1) European Championship songs. Pretty, pretty bad. England, All the Way, 27 years young. Yeesh; Swedish TV opt for a distinctly Blockbusters theme in 1992; the official song of Euro 1996, for shame; E-Type perform Campione live at the opening ceremony for Euro 2000; Terry Venables and Rider with a 2000 track to forget; and Italy bust out Azzurro in 2004.
2) Samurai v 100mph fastball. Only one winner.
3) The world’s first BMX triple front flip.
4) Scott Davies with the best goal from Non-League Day last weekend, for Wealdstone from his own half. Guernsey FC’s Josh Steel a strong runner-up.
5) Even Mark Waugh dropped three in an innings. He didn’t make it a regular thing, mind.
6) Some lighter moments from the Rugby World Cup so far.
Our favourites from last week’s blog
1) All aboard at Slovakian football club Tatran Cierny Balog.
2) “Wish I could go back to the start of the season and put some money on the Cubbies.”
3) The top 10 great British boxers.
4) Another one to add to the Jürgen Klopp pile. Premier League press conferences are going to get more interesting.
5) An old-school Maple Leafs v Canadiens ice hockey encounter.
6) To Bathurst and the 1977 Hardie-Ferodo 1,000.
