England weren’t the only team to crash out of the Euro 2008 qualifiers, meaning we’ll have fewer reds representing their countries next summer than we might have previously imagined. Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville, Owen Hargreaves, Michael Carrick and Ben Foster will all have a football free summer. Nemanja Vidic wasn’t even on the bench when [...]
England Embarrassment: Thank God For Manchester United
When Roy Keane returned the “shamed man” from the World Cup finals 2002, he knew he was going to be in for a tough time from the country and the media. What he deemed unacceptable behaviour from the FAI, embarrassing treatment, lead him to his decision to fly back to Manchester from Japan. When reflecting [...]
Tevez Red Shame
A day after revealing that he would need a break, following a tiring trip to Argentina, playing in temperatures reaching 80 degrees Fahrenheit, Carlos Tevez has been sent off for his country in a 2-1 defeat against Colombia. Our new striker had warned fans that he would need a rest this weekend, after a gruelling [...]
Do We Want England To Qualify?
So England’s Euro 2008 hopes could be smashed to smithereens in a few hours, if Russia manage to get a win over Israel this evening.

Whilst his injury time winner against the dippers allowed the majority of fans to kiss and make up, nothing can be done to entirely repair the damage done after he missed his drugs test. After demanding more money, after serving a lengthy [...]
Can England Only Dream of Joga Bonito?
After seeing Chelsea cruise to an easy Premiership title this season, without really breaking in to a sweat, or, without playing good, exciting, entertaining football, it raised the question of what was more important, beautiful football, or trophies. The fuss that has been made about Joga Bonito, with our Eric telling the world that “for [...]
They’re shit, and we know they are
After seeing Joe Cole score a goal which surely will be a contender for goal of the tournament, and generally a pretty good forty five minutes of football, it was beginning to look like maybe England could put their dismal performances in the first two games behind them. Of course it could be said that [...]
The White Pele
The looks of the English Chelsea players faces when Rooney went down in their penalty area, shouting and waving his arms in the air, showed more clearly than anything else what bad news this was for England. They knew they had their title wrapped up, and for a moment or two, you could tell their [...]
