There's what was predicted. Then there's what really happened. Group A For the world champions France, this was meant to be a stroll in the park. Their only possible competition was Denmark. What was that? France knocked out? Not scoring a single goal? Yeah, right...oh, you're not joking! Exactly, ...  Read the complete review

When I first found out that the world cup was to be held in Japan and South Korea I though that FIFA had made a mistake. Watching the first match I was convinced they had made a mistake. My first doubt was the accessability to the matches. Both countries are a considerable distance from Europe, Africa and the Americas, and are ...  Read the complete review

Whatever the reason for Roy Keane's Taz-style behaviour over the past few days (and, let's be honest, the great man has actually been acting strangely for some months now), there can be no question that he has put himself into a very tricky position with relation to his three or so million fellow countrymen and women.   ...  Read the complete review

As a rule I tend to avoid this type of issue on what I believe should be a consumer-based site. The fact is that there have been acres of newsprint wasted already and even though I know all of this I still felt that I had to put virtual pen to virtual paper and give you my opinion as a soccer fan. (We call it soccer here in Ireland, as ...  Read the complete review

Last time the World Cup was on I was getting excited weeks before the opening ceremony but this time I'm only just starting to get into a state of anticipation. Part of the problem is the time difference. Last time I watched most of the games and so really got into the whole tournament. This time because of the games being ...  Read the complete review

I am disgusted at all this bad press flying around about the captain of my team. I have to say that too many people are calling him without knowing the whole story and I think the fact that he plays for Manchester United has something to do with it. To be honest though, to say what he said about McCarthy to the press was a ...  Read the complete review

My ma, George W. Bush and Glen Hoddle all have something in common, they know nothing about football.

Am I the only person to be sick of these pointless friendlies? Don't get me wrong - I can't wait for France vs. Senegal on Friday as the World Cup finally kicks off, but find all the friendlies going on currently very tedious. This is particularly in England's case. Sven has yet to choose his starting eleven for ...  Read the complete review

I’m sure that there must be many of ‘our kind’; we who dread the madness which takes over the planet, every four years, and prepare to batten-down-the-hatches during four weeks of hell, us who cannot understand the fanaticism surrounding 22 players kicking a ball around a field for 90 minutes.

Sven Goran Eriksson seems to have settled now on his first choice England side for the World Cup, despite the high numbers of injury problems among some of them and it's noticeable that he's made a bit of a policy decision to take the majority of his men from the top end of the Premiership. If we assume as most pundits ...  Read the complete review

As the world cup looms, and with the current spate of injuries to key England players, it may seem that Sven’s 23 to travel to Japan and Korea will be an automatic choice of the only 23 fit players who qualify to play for England. However, in the hope everyone is fit, this the 23 players who won’t free to make a Rio ...  Read the complete review
