I lost interest in international football after the Russia/Qatar fiasco….and not because England didn't get it either. FIFA is just so corrupt that FIFA sanctioned game-fixing to allow 'up-and-coming' footballing countries to participate is only a matter of time.

can't wait to see what security is going to be like for games featuring the US or England.  and, as mentioned previously, having israel qualify would be epic.  i bet that would mean stretching the definition of "the gulf" to include jordan or egypt.

Gerrard and Terry are fellow Englishmen but I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

I'm surprised that anybody splashed the cash on him. He should be playing in the Championship in my opinion. Nothing personal…I just don't rate him as a player.

Steven Pienaar poised to move from Everton to Tottenham…..


…and the rot continues at Stamford Bridge! They can't even attract mediocre players in the twilight of their careers anymore, even with that truckload 'o' money.
