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 …
Bukayo Saka
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. Most, if not all, had England had favourites going into the game against Iran but even the optimists could not have foreseen a six-goal thumping. A lot was talked about …
Is the steam finally starting to run out of the Arsenal juggernaut? They are strong, but do they need to be stronger? Or are they just experiencing minor hiccups along a long, long road? Arsenal succumbed to only their 2nd defeat of the season against PSV on Thursday in the Europa League. 2-0 was the …

And the games keep on coming. The midweek PL GW12 has only just gotten done and we’re already writing an FPL preview for GW13. Oh, but we’re not complaining. Love me a bit of good old Barclays. Before we go further, a moment of silence, and a moment of laughter, for this person. For those …
Hosted at the Theatre du Chatelet, France Football’s Ballon d’or ceremony was a star-studded event. The historic venue’s halls were filled by some of the biggest names in football history, representing numerous clubs from all across Europe. Despite missing out on the major awards, the Premier League had strong representation, especially through Liverpool and Manchester …
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 …
It is almost customary to stock up on players from top-table clubs in your FPL teams. After all, these are the ones that are scoring consistently, keeping clean sheets, and putting in good performances. Of course, that is not to say that players from other clubs are universally ignored. But rarely will you find an …
Averaging 3.75 goals per game, Sunday’s Premier League action was a feast for the attackers and a nightmare for the defenders. None of the 8 teams playing managed to keep a clean sheet, ensuring that everyone who decided to spend the day staying in had a fun watch. Following on from our Saturday analysis on …
Wembley recently played host to a massive fixture, as the USWNT came up against the England Women.

The figure reflects the growing popularity of women’s football, and for good reason too, as the game was …
Every year, EA Sports introduces a new instalment to their FIFA football franchise video game. The future of the FIFA brand is in doubt, but the controversy around rating cards is here to stay.

With about a week to go for the summer transfer window to slam shut, it wouldn’t be premature to deem Arsenal as the winners of the window so far. Orchestrated by Technical director Edu Gaspar, the Gunners have made a string of smart signings that are already proving their worth. Formerly of Manchester City, the …
There are only a handful of players in the world who enjoy the same limelight and success both on and off the field. And it’s only fair if some young player is rewarded or acknowledged for his monumental rise in the world of football. For now, it’s Arsenal blistering forward, Bukayo Saka, who has caught …
The eternal rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur was on display yet again when a YouTube channel named ‘We are Tottenham TV’ invited a couple of fans from both sides to make a combined 11 before the second North London Derby of the season in the Premier League.
