England off to a shaky start (+ player ratings)

England off to a shaky start (+ player ratings)
June 13, 2010 by Tim Killeen
So, England got off to a nervy start in South Africa (surprise, surprise), with question marks lingering over Capello’s team selection and style of football. Most telling, however, was England’s lack of composure in possession. Something which all the big favourites have...Read More

Seven fledglings to look out for in South Africa

Seven fledglings to look out for in South Africa
June 11, 2010 by Tim Killeen

Beware of The Black Stars & The Elephants…

Beware of The Black Stars & The Elephants…
December 4, 2009 by Tim Killeen
With the 2010 World Cup draw just made, I thought there was no better time for some bold predictions. It was Pelé who once said - in that conceited manner of his - that an African nation would win the World Cup before Y2K. Then again he once infamously predicted Columbia wo...Read More

The Road To Equality?

The Road To Equality?
September 11, 2009 by Tim Killeen
Events have fortunately conspired since we last spoke, making the last fortnight as significant, as poignant, and as revealing as any that I care to remember. Significant, because the powers that be have finally sought to be proactive in the fight against inequality; poig...Read More
