UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE : TUESDAY – 19/11/2024 (PHOTO – LIAM CULLEN CELEBRATES SCORING A BRACE!)
WHAT EXCITEMENT AT THE WALES VS ICELAND MATCH YESTERDAY – AND CERTAINLY A FANTASTIC RESULT FOR WALES! ICELAND’S ANDRI GUOJOHNSEN GOT THE BALL ROLLING AT JUST 7 MINS. INTO THE MATCH, WITH A CRACKING GOAL, AND THEN IT WAS OVER TO WALES’ LIAM CULLEN TO SCORE A BRILLIANT BRACE AT 43 MINS. AND 45 +1 MIN., SO IT WAS 2 – 1 AT HALF-TIME! LOTS MORE ACTION ENSUED IN THE SECOND-HALF, AND IN TOTAL, THERE WERE 10 SHOTS ON TARGET FOR WALES, AND 5 FOR ICELAND, WITH WALES HAVING 496 PASSES, AND ICELAND 314, AND THEN, IN THE 65TH MINUTE BRENNAN JOHNSON SCORED A BLINDER, FOLLOWED BY A STUNNING FINISHER FROM HARRY WILSON AT 79 MINS., MEANING THAT THIS DYNAMIC FIVE-GOAL-THRILLER ENDED IN A 4 – 1 WIN TO WALES!

ANOTHER LOOK AT THE SPECTACULAR PARIS OLYMPICS CLOSING CEREMONY!
AFTER 16 DAYS OF SPECTACULAR SPORT, THE PARIS OLYMPICS CLOSING CEREMONY WAS EQUALLY SPECTACULAR, WITH EXQUISITE SURREALISM AND BREATHTAKING MUSIC, WITH THE SOMEWHAT SAD IDEA, THAT WHEN ALL IS LOST, A GOLDEN CREATURE FROM THE FUTURE COMES DOWN TO EARTH, AND RESURRECTS THE IDEA OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES. (WHICH SHOULD MAKE US ALL PAUSE FOR THOUGHT!) AND THEN AN APPEARANCE FROM TOM CRUISE, LOOKING EVERY BIT LIKE HIS MISSION IMPOSSIBLE PERSONA, ALL BOUND TOGETHER WITH THE THOUGHTFUL WORDS OF IOC PRESIDENT THOMAS BACH (ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO LISTEN TO.) WE WERE MESMERISED FROM START TO FINISH! MANY CONGRATULATIONS ON A MOST SUCCESSFUL OLYMPIC GAMES AND CLOSING CEREMONY PARIS!

RUGBY WORLD CUP 2023: ENGLAND VS FIJI – 15/10/2023 (PHOTO – OWEN FARRELL)
ANOTHER LOOK AT THE FANTASTIC RUGBY MATCH BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FIJI ON 15/10/2023 WITH TRIES BY TUILAGI, AND MARCHANT FOR ENGLAND, AND THEN FARRELL MORE OR LESS SWEEPING THE BOARD WITH HIS CONVERSIONS, PENALTIES AND DROP GOALS (SEVEN IN TOTAL!) FIJI WERE NO WALK-OVER THOUGH, WITH TRIES BY MATA, RAVAI, AND BOTITU, CONVERSIONS BY LOMANI AND KURUVOLI (WHO WAS LITERALLY ALL-OVER-THE-PLACE), AND LOMANI’S PENALTY. AT ONE POINT, LATE INTO THE GAME IT WAS NECK AND NECK – 24 – 24. BUT SOME QUICK-THINKING AND EXPERT TEAM-PLAY BY ENGLAND CUT FIJI OFF AND ALLOWED ENGLAND TO TRIUMPH IN WHAT WAS A GAME OF ENORMOUS PHYSICALITY, EXCITEMENT, AND MUCH-AFFORDED RESPECT TO SUCH WORTHY ADVERSARIES.

UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE : ENGLAND VS REPUBLIC OF IRELAND – 17/11/2024 (PHOTO – HARRY KANE SCORES)
WHAT A NIGHT FOR ENGLAND LAST NIGHT, WHERE THEY SMASHED IRELAND IN A FIVE-GOAL-THRILLER! IRELAND PLAYED WELL IN THE FIRST-HALF, AND WERE SEEMINGLY VERY WELL-ORGANISED, AND QUITE TOUGH FOR ENGLAND TO BREAK DOWN, AND INDEED, IT WAS STILL 0 – 0 AT HALF-TIME! BUT IN THE SECOND-HALF AT 51 MINS. IRELAND’S LIAM SCALES’ SECOND YELLOW CARD CAUGHT UP WITH HIM AFTER AN OBVIOUS FOUL ON JUDE BELLINGHAM, AND HE WAS RED-CARDED AND SENT OFF. (BY THE LOOK ON THE REF’S FACE, HE DIDN’T RELISH DOING IT!) CUE A POLISHED PENALTY FROM HARRY KANE FROM THE SPOT, WHO, WITH A LITTLE “SOFT-SHOE SHUFFLE” MANAGED TO SEND IRELAND’S CAOIMHIN KELLEHER IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, HITTING THE BACK OF THE NET EASILY, AS IS HIS WANT, FROM SUCH A DISTANCE.

WE HAVE PLEASURE IN PRESENTING SOME OF THE EXCITING UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE ACTION FROM YESTERDAY INCLUDING THIS MATCH BETWEEN POLAND VS SCOTLAND, WHERE SCOTLAND’S JOHN MCGINN WAS THE STAR OF THE SHOW YET AGAIN AFTER SCORING AT ONLY 3 MINS. INTO THE MATCH, AND WITH POLAND’S KAMIL PIATKOWSKI EQUALISING LATER IN THE MATCH AT 59 MINS., IT WAS ALL-SQUARE, UNTIL EXTRA TIME AT 90 +3 MINS. WHEN SCOTLAND’S ANDREW ROBERTSON SCORED THE LATE DECIDER, MEANING THAT THIS EXCITING MATCH CULMINATED IN A 2 – 1 WIN TO SCOTLAND!

UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE : THURSDAY 14/11/2024 (PHOTO – CURTIS JONES ‘JUMPS FOR JOY’ AFTER HIS INCREDIBLE DEBUT BACKHEEL!)
IT WAS CERTAINLY A GAMBLE FOR LEE CARSLEY LAST NIGHT, AND HAD MANY SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS AS TO WHY HE WOULD CHOOSE TO LEAVE HARRY KANE ON THE BENCH, AND INSTEAD FIELD A TEAM FULL OF YOUNG STARS FOR SUCH AN IMPORTANT MATCH. (AS THE THREE LIONS KNEW A WIN BY TWO GOALS MEANT THEY WOULD TAKE CONTROL OF GROUP B2.) BUT THOSE FEARS WERE SOON ALLAYED WITHIN THE FIRST TEN MINUTES (6 MINS. 22 SECS TO BE EXACT), WHEN OLLIE WATKINS HIT THE BACK OF THE NET WITH SOME GUSTO, AFTER SUPERB PASSING FROM BELLINGHAM, TO MADUEKE, WHO COULD SEE THAT OLLIE WATKINS WAS IN EXACTLY THE RIGHT SPOT AT THE RIGHT TIME. MUCH TO THE BEMUSEMENT OF THE MOSTLY-GREEK CROWD! (OR THE REF IT SEEMED, AS HE PROCEEDED TO HAND OUT YELLOW CARDS TO BELLINGHAM, GALLAGHER AND LATER, JORDAN PICKFORD, LIKE AN OVER-ZEALOUS CROUPIER!) JOR...

IN THE 89TH MINUTE, TURKEY’S STRIKER KEREM AKTURKOGLU MISSED A PENALTY, KEEPING WALES’ HOPES ALIVE OF PROMOTION TO THE NATIONS LEAGUE TOP TIER! UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE : TURKEY VS WALES 16/11/2024
