Malo and welcome to Season 3 Episode 72 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on this cloudy Monday morning 12 December 2022, coming to you from paradise on the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
In the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals in Qatar – an estimated 20 Million TV viewers in Britain watched their FIFA World Cup quarterfinal loss to France – this is the highest viewership of any event on television in Britain this year.
Meanwhile tens of thousands of English fans have abandoned their accommodation in Qatar and sold their tickets to the semifinals and finals of the FIFA World Cup to trudge back home in tears still wondering how the hell did their Captain, Harry Kane miss that penalty.
In rugby union – Samoa has won the HSBC Cape Town 7s, beating the All Blacks 7s 7-12 for the title and earlier beating South Africa 7-10 in their semifinal and Argentina 10-22 in the QFs. Fiji beat Los Pumas 5-29 for a disappointing fifth place and USA beat South Africa 22-14 for third.
The Australian men are still hung-over from their win in Dubai and Team Fijiana finished a disappointing 7th.
In rugby league – NRL players take heed: A former Bulldog, Rabbitoh and Rooster – Sandy “The Sandman” Campbell, played 93 first grade games in the 80s and 90s and was a star.
Now 56 years old, he is homeless, sleeps on a beach and is often spotted at a St Vincent de Paul shelter collecting a hot meal.
In boxing – UFC282 yesterday ended in controversy, with Paddy Pimblett of England awarded a shock win by unanimous decision over Jared Gordon of the USA and the main event ending in a split decision between #3 Jan Blachowicz of Poland and #4 Magomed Ankalaev of Dagestan, Russia so the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship remains vacant.
Me thinks UFC is tainted by fixed fights favouring fighters big on social media.
And in the IBF World Bantamweight female title fight between those hot Aussie chics, Ebanie Bridges stopped Shannon O’Connell in the eighth round in Leeds, England yesterday and had this to say, “Not bad for a skanky stripper I must say, not bad for a skanky stripper.”
“She came, she was hungry, she was fierce, she can hit, she can bang. But I was better, and that’s why I’m the champion.”
