Film Focus: How Mismatched England Were Condemned to 2-0 Defeat by Chile

England came to Wembley Stadium. Chile came ready to play. It might have only been a friendly for the Three Lions, but still their 2-0 defeat at home to the hands of the South Americans was, at the least, a big wake-up call. Many will want to point out here that this was simply a “makeshift” squad from England, which it was, but it must also be noted that the same went for their opponents... 

GIF: Franck Ribery Doesn’t Like Being Petted on the Head

Edit: Looks like this GIF was from Euro 2012, not Friday’s match. Still funny, less timely.   Ukraine beat France 2-0 in last night’s World Cup Qualifying play-off, putting Les Blues in a perilous position ahead of the decisive second leg. That said, Franck Ribery may have been more upset about former teammate Anatoliy Tymoshchuk petting him on the head in the tunnel. OK, probably... 

Wales vs. Argentina Rugby 2013: Prediction, Preview and Key Players

Both in a losing patch of form, Wales and Argentina face off at the Millennium Stadium this weekend hoping to turn recent performances around. Wales’ November series didn’t get off to the start that Warren Gatland would have liked to see last weekend, his side eventually outshone by Heyenke Meyer’s South Africa. Argentina, meanwhile, could not muster the second-half comeback that... 

Ukraine vs. France: Changes Both Teams Should Make for Playoff Second Leg

A World Cup without France is now looking like a distinct possibility, as Didier Deschamps’ men slumped to a 2-0 defeat to Ukraine in Kiev. The onus is on France to make something happen in the second leg, but a red card apiece means both teams will be forced to make changes. Laurent Koscielny conceded a penalty, then capped off a poor evening by receiving a red card for raising his arms to Oleksandr... 

Ireland vs. Australia Rugby 2013: Prediction, Preview and Key Players

Coming off the back of a respectable pair of wins, both Ireland and Australia have reason to be upbeat about this Saturday’s meeting at the Aviva Stadium.  While Joe Schmidt’s side got their November Test series off to a fine start with a 40-9 mauling of Samoa, the Wallabies bounced back from their England defeat with a rousing 50-20 win over Italy. The task in Dublin could be the... 

England vs. New Zealand Rugby 2013: Prediction, Preview and Key Players

England take to the Twickenham stage on Saturday hoping to notch back-to-back wins over New Zealand for just the second time in their history. But it’s a tall order for Stuart Lancaster and his men, who are coming up against a team currently reigning as world champions, unbeaten in this calendar year and riding a wave of dominance which may be yet to reach its crest. Steve Hansen’s side... 

Japan vs. Netherlands: International Friendly Live Score, Highlights, Recap

Iceland vs. Croatia: Changes Both Teams Should Make for Playoff Second Leg

Iceland and Croatia were the only World Cup UEFA playoff participants not to produce a goal between them on Friday evening. The Rio hopefuls saw out a goalless draw in Reykjavik as the hosts survived a second half played mostly with just 10 men following the sending off of Olafur Ingi Skulason. Seeing out a scrappy affair in the first leg, both sides will be hoping things improve on their way to Zagreb... 

Greece vs. Romania: Changes Both Teams Should Make for Playoff Second Leg

Greece will take a comfortable lead to Bucharest after triumphing 3-1 over Romania in the first leg of their World Cup playoff. Konstantinos Mitroglou bagged a goal either side of Dimitris Salpingidis’ strike at the Stadios Georgios Karaiskaki to put Fernando Santos’ team in pole position to secure a place at the 2014 showpiece. But the Romanians gave themselves a sniff after Bogdan Stancu...
