The 19 year old is one of Italy's hottest prospects, but after disciplinary troubles at the Serie A champions, Balotelli is being shown the exit door. Balotelli's agent has said […]

West Bromwich Albion and Umbro have unveiled the club's new home and away jerseys for the 2010-11 season. Before we get to the shirts, I do want to mention that it's unfortunate that West Brom has such a poor commercial department. If you remember the last time West Bromwich Albion were in the Premier League, […]

Sunderland has unveiled their new home jersey for the 2010-11 season. With some designs, it makes you wonder how much shirt manufacturers can change the home jersey. With Sunderland, the design of the shirt is so locked down in terms of red and white stripes that there isn't a lot of creative license available to […]

Steve McClaren has made his intentions of bringing Wolfsburg back into European contention known. McClaren has recently come off a championship-winning season with FC Twente, where he brought the club Eredivisie glory for the first time in their history.

While everyone is compiling and publishing lists of the best eleven or best 23 man roster of the 2010 World Cup tournament, I have a question for you. What if you compiled a list of the eleven worst players from World Cup 2010? Or even a 23 man roster featuring the players who were the […]

New pretenders emerged in the likes of Germany's Jerome Boetang and Mexico's Javier Hernandez in South Africa.

The 2010 World Cup is over and while it was definitely not the best tournament of all time, there were plenty of highs and lows. In fact, I would argue that it was a better tournament than 2006. The frenzy at the end of games such as Uruguay against Holland, Ghana against Uruguay and Italy […]

After Euro 2008, Vicente del Bosque took the reins of the Spanish national team from Luis Aragonés, the man that led Spain to their first international tournament conquest since 1964 when they hosted and won the second UEFA European Championships, known then as the European Nations' Cup. Aragonés' tactical style went completely away from former […]

He may have awarded 14 yellow cards and 1 red, which realistically could have been more, but I believe Howard Webb deserves a fair bit of credit for his performance in the World Cup final. Currently, Webb is facing a decent amount of criticism from both the Dutch and Spanish sides, media types and football […]
