Aston Villa’s steady midfielder Gareth Barry and Tottenham’s crafty forward Robbie Keane look to set be Liverpool’s two most significant transfers this summer, if the club can secure the signatures of the pair, but in my opinion it is a another flying winger that would benefit the team most.With youngster Ryan Babel already making an […]

Even when the competitive football begins again in August, and when Manchester United’s wonderfully creative displays are likely to re-emerge once more and fans across the nation endlessly talk about the unbelievable goals they scored the night before, the transfer saga surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo is certain to remain on the lips of many.If the Portuguese […]

As the July sunshine finally scorches down on England after weeks of summer downpour this month, a familiar feeling ripples through the stomach of Liverpool supporters throughout the nation.

It is July 14th 2008, and there are still precisely 33 days until the new Premier League season kicks off here in England. The sun may have returned to its summer shine after a week of downpour, but still something remains missing from my life. A something that causes me to feel a catalogue of […]

If a depleted Turkey side manage to beat tournament favourites Germany in tonight’s European Championship semi-final in Basel, they will have pulled off one of the greatest miracles in the history of international football.It is unfortunate that the underdogs, who have previously performed stunning comebacks in this tournament against Switzerland, Czech Republic and Croatia, will […]

Switzerland has so far been covered by a sea of orange during this month’s European Championships as Dutch fans have turned up in unbelievable numbers to cheer on their footballing heroes of this generation.And the footballer’s themselves have performed magnificently as well, producing classy and emphatic victories over World Cup finalists Italy and France in […]

Just days after Sven Goran Eriksson’s controversial sacking, Hughes takes the manager’s […]

England’s performances against USA and Trinidad and Tobago can hardly be described as spectacular, but Fabio Capello has learnt some extremely valuable lessons for when the real business begins in September.

So many passionate nations, world-class players, and thoughtful managers will grace this summer’s European Championships in Austria and Switzerland, but only one country will ultimately prevail and cover themselves in glory and success. Here I give my views on who will win the groups outright, who will perform spectacularly and who will leave themselves with […]

England 2-0 USA Wembley Way mourned the loss of its soul last night as the fans filling its three-quarter full stadia could only muster up a mediocre atmosphere to compliment England’s dull 2-0 triumph over a woeful USA side. Only a timely flicked header from skipper John Terry and beautiful move finished off by man-of-the-match […]

Four years ago in Portugal, Henrik Larsson returned from international retirement to score three goals at the European Championships for Sweden to re-ignite a long lasting love affair with his nation.

Clarence Seedorf has remarkably asked to be withdrawn from the Netherlands squad which will take part in this summer’s European Championships in Switzerland and Austria.

Raul will not take part in this summer’s European Championships after being told of his exclusion from the 23-man Spain squad chosen by coach Luis Aragones. That means the responsibility of scoring goals will fall on the shoulders of Liverpool’s Fernando Torres, Valencia’s David Villa and Real Zaragoza’s Sergio Garcia, all of whom have the […]
