London 2012: USA avenge World Cup defeat by Japan to win Olympic gold
• USA 2-1 Japan
• Lloyd 8 54; Ogimi 63
USA gained the desired revenge for losing to Japan in last year's World Cup final on penalties. There was personal redemption, too, for Carli Lloyd, who answered her missed kick in that 3-1 shootout loss by scoring a goal in each half to seal the Olympic crown for her nation.
Japan were dubbed the Barcelona of the women's game for their flurry of neat passing and slick movement and their average height of 5ft 4in compared to the US's 5ft 7in. The Americans were the big tournament specialists. This was the fifth women's Olympic final and USA were continuing their record of being in all of them, losing only to Norway at Sydney 2000, 3-2.
For Japan, their coach Norio Sasaki framed the attempted conquest of gold as part of the country's healing process, following the trauma of last year's earthquake which killed nearly 20,000 people.
Ahead of this final he said: "All the Japanese people are still trying to come back from the earthquake disaster.
"Winning the World Cup was very emotional last year and gave energy to the nation after what had happened and the same can happen again."
After eight minutes a noisy, though not completely filled Wembley, witnessed the opening strike. Tobin Heath galloped into space down the left before Alex Morgan's twist and cross was met by Carli Lloyd, just ahead of the 143-goal Abby Wambach.
Far from being unsettled, Japan went in search of an instant reply. A shot from Nahomi Kawasumi was blocked by the USA captain, Christie Rampone, with Hope Solo, the keeper, stranded. Yuki Ogimi followed up but could not convert.
Ogimi went closer moments later. A hanging jump was followed by the forward's header being superbly palmed onto the bar b y Solo.
The goal-frame proved an extra defender for both sides. Amy LePeilbet's cross was met with a glancing header by Rampone that hit Yuki Fukomoto's right post. At the opposite end, Aya Miyama's pile-driver smashed back off the bar.
Ogimi was instrumental in every Japan attack. Her lay-off nine minutes from half-time was hit with a menacing curl by Shinobu Ohno but the ball was marginally wide of the post.
The open, entertaining nature of this contest continued after the break. Japan spread the ball across midfield only for their attacks to founder due to a belief deficit. When given sight of goal – as Miyama, the captain, on 52 minutes – the opportunity was snatched at.
When America flooded forward there was menace. After Megan Rapinoe laid the ball into Lloyd, she surged from near half-way then unloaded a 20-yard humdinger that gave the 5ft 4in keeper Fukumoto no chance, and that was 2-0 to Pia Sunhage's team.
In the 63nd minute Japan's Ogimi raised the excitement scale to fevered after her strike, though this proved a consolation as the neat triangles that were ending in cul-de-sacs continued to frustrate the Japanese.
The world champions still had their chances but when Miyama had two free-kicks to deliver in quick succession, her side failed to profit.

Book # 1 - Matched
From Goodreads - Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate... until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.
The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.
MY REVIEW - Do you want to know what I find scary? It's not blood, gore, guts, veins in the teeth kinda stories. It's also not things that go bump in the night or jump out at you in a dark alley. What I find scary are stories about dystopian societies that have gone a bit cray-cray! Societies that have dissolved into something far more scarier than a ghost or a random dead body in an alleyway. The Society in this book is a bit frightening. Your ability to make any kind of choice for yourself has been taken away for you. You are told what to eat, wear, whom to marry, what job you can have, and where you can live. You are not allowed to have any of your neighbors in your house and you are monitored 24/7 by "The Officials." The Society only lets you live till your 80th birthday and you can only have children up to the age of 31. At 17 you are matched to your spouse and at 21 you are married to them. Scared yet? You screw up and you get what are called infractions. The more infractions you receive the worse off your life can be.
All of the above is what happens to the main character Cassia. Cassia is 17 and is matched with her best friend Xander. She is soon to get her job placement and if she followed all the rules like she was supposed to she would have had the "perfect" life according to The Society. Well let's throw in another guy named Ky who is considered an aberration, some smuggled poetry from the old days, and feelings that she is not supposed to have. Matched is a pretty good story so far even though it is quite predictable. I'm not a huge fan of stories where the romance is the main focus, but I knew that going into the book. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to Cassia in the next two books of the series.

Book # 2 - Crossed
From Goodreads - In search of a future that may not exist and faced with the decision of who to share it with, Cassia journeys to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky - taken by the Society to his certain death - only to find that he has escaped, leaving a series of clues in his wake. Cassia's quest leads her to question much of what she holds dear, even as she finds glimmers of a different life across the border. But as Cassia nears resolve and certainty about her future with Ky, an invitation for rebellion, an unexpected betrayal, and a surprise visit from Xander - who may hold the key to the uprising and, still, to Cassia's heart - change the game once again. Nothing is as expected on the edge of Society, where crosses and double crosses make the path more twisted than ever.
MY REVIEW - Not bad, but there seems to be a theme here of redundancy. The same thing seems to be said over and over again. It was enough to make me want to fall asleep
*******************************************************************************************************
Book # 3 - Reached
From Goodreads - After leaving Society to desperately seek The Rising, and each other, Cassia and Ky have found what they were looking for, but at the cost of losing each other yet again. Cassia is assigned undercover in Central city, Ky outside the borders, an airship pilot with Indie. Xander is a medic, with a secret. All too soon, everything shifts again.
MY REVIEW - Predictable and redundant. I suggest you pick up the series at the library. It was enjoyable, but really did not have that WOW factor.
Match day at the GB Talent Squad training camp at the British Wrestling Academy on Sunday 27th February 2022.
The Wrestling Academy

The British Wrestling Talent Pathway.
The pathway will still consist of two tiers for those in secondary education with Regional squads leading to selection for the GB Talent Squad. The changes come in the change of focus to time spent on the mat working on technical and tactical skills and learning what it takes to be an elite athlete.
The Regional Squads consist of U13, U15 and Cadets with training on a monthly basis between September and April. Numbers will be limited to ensure that every athlete on the squad receives focused coaching to develop and improve. Club coaches are invited to attend along with their athletes to work alongside regional and national coaches.
The GB Talent Squad, for U15 and Cadets, will meet less frequently but with a focus on more time spent on the mat at three camps across the season in October, February, and April plus a summer camp. Numbers will be limited to approximately 18 in order that National coaches can work closely with the athlete, their club and regional coaches to develop and improve.
Ricardinho jogou muito nesse jogo. Ele tem altos e baixos, mas o Rubens Cardoso só baixos, é lerdo e sem gana.

Amidst the hustle & bustle of KL, right smack in the middle of Batu Road, are several tables & chairs set up by the roadside next to an Indonesian restaurant. On top of the tables are chess sets and the people who play them are the furthest from Gary Kasparov as you can imagine. Nevertheless, the intensity & apparent skill that they play with makes this place something special.
Unlikely people, unlikely place to find a game of chess. But still, there it is.

Plaster, arylics. 6m long.
A bas-relief image of a burning match. Built up using layers of plaster so that in areas it came 10cm out from the wall. It is painted slightly out of focus giving the effect of the whole image being unattached to the background, as if floating in midair.
In All Hallows hall in Easton, a redeveloped church hall nicknamed The Phoenix, this half burnt match plays on the name, the half-lit popularity of the Christian religion and the fact that the building has been burnt down twice in its history.
