The YouTube chart: because it's almost the long weekend...

It was another week and an other week of sports online. We round up some of the best.

8. There’s missing the target  - Ronnie Rosenthal, Cherry Coke, not signing the Beatles –   and then there’s this failure in a local Brazilian soccer league.

Like a Tarantino film however, the highlight is the soundtrack. Listen for the laughter from the terraces.

7. How not to drive a golf cart 101: the buggy had to be removed as it hindered a golfer’s shot. Then this happens.

6. From the Guardian’s Classic YouTube round-up: “Gaelic football sides Kerry and Down play an exhibition match at Wembley in 1961. Worth watching for the commentary alone:  ’All the aggression of rugger, soccer and prize-fighting, but what the rules are, you’d have to ask an Irishman …‘”

5. Last night, Shaq announced his retirement from basketball. Where do you start with this guy? Here’s a collection of his top moment – check out more here.

4. We brought you this on Monday. Rookie star JR Hildebrand crashed coming out of the final turn to lose the Indianapolis 500.

It’s happened to the best of us.

3.This lad isn’t going to win any ‘father of the year’ awards – but he makes our list.

Given the Sophie’s-type choice of catching a foul ball at a baseball game or hanging safely onto your daughter, he quickly makes his decision. Now he has to live with it.

Kudos to the pundits, though, for – literally – highlighting that and the child’s understandable reaction.

2. We made a call this morning - we’re going to follow the NHL Finals. Last night the first game was settled – in favour of the Canucks – by this last-minute winner.

1. Before Kim Clijsters was dumped out of the French Open, she played this shot against Arantxa Rus in the second round. I hope she did a EuroMillions  €3 quickpick soon after.

What have we missed this week?
