WE HAVE PLEASURE IN PRESENTING SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION AHEAD OF THE SPANISH GRAND PRIX, ACCORDING TO FORMULA TODAY
WHAT A FABULOUS RACE IN BARCELONA, SPAIN, WHERE THE WEATHER WAS BRIGHT AND SUNNY, BUT WITH CLOUDS IN THE DISTANCE, RAIN WAS EXPECTED. HAPPILY THOUGH, THE ONLY APPARENT MOISTURE CAME FROM THE INSIDE OF GEORGE’S RACING HELMET!! MAX, GEORGE AND LEWIS ON THE PODIUM THIS MADE FOR A QUICK, UNIMPEDED RACE, WHERE ALL WERE ABLE TO ‘PUT THE PEDDLE TO THE METAL’, AND SHOW US JUST HOW FAST THEY COULD GO! MAX VERSTAPPEN CAME FIRST IN 1:27:57.942, LEWIS HAMILTON SECOND (+24.090s), AND GEORGE RUSSELL THIRD, (+32.389s), MAKING IT A MERCEDES TWO-THREE! THOSE MERCEDES UPGRADES DEFINITELY SEEM TO BE WORKING! LEWIS, MAX AND GEORGE ON THE PODIUM WITH MAX PROUDLY DISPLAYING HIS TROPHY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SPANISH GRAND PRIX 2023 PLUS, IT WAS ‘SUPERSTARS GALORE’ FOR MARTIN BRUNDLE...
IT WAS GREAT SHAKES IN THE FIRST-HALF BETWEEN DENMARK VS ENGLAND YESTERDAY, WITH HARRY KANE SCORING AN ABSOLUTE BEAUTY AT 18 MINS., AND THE DANISH TEAM PROVING JUST HOW FEISTY THEY WERE WITH AN UNEXPECTED LONG-RANGE GOAL FROM MORTEN HJULMAND AT 34 MINS. BUT IN THE SECOND-HALF ENGLAND LOOKED A LITTLE TIRED, AND ALTHOUGH THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 28 EXCITING FURTHER SHOTS DURING THE MATCH, WITH 12 SHOTS ON TARGET, (BETWEEN BOTH TEAMS), NOTHING ACTUALLY REACHED THE BACK OF THE NET. (BUT LOT’S OF ACTION TO FEAST YOUR EYE’S UPON NEVERTHELESS!) IT MUST BE HARD TO CONSISTENTLY PLAY AT THE TOP OF YOUR GAME, REST, TRAIN AND REPEAT! FATIGUE IS BOUND TO SET IN EVENTUALLY (NO MATTER HOW MUCH PICKLE JUICE ONE DRINKS!) BUT THERE IS STILL A LONG WAY TO GO – AND UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE ENGLAND...
IT WAS ALBANIA WHO STARTED THE CROATIA VS ALBANIA MATCH YESTERDAY, WITH A SUPERB GOAL FROM QAZIM LACI AT JUST 11 MINS. INTO THE MATCH, WITH AN EXHUBERANCE OF ACTION ENSUING, WITH 22 SHOTS FOR CROATIA, AND 10 SHOTS ON TARGET, INCLUDING ANDREJ KRAMARIC’S SUPERB GOAL AT 74 MINS. AND A FURTHER 15 SHOTS, INCLUDING 7 SHOTS ON TARGET WITH AN EXCITING LATE FINISHER FROM ALBANIA’S KLAUS GJASULA AT 90 +5 MINS., (SLIGHTLY EARLIER, AN OWN GOAL FROM GJASULA, MEANT THAT CROATIA WERE 2 – 1 UP AND ONTO A WINNER! BUT GJASULA EARNT HIMSELF REDEMPTION WITH THE UNEXPECTED STOPPAGE-TIME GOAL SENDING THE ALBANIA FANS WILD IN THE PROCESS.) THIS EXCITING MATCH RESULTED IN A 2 – 2 DRAW. IT WAS EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT STUFF RIGHT TO THE LAST! ALBANIA WILL NOW PLAY SPAIN ON MONDAY 24 JUNE AT 20....
THE ENGLAND SQUAD TRAIN LIVE BEFORE THEIR DENMARK MATCH TOMORROW! AND THEY LOOK FIT, WELL PREPARED, AND READY TO ROCK-‘N-ROLL!  ENGLAND IN-TRAINING BEFORE DENMARK MATCH TOMORROW
EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE CRISTIANO RONALDO WHO WON THE DAY IN THE PORTUGAL VS CZECH REPUBLIC MATCH LAST NIGHT, BEING HIS SIXTH HISTORIC APPEARANCE AT THE EUROS N’ALL. BUT FOLLOWING SEVERAL GREAT ATTEMPTS (AND SOME EXTREMELY FANCY FOOTWORK), HE SOMEHOW COULDN’T REACH THE BACK OF THE NET. iT WAS CZECHIA’S LUKAS PROVOD WHO SCORED THE FIRST GOAL OF THE MATCH AT 62 MINS., FOLLOWED BY AN UNFORTUNATE OWN GOAL FOR CZECH’S ROBIN HRANAC AT 69 MINS., AND THEN WITH A BOLT FROM THE BLUE, YOUNG FRANCISCO CONCEICAO’S (21 YRS) SCORED A MAGNIFICENT LATE GOAL AT 90 +2 MINS., CULMINATING IN A 2 – 1 WIN TO PORTUGAL IN A THRILLING MATCH! PORTUGAL WILL NOW PLAY TURKEY ON SATURDAY 22 JUNE AT 17.00, AND THE CZECH REPUBLIC WILL PLAY GEORGIA ON THE SAME DAY AT 14.00. EUROS 2...
THE SERBIA VS ENGLAND MATCH YESTERDAY, WAS BOTH DYNAMIC AND NERVE-WRACKING IN EQUAL MEASURES! IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A TOUGH GIG, WITH THE SERBIAN TEAM AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME. HOWEVER, JUDE BELLINGHAM SCORED THE MOST FANTASTIC HEADER AT JUST 13 MINS. INTO THE MATCH, AFTER AN ASSIST FROM SAKA, WHO LOOKED LIKE HE WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDING TO FIND HARRY KANE, WHO WAS JUST IN THE WRONG POSITION AT THAT MOMENT, SO JUDE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY AND SPRUNG FORWARD, MAKING SURE THAT BALL WAS GOING NOWHERE BUT IN THE BACK OF THE NET! JUST LISTEN TO THE CHEERS FROM THE ENGLAND FANS AFTERWARDS! WITH TIPPETY-TOP TEAMS LIKE THIS, SOMETIMES YOU MAY NOT EXPECT TOO MANY FURTHER SHOTS, LET ALONE, ON-TARGET, AND YOU’D BE RIGHT, BECAUSE EVERYONE KNEW WHO TO MARK, AND ALL WERE BRILLIANT IN DEFENSE. BUT...

IF YOU MISSED THE EXCITING ITALY VS ALBANIA MATCH YESTERDAY – NOW’S YOUR CHANCE! IT WAS ACTION FROM THE OFF WITH ALBANIA’S NEDIM BAJRAMI SCORING AT 23 SECONDS INTO THE MATCH (WHICH IS THE FASTEST GOAL IN EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY), MUCH TO THE JUBILATION OF THEIR FANS, (CUE A CHEEKY BAJRAMI CROWDSURF), WHICH MUST HAVE PUT THE ITALIAN SQUAD’S TAILS UP (THEY DID LOOK A BIT SHOCKED), BECAUSE ALESSANDRO BASTONI SCORED A STUNNER SHORTLY AFTERWARDS AT 11 MINS., AND THEN CAME ANOTHER SCREAMER FROM NICOLO BARELLA AT 16 MINS! AND ALTHOUGH NO-ONE REACHED THE BACK OF THE NET AFTER THAT, THERE WERE A FURTHER 17 SHOTS FOR ITALY WITH 5 SHOTS ON TARGET, AND ANOTHER 8 SHOTS FOR ALBANIA, WITH ONE SHOT ON TARGET! SO LOT’S OF DRAMA TO ENJOY! THE MATCH CULMINATED IN A 2 ̵...
WE HAVE PLEASURE IN PRESENTING THE EXCITING MATCH BETWEEN ENGLAND VS SWEDEN FROM (05/04/2024), WHERE ENGLAND’S ALESSIA RUSSO SCORED A STUNNING HEADER AT ONLY 24 MINS. INTO THE GAME, AFTER A SUPERB PASS FROM LAUREN JAMES. ALESSIA HAD EARLIER NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION, FROM AN INJURY TO HER ANKLE AT 6 MINS. AFTER A LATE TACKLE, BUT HAD PLOUGHED ON INTO THE GAME LIKE THE LIONESS THAT SHE IS! IT WASN’T UNTIL THE SECOND HALF THAT SWEDEN EQUALISED, WITH A HEADER FROM FRIDOLINA ROLFO IN AT THE BACK POST. THERE WERE A FEW CHANCES IN THE SECOND-HALF FOR BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE AGAIN, WITH A GREAT TRY BY THE QUICK-THINKING HEMP, FOLLOWING A PREVIOUS ONE BY WALSH, AND AN EQUALLY SKILFUL ATTEMPT BY SWEDEN’S BLACKSTENIUS (WHO YOU WOULD LIKE TO CALL A ‘MENACE’ IF SHE DIDN’...
MORE EXCITEMENT FROM THIS AFTERNOON INCLUDED THIS MATCH BETWEEN SPAIN VS CROATIA, WHERE THREE STUNNING GOALS FROM SPAIN’S ALVARO MURATA AT 29 MINS., FABIAN RUIZ AT 32 MINS., AND DANI CARVAJAL AT 45 +2 MINS. RESULTED IN A 3 – 0 WIN TO SPAIN! EUROS 2024: SPAIN VS CROATIA -15/06/2024
CHECK OUT THIS EXCITING MATCH FROM THE EUROS THIS AFTERNOON, WITH THIS FOUR-GOAL-THRILLER WHICH WAS PACKED FULL OF ACTION! SWITZERLAND’S KWADWO DUAH GOT THE BALL ROLLING, REACHING THE BACK OF THE NET AT 12 MINS. WITH HIS TEAM-MATE MICHEL AEBISCHER SCORING JUST BEFORE HALF-TIME AT 45 MINS. THEN IT WAS HUNGARY’S BARNABAS VARGA’S TURN TO SCORE AT 66 MINS., WITH SWITZERLAND’S BREEL EMBOLO SCORING A LATE FINISHER AT 90 +3 MINS., ALL CULMINATING IN A 3 – 1 WIN TO SWITZERLAND! EUROS 2024:Â HUNGARY VS SWITZERLAND – 15/06/2024 STAY TUNED FOR SPAIN VS CROATIA…!
