Canadian singer Alexis Normand says she's "embarrassed" after a video of her performing the United States national anthem without knowing the words went viral.

The jazz vocalist had been asked to sing before an ice hockey clash between the Halifax Mooseheads and the Portland Winterhawks.

Struggling through her performance, Normand could no longer remember the words by the third line, and only the crowd stepping in helped get through the rendition.

Players from the Winterhawks, a US-based side, made little attempt to conceal their amusement.

Normand tried to take the incident in good spirits,

World of Sport has brought you some amazing goals - but never one from 80 yards out.

Exclusively the domain of girls in Britain, lacrosse is a popular macho sport in American high schools and colleges - Stiffler from American Pie was a dab hand at it, as was his dopey mate Oz.

But WoS bets they never scored a goal like this.

Defenseman Stefan Bergman brought fame to La Salle College High School recently when, in a match against Haverford in the 2013 Katie Samson Lacrosse Festival, he unleashed hell from fully 80 yards out - almost behind his own goal, in fact.

The Haverford goalie didn't

The new England kit was revealed by Jack Wilshere on Twitter - but just moments after it appeared online it was being compared by fans to Germany's.

Most likened it to the classic 1966 kit that West Germany wore when they infamously lost 4-2 to England in the World Cup final.

Arsenal midfielder Wilshere had been the first to tweet an image (above) to the newest England kit, made by Nike for the first time and emblazoned with a logo to celebrate 150 years of the Football Association.

"Like this kid," Wilshere wrote, "my England dream began here, so he was first in #theshirt."

Arsenal are celebrating again after Arsene Wenger led the team to a strong end-of-season surge which saw them nab a Champions League place from Tottenham.

But should joy be unconfined at the Emirates? It is now eight years since Arsenal last won a trophy, and, as a result of Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement and David Moyes’s new job, a curious statistic has emerged.

Since Arsenal’s 2005 FA Cup victory – their last piece of silverware – EACH of the 91 other clubs in the Football League has now switched manager apart from the Gunners.

And of course the trophies have been shared out around

The end of the Premier League season on Sunday truly marked the end of an era. England's top flight will be a much changed place from next season with these five familiar faces departing the scene having illuminated the world's richest league.

Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United)

Quite simply the greatest manager in the history of football, and a founding father figure of the Premier League era. Ferguson enters United folklore having managed the Red Devils for a 1,500th and final time in the 5-5 draw at West Bromwich Albion. Ends his 27-year spell as United manager having collected 38

Sunderland defender Phil Bardsley has been dropped from the final match of the season after being photographed in a casino lying down – apparently passed out – while covered in £50 notes.

After Sunderland secured their Premier League status ahead of the finale against Tottenham, the defender was on a midweek gambling session with team-mate Matt Kilgallon, and seemed to be doing rather well for himself:

Bardsley appeared to enjoy his winnings a touch too enthusiastically though, and was pictured lying down before friends covered him in banknotes:

Newcastle chairman Mike Ashley

Mike Ashley will share out £1million between Newcastle's staff if the Magpies beat Arsenal – but the players will see none of it.

Ashley will hand the windfall to non-playing and coaching staff if Alan Pardew's men end a difficult season in style – with everyone from the tea lady to the kit man in line for a pay-out.

The Gunners arrive at St James' Park needing a victory to guarantee a top-four finish with north London rivals Tottenham, who face Sunderland at White Hart Lane, hot on their heels.

Newcastle secured their Premier League status with a 2-1 win at QPR last weekend, but desperately

Jose Mourinho did not show up for a press conference the day before the Copa del Rey final betweenReal Madrid and Atletico Madrid, so Sergio Ramos was left to field questions on his own.

A Brazilian journalist in attendance was not pleased with this development, so he took out his frustration on a picture of Mourinho after the press conference.

The reporter was filming a segment when he colleague pointed out a picture of Mourinho, whose move to Chelsea is virtually inevitable at this point. The man then ripped it to shreds and called the torn up picture an idiot. This is what Jose Mourinho
