England‘s World Cup ambitions ended in familiar sights of tears and broken aspirations as the curse of missed penalties came to haunt them.

Bukayo Saka has made himself indispensable to Gareth Southgate’s vision of the English football team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup very quickly.

Although the FIFA 2022 World Cup was not without its fair share of controversy in the run-up to the competition, now that the tournament has kicked off, it’s safe to say that the focus is very much on football once again. And while it is still very much early days in the competition, the group …
At only 21 years of age, Bukayo Saka has already played for Arsenal’s senior team for five seasons, has been capped 22 times for England and won two trophies in the FA Cup and the Community Shield. He has also been named his club’s player of the season for two years in a row and …
England have had a confusing start to the World Cup. They won their first game by absolutely demolishing Iran 6-2, but then went on to draw 0-0 against the USA in a pretty boring game. The first game had all the English stars finding the spotlight for themselves, with Saka scoring 2, Bellingham scoring the …
The highly awaited clash between England and the USA made for a tedious watch, and eventually finished 0-0. The Three Lions fielded an unchanged side from their emphatic win against Iran, and naturally, many expected them to sprint to victory against the Americans in a similar fashion. However, the game itself was far from a …
After a snooze-fest opening game between Ecuador and Qatar, the second match was exactly what was needed to pump some life into this World Cup.

If there’s a word apt enough to encapsulate Arsene Wenger as an individual, it is ‘pioneer’. The Frenchman notably brought free-flowing football to English shores, which helped transcend the Premier League into what it is today. He also introduced dietary rules and restrictions for all his players, a practice which has now become commonplace throughout …
