Sunday Sport - The point of no return

Disaster struck yesterday with Leeds going down 1-0 to Southampton, things started to go wrong in the 34th minute when Alan Thompson was sent off reducing us to ten men. The team battled bravely and hung on for almost an hour until Southampton sealed it with a late goal.
With two matches to play Ipswich (home) & Derby (away) we have now reached the point of no return.

Still on Soccer the MLS is looking interesting and its hard to pick a dominate team, nobody has won their three opening games.. I see this week New York Bulls have signed Colombian striker Juan Pablo Angel from Aston Villa, he knows where the net is and I reckon he'll score a lot of goals.

New York Red Bulls are joint top of the East section with Chicago Fire with both teams on 7 points from their first three matches. Chivas USA are top in the west also on 7 points but Colorado Rapids can equal that if they win their game in hand today.

On to Cricket and England are out of the World Cup after been trounced by South Africa (who seem to be coming good at the right time).

So we'll move on to the domestic scene and the county championships as they started this week. Yorkshire got off to a flyer beating Surrey by well over 300 runs. We look to have a decent team this year and could win it, no fewer than 4 players scored centuries Jaques Rudolph, Jason Gillesbie, Tim Bresnan & Craig White. Young Spin sensation Rashid took a few wickets and chipped in with 86 runs in the first innings.

New captain Darren "Dazzler" Gough bowled well but it was Matthew "Hoggy" Hoggard that did the real damage with four key wickets in the 2nd innings. Now which two bowlers should have been in the England team ?

Today its the London Marathon and who in their right minds wants to run 26 miles is beyond me but two of the World great distance legends are taking part Kenya's Paul Tergat and Ethiopian Haille Gebrselassie. There will be around 30,000 people in the event many raising money for numerous good causes.

The World Snooker championships have started and to be honest I usually find the early rounds boring but this year the first round has paired together two of the Worlds greats "Rocket" Ronnie O'Sullivan and Chinese sensation Ding Junui, expect fireworks.
