Neymar lifts Brazil to its first Olympics gold medal by beating world champions Germany 1-1 (5-4 pens) in a tense penalty shoot-out
If the script writer had offered this up before kick-off in Saturday night’s Brazil v Germany Olympic final here at the Maracana they’d have been sacked for being too fanciful. It was fairytale, make-believe, hard to fathom stuff as Neymar, the darling of the Selecao, scored the 10th and decisive penalty in a shootout to win it 5-4 and to seal gold for his country.The match ended 1-1 in normal time as Neymar, (who else?), scored a brilliant free-kick that looked like it would lead Brazil to glory. But the Germany captain Max Meyer equalised on 58 minutes. There were chances – nothing golden – but the two couldn’t be separated…until the incredible drama of the penalties.

The Number of Damien Thorn (Damien Season 1 Review)
The news about Damien failing to be renewed for Season 2 came not as a shock to me. For one thing, I am used to watching non-mainstream TV series and I am fine with that. Apart from that, the numbers for this series were so bad. Still, it is with great sadness that I am writing this first and last review for this horror show that at first made the fans ask “what was that?” to showing that there could be more in the story only if it was given another chance.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, a movie review
Rogue One is a film about how the Rebel Alliance acquired the Death Star plans prior to the events of A New Hope. Surely a prequel to a film so widely known would be predictable. Spoilers: the Rebellion Alliance get the plans.
