Euro Under 21 finals

The old enemy looms. Stuart Pearce rejigged his side for the last qualifying match and a 1-1 was the result. At half time in the semi-finals England looked to be cruising but defensive frailties let the swedes back and it went to penalties. The form book points clearly to an English victory. But old ghosts may be difficult to lay and the germans will be confident after their win against Italy. It should be a 2-0 to England which is 9/1 but 0-0 after 90 minutes is also an attractive 4/1.

Wimbledon fashionistas - Rafael Nadal, the cool white dude

Euro 2008 semi finals - Turkey you were a delight

The Turks were brave and sharp in the Euro 2008 semi final but somehow they passed their luck on to the Germans. They flattered and they passed and they played with commitment around German footballers who could have been totem poles stuck in the ground - especially the two central defenders who had more beard than brawn or brains. Although the Germans go forward this game as did the Dutch trouncing of Italy and France has probably marked a new era of free flowing attack minded football with high tempo attacking, exuberance and skill. For which thank you Turkey. Thank you Fatih Terim

Wimbledon fashionistas - Serena Williams and the housecoat

Wimbledon Centre Court - Serena Williams shows off her new all weather tennis protection in the shape of a slip on slip off raincoat. But when it comes down to the real business on court off it comes to reveal a tight little mini dress and an awesome forehand drive.

Wimbledon fashionista - Roger Federer cardigan chic

Wimbledon Centre Court - the new look Roger Federer, no blazer instead the perfect cardigan in case of a chill, ideal for the yacht and Great Gatsby parties. He almost looks ready for a pipe and slippers, although perhaps only Rafael Nadal can send him on his way to retirement unless Novak Djokovic's conqueror 28 year old Marat Safin has more than one big game in his tank

Wimbledon fashionistas - Maria Sharapova

Golf - great swing from Momoko

Sheer Khan

Soccer mudness

With all the fuss over the Euro 2008 you could be forgiven perhaps for overlooking the annual Swamp Soccer World Championship taking place at Strachur, Argyll. The fat bastard is actually comedian Rory McGrath in action of a sort. The swan-like lass in the goal is only credited as a competitor, although she has a certain something about her. The result was...a bit of a mess. As the Glasgow Mail put it they were all up Mud For It and lamented the fact that Scotland has never hosted a Euro or a World Cup, poor chaps, albeit maybe they shoukld ask the penniless traders in Switzerland and Austria how they fared before processing their applications. You can keep up to date over the weekend at their web site at http://www.swampsoccer.co.uk/ but sadly entries are now closed
