Ahead of their friendly against France, England captain Rio Ferdinand has spoken about the difference in mentalty at his club, Manchester United, and his country. “That mentality comes from the confidence of winning,” he said. “Winning things would help. But we [at England] have to get into the situation to win things. And the truth [...]
Congratulations to Chris Smalling who has been called up to the England squad for the first time. After impressing for the U-21, Smalling is one of the eight defenders that Fabio Capello has named in his squad for a friendly against France on Wednesday. Two years ago he was playing for the Isthmian League side [...]
Whilst not Wayne Rooney’s biggest fan at the moment, I was shocked to find his name not even amongst the nominations for Ballon d’Or this season. Just a few months ago, he was being tipped as a potential winner, but after a disappointing World Cup campaign, his name has been omitted from the shortlist. If [...]
Javier Hernandez scored the first equalising goal for Mexico in their 2-2 draw with Venezuela in an International friendly.
Corry Evans, the younger brother of Jonny, has saluted the effect his brother’s career has had on his own. Aged just 22, Jonny has over 70 United appearances to his name, as well as 19 International caps. Corry, who is 2 years younger, has yet to make his debut for United, although has 5 appearances [...]
Chris Smalling scored the winner with just over 5 minutes to play for England U-21 against Romania U-21 tonight. Danny Welbeck started as a lone striker and should have been given a penalty after dribbling in to the box. England’s opening goal came from a cleared Tom Cleverley corner landing at the feet of Jordan [...]
Nani put Portugal ahead with less than half an hour played, with a Cristiano Ronaldo assist, before putting them 2-0 up straight from the restart. Liverpool defender, Cristian Poulsen, gifted him the ball before Nani smashed it home. Nani then set up up Portugal’s third, scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, after former Chelsea and current Real [...]
After being linked to taking on the Wales job, Ryan Giggs has confirmed that he has no intention of applying… yet. “I am playing for Manchester United and am fully focussed on that,” said Giggs. “I just don’t think you can do the two, especially at a club like United. I know Mark Hughes did [...]
Patrice Evra has lost his appeal to overturn a 5 match international ban imposed by the French Football Federation for his part in France’s shambolic World Cup stint. “The Appeals High Commission, which met today to consider the appeal by the player Patrice Evra, has decided to confirm the five-match sanction for non-selection by Team [...]
Tom Cleverley and Jack Wilshere combined to set up Danny Welbeck for his first goal against Lithuania, before Aston Villa’s Marc Albrighton made it 2-0, before Welbeck finished off a good day for England U-21 to make it 3-0.
Darron Gibson has let his international boss, Giovanni Trapattoni, know that he has no intention of leaving Manchester United. Gibson was on the bench throughout Ireland’s 1-0 win over Armenia and his manager implied this would the way it would stay until he started getting regular first team football, to give him more “hunger”. “If [...]
After John Toshack quit the Wales job, it took a matter of minutes before Welsh legend, Ryan Giggs, was linked to the job, with some claiming he was the Football Association of Wales’ first choice. Former United coach, Eric Harrison, has claimed if Giggs wants the job, he couldn’t carry on playing too. “It is [...]
Fabio Capello has confirmed that Wayne Rooney will play against Switzerland tomorrow for England.
Corry Evans gave Northern Ireland their first win in 10 games after coming off the bench to score the winner in the 70th minute. His country haven’t scored in any of their previous 7 and have only won 4 of their last 26. Evans is therefore unsurprisingly made up with his contribution. “I haven’t scored [...]
