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!

EUROS 2024 – 16/06/2024 (PHOTO – JUDE BELLINGHAM HEADS THE BALL INTO THE BACK OF THE NET)
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...
EUROS 2024: ITALY VS ALBANIA – 15/06/2024 (PHOTO – ITALY CELEBRATE)
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 ̵...

WELL, WELL, WELL, WHO WOULDA THUNK IT! TYSON FURY HAS LOST HIS WBC TITLE! ON AN EVENING WHICH WAS PACKED FULL TO THE RAFTERS WITH SPORTING ROYALTY, AT THE KINGDOM STADIUM IN SAUDI ARABIA, TYSON FURY AND OLEKSANDR USYK PUT ON A SPECTACLE OF SUCH MAGNITUDE THAT THE WHOLE WORLD WAS ENTHRALLED!

FURY’S LONG REACH CAUSED USYK A FEW PROBLEMS TO START WITH, UNTIL USYK ADJUSTED, SEEMINGLY REALISING THAT HE NEEDED TO BE REALLY QUICK. AT SOME POINTS IT LOOKED LIKE FURY WAS ENJOYING IT, AND STILL MESSING ...
