Into his 17th year as a professional footballer, Rio Ferdinand still has the knack for a headline or two. The 34 year old centre-back has (unwittingly?) blown up the Twitterverse with a starring role in Riogate (the 2013 edition). Engulfing, for lack of a more descriptive adjective, 140 characters of opinion around the world, one […]

VIDEO: Ibrahimovic’s wonder goal vs England
I’ve always quite admired Leon Osman. Never spectacular but always diligent, a real team player. And whenever I’ve heard him interviewed I always thought he seemed a decent bloke and reasonably articulate. When he has ever lost his place for a time at Everton, he has always just got his head down, never complained and […]
Danny Rose was sent off for reacting to what appears to be racial abuse in England U21’s 1-0 victory against Serbia U21s. “I think there one or two racist incidents from the crowd, they’ve been reported to Uefa I believe by ourselves, and it’s in their hands now,” said U21 boss Stuart Pearce. “I’m very […]

As William Congreve might have put it ”Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turn nor hell a fury like a journo scorned”. Craig Levein, always viewed as a media darling, is about to face a whirlwind. Those who favoured him will now turn on him. This retribution will not be pretty. It will […]
The game was called off with 72 minutes played after Senegalese fans reacted to being 2-0 down (6-2 on aggregate) against the Ivory Coast. Flames appeared above the players’ tunnel shortly after Didier Drogba’s second goal and then it became apparent that fans were setting small fires all around the ground. Then the Ivory Coast […]

England went on to beat Turkey, Poland, draw with Holland at home, lose to Norway and Holland away, before beating San Marino 7-1 away. They finished 3rd in the group behind Holland and Norway and didn’t go to the World Cup in […]
As a fan of FC Bayern Munich and the German Bundesliga, I always support Die Nationalef von Deutschland in international competitions. And, of course, as a proud and patriotic American, I also root for team USA. But ahead of the 2014 World Cup, there is so much great international football going on that it feels […]
Rio Ferdinand was left out of England’s Euro 2012 squad for “footballing reasons” according to Roy Hodgson, although it is widely accepted that the England manager preferred John Terry and the two couldn’t be in the same squad following the Chelsea captain shouting “black cunt” at Rio’s brother. The fact Martin Kelly, who had struggled […]
Looking back 18 years, any Colombian will tell you that 1994 was supposed to be their year. With a crop of talent that featured the likes of Carlos Valderrama, Faustino Asprilla and Leonel Alvarez they were deemed one of the favourites. The story ends in tragedy as an own goal eventually would lead to a […]
John Terry retired from International football this week after claiming the FA had made his position in the squad “untenable”. This is a huge turnaround from the statement he made less than five months ago, claiming that nothing would convince him to make the decision to stop playing for his country. “I’m not going to […]
Former England captain, John Terry, has today announced his retirement from International football, blaming the FA for his decision. “I feel The FA have made my position with the national team untenable,” he said. “Representing and captaining my country is what I dreamed of as a boy and it has been a truly great honour.
