england beat croatia 4-1 in world cup qualifier

Woo Hoot. That's all I have to say about that!

my NEW euro 2008 prediction

...... I guess my first prediction went down the toilet when Russia knocked the Netherlands out. I did say to my hubby that whoever won out of that game would probably win the whole thing. But apparently I am not too good at this.

My Dad sms'd me last night and said 'I needed a new prediction' Thanks Dad ;)

So my new Euro 2008 prediction is Russia. My Dad thinks Turkey, so we will see who is the greatest predictor of them all!

ps I am so glad Italy got knocked out by Spain. Mwah ha ha ha!

my euro 2008 prediction....

.....is that the Netherlands will win it!

beckham scores from 60 yards - wow

this footballer has talent - he is awesome!

This guy was on American's Got Talent, he is so good, but there is a better video which I have linked to at the bottom as I couldn't embed it! Check it out!



You HAVE to check this out. WOW

a beckham beauty

bend it like beckham

Last night SP and I went to see the game - it was pretty good and full of action. Eight goals were scored in all which doesn't happen very often in football, it made the game exciting and interesting.

There was of course a Beckham special, a free kick from 25m bent right into the top left hand corner of the net = special indeed!

Sydney FC played well, knocking three goals in in the first half, Beckham scoring the first goal for the Galaxy a minute before half time. The second half had more goals, a few rough and tumbles, a sending off and for some reason only nine men playing for the Galaxy at the end instead of ten, I couldn't quite work that out, as they only had one sending off?!?!? Anyone else know the answer to that one?

Two more goals for Sydney and one more goal for Galaxy leaving Sydney with a comfortable win!

Our seats weren't too bad to watch the action but we were not close enough to get great pictures - I had my 300m lens on so managed to get some - I will post these up later as we didn't get home until midnight...

Australian Idol singer Natalie Gauchi sang her new single 'Here I Am' too which was a nice surprise.

All in all it was a top night with just over 80,000 people out to see the big game! What a crowd! I think this has done great things for the sport over here in Oz!

la galaxy v sydney fc tonight

So tonight is the night, I booked tickets months ago and it is finally here - I get to go and see Beckham do what he does best - play football (it's not soccer!) and look good.

LA Galaxy V Sydney FC - but who do I go for?

Sydney FC - as that is where I now live?

LA Galaxy - I am not American but I have some family who is (when I was little I thought that made me a teeny bit American, but it didn't). Beckham plays for England, I am English and therefore support England, (although given they just got knocked out of Euro 08 I am a little hesitant in admitting it?)

Anyhoo, I can't wait it will be my first ever big football match, unless you count all the games I use to go to when my Dad played - he was a pretty good player, but I don't know that he was as good as my Gan-Gan (Grand-dad for normal people!) He played and tried out for Charlton Athletic and also got a game for them, but that was when the game was lot different to what it is now..

I have my super zoom lens at the ready so providing we are not in the nose bleed stands, I might get a few good pics!
