Greetings fellow men in the stand. As the average man in the stand I watch a fair bit of sport and like to think I am up to date and aware of most major sports events / occasions that occur in the United Kingdom. Presently we are in the early days at Wimbledon, at the end of a cricket series (Eng v NZ) and of course the business end of the European Football Championships.
I thought I would use this blog as a forum to voice my thoughts and opinions on sports events and happenings. For example, I think that Germany will win the European Football Champs. I appreciate everyone is bleating on about Spain and I actually drew Spain in my office draw but deep down I think ze Germans will do the business. I also think that they will be playing Russia in the final.
As for the tennis, if Roger F does not win Wimbledon again I will put large amounts of ketchup on my hat and eat it. He is the king of SW19 and I also think Nadal will not actually make the final. Yes, I hear you say he won the French etc but he cannot sustain it and will go at the semis if not beforehand.
Lastly, the cricket. The word to describe the English performance in Bristol on Saturday is choke. There are only two world class players in that team, KP and Colly. The rest are untested and unproven. I think the Oval tomorrow will see the Kiwis take the game as the momenteum is with them. Big Jed Oram is back and the kiwis have a spring in their step after the Bristol choke. Ross Taylor and Bazz McCullum have yet to get going and a flat deck at the Oval could spell danger for Collys crew.
Right, now I have got that of my chest I will wait and see if my theories are proved correct over the next few days. Any feedback or comments are appreciated.
