Easy victory for Sweden at Under-21 Championships
June 17, 2009
Tournaments hosts Sweden has a perfect start to their UEFA Under-21 Championships campaign, beating Belarus 5-1 in Malmo.
An impressive distance strike from Sergei Kislyak actually put Belarus ahead after 33 minutes, but an own goal from Aleksandr Martynovich allowed the home crowd to breathe a sigh of relief.
A few minutes later, Markus Berg found his way between two defenders and put the ball past keeper Chesnovski for a 2-1 lead. The FC Groningen forward went on to add a third just before half time.
The Swedes got another two goals late on, as Berg completed his hat-trick on 81 minutes followed by a fifth and final goal from Gustav Svensson with a distance strike in minute 89.
Consequently, Sweden are the first leaders in Group A, ahead of Tuesday’s other match between Italy and Serbia.

Standard held at Zulte-Waregem
May 3, 2009
RSC Anderlecht might make a difference this week as title rivals Standard de Liege drew 0-0 with Zulte-Waregem.
Standard, who ahead of this game had the same amount of points as Anderlecht, failed to scored the goal they craved and had a four-match winning streak come to a halt.
Anderlecht visit relegation candidates AFC Tubize on Sunday and a win would allow the Brussels outfit to create a two-points advantage over Standard.
KAA Gent moved into third place meanwhile, beating Cercle Brugge 2-1 while Club Brugge crashed to a 2-3 defeat by Lokeren.

W Connection routs Bath Estate 12-1 to advance in Caribbean club championship
March 26, 2009
NEW YORK – Andre Toussaint and Matthew Bartholemew scored three goals each to lead W Connection of Trinidad to a 12-1 victory over Bath Estate of Dominica on Wednesday and place in the second round of the Caribbean Club Champions Cup.
W Connection was joined by Inter Moengo Tapoe of Suriname, which despite a 1-0 loss at home to CSD Barber of the Netherlands Antilles on Wednesday, advanced to the second round on a 3-2 aggregate score.
Jonathan Frias scored twice in the first seven minutes for W Connection, which won the first leg in Dominca 5-0 and advanced on a 17-1 aggregate.
W Connection next plays the winner between SA Cavaly of Haiti and SV Britannia of Aruba. Cavaly won its home leg 5-0 on Sunday and will play the second leg in Aruba on Monday.
Inter advances to play San Juan Jabloteh of Trinidad, which was seeded into the second round by virtue of reaching the semifinals the last time the tournament was held in 2007.
Besides Toussaint, who is a member of the Trinidad & Tobago national team player pool, Bartholemew and Frias, W Connection also got goals from Gerard Williams, Christian Viveros, Eder Aras and Kerron Smith.
Kurlson Benjamin had Bath Estate’s lone goal in the 26th after W Connection already had built a 3-0 lead.
In Suriname, Vaylison Lake gave CSD Barber hope with a goal in the 14th minute, and the Dutch Antilles’ club’s prospects improved further with the 21st-minute ejection of Inter’s Brayon Damba. But it failed to generate another goal and was eliminated.
Three first-round series remain undecided. Besides Cavaly-Britannia, Sevilla FC of Puerto Rico heads to Antigua to face the Greenbay Hoppers on Sunday after they two drew their first leg 3-3, and Tempete FC of Haiti hosts Alpha United of Guyana, also on Sunday, after they drew their first leg 1-1.
The second-round matches are set for April 13 and April 20, with the single-game semifinals scheduled for May 15 in Trinidad and the championship and third-place match two days later in Trinidad.

March 16, 2009
WAG, Sheree Murphy tells Fabulous magazine about her essential beauty tips and what she does to stay in shape!
Sheree admits to loving make-up, in particular her lashes and tan:
‘I’m a real make-up junkie! I don’t like being pale, so I put on Bronze Universel De Chanel everyday for a healthy Glow. My eye make-up essential is Lancome’s Definicils High Definition Mascara.’
The WAG admits that she isn’t a fan of the gym but does like a spot of kick-boxing:
‘The only thing that keeps me motivated is kick-boxing. It’s fab for shaping up. It keeps my legs and ankles slim and toned even when I’m pregnant.’
Sheree and hubby Harry Kewell have three children together, so it has to be said that the WAG looks pretty fab considering. But even Sheree has body hang ups, she says:
‘I hate my bum. My body isn’t the same after having kids, but I’m not ready to resort to surgery yet. And Harry is so fit, I’m self-conscious about getting naked.’
We have to agree with that second to last comment, he is rather lush!
