When presented with chances in its World Cup opener against Tunisia, England all too often swiped at the ball like over-eager schoolboys, rather than technically-proficient international stars.
Monday afternoon, England finally got their World Cup started. Going in we just didn’t know which England would show up. The talent is there. A bright young manager in the form of Gareth Southgate is there, and Harry Kane, the two-time Premier League Golden Boot winner, is their captain. Plus, facing off against Tunisia is about as nice of a draw as a nation can get.Of course, it wouldn’t be England without a little bit of drama. Early on, the Three Lions had chance after chance. For the...

The U.S. soccer legend made waves over the weekend by expressing his support for his country's historic rival.
Mexico defeating Germany Sunday seemingly set the stage for a potentially pressure-filled showdown between Sweden and South Korea. However, what would follow didn’t really live up to that. If you like a match full of fouls, we hope you didn’t miss this one. But if you slept through it, we don’t blame you for that either. This wasn’t for everybody.And that’s not to say Sweden didn’t create chances — because they did. But unlike Peru, who got mightily unlucky time after time...
The World Cup is in full swing now, soccer fans. And while Portugal/Spain did provide the match of the week last week, Saturday didn’t disappoint. Paul Pogba would hit a late winner (kind of) against Australia to secure three points for France. Lionel Messi didn’t convert a penalty that would’ve won Argentina the match. Meanwhile, Brazil stumbled and Germany lost their opener to Mexico. But now we turn to Group G, led by Belgium and England. A golden generation still looking to cash in...
We never know what we’re going to get from Belgium, but this is their golden generation with plenty of experience to point to now. This is the year they should make some waves, and while it took a little more than 45 minutes for them to do so, Belgium found their magic against a resolute Panama side — in their World Cup debut — on Monday.Belgium did start the match brightly, by the way. For the first 10 minutes or so, they looked as though they could score at will, but after that,...

The alternatives were for him to shave his head or dye his hair. Drinking the vodka is something he appears to find much easier to swallow.Panama is in Group G along with England, Belgium and Tunisia. England and Belgium...

He also explained why he has chosen to get behind Mexico after the US failed to qualify. Donovan was even...
Welcome to the 2018 World Cup, where the supposedly great nations are looking a little rusty. Germany would fall to Mexico earlier on Sunday, but now we’re talking about Brazil. And let’s get this out of the way right from the get go: Brazil didn’t look poor -- Germany did. In Brazil’s matchup against the Swiss, however — outside of a couple patches here and there — they did look rather ordinary.Neymar didn’t look fit, but that wasn’t entirely the problem. After a bright...
