Predictions, right or wrong go hand in hand with the World Cup like some beautifully ironic couple you see walking down the street. At first glance, the awkwardly short man who's pulled a 5'8 blond model strikes a questionable chord with your intellect. You immediately resort to predicting and analyzing (if you're honest with yourself) […]

You may as well kiss England's chances of winning the 2018 World Cup bid goodbye. England's 2018 World Cup bid lay in tatters this weekend after The Mail On Sunday newspaper revealed that FA Chief Lord Triesman accused Spain and Russia of trying to bribe World Cup referees. And today, it was announced that Triesman […]

Today's FA Cup Final came to an end, with this year's league champions Chelsea edging recently relegated Portsmouth FC by a Didier Drogba goal to nil.

The agent of Swansea striker Besian Idrizaj has unfortunately told the media of the players death due to a heart attack on May 15th in his family home in Linz, Austria. Although not a regular in the Swansea side, it is so unfortunate to see a player (or indeed anyone) die at such a young […]

In the build-up to the FA Cup Final today between Portsmouth and Chelsea, I thought it'd be interesting to enter the time machine and to go back to 1992 to watch the television broadcast of Portsmouth versus Liverpool in the FA Cup Semi-Final from Arsenal's Highbury Stadium. With John Motson commentating and awful shirt designs […]

If you want to see how much soccer has changed and what a cup final was like in 1972, this classic video showing the first ten minutes of footage from the 1972 League Cup Final is a must-see. The video looks like it's straight out of The Damned United with the tracksuit jackets and how […]

Wolves last week unveiled their new home shirt for the 2010-11 season. Designed and manufactured by Burrda, a Swiss sportswear company, the new home strip for Wolves features their typical gold color with black trim. Judging by the above picture, the new jersey is quite elegant and features an old-fashioned collar. What do you think […]

It was recently confirmed that AC Milan and the Brazilian coach Leonardo will part, while in the press conference Leonardo was calm and seemed happy with his decision, it's strange to see the young manager leave so quickly. AC Milan have an aging squad, but within the team there are three young stars to build upon: […]

The Greek Superleague finished with Panathinaikos running out winners with a six point lead above defending champions Olympiakos, and Benfica won the Portuguesa Liga with a five-point lead above second placed Braga.

On Tuesday, the goalkeepers and defenders were discussed, and Wednesday, the midfielders were discussed.
