2 Russia and Qatar - Interesting!!

Let me start by saying that I kind of guessed that both England AND USA would not get chosen to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. I just couldn't see FIFA giving consecutive World Cups to predominantly white and English speaking countries. I didn't really know too much about England's bid, but I thought

5 Name One EPL Player That Had a Good World Cup

I have been on record (prior to the World Cup, so not an excuse) as saying that one of the reasons England struggle in World Cups and Euro Championships is that the players are physically worn out from a season in the English Premier League. Note, I said "one" of the reasons. There are other

Today is an article by guest blogger, Alex Mason. Mason is the Director of Coaching for Omaha F.C. England’s slow road to failure With so many experts, coaches, fans, and critics all trying to understand the downfall of the English game, I wanted to add some thoughts. Without a doubt the game was modernized by

2 Random World Cup Thoughts

Today I have some random World Cup thoughts. 1. How come Germany manages to over exceed expectations at the World Cup. I can't remember the last time they had a "bad" World Cup. Of course, they don't win it every year, but they seem to always do well or better than expected. This WC is

2 Would Lampard's Goal For England Have Changed Anything?

England's highly paid players played well and put in a good performance beating Germany 2-0. In the quarter final, England got revenge for Maradonna's Hand of God goal in 86' World Cup by beating Argentina on a penalty kick from a phantom handball by Messi in his own box...Oh wait, that was the dream, reality

1 England and USA - Whew!

Whew! Some background. I was born and lived in England for the first 30 years of my life. Watched all the World Cups over the years. Used to stay up late or get up early when young and when I started work, I used to take vacation time or suddenly become sick for a couple

15 Red and Yellow Cards - We Need a New System

I think it's time to rethink the archaic disciplinary system used in soccer all over the world. It just seems that the thin line between getting a yellow card or not or a red card or not, is just too fine when you consider the punishment. Let's take a look at a red card for

4 England - Just Not Good Enough

I don't want this to turn into a "England" blog, but once they are knocked out of the World Cup, that will be that, so I might as well say what I want to say now while I have the chance. In the cold light of day, and after sleeping on it, I have to

3 A Game of Two Halves

First, let's start with the Germany v Serbia game. Many people are saying it is a shock result. But I don't see it that way. Germany are okay but not as strong as the last two World Cups. They are young as well. I don't see them as a threat to win the whole thing

6 England - Delusions of Grandeur

Okay, I must admit, the England v USA game went pretty much as I expected. England playing poorly, USA playing better than many give them credit for and England finding a way to self destruct. As I said last week, England seem to only have one world class player (in form, which rules out Gerrard)

4 World Cup Memories

I'm getting World Cup fever. Not sure why, England always seem to find a way to disappoint. Here are some personal memories of the World Cups I have enjoyed. I was born in 1962, so I have no memories of England's win in 1966 and 1970 was the first World Cup I remember. 1970 -

1 How Will England Do In the World Cup?

There are a two main reasons (excuses) that England rarely do well in the World Cup or Euro Championships. I actually agree with both of them. Weather - The majority of the English season is spent in cool or cold temperatures with wind and rain. Obviously the training sessions are done in the same weather.

0 A Set Play That Works

I love set plays. Well, let me clarify that. I love well thought out set plays. They don't necessarily have to work because let's face it they don't always work. But the well thought out set plays show some creativity. Anything is better than the mind numbing default crosses from wide positions or shots from
