Thierry Henry Handball Video

I don’t usually follow international football unless my country is involved. One thing that caught my eye was the amount of people complaining about Thierry Henry’s handball that produced a goal for France and made them go onto win the match. Literally every status on facebook dissed the frogs so I immediately went to check it out. For those of you that don’t know what i’m on about,...

Euro Cup sucks without England!

I usually watch the Euro cup but not this time! Although i did watch it last night when Holland thrashed the world champions, Italy. Holland played a really good game and have a good chance of winning this competition if they play like they did last night. Now onto the subject of England not being in it. Well yes it sucks because i obviously only watch it when my own country is playing. I think i’ll...

Scored a goal from the half way line on Fifa 08

After much practice i’ve finally scored a goal from the half way line in Fifa 08 on the Playstation 3. I was so proud of the goal that i recorded it and uploaded it to YouTube. How did i do it? Well what you do is as soon as you kick off start heading towards the opposition and hold the long pass button (on PS3 this is square) and it will do a massive lob. 9 times out of 50 you will not score but it...

Bolton Wanderers vs Sporting Lisbon 06-03-08 feedback

A packed out Reebok stadium saw Bolton Wanderers draw 1-1 with Sporting Lisbon. How was the game? Not very good. The first half was perhaps a good half to watch as i saw Bolton all over Lisbon. They scored a goal and were leading for most of the game. At half time, what the hell did the Bolton manager say to his team? I was sat near the goals at the home end rather than the away end, and couldn’t...
