England face Ukraine for the second time in a matter of months on Tuesday, this time in a World Cup qualifying match for the 2014 finals in Brazil. After a 5-0 win in Moldova, England are top of the group early on, with Ukraine not having started their campaign yet. This will be a far more demanding test of England’s attacking prowess and defensive organisation, which was at times lacking against...

Boca is back, the boss is bursting with confidence and suddenly free kicks are all anyone wants to talk about. The United States men’s national team is ready for its rematch against Jamaica in Columbus, Ohio. So ready, in fact, that manager Jurgen Klinsmann is refusing to consider the possibility of losing. “No, we won’t (lose),” Klinsmann told reporters Monday (Associated Press...

The Netherlands will travel to Budapest for an important, albeit very early World Cup 2014 qualifier against Hungary. They managed to pick up a win in manager Louis van Gaal’s first competitive match since he took over as national team coach a second time. It’s imperative that the Netherlands start to build up the momentum that was lost during Euro 2012, when they famously or infamously,...

England is hosting Ukraine for a 2014 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, and it promises to be nothing short of an incredibly exciting match. These two teams met at Euro 2012 in a thrilling contest that the Three Lions ended up victorious in with a final score of 1-0, thanks to Wayne Rooney’s brilliance. Ukraine will be out for revenge, and hoping to start the qualification for just the second World...

The last time France and Belarus met in Euro 2012 qualifying back in 2010, the Belarusian side shocked Les Blues, beating them 1-0. I wouldn’t expect a repeat of that result this time around. France responded to that loss with a 23-game unbeaten streak, only to fall in the quarterfinals at this summer’s Euros. Surely, this French side will not make the mistake of underestimating Belarus...
