England’s Euro 2016 charge has gotten off to a bad start already, with the manager coming under pressure before a ball is even kicked in the qualification campaign—and now star striker Daniel Sturridge is set to miss the opening fixture against Switzerland through injury.

Italian Grand Prix 2014: B/R Experts Predict Pole, Race Winner and More

The summer break is over, and the title run-in to the 2014 Formula One continues with the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. The iconic circuit is the last stop in Europe before the Asian swing starts, and the power demands of the circuit should in theory favour Mercedes. But all eyes will be on Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg after their clash in Belgium effectively ended the Brit’s race and hurt... 

Pressure on Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey to Succeed Where Giggs Failed for Wales

Ryan Giggs seemed to play forever for Manchester United, yet almost never for Wales. In a 24-year professional career that saw him represent United 963 times, Giggs made just 64 appearances for his national team. To put that into some sort of context, James Milner is already on 49 caps for England—and he only made his debut five years ago. Injury was a contributing factor in Giggs’ limited... 

Italy: How the Azzurri Already Look Different in Antonio Conte’s First Match

Antonio Conte took his first bow as the head coach of the Italian national team on Thursday night in Bari. What a bow it was. Playing against a Netherlands side that was, minus Arjen Robben and the injured Ron Vlaar, playing their top XI, Italy dominated the match from the first whistle.  The Dutch were limited to four shots—just one hitting the target—while the Azzurri struck at goal...

How Italy vs. Netherlands Reflected Well on Van Gaal’s World Cup Performance

It was supposed to be the beginning of an exciting new era for the Dutch national team. In reality, though, it was anything but a dream start. Playing their first international friendly under the leadership of new manager Guus Hiddink, the Netherlands lost 2-0 against Italy on Thursday night. The outcome of the match was somewhat of anomaly. After barely 10 minutes of playing time, Dutch defender Bruno... 

World Football Notebook Heading into the International Weekend

If winning the World Cup is the pinnacle of the game, at least at international level, then once that summit has been ascended, what exactly is the incentive to continue, to pursue further glory? As a player, of course, there is always another game to play, another competition to win. Trophies are there to be won, then defended, then won again until age will not permit you to do it anymore. For managers,...

Daniel Hourcade’s team features five changes to the line-up that came so agonisingly close to turning the Springboks over in Salta.
