Ah. Right on cue, the Fifa farce returns with a vengeance to steal the Sportsday limelight...

News line #1: German judge Hans-Joachim Eckert tells the BBC that he is "surprised" by public criticism from Fifa counterpart Michael Garcia over the report on the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

Remember, Garcia - the man who wrote the report before it was compiled and published by Eckert - said the released version was "erroneous".

Wet and wild conditions forced the world's best golfers back into the clubhouse at the Turkish Open earlier, but the dark clouds have quickly disappeared...

European Tour:, external Players warming up. Play set to start again in 30 minutes.

Amazingly, given all the fun and games on Thursday, we haven't yet mentioned Fifa or the fall-out from that report, labelled 'a joke' by FA chairman Greg Dyke.

There was so much going on it was hard to make sense of it all.

Luckily for you, BBC Sport's Richard Conway has written a definitive account of what happened and what the latest situation is. You can read it here.

Time for today's #QSTeaser from our pals in the Question of Sport office - and it's a toughie.

Wayne Rooney's England debut came in a 3-1 defeat against Australia in 2003. But who were the four goalscorers?

See if you can rewind your mind to that miserable night at Upton Park and dig out the answers. No cheating. We'll reveal all later...

Equatorial Guinea has been confirmed as the new host country for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations finals, replacing Morocco.

The Confederation of African Football selected a new host for the 17 January to 8 February finals after rejecting Morocco's request to delay the event.

Morocco was against hosting the tournament because of fears over the Ebola outbreak elsewhere on the continent.

Australia have beaten South Africa by 32 runs in the first one-day international at the WACA in Perth.

South Africa could only manage 268 all out from 48.1 overs, in reply to Australia's 300 for 8.

European Tour:, external Officials monitoring the storm. Players informed an announcement will be made at 2pm local time.

Earlier we told you that a thunderstorm had stopped play in the Turkish Airlines Open (see 11:14). Those conditions would be classed as perfect for a quick knock in Salford...

Could Mazzarri's untimely demise lead to the return of an Inter hero? The Italian media are convinced it will - they think that Roberto Mancini is primed to make a stunning return to the San Siro.

Former Manchester City boss Mancini, who led Inter to three straight Scudettos between 2006 and 2008, is the hot favourite as he remains without a job since leaving Turkish side Galatasaray in the summer.

San Siro scarf sellers rejoice.

Italian giants Inter Milan announce they have sacked Walter Mazzarri as first team coach following a poor start to the Serie A season.

The Nerazzurri are down in ninth place after a mixed start, winning just four of their opening 11 games.

Former world light-heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly says he feels "reinvigorated" after moving up to cruiserweight level.

Cleverly lost his WBO light-heavyweight title to Sergey Kovalev in August 2013 and considered retirement after his first professional defeat.

The 27-year-old is unbeaten as a cruiserweight and will face rival Tony Bellew in Liverpool on 22 November,

"I feel physically and mentally better," Cleverly said.

Is Rooney is an England great or not? You lot are totally torn by this question. Keep your thoughts coming on Twitter, using #englandgreat or leave a message on the BBC Sport Facebook page or the Match of the Day Facebook page or Google +.

Toby Steed:, external One day, we might live in a world where England fans see past 1966...Of course Rooney is an England great, goal record says so.

Matthew Kavanagh:, external An England great is someone who's stepped up when it was needed in an important game/situation. No way is Rooney one.

DeathApeDisco:, external Rooney's a top player. Not an international great as no trophies, he'd get in an England XI of the last 40 years though.

World governing body Fifa has come under fire after its report into World Cup corruption was described as "erroneous" - by the man who investigated claims of wrongdoing.

Now Stoke striker Peter Crouch is the latest to take a pop - with his tongue firmly planted into his cheek.

"I knew there was problems with decision making at Fifa when I didn't make the Ballon d'Or shortlist," tweets the ex-England striker., external

BBC Sport's Chris McLaughlin: "The BBC has learned four men have been detained following Police Scotland's investigation into the acquisition of Rangers in 2012. It follows early morning raids at a number of addresses across the UK in conjunction with Surrey Police and Thames Valley Police.

"Police Scotland have been investigating the sale of the Ibrox club from Sir David Murray to Craig Whyte, in 2012, for over a year. It's understood Mr Whyte is not one of the four men who are in custody."

Doug Johnson, Barnsley: There is no debate. Anybody who knows anything about football will tell you Rooney is world class!

Chris Woods (55, soccer) - former Norwich, Rangers and England goalkeeper.

Keith Curle (51, soccer) - Carlisle manager and former England defender.

Bernard Hinault (60, cycling) - Frenchman who won the Tour de France five times between 1978 and 1985 to equal the records of Jacques Anquetil and Eddy Merckx.

If you think the weather is dismal here, it may be of some consolation to learn that it is even worse in Turkey.

So bad, in fact, that play at the $7 million Turkish Airlines Open has been suspended midway through the second round.

A huge thunderstorm forced the players off the course and organisers say it is unlikely the tournament will resume today.

Ian Poulter will be annoyed. He was in great form and, chasing his first victory of the season, leads the way on 13-under-par through 14 holes, three strokes ahead of Zimbabwean Brendon de Jonge.

Twenty-three members of England's 24-man squad are going through some sprinting drills at a rain-soaked St George's Park as they begin training ahead of tomorrow's Euro 2016 qualifier against Slovenia.

The missing man? West Ham attacking midfielder Stewart Downing. He picked up a slight knock on Thursday but is expected to be fit for Saturday's game.

Gary Ballance, who burst onto the Test scene last year, is also celebrating after being named the ICC Emerging Cricketer of the Year.

The 24-year-old made his Test debut in the final test of last summer's Ashes series and hit his first century against Sri Lanka earlier this year. After eight Test matches he has a mighty impressive batting average of more than 60.

England's wicketkeeper-batter Sarah Taylo won the ICC Women's ODI Cricketer of the Year award, while team-mate Katherine Brunt won the ICC Spirit of Cricket award for the moment when she ran out a South Africa batsman but wasn't sure if she had the ball in her hand.

The umpire gave it out, but Brunt rather sportingly asked for a referral and the decision was subsequently reversed

Simon, Leeds: If people are going to say that Rooney isn't world class because he hasn't performed at a Euros or World Cup then surely Messi and Ronaldo can't be world class either. Because neither of them have turned up for their countries at the highest level of all.

Mitchell Johnson, the man we love to give a bit of good-natured stick when he plays on these shores, has plenty to smile about today.

The Australia fast bowler, 33, has been named as winner of the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Cricketer of the Year, and the ICC Test Cricketer of the Year.

From August 2013 to September, Johnson claimed 59 Test wickets at an average of 15.23, with best bowling figures of seven for 40 runs against England in Adelaide last December (we won't dwell on that last fact). In ODIs, Johnson claimed 21 wickets in 16 games.

"Some of the greats of the game have been nominated and won this award, and it's a very special honour," said Johnson.
