Davis Cup: Delpo taking revenge on Murray, beating him in his own home! Then Pella winning the second point for Argentina! How do you like them apples now, my British friends?

Well, I reckon the llama must looking be a bit less haughty now after we lost the doubles. Hopefully Delpo can kill the series off tomorrow.

Despite our coach doing everything within his reach to make us lose the series, victory for Argentina over Great Britain! Sweet revenge!

This is my favourite sporting moment of the year for emotion alone:
Olympic triathlon heroes the Brownlee brothers, Alistair and Jonny, shown here in Rio winning gold and silver respectively -
were competing in the triathlon world series last week in Mexico. Jonny was set to become the series winner if he could only win this race.
However, Jonny became exhausted and started to suffer badly in the heat. He was about to give up when his older brother spotted his difficulties and grabbed him, helping him to finish the race in second.
Jonny collapsed over the finish line 'as close to death as you can be' before he was taken off for treatment missing his medal ceremony. Alistair later said “I wish the flipping idiot had paced it right and crossed the finish line first. He could have jogged that last two kilometres and won the race.”
Brotherly love is true love. Great Yorkshire lads. One minute you're carrying your poorly little brother home the next you're calling him an idiot! I love them both .
This is the kind of story that still makes me cry more than a week on! And if you are not already thinking of a certain Hollies song by now you should be!
Alistair's Twitter profile, by the way, says -
Cake: the food of champions.

Tomorrow Argentina (the Pumas) will host Australia (the Wallabies) in a match of the Rugby Championship. Have you seen where Argentina has decided to play this home game? Twickenham. Yeah, as ridiculous at that sounds: Argentina playing a home game at Twickenham.
I'd rather they had chosen the Millenium in Cardiff to be honest, I think many more local spectators would have cheered for Argentina if the game had been held in Wales.

I wonder if I'll have to subtitle the match? What a disaster, if I called the Mighty Pumas the "naughty rumours"... Or "This is gripping drama" became "this is a sniggering llama"... Worse still, what if "He missed a try" appeared as "Mr Blue Sky"? All by accident, of course. Doesn't bear thinking about.

vlogdance unomusette: the Welsh rugby national team will host the Pumas at the Millenium Stadium (or should I say Principality Stadium now?) on November 12th.

I'll be in Cardiff that night, to see Cast at the Tramshed. It's not far from the Stadium so I'll hear the cheering

I notice the Argentina squad have a player named Sanchez... he's sure to find a window of opportunity.

There are some Sanchez who are Pumas and some others come in smaller feline size like my worldwide-famous neighbour. Nicolas Sanchez is the historical goalscorer of the Pumas. He's a very good kicker.

vlogdance : are you up to a forfeit for the loser of tomorrow's game? It could be a unique opportunity. I mean, how often do we get Argentina and Wales playing each other in any sport? Plus the odds are really even.

I was going to suggest, if Wales win, you post a video of yourself singing and playing Turn To Stone..... but that would be downright sadistic. So here's my idea. If Wales win, you post a picture of Enfys the dragon partying like a true Welshie. Drinks, flags, the lot. And if the Pumas win, I will post a picture of my llama and his spiky desert friends celebrating with equal delight. Deal? Will Sanchez be coming over to watch the game with you? Hope he's told his cousin Nicolas to keep his paws off the Welsh opponents.

Done! * shakes hands *
And let me tell you something else: I'm so confident on the Pumas that if they lose, I'm going to bake Welsh cakes and post the photos of whatever comes out on the forum.
Let's hope Nicolas Sanchez has already eradicated that bad habit of his of running out of the field whenever he sees an unlocked window in the stadium.
