1. Australia is described as the "lucky country". Tell that to a few of their footballers at the moment.
2. England (the one team I don't want to see in the final) get through the second round with a piece of Beckham magic while their next opponents Portugal will have trouble fielding a side after red cards and injury.
3. In rugby, France did beat South Africa with none of my money on while Ireland ran out of puff against Australia.
4. Shane Dye (an expat Kiwi jockey) injured in a fall on the weekend at Hong Kong - fingers crossed for a complete recovery.
5. Wimbledon started today - cue summer rain in England.

At times like this laughter is required - and I've found another Kiwi blog devoted to satire; this one is definitely not PC so if you're easily offended, don't go. Otherwise click here.
