Super Six for England as they ease past Panama

England Fancied to Pick Up Three Points in Czech Republic Clash

It’s been a perfect start for England in their Euro 2020 Qualifying group as they come here with four wins from four games. They have dominated proceedings so far, and are fancied to do exactly the same again when they face the Cezch Republic on Friday evening.

The one big positive for this team has certainly been goal scoring, they are just one goal off averaging five goals per game, which is an incredible total.

England Face Bulgaria In UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifier

The UEFA Euro 2020 qualification period is well underway, with a variety of nations having a really good chance at progressing into the tournament itself. The game we’re going to take a look at today is England vs Bulgaria which, in the eyes of many, is a bit of a David vs Goliath type of encounter. England are clearly the favourites and will thrive in front of the Wembley crowd, but Bulgaria’s sole objective will be to spoil the party in what could prove to be a really important game for them and their development as a unit.

England Can Push USA All The Way in World Cup Semi Final

The first semi final of the womens World Cup takes place on Tuesday night, with England taking on the USA. There is no doubt that the US womens team are the favourites here, they have the advantage both in terms of experience and in terms of quality within the squad. However, there is a lot to like about what England have done so far, and with that there is hope that they can cause what would be a real shock here and knock out the tournament favourites.

England Battle Norway For Place In World Cup Semi-Finals

We’re at the business end of the Women’s World Cup, and that can mean a lot of different things. Above all else, however, it means that we’re going to get the chance to witness some pretty elite level football in the next few games. The ‘elite eight’ have all been able to earn their place at this stage of the tournament, but you could argue that not all of them have shown us what they can do to their full potential.

England to Learn From Mistakes of First Game and Beat Romania

For 88 minutes of their opening U21 European Championships game, England will have been very happy. Although they were not fantastic, they played good football in parts and stood up to one of the best teams in the tournament in France. However, in the 89th minute and then again in stoppage time, the French scored and eventually won the game 2-1. A draw would have been a disappointing end after being ahead for so long,

Young Three Lions Can Take England to Nations League Final

Another big summer of football is about to begin for England. This won’t be as long as others, in fact, it will be over by Sunday, but there is at least one big game coming up for them, and a chance to win some silverware. Something that a lot of international teams struggle with is experience at winning big games and lifting trophies, unless they have a team full of successful club players. With the invention of the Nations League,

England Continue Euro 2020 Surge Against Montenegro

A lot of fans are already going to be pretty excited about domestic football returning next weekend, but there’s still a lot of intriguing international games for us to get through before then. The start of the UEFA Euro 2020 qualification period has certainly led to a great deal of interest and high level football being played across the continent, and we’re expecting that to continue. Not every country in Europe is going to have realistic ambitions of reaching the tournament,

England Set to Make a Perfect Start to Euro 2020 Qualifying

England have turned the corner as far as international football goes, and there is no doubt that there is a lot of talk about this team, both from the fans at home and from those around the world who have seen the change. England are a young, fresh and very talented team, who are likely to challenge for trophies for the next few years with the youthfulness of their squad.

After reaching the semi finals of the World Cup last summer,

England vs Croatia - World Cup Semi FInal

England Go Again During International Break

The international break is almost upon us once again as the football world issues a collective sigh, although in truth, it does feel like the fast paced action of domestic football means that we should have a break every so often. That point of view clearly isn’t unanimous across all different corners of the game and we can understand that, but perhaps opening your mind up to the possibility of accepting the international break would ensure that you enjoy it even more in the long run.

The Spanish Attempt To Run Through The English

The UEFA Nations League is in full swing, and that means that the games warranting the international break are coming thick and fast. Some of them may seem a little bit familiar to you, and that’s probably because the reverse fixture happened a couple weeks ago – but we don’t want to focus all too much on that. Instead, we want to look ahead to the future, and one of the games that we’re really looking forward to is Spain vs England as the Spanish attempt to keep pushing forward in search of reclaiming the European Championship that they lost just two years ago.

England Aim For Revenge Against Croatia

International football is back in our lives and while the World Cup has been and gone, and while the European Championships are still just under two years away, it feels like there’s a bit more excitement about the upcoming set of fixtures that there usually would be at this point in the season. Don’t get us wrong, most fans would still much rather see some domestic football this weekend, but given that this is a mandatory requirement it makes sense to just sit back and enjoy watching some of the world’s best players in a different kind of environment.

England Look Uneasy Favourites for Clash Against Swiss

England take on Switzerland in a friendly on Tuesday evening and the bookmakers have installed them as strong odds on favourites to win the game. While home advantage means they deserve to be favourites, the price on offer for an England win appears to really underestimate the abilities of Switzerland. Something else to consider here is that this game is a friendly and not a Nations League clash, so there is a good chance that these two will rest players and give others the chance to shine,
