England’s poor 2010 concluded as they slid to a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to France, but the night may be remembered for the “Club v Country” debate returning once again.

The England national team is on life support. Not the actual team itself, but the amount of enthusiasm and excitement that the team generates.

Italy, while being dour, somehow manages to be elegant at the same time, with its midfield maestros working amongst its Gattusos. Case in point, Barcelona and Villareal just […]

Despite it being a midweek friendly that many will immediately dismiss, I'm excited about this game. Sweden have picked a strong squad, and Germany are always determined and competitive. Also, this game gives Joachim Loew a chance to see which of Germany's younger stars will be able to make the step up to the international […]

An international break is coming up this midweek, and Prandelli is preparing Italy for a friendly against Romania. From the 23 that the former Fiorentina coach has picked, you have some new inclusions like Lazio's Argentinean-Italian, Cristian Ledesma, and the return of Mario Balotelli who has recovered from injury.
