Will penalties be Englands failing at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa
May 31, 2010
England fans are clearly disappointed in the result yesterday when England took on Japan in their final pre World Cup friendly. The result may have gone England’s way (England won 2-1) but the fact that Japan had scored all the goals in game (including 2 own goals) soured the result. If this is how we play against a fairly mediocre team, who are currently placed 45 in the FIFA rankings system compared to England’s number 8 position.
Another major disappointment from the match was the failing of midfielder Frank Lampard to score from the spot. The Chelsea player was denied by Japan’s keeper Eiji Kawashima who saved the penalty that was awarded in the 10th minute of the second half following Keisuke Honda’s handball in the area. Whether Lampard will be the choice take penalties in the World Cup will be a decision England head coach Fabio Capello must seriously consider.

Spellbound are on of the early favourites for Britains Got Talent 2010
May 31, 2010
The fun part of ITV1s talent show Britain’s Got Talent has now finished and we no longer get to see the auditions of the criminally insane as the show now moves onto the live semi finals and gets a tad more serious. Last night the judges chose 40 acts from the 200 that they had given call back from the first round. Over the next five weeks the remaining acts will compete against each other and the winner from each of the 5 semi finals will then go on to perform in the live final.
Of all the acts that have been shown, one has stood out from the normal crowd of opera singers and street dancers and that is the Gymnastic act Spellbound who wowed the audience and judging panel (even hard face Simon Cowell) with their jaw dropping gymnastic act, they have also become an internet sensation on You Tube gaining millions of views.
