The English soccer staff have managed to succeed in the quarter finals of the Fifa World Cup, will this lastly be the 12 months that soccer comes back residence for the first time since 1966? Despite not enjoying their greatest football, England are still within the event and should have an ideal chance of lifting the trophy.
Some would possibly say that I’m biased as I am from England myself and am an avid England supporter, nevertheless I actually really feel… Continue reading
The viral itself is quite nice, almost as though Guus Hiddink is a child dreaming of the life he’ll lead, rather than remembering things in the past.
Quite nice, save for one large bit of confusion: What the hell’s it all about? At first it seemed like it may be an international hotel chain, then dental hygiene, and finally something involving air travel, waiting for Bill Shatner to pop up. But a quick Google search says Together For Great Goals is, or was, the slogan for Betherlands 2018.

The Qatar bid video made the rounds on the internet like some celebrity sex video, but Russia’s bid video fell well below the radar, mostly because their bid wasn’t rooted in some far-off fantasy world.

As confessions go, this one ranks in the all-time pantheon of greats…and those providing too much information.

While FIFA’s busy blocking punches from all angles like a jelly-legged prizefighter with the 2018 & 2022 World Cup decisions on Thursday, they’ve done with the business of getting the 2011 Women’s World Cup draw done without so much as a peep that it was dirty – filthily dirty.
So there’s that going for them.
UEFA’s done a favor for those of us completely unfamiliar with the Women’s World Cup (aye, guilty) and whipped up a primer in a jiffy for next year’s big tournament in Germany.
