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 […]

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.

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.

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
