‘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…
England 2018 Plead With FIFA To ‘Ignore The Media’
In a development that reveals just how low they now deem themselves to have sunk in FIFA’s estimations (and how far back they have fallen back in terms of the impending vote), England 2018 have written to every voting member on the organisation’s executive committee (EC), pleading with them to not to punish the bid…
The FIFA Ballon d’Or’s probable contenders

Bayern Munich’s Arjen Robben will miss the opening two months of the season after the hamstring injury which had threatened to rule him out of the World Cup has flared up again. The club’s doctor has labelled the Dutch FA “irresponsible” for allowing Robben to play with an injury which hadn’t properly healed. The 26…
Samba No More!
One overwhelming question has stuck with me since the completion of the World Cup. Is it possible to do it “samba style” anymore? Not since ’86, when Maradona dazzled the crowd, have we witnessed a team win the World Cup by playing free-flowing, attacking football. Even Brazil, who invented “samba style”, have not been there…
