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...
UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE : SATURDAY 16/11/2024
IT WAS A 0 – 0 DRAW AT THE TURKEY VS WALES MATCH YESTERDAY (16/11/2024), BUT MUCH ACTION NEVERTHELESS, WITH 25 SHOTS AND 3 ON TARGET FOR TURKEY, AND 4 SHOTS WITH 1 ON TARGET FOR WALES, WITH 551 PASSES FOR TURKEY, AND 329 PASSES FOR WALES, AND MORE THAN A LITTLE ARGEY-BARGEY WITH BOTH SIDES SEEMINGLY DOING WHATEVER THEY COULD TO REACH THE BACK OF THE NET! 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

SCOTLAND MUST BE FEELING HAPPY TODAY FOLLOWING THEIR EXCITING MATCH AGAINST CROATIA LAST NIGHT, WHERE THERE WAS MUCH ACTION THROUGHOUT IN A VERY PHYSICAL MATCH INDEED. PETER SUCIC WAS HANDED A RED CARD BEFORE HALF-TIME, AFTER A FOUL ON BILLY GILMOUR EARLY IN THE MATCH EARNT HIM A YELLOW CARD, AND THEN, AGAIN, FOR MORE ARGEY-BARGEY WITH JOHN SOUTTAR, FOR WHICH HE RECEIVED THE RED, SO CROATIA WENT DOWN TO 10 MEN. (CUE AN ANGRY MODRIC WHO HAD WORDS WITH THE REF!) THERE WAS MUCH MORE DRAMA THROUGHOUT, WITH CROATIA HAVING 12 SHOTS, WITH 4 ON TARGET, AND SCOTLAND 8 SHOTS, WITH 2 ON TARGET, WITH THE SKILLS OF BOTH SCOTLAND’S GOALKEEPER CRAIG GORDON, AND CROATIA’S GOALY DOMINIK KOTARSKI EXTREMELY APPARENT, AND IT WASN’T UNTIL THE 86TH MINUTE THAT A GOAL FROM EITHER TEAM REACHED T...
WOMEN’S SUPER LEAGUE : SATURDAY – 16/11/2024

AND WITH SO MUCH QUALITY ON BOTH SIDES, IT TOOK UNTIL THE 75TH MINUTE FOR A BREAK-THROUGH WHEN MAYRA RAMIREZ SCORED A STUNNER, FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTERWARDS BY ANOTHER CRACKER FROM HER TEAM-MATE GURO REITEN AT 79 MINS., MEANING THAT THE MATCH CULMINATED IN A 2 – 0 WIN TO CHELSEA, SENDING THEM TO THE TOP OF THE WOMEN’S SUPER LEAGUE!

GREAT ATTEMPTS ON BOTH SIDES ENSUED, WITH THE SKILLS OF BOTH GOALKEEPERS BECOMING INCREASINGLY APPARENT, BUT THEN MAN CITY RELEASED SOME MAGIC! CHECK THIS OUT FROM ERLING HAALAND! MANY CONGRATULATUIONS TO NEWCASTLE, WHO PUT UP SUCH A VALIANT FIGHT AGAINST THEM. THIS EXCITING MATCH CULMINATED IN A 2 – 0 WIN TO MAN CITY!

EUROS 2024 – 20/06/2024 (PHOTO – HARRY KANE AND KIERAN TRIPPIER CELEBRATE HARRY’S GOAL)
ANOTHER LOOK BACK AT WHEN HARRY KANE SCORED FOR ENGLAND DURING THE EUROS IN THE DENMARK VS ENGLAND MATCH…. 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...
