreɪ ˈæɡəsi/) (born April 29, 1970) is a retired American professional tennis player and former World No. 1. Generally considered by critics and fellow players to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time, Agassi has been called the best service returner in the history of the game. Described by the BBC upon his retirement as "perhaps the biggest worldwide star in the sport's history", Agassi's performances, along with his unorthodox apparel and attitude, have seen him cited as one of the most charismatic players in the history of the game, and credited for helping revive the popularity of tennis during the 1990s.
Agassi is an eight-time Grand Slam singles champion who competed in fifteen Grand Slam finals, and an Olympic gold medalist. A multi-surface specialist, he is the first of two male players in history to have achieved a singles Career Golden Slam, and one of four male players to have achieved a singles Career Grand Slam in the Open Era (one of seven in history). He was the first male player to win all four Grand Slams on three different surfaces (hard, clay and grass), and is the last American male to win the French Open (1999)[15] and the Australian Open (2003). Agassi also won seventeen ATP Masters Series titles, won the 1990 ATP Tour World Championships and was part of a winning Davis Cup team in 1990 and 1992. He is the only male singles player in history to have won all four Grand Slam tournaments, the Olympic gold medal and the ATP Tour World Championships: a distinction dubbed as a "Career Super Slam" by Sports Illustrated.

After suffering from sciatica caused by two bulging discs in his back, a spondylolisthesis (vertebral displacement) and a bone spur that interfered with the nerve, Agassi retired from professional tennis on September 3, 2006, after losing in the third round of the US Open. He is the founder of the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, which has raised over $60 million for at-risk children in Southern Nevada. In 2001, the Foundation opened the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy in Las Vegas, a K-12 public charter school for at-risk children.
Agassi resides in Las Vegas, Nevada with his wife, retired professional tennis player Steffi Graf, and their two children.

Robson De Souza Robinho Profile & Images

    Squad No: 10
    Position: Forward
    Age: 27
    Birth Date: Jan 25, 1984
    Birth Place: São Vicente, Brazil
    Height: 5' 9'' (1.75m)
    Weight: 60 kg
Profile:
First noticed during indoor games, when scoring 73 goals in one season, his arrival at Santos as a kid drew inevitable comparisons with the great Pele, but Robinho has failed to live up to high expectations during his career.
The brash, scrawny and talented midfielder played an undisputable starring role in the Santos team that ended winning their national championship after an 18-year drought and, as expected, the offers from Europe started pouring in after his mother was held hostage by Brazilian kidnappers in 2005.
Real Madrid swooped, but even though he won two Liga titles, he never seemed to be at ease at the Bernabeu and left after three seasons having made his name on the international stage at the 2007 Copa America.
After a lengthy transfer saga, he was sold to Manchester City, who paid a British transfer record of £32.4 million, but at the club he failed to settle and chose prove his credentials back in Brazil with a loan move to Santos. Ultimately, his English adventure over, he chose to move to AC Milan in August 2010.
Strengths: Skilful and attack-minded, he can make all the difference for his team when he has the ball. The famous "pedalo" is one of his trademark moves.
Weaknesses: He can lose focus very easily and his concentration levels are poor. Work-rate is not his strong point and he doesn't bother to defend much.
Career high: His performances during 2007 Copa America earned him worldwide praise.
Career low: His first season at Real Madrid, where he rarely featured. Or a similarly poor spell with Manchester City.
Style: Controlled, skilled, fast, he has some of the quickest feet in the game.
Quotes: ''Kaka has always spoken to me very well about Milan and now I know that the Brazilian players in the team will give me a great hand in adapting to the team. I will work very hard to make the fans very happy. I want to bring so much joy to them.'' Robinho, on signing for AC Milan.
Trivia: He has an intense love-hate relationship with Pelé. The legend praised him heavily when he played for Santos, but then criticised his hasty transfer out of Real Madrid, and even involved him in a drug scandal. Robinho threatened to sue him.
