Using two simple and robust inputs to constrain the mixing matrix of the isosinglet scalar mesons f{sub 0}(1710), f{sub 0}(1500), f{sub 0}(1370), we have shown that in the SU(3) symmetry limit, f{sub 0}(1500) becomes apure SU(3) octet and is degenerate with a{sub 0}(1450), while f{sub 0}(1370) is mainly an SU(3) singlet with a slight mixing with the scalar glueball which is the primary component of f{sub 0}(1710). These features remain essentially unchanged even when SU(3) breaking is taken into account. We have deduced the mass of the pseudoscalar glueball G from an {eta}-{eta}{sup '}-G mixing formalism based on the anomalous Ward identity for transition matrix elements. With the inputs from the recent KLOE experiment, we found a solution for the pseudoscalar glueball mass around (1.4{+-}0.1) GeV. This affirms that 77 (1405), having a large production rate in the radiative J/{Psi} decay and not seen in {gamma}{gamma} reactions, is indeed a leading candidate for the pseudoscalar glueball. It is much lower than the results from quenched lattice QCD (> 2.0 GeV).
