Spain vs Chile in the 2010 FIFA World Cup semi-final in South Africa. It's half-time in this big semi-final and the second half kicks off with Chile leading 1-0. Then at the kick-off, the striker passes it back to the defender Arbeloa for Spain and he dribbles it in a unique style and passes it to the CAM (Central Attacking Midfielder) Andres Iniesta and Arbeloa is in the box and he rounds the defender and a one-two pass to Xabi Alonso and the Chilean defender slide tackles him and gives it a big penalty to Spain. Before the big penalty was taken, the referee gave the Chilean defender a yellow card. Arbeloa takes the penalty right in the top of the net and it is fully deadlocked at 1-a-piece. The Spanish supporters make a thunderous roar, like a tiger roaring in Bengal. Then at 1-all Arbeloa is trying to push the tackler  down and makes a spectacular pass to Spanish striker Pedro and a one touch shot near the post and it is saved by the goalkeeper and out for a Spain corner. Xavi the Spanish corner taker makes a great air pass and Iniesta headers it in the bottom right corner and not deadlocked anymore. Then a dash of thunder was red and in yellow it said 'SPAIN RULES'. It was 2-1 to Spain with 1 minute left and then the ref blows the whistle for full time and Spain win 2-1. The Man of the Match was Andres Iniesta who made Spain get in the final against the Netherlands while Chile are in the 3rd vs 4th playoff.

Getting an XBox One for my birthday present!

Last Sunday, my Mum and Dad bought me my early birthday present, while I was at my grandparents' house. When my Mum and Dad were at my house, my grandad dropped me off at my house. Then my Mum told me to close my eyes. Then I opened it and it was an… XBox One! I was so excited and I got  5 games. The games were Forza Motorsport 5, Kinect Sports Rivals and Titanfall. As well, on my birthday I got FIFA 14 and Angry Birds Star Wars. Forza Motorsport 5, Kinect Sports Rivals, FIFA 14 and Angry Birds Star Wars were rated as G and Titanfall was rated R16 so my Mum had decided to sell it. Then my uncle had came over to plug it in to our 55" Samsung LED Smart 3D TV and to set it up. Then yesterday was our first day playing it. We first played Forza Motorsport 5. I was a Subaru BRZ which had 500 horsepower. We had raced at the Top Gear test track and 4 other tracks. We started off and I had zoomed past at the time where it was straight and nearly got to 7th gear at over 150 mph which is over 245 km/h. Then I went past the finish and I finished in 10:15. There was a bit of damage to my car but the game was awesome. My favourite game at the moment is FIFA 14 because there has been some games I've played with my brother that have been  awesome. We have scored some really good goals. It's just like the real FIFA. By Shaan. Here are pictures of the console with the Kinect and my favourite 4 games.

G.One and Ra.One being India's best superheroes.

G.One and Ra.One are two of India's best superheroes for India One. On the 6th of March 1935, they were driving in the city of Pune, India and they parked somewhere near a dairy shop. When they looked at the shop next to it, they got out of their 1932 Ford V8 and they looked at the name and it said, FRANKENSTEIN the scientist's shop. They went in the shop and we saw Frankenstein making science experiments. G.One said, "Can we see one of your science experiments Mr. Frankenstein". Then Frankenstein said evily,"Yes, I will and I'm going to make one that can kill you but not me". Then they heard a squawk from a hawk named Hawky. The gas was coming. Then G.One whispered to Ra.One, "Defend the gas with our forcefields". Then "BOOM!" Ra.One and G.One put their forcefields towards the gas. When they defended it, they quickly ran out of the shop and then G.One saw someone named Jakob was blocking the door of a supermarket. Then G.One said furiously, "Halt there and stop blocking the door, it is illegal". Then they went to discover a cave in the East of Pune, when they got there, G.One and Ra.One saw Mahatma Gandhi, and he showed the two superheroes the way to get out of the cave. Then Mahatma Gandhi said, "Beware!", "Why did you say Beware, Mahatma", G.One said, "Because there is lots of spider webs and bats.", Then G.One and Ra.One replied, "We are superheroes and we can destroy them". After they destroyed them and got out of the cave, they had lived a super future since they were superheroes.

The newest Lamborghini by Shaan.

The newest Lamborghini is the Sesto Elemento. It has black go-faster stripes which makes the Sesto Elemento particularly fast. It has 750 zooming horsepower, a super-blitzing 6.5 litre V12 engine and can go a drifting speed of 225 miles per hour which is over 380 kilometers per hour. The seats are carbon-fibred red and don't look like the seats in a ordinary car. Inside it is made out of carbon-fibre and the alloy wheels are made from rich titanium. Everything inside is made out of carbon-fibre like the steering wheel, the seats, the blades (like in an Audi R8) and it has the biggest exhaust pipe ever. It costs $4 million dollars. The doors open up like someone jumping up slowly on a trampoline. It is only 600 kgs, the less weight it is, the faster it is. Richard Hammond drove it on a race track on a programme called "The Best of Top Gear'. I would scream with happiness if I was in it. By Shaan.

Why I want to meet Sachin Tendulkar By Shaan

One person I'd want to meet in history is Sachin Tendulkar because he is the most famous cricket player ever. He started in 1989 against India's old rivals Pakistan when he was only 16 years old, then last year he played his last match vs West Indies in the final match of the test series when it was his 200th test match. His highest score in tests was 248 not out vs Bangladesh in December 2004 at Dhaka. My mother has met Sachin Tendulkar before I was born. He is nicknamed as 'The Little Master'. In One Day International's, his highest score was 200 not out vs South Africa in the 2000s where India made 401 for 3 after 50 overs. He plays the IPL (Indian Premier League). He played for the Mumbai Indians which Corey Anderson from New Zealand is playing for in this year's IPL. His highest score in IPL is 100 not out vs Kochi Tuskers in 2011. He can bowl but he doesn't do it that often. His best bowling statistics in One Day International's was 5 wickets for 32 runs against Australia at Mirpur in 2001 when he got Man of the Match for his superb bowling. In Tests, his best bowling statistics are 3 wickets for 14 runs vs the No. 1 test team South Africa but not against Sachin Tendulkar. In cricket he has scored 85,356 runs altogether in International and Domestic cricket. He is one of my favourite players in all cricket. I definitely want to meet him.

Sentence of the Day (add a clause) by Shaan
