England are looking better value for 0-0.

Celtic have scored in the 50th consecutive game in which they've managed to score

It slid away from his left boot which was poised with the trigger cocked

The substitutes are all on the bench, and that's where they'll start the match.

Cantona's expression speaking the whole French dictionary without saying a word.

The crowd think that Todd handled the ball...they must have seen something that nobody else did.

Poland nil, England nil, though England are now looking the better value for their nil.

He's marked his entrance with an error of some momentum

It's Brazil 2 Scotland 1, so Scotland are back where they were at the start of the match

And Watford acknowledge the support of the crowd, indeed of the crowd that supported them

Lukic saved with his foot, which is all part of the goalkeeper's arm.

Jim Leighton is looking a sharp as a tank

They've maintained their unbeaten record between the legs.

Those two volleys really could be the story of this match summed up at the end of it.

The Dutch look like a huge jar of marmalade.

That's lifted the crowd up into the air.

A peep, peep, peep, another peep, and that's it.

Philosophical Views and Reflections

After he was dropped from the 2009 French Open tennis and the World and European Ice Skating Championships, and the following year was not involved at all with the 2010 Winter Olympics (after working on every Olympic tournament since 1968), and did not cover that year's Boat Race when the contract returned to the BBC, there was speculation as to whether his links with the BBC had finally been severed. However, he reappeared on the BBC in June 2010 for what was his 25th Wimbledon tennis tournament and he continued to cover every subsequent Wimbledon up to and including 2018. He did not have any involvement with the BBC's 2010 World Cup coverage, but in September 2010, the BBC announced that he would be going to that year's Commonwealth Games in India to commentate on the hockey tournament.

In an interview in 2015, Davies revealed the other sports that he would like to have covered: "Well, I love cricket but I'm not Richie Benaud , who I think is still, by a street, the best commentator around. I enjoy watching the golfing Majors but I couldn't compete with Peter Alliss. I enjoyed doing a wide range of sports in my time and learning from people who knew more about them than me."
