A couple of days ago, England took on Montenegro, and drew 0-0. I’m pleased we didn’t liveblog it, because it was boring. England probably should have won, and were denied a stonewall penalty, but there was a distinct lack of chances created by England, and we sort of settled for 0-0 late on.
Of course [...]

So that was good. Supposedly the hardest game in the group, against the team that beat the current World Champions, away, and we picked up a pretty convincing win. The Swiss had a couple of good spells that made Hart look awkward at the back, and Xherdan Shaqiri scored an absolute screamer, but for long [...]

So…the Wayne Rooney affair. If you’ve been living under a rock (or as I had been over the weekend, somewhere away from the internet), it was widely reported in the press that England’s talismanic striker had indulged in some extra martial business, with a prostitute, while his wife was pregnant. Fabio Capello is going to [...]

Get your England Shirts in our online store.
Well this is unexpected.

Peter Saville, who you might know as the man who designed the sleeves to some of Factory Records most iconic sleeves has been working on a new England shirt, which the team will run out in against Bulgaria on Friday.

So England’s Euro 2012 Campaign kicks off on Friday against a (thankfully Berbatov less) Bulgaria, and the main thing is…well the squad is decimated.

Not too shocking, I don’t think, especially after Roy Hodgson was made Liverpool manager yesterday – but the FA have confirmed Fabio Capello is staying on as England manager.
Tentatively, I’m okay with this. Sure, Capello made mistakes during this World Cup, and he wasn’t the only one who was to blame. But if he’s [...]

Obviously we’re all focused on World Cup 2010. How can we not be?
But whatever England achieve in South Africa, life and football will continue afterwards, and from September 2010 we’ll begin our attempt to qualify for Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine. The groups for Euro 2012 qualifying were drawn today, and we made out [...]
