Cape Verde’s 2-0 win over Portugal provided one of the more shocking scorelines of the international break. Mind you, Portugal weren’t fielding many of their top players in the friendly, but Odair Fortes still provided a wild highlight for the winners. Fortes scored a bizarre goal as his attempted cross managed to beat Eduardo Carvalho for the visitors’ first goal...

We return our attentions to club rugby this week after that thrilling climax to the Six Nations. The top domestic leagues are all getting set for the final push for the play-offs, and in some cases the rash of points we saw in the final weekend of the Six Nations continued. In France, there were bloody noses for the top two, and in the Pro 12 a ding-dong draw between two of the top four. It has been...

Less than 10 months ago, England met Italy on a sweaty night in Manaus, suffering a 2-1 defeat that set the tone for a very disappointing World Cup campaign. On Tuesday evening, the old European foes met once again in less tropical and less competitive circumstances: a friendly in Turin. The Azzurri are undefeated since returning from Brazil, and England went into the game on a run...

Netherlands beat Spain again on Tuesday evening, following up their World Cup group-stage win over the same opposition with a friendly victory by a 2-0 scoreline in the Amsterdam Arena. A fast start for the Dutch saw Stefan de Vrij head in Wesley Sneijder’s cross, before Davy Klaassen doubled the lead at the second attempt after just a quarter of an hour. Despite an improvement from Spain after...

Pre-match attention focused on Tottenham striker Harry Kane’s first full England cap, but it proved to be two other White Hart Lane players who would combine to earn a modicum of revenge for the 2014 World Cup loss as the Three Lions came from behind to earn a 1-1 friendly draw with Italy at Juventus Stadium. The Azzurri dominated the opening 45 minutes and were rewarded with a glancing...

Nothing like a defender trying to be a world-class attacker. But for the theatrics alone, Vincent Kompany, we thank you. During Belgium’s European qualifier against Israel on Tuesday, the Manchester City centre-back did a series of keepy-uppies with himself, then took an outlandish shot from distance. It went well past his target, but at least he got this momentary positional confusion out of...

Southampton striker Graziano Pelle scored a wonderful headed goal as Italy took a 1-0 lead over England on Tuesday in Turin. Pelle‘s glancing header redirected the ball just enough to beat England’s Joe Hart. England must have been hoping Premier League Pelle showed up to the match. Andros Townsend equalised for England, as the Tottenham man hit a wonderfully taken...

Stefan de Vrij gave the Dutch an early lead in their clash with Spain, heading home a well-taken header that froze Spain goalkeeper David de Gea. De Vrij rose up and met a perfect cross from Wesley Sneijder for the early advantage. It was deja vu for Spain early after being crushed by the Netherlands 5-1 in the World Cup, as the Dutch already led 2-0 inside of 20 minutes. Davy Klaassen...
