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!
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. HARRY KANE CELEBRATES AF...
A LITTLE LOOK BACK AT ALL THE SUPERB GOALS SCORED BY THE LIONESSES IN THEIR INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLIES IN OCTOBER! INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY – ENGLAND VS GERMANY – 25/10/2024 INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY – ENGLAND VS SOUTH AFRICA – 29/10/2024 INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY – ENGLAND VS SOUTH AFRICA : KEY MOMENTS – 29/10/2024
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...
