The time will soon be upon us when it will be discovered whether the England 2018 World Cup bid team (as well as their Russian, Spanish/Portuguese and Dutch/Belgian counterparts) will discover whether the last year or so of flesh-pressing, lobbying, rule-flaunting, power-brokering, politicking, back-slapping, bribery, petty sniping, short-sighted optimism and the abject hemorrhaging of several…

Is La Liga Stronger Than The Premier League?

Is La Liga Stronger Than The Premier League?

La Liga and the Premier League are, in most quarters, rightly recognised as the two strongest leagues in the world. Perhaps this is tough on Serie A; but it is no secret that most of the world stars occupy the two leagues in question. It would be fair to say that, at this moment, the…

‘All The Fish Are Sold’: Spain Claim Seven World Cup Votes

‘All The Fish Are Sold’: Spain Claim Seven World Cup Votes

In a turn of phrase more befitting an episode of The Man from U.N.C.L.E than an interview regarding the upcoming World Cup 2018 voting ceremony in Zurich, the chief executive of the Spain/Portgual bid, Miguel Angel Lopez, has claimed that ‘all the fish are sold’ and that the Iberian campaign may have already (theoretically) garnered…

The Curious Case of England

Is The FA’s New ‘Centre Of Excellence’ A Decade Too Late?

Nearly ten fallow years have passed since the Football Association (FA) purchased 300-odd acres of rural Staffordshire in 2001 with the ‘express’ intent of developing a footballing ‘centre of excellence’ in the heart of England, akin to the elite Clairefontaine academy that has proved to be such a valuable asset to the French national team…

Fergie Time: England vs. The Sun, Liverpool, Newcastle, Everyone

FRANCE, NEWCASTLE, LIVERPOOL: England…

England’s dismal performance against France reminded me of Championship football

England’s dismal performance against France reminded me of Championship football

I can’t remember the last time I watched a football game where I have been so frustrated and disappointed at the way my team performed, whether it’s club or country, and that speaks volume when I admit I’m a Crystal Palace fan. Being a fan of the Championship, this article is in no way aimed…

Liverpool Fume Over Gerrard Injury: Time To Write Off 2010/11?

I’m not prepared to risk aneurysm by going into too much detail about England’s rudderless outing against the French last night, but it’s fairly safe to assume that there was one salient development that caught most Liverpool fans collective attention – and you can pretty much rest assured that it wasn’t the steady, assured performance…

Andy Carroll: How ‘Criminal’ Is ‘Too Criminal’ For England?

Newcastle’s tempestuous target man Andy Carroll has made considerably more appearances in the dock than he ever has for his national side, but the 21-year-old has been handed a conditional reprieve by England manager Fabio Capello and, as such, is set to collect his first senior cap this evening. Speaking in a pre-game media conference…
