Olympics opening ceremony - just hours away!
At approximately 9pm tonight the London 2012 Olympics will officially start!
A practise run was held earlier in the week, however that has been kept secret, so not to spoil the surprise.
Another mystery is who will carry the Olympic torch into the stadium in the last mile of 8,000 miles! Everyone has been guessing, and the favourite to do it is Sir Steve Redgrave. But it could be anyone!
The opening ceremony is a very important part of the Olympics, and David Cameron has been trying really hard to make it right, as has others, like Seb Coe.
So, soon the 2012 Olympics will have begun, and a series of exciting and amazing sporting events will follow.

Murray loses final to superb Federer
Andy Murray's Wimbledon dreams were ended by a amazing Roger Federer, who won his seventh championships.
Murray battled throughout, winning the first set, however Federer was playing with him by the end.
Fred Perry was the last Brit to win the Wimbledon men's singles title, in 1936.
It wasn't all bad for the British. Wildcard John Marray won the men's doubles with Dane Frederick Neilson.
Do you think Murray can actually wins Grand Slam? Or will he stay the same?

Villas-Boas named Spurs boss
Andre Villas-Boas has been named as Harry Redknapp's successor as Tottenham Hotspurs manager.
The former Chelsea manager, who is one of the youngest managers in the Premier League, stated that he was moving to 'one of the most exciting teams in the Prem'.
Tottenham are in a fight with Liverpool and Swansea for Iceland international Gylfi Siggurdsson, and the choosing of AVB may tempt the playmaker, or it could be the other way round.

Euro 2012 analysis: Are Spain Unbeatable?
Maybe if Germany had got past Italy, they might have beaten Spain in the final. But let's not go into if's and maybe's.
Spain were amazing - Italy could not stop them from the first whistle to the last.
A risk was taken as the Spanish played without any strikers for most of the game and tournament, however, with the amazingly creative football brains of Andres Iniesta, Xavi, David Silva and Cesc Fabregas just to name a few, they didn't need a centre forward it seemed. There were times in the first half where a striker may have scored, but overall the plan succeeded!
Another thing that many people overlook, is that even if Spain's stars got injured, they have superb back-up in Pepe Reina and Victor Valdes for Iker Casillas, Santi Cazorla for a midfielder, plus many more. Not to mention the fact that two of their main players, David Villa and Carles Puyol, were injured for the whole Euros.
Are Spain unbeatable? As BBC pundit/commentator Mark Lawrenson said, it would be amazing if it was possible for this Spanish side to play the Brazilian greats of 1970.
Your comments are welcomed. If you think you know who the best team ever are, please comment. Maybe that Brazilian team? Liverpool in the 70's? Man. United of a couple of years ago? Barcelona?

Spain ease to win in Euro 2012 final
Spain cruised past Italy 4-0 to record a amazing third tournament win in a row.
They ripped the record books open, with records like becoming the only team to win a European Championships twice in a row and they also won by the biggest margin in a European Championship final.
They bossed the game from start to finish. Fernando Torres secured the Golden Boot with a goal this match.
Devastated Italians seemed crushed after Thiago Motta's injury meant they had to play with only ten men, and it just got worse as Torres and Juan Mata added to the first half's goals later.
Jubilant Spaniards danced happily after the final whistle, while the player's children invaded the pitch!
Everyone was beaming as the Spain players received their medals, and as Iker Casillas triumphantly held the trophy aloft, football fans everywhere knew that this team was one of the best ever.
