FA Respect – Are You Losing It?
The Football Association (FA) has recently launched a new campaign in its Respect program on March 3rd when England took on Egypt at Wembley. It is time that we all lend our support to what is a great campaign designed to reduce levels of anti-social behavior, both on and off the pitch. Whoever has played…
England vs Egypt and beer
Ahead of England and Egypt’s international friendly as a preparation for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. What is the most common thing that you see in a football crowd other than the flags and the weird hairstyles and wigs? Beer jugs!!

Chelsea had conceded in the first few minutes and stayed behind until the 78th; swinging in average crosses, and failing to string together more than three passes. Not until the…
