Ukraine vs England - What Happened????

VS

Hello avid readers. Sorry for the lack of posts this week but i've been (and still am) pretty ill. Not great but there we are. Anyway, i've left the comfort of my bed in order to write a new post for you, so be grateful!!! The only problem is that it focuses on an abysmal weekend for English football, where one record came to an end, and an equally negative one was set. Lovely!

Last week, the very, very wise Wayne Rooney said he wanted England to go through to the world cup finals unbeaten... ha! This is England... it was never gonna happen and it didn't... Thanks Wayne.

The embarrasing 1-0 defeat in Ukraine also marked the start of a new English football record. Goalkeeper Robert Green, became the first keeper to be sent off for England. That's quite an honour Rob... cherise it...

Overall, just an awful, if not hilarious, weekend for English football. But, looking on the bright side, we've already qualified, so its not a major catastrophe after all!!!

Weekend Football Roundup

This weekend saw high scores, big games and red cards across the UK, with no shortage of excitement in any of the leagues.

Japanese Grand Prix

This weekend saw the Japanese Grand Prix, one of the final three races of the Formula 1 season, and it did not disappoint... for the most part.

The Saturday qualifying session was very exciting, with no less than three red flags disrupting the session. I have never seen a red flag in a qualifying session before and then three turn up at once... what a cliche! Eventually, Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel was on pole, with title rival Jensen Button suffering a grid penalty dropping him down to 10th place for the race.

Onto Sunday now, and despite the drivers seemingly forgeting that cars are meant for roads in qualifying, the race was a different kettle of fish altogether, with it being surprisingly quiet with only one major incident, resulting in a safety car towards the end of the race. This was a blessing in disguise for racing fans as it bunched up the cars and left the last three laps as essentially a race on their own, allowing for an entertaining end to a mediocre race.

The winner was pole sitter Sebastian Vettel, who led throughout, with Jensen Button coming home in 8th place.
