Agony

So the story is, we're out...
I decided to take it upon myself to research the last time England won a penalty shoot-out.
It took me back to 1996. 16 Years ago since we last won a shoot-out!?
People will preach 'yeah well it's all about luck at shoot-outs', but if you're sole purpose in life was to play football, and you're in a game which has the possibility to go to shoot outs, you must practice them, surely?!
But then again, this time around you cannot blame anyone, which brings me to the next point of other ways to settle a game rather than a penalty shoot-out.
Sepp Blatter himself has put ideas such as Never-Ending Extra Time, or ADG (Attacker vs Defender and Goalkeeper, with 35 seconds to score a goal)
These seem just as pointless which question whether a replay could be brought into the equation?
But then again, what if its still a draw after another replay, and another?!
This will become more and more present after the introduction of Goal Line Technology.
Anyway i leave you with some heartbreak.

Hackney

This weekend provided the Hackney Weekend for Radio 1 and 1extra.
I am all for this 'festival' shall we call it, but it does show some form of perseverance leads to success, some of the worst areas in London being brought to life by a bit of companionship.
Jay-Z is headlining in the London Borough which 12 months ago was seiged by London Riots and theft, showing some sort of turn-around and that not all youths of today are hooligans.

FIN.

Euro Fever

EURO FEVER.
Any man across the country who doesn't watch England doesn't deserve the accolade 'man'
Seriously though can you preach for a man who doesn't watch football, yeah fair enough if you don't like the sport but it's all about the pride and the passion for following the English!
May i just point out, I've worn an England shirt for every game so far, WHERE IS THE PASSION?!
Not ONE other has shared this commitment. Disappointing.
Anyway, I leave you with my favourite player at the Euro's so far.

PEACE
