Ethan Horvath Is the Solution to USMNT’s Goalkeeping Issues

Over the last few years, the position of goalkeeper has been an uncharacteristic weakness for the United States. Having moved so smoothly from Brad Friedel and Kasey Keller through to Tim Howard, it’s quite remarkable to see head coach Jurgen Klinsmann rooting around for an in-form shot-stopper. Howard’s drop in form post-World Cup 2014 was a hammer blow, and while some celebrated... 

Gareth Southgate’s Tactical Acumen Can Lead to Unlikely England Success

For the second time in as many months, England head into a World Cup qualifying fixture with a new manager at the helm. The Football Association is going to take its time over appointing a successor to Sam Allardyce, spending a portion of this season talking to experts and combing them for advice; in the meantime, Gareth Southgate will step up from under-21 duty to lead his nation. He’s a rather... 

Sam Allardyce Faces 3 Huge Decisions Ahead of Slovakia vs. England

The first international break of the season is always a painful one—it comes at an incredibly awkward juncture and, many feel, serves to stomp out the flow of recently returned league football—but this break will be particularly worrisome for England fans. Like it or not, the Sam Allardyce reign kicks in fully on Saturday at 5 p.m. BST, as his Three Lions side travel to Trnava to play Slovakia... 

Should Roy Hodgson Gamble on John Stones for England at Euro 2016?

With the dust settling over the initial announcement of England’s 26-man preliminary squad for Euro 2016, we can begin to dissect what the inclusions (and exclusions) mean for the tournament. Yes, Theo Walcott is out and yes, Marcus Rashford has been added to the group to gain experience, but let’s dig a little deeper into what some of Roy Hodgson’s tough decisions mean. Running the... 

How Will England and Roy Hodgson Cope Without Danny Welbeck at Euro 2016?

It was all going so smoothly…too smoothly, if anything. Leading up to the week of Roy Hodgson’s squad announcement, England’s preparation for UEFA Euro 2016 could hardly have been any better. Ten wins from 10 in the qualification group—the only nation to do so—a remarkable 3-2 comeback victory in Berlin against Germany and a subtle inference that Wayne Rooney may not start... 

England vs. Netherlands: Winners and Losers from International Friendly

England slumped to a disappointing 2-1 loss to the Netherlands at Wembley on Tuesday, firmly killing the buzz generated by the dramatic comeback victory over Germany on Saturday. Are the Three Lions good or not? It seems we can’t tell, and the players don’t really know either. Jamie Vardy finished a brilliant team move to put the hosts ahead just before half-time, but in the second half...

Why Simply Playing Tottenham’s Stars at Euro 2016 Cannot Be England’s Strategy

Managing a national team can’t be easy; once every several months you have to pick a squad of 20-something players, and no matter what you do, or who you pick, people will disagree with your choices. Roy Hodgson, and every England manager before him, has been perpetually trapped between trying to reward good form with an international call-up and trying to provide a semblance of familiarity at... 

Will Ross Barkley, Not Dele Alli, Be England’s Wild Card at Euro 2016?

If it’s possible to have two breakout seasons inside four years, Ross Barkley has managed it. 2015-16 has been a season for him to remember so far on a personal level, and his performances for Everton have put him in the England picture ahead of this summer’s European Championships. His six goals and seven assists from 23 starts in the Premier League this season paint a picture of production.... 

England vs. France: Winners and Losers from International Friendly

England earned their first victory over France since 1997 on Tuesday, with Dele Alli and Wayne Rooney goals sealing a 2-0 win on an emotional night at Wembley. A minute’s silence in respect and remembrance of those whose lives were lost during the Paris attacks last week was impeccably observed, and the home fans joined in singing France’s national anthem La Marseillaise (as best they could)...
