Winter Olympics - Quality isn't it?!

I'm loving Vancouver 2010!

The sports that go on are just amazing - moguls (flying down a slope going over bumps and then doing massive jumps), ski cross (four skiers zooming round a track - bit like the first lap of an F1 race, but with jumps), airels (what looks like gymnastics on skis), and then ski jumping which is surely the most graceful sport in the world.

Check these videos out:

USA goal - or is it - puck enters goal on 0.1/0.0 seconds...

Stunning skills from USA's ice hockey team. The commentators got pretty excited too!

Seeds of hope (or doubt)

A thought, a decision, a missed tackle. Anything can be a seed of hope (or doubt).

Today, Liverpool FC made their seed of hope grow that little bigger, and Manchester Utd created a seed of doubt.

With a comprehensive victory against Real Madrid in the week, and a thumping defeat of Man U today, Liverpool may be starting to hope again.

A hope for the Premier League title, not the Champions League, that's old hat, but the PL, the big one, the best one.

4-1 will be the cry. A Gerrard, Torres victory once more. Vidic getting the blame for the 'other red' team losing. The penalty, Liverpool having better clear cut chances and other aspects of the game that will be the talking point.

But its the seed of hope that that winning gives which is the important thing.

A seed, which with more rain, good ground (and probably the deforestation of the trees around it) will lead to Liverpool once more being crowned Champions of England!
