Hodgson’s England Dare to Dream They Can Toil All the Way to Euro 2012 Glory

Take that purists. England have won their group and are through to the quarterfinals of Euro 2012. It wasn’t pretty. Theirs was not the way of the tiki-taka.

Why Mario Balotelli Is the Most Interesting Player to Watch at Euro 2012

Mario Balotelli walks into a bar. It’s a comedic setup with infinite possibilities.

U.S. international goalkeeper Tim Howard was back home in Manchester when I caught up with him on Thursday evening—tired and happy after playing a full part in Team USA’s hugely encouraging 1-0 win against Italy.

Wayne Rooney‘s moment of madness in Montenegro resulted in a three-match ban from UEFA yesterday—meaning England will be without their best player for the group stages of Euro 2012 next summer (pending appeal).
