How to use match in a sentence?
I’ve always thought Queen Elizabeth II should be called Elizabeth the Steadfast, i think it’s a perfect way of describing Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Elizabeth II was n’t necessarily expecting to be queen, and Queen Elizabeth II embraced that duty. ’’ As the elder daughter of King George V’s second son, Elizabeth, now 95, was expected to live the life of a minor royal when she was born on April 21, 1926. Dogs and horses, a country house, a suitable match — a comfortable but uneventful life — seemed her future. But everything changed a decade later when King Edward VIII, King Edward VIII, abdicated so King Edward VIII could marry the American divorcee Wallis Simpson. Elizabeth’s father became King George VI, making the young princess heir apparent. George VI, whose struggles to overcome a stutter were portrayed in the 2010 film.
First of all I can say thank you to all you guys because your energy tonight gave me the win, if you were not here I would probably lose the match because I was so tired, I was cramping yesterday and it was hard for me to play.
We had a good first half then we had 10-15 really bad minutes and that's why we lost, whether I should stay or not does not depend on me and we still have another match. In a World Cup you have to wait till the very last minute although our chances are minute.
We just couldnt put our chances away tonight, if Jozy Altidore look at that 10 -, 15-minute period, we kind of lost the game a bit. We were trying to play out of the back and stick to our guns, but maybe it was a time to kind of get up Soldier Field and try to get in their half and kind of change that momentum a bit. Mexico was playing in its first tournament under new coach Tata Martino. El Tri has not lost a competitive match to the U.S. since 2013, winning three, drawing one and re-establishing itself as the regions power. Gregg Berhalter, the first American to coach the national team after playing in the World Cup for the U.S., wants a possession-based team. Qualifying for the 2022 World Cup will not start until next summer, leaving the biennial championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean as the first measuring test.
We're learning more about the impact process itself, we can match different sizes of craters to specific seismic and acoustic waves now.
