Arsenal vs Chelsea Review

On Sunday afternoon the European Champions travelled to the Emirates to face an Arsenal side who had lost 2-0 to Brentford the week before. No points for guessing the winner of the watch or for guessing which of the sides looked defensively fragile and toothless in attack. Starting with Chelsea and Romelu Lukaku scored onContinue reading “Arsenal vs Chelsea Review”

PSG Transfer Window

Everyone knows that every international tournament is followed by a crazy transfer window, but I don’t think anybody would have predicted the turbulence of this window let alone how PSG would sign the best player the world has ever seen. Firstly to Barcelona who appeared to be having a superb transfer window, announcing the signingsContinue reading “PSG Transfer Window”

The Lions Tour of South Africa

Warren Gatland’s Lions squad suffered a 2-1 defeat in the tests against South Africa after playing some remarkable, albeit unchallenged rugby in the warm-up matches.

Last night England and Italy both fought like true champions to take the Euros Final into penalties after drawing 1-1 through 120 minutes. Donnarumma and some England misses meant Italy and Roberto Mancini successfully brought the Euros “to Rome”. Before we get to the penalties the football was superb to watch. England came flying outContinue reading “European Championships 2020: England vs Italy”

England at the Euros

Before we begin I would like to say my first team is Wales and my second is anyone but the English but I will write this blog with a degree of balance, maybe. England have been good (one compliment), but so have the Danes since the anguish suffered in their match against Finland. Should EnglandContinue reading “England at the Euros”

UEFA agree to scrap the away goal rule

Whilst football hasn’t changed its fundamental laws over the decades there have rules introduced and adapted many times to ensure our beautiful game is continuously evolving into a better version of itself. UEFA’s plan to scrap the away goal rule in all of their competitions for next season is the latest example of that. ItContinue reading “UEFA agree to scrap the away goal rule”

After a well-earned victory in Eurovision, Italy are looking to cement their European dominance by winning the UEFA European Championship this summer. Led by the most stylish manager at Euro 2020, Roberto Mancini has added an attacking flair to the usual organized play of the Italians. Italy have won each of their previous 10 matchesContinue reading “Italy at the Euros”

Wales at the Euros

Firstly I would like to touch on the Denmark vs Finland match on Saturday and the heroic displays from every Denmark player but especially Kasper Schmeichel and Simon Kjaer who went above and beyond in their duties when teammate Christian Eriksen fell unconscious during the match. At the time of writing Eriksen is awake recoveringContinue reading “Wales at the Euros”
