Their defeated faces will be splashed across the tabloids with hor­ri­bly corny puns sim­i­lar to the one shown in Nike’s ‘Write the Future Ad’. And the whole coun­try is going […]

Eng­land have limped to two draws in World Cup Group C action, hav­ing failed to score in 176 con­sec­u­tive min­utes fol­low­ing Steven Gerrard’s spec­tac­u­lar 4th minute strike ver­sus the United States. Once again Eng­land are under­whelm­ing in an inter­na­tional tour­na­ment, or are they? The real­ity of the sit­u­a­tion is that Eng­land is sev­er­ally lim­ited squad with […]

Eng­land, Alge­ria, Slove­nia, and Yanks (USA), but like every World Cup group that does not fea­ture a true acci­den­tal qual­i­fier (like North Korea or New Zealand) each team in Group C has enough qual­ity to cause prob­lems.

It is quite dif­fi­cult to com­pare the career path of Fabio Capello and Mar­cello Lippi. Both have been suc­cess­ful coaches and both hail from the Ital­ian penin­sula. They both coached Juven­tus of Turin dur­ing their glit­ter­ing man­age­r­ial career, yet the sim­i­lar­i­ties end there.
