Awesome sports weekend!

June 30 and July 1st have seen some of the best matches and sporting events all packed in a span of 48 hours. The World cup had its share of nail-biting nerve racking moments. England met their nemesis yet again in penalites, Scolari and Christiano Ronaldo. What a guy, giving a wink after Ronney's sending off! Then came the biggest upset of the WOrld Cup! 5-time champions Brazil were outplayed and outclassed by a set of 11 players from France, who were considered to be one of the oldest teams in the competition and could have faced an early exit save their 2-0 win over Togo. And then cricket. India achieved a place in the history books when it won the final test in Kingston to record its first series win in the West Indies in 35 years! And wasnt Dravid the Wall brilliant! His knock were one of the best in such conditions and he himself rated them so! Next to the Championships - Wimbledon. Andre Agassi, a living legend who was one of the very few to have won all the 4 grand slams bowed out of the tournament, And who sent him packing?? Rafael Nadal. The king of clay is coming of age in the grass court and is on the right track to challenge FedEx. And finally, the king of F1 returned, with Schumi posting a flawless victory in Indianapolis! ANd he led all the way right from the first qualifying session! What a weekend!
