Remembering World Cup 94 – The American Dream!

Now that most domestic seasons are starting to wind down, I thought it was time to think about the World Cup. In June, Russia will host their first World Cup but in this article I thought I’d look back at one of my favourite competitions and that was USA 94. I was ten, when that […]

Spurs Star Dele Alli Could Be England’s World Cup Star!

If England manager Gareth Southgate was sending Dele Alli a message by leaving him out of the Three Lions starting eleven in recent friendlies against The Netherlands and Italy, then the Tottenham Hotspur attacking midfielder responded in empathic fashion this past weekend. The youngster bagged a vital double as Spurs downed current Premier League champions […]

Where Are They Now? – Italy World Cup Squad 2006

I loved the Italian World Cup 2006 winning team. They had so many superstars in that squad and in various positions too. They had defensive discipline (well they were Italian after all), they had great passing midfielders and sublime forwards who could unlock the sternest of defences. They also had a squad with such a […]

Which Five Players Will Be Crucial To Socceroos At 2018 World Cup?

  Australia captain Mile Jedinak was the star of the show as the Socceroos defied the odds to beat Honduras and qualify for next summer’s World Cup. His superb hat-trick put Jorge Luis Pinto’s men to the sword and ensured Australia will be playing at the World Cup for the fourth tournament in a row. […]

Another late winner for Scotland has kept their World Cup dream alive and now we have our fate in our own hands. The Tartan Army support at Hampden roared the team home and in truth the Scots fully deserved the result as they bossed much of the game. Slovakia made their own job difficult with […]

England Have Their Critics But Slovakia Win Was Southgate’s Best

England all but secured qualification for next summer’s World Cup by grinding out a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Slovakia and the players and manager deserve great credit for their conduct during the campaign. It has been a time of great upheaval for the England set up as Sam Allardyce was sacked in disgrace and all-time […]

Can Scotland Dare To Dream?

Scotland went to Lithuania and produced a fine away performance, winning the game 3-0! The result keeps the Tartan Army dreaming about going to the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Although Slovakia’s late winner against Slovenia means our task is still a difficult one. The Scots now sit third in Group F and four points […]

1990s Football PlayList

I grew up watching football during the nineties and I can still catch certain songs on the radio that take me back to different times in that decade and my thoughts always linger on football. I was just six in 1990 and the World Cup was new to me. I remember a few things from […]

Scotland Fans Have The Right To Boo One Of Their Own

Football has quite a few topics that create great debate and division between those that love the game. Off the top of my head such topics include players not celebrating against former teams, whether a challenge merited a red card or not and should Arsene Wenger leave Arsenal or stay forever. In Scotland last night […]

My views on why Leigh Griffiths should start for Scotland!
