Frys.com Open 2012: Day 2 Leaderboard Updates, Highlights and More

Day 2 of the Frys.com Open saw some movement atop the leaderboard. John Mallinger made the biggest splash of the day, shooting a nine-under 62 to finish at -14.

England vs. San Marino: Complete Player Ratings for Roy Hodgson’s Men

The last time England met San Marino came in a qualifier for the 1994 World Cup that ended 7-1 in the Three Lions’ favour. Sadly, almost two decades later, San Marino’s position on the global scale hasn’t improved, and England were expected to send the visitors packing from Wembley in a very comfortable position. However, in order to do so, Roy Hodgson still needed his men to perform... 

England vs. San Marino: 6 Things We Learned at Wembley in Easy 5-0 Win

England picked up their second victory in qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil with a routine, straight-forward 5-0 win over San Marino. Despite the away side—the lowest FIFA-ranked nation in Europe—packing the defence for the entire 90 minutes and vary rarely venturing over the halfway line, England managed to find a way through five times in the final hour of the match. Wayne... 

England 5-0 San Marino as Valid as Any Other World Cup Qualifier

Rarely has there been less enthusiasm for an England international among the members of the media than there was for Friday night’s World Cup qualifier against San Marino at Wembley. Plenty of column inches were devoted to how pointless the match was, how the tiny landlocked republic didn’t deserve to be playing the fifth best team in the world. The ragtag bunch of semi-professionals, drawn... 

Reus Can Exceed Oezil & Other Things to Take from Germany’s Drubbing of Ireland

After two unconvincing wins against the Faroe Islands and Austria, Germany kicked their World Cup Qualifying campaign into top gear on Friday as they hammered Ireland in Dublin. Marco Reus had a first half brace, substitute Toni Kroos added two more after the halftime break and Mesut Özil and Miroslav Klose both hit the target for the Germans. Andy Keogh scored for the hosts at the death, but... 

England: Tom Cleverley Is Becoming an Integral Part of Roy Hodgson’s Plans

Tom Cleverley is beginning to make an impact. The Manchester United player has become a critical part of Roy Hodgson‘s England plans recently and his performance in the 5-0 win over San Marino underlines a player who has grown in confidence across recent weeks. Victory against San Marino shouldn’t be celebrated too readily. Only Liechtenstein have suffered defeat against the minnows. The... 

Wayne Rooney Relishes New Role as England Top San Marino in World Cup Qualifier

The five goals will impress, and the quest for qualification will steam toward Eastern Europe full of fresh confidence. But even considering the artistry of Danny Welbeck’s cheeky flick, it was a workmanlike win that deserves no more or less the title of a job done. That’s appropriate enough. The buildup to England’s 5-0 victory over tiny San Marino on Friday in UEFA Group H qualifying... 

England vs. San Marino: Score, Twitter Reaction, Grades and More

San Marino came to Wembley with their eyes on picking up a point in World Cup Qualification. As it turned out, even getting a shot on goal was problematic. England out-shot the minnows 32-1 and secured a 5-0 victory on Friday. None of San Marino’s shots were on-goal. The Three Lions were a bit slow to get going and had to wait until the 35th minute to open the scoring; Wayne Rooney confidently... 

Armenia vs. Italy: 5 Things We Learned from the Azzurri World Cup Qualifying Win

Italy stuttered to a 3-1 victory in Yerevan against a spirited Armenia side. Goals from Daniele De Rossi and Pablo Osvaldo sealed the victory after Henrikh Mkhitaryan had earlier equalised Andrea Pirlo’s opener.
