As the International Champion’s Cup draws to a close we can only wonder at the “expert’s” comments that a team, travelling half way round the world to play another team located 30 miles away in England, can benefit from such a trip.

Other than money, for example, is there any reason why Manchester United and Liverpool would fly reserve teams to Michigan for a game of football!?

The tournament is played over three continents with some of the clubs never playing each other despite the fact that it isn’t a knockout competition. (more…)

FBL-ENG-PR-MAN UTD-LEICESTER

Manchester United have, reportedly, made a bid for Harry Maguire. The bid is in the region of ÂŁ65 million which is the value they have placed on him having had a reasonably successful World Cup.

According to experts, whoever they may be, he was actually worth ÂŁ25 million before his escapades in Russia and is now worth ÂŁ50 million so maybe Ed Woodward knows something we don’t or maybe he is just throwing an extra ÂŁ15 million in to make sure the deal happens. (more…)

Mesut Ă–zil has retired from international football. Not for the usual reasons of being too old, or too slow or even too good.

What did he expect? Whilst we deplore all racism there was bound to be some reaction to such a thoughtless action.

ErdoÄźan is head of the oppressive government which has been accused of human rights abuses as well as being outspoken about German politics. (more…)

(Harry opens the scoring but it isn’t Kane, it’s Maguire!)

So the final match in England’s bid to reach their first World Cup semi-final since 1990 got underway today. After a cagey opening twenty minutes or so England grew into the game. Sweden didn’t really threaten at all in the first half and it was no real surprise when an Ashley Young corner was headed powerfully into the net by Harry Maguire.

They would have scored at least another goal, if not more, had they had someone other than Raheem Sterling on the pitch. He dithered, dallied, lost the ball, made the wrong decisions and was almost personally responsible for the score only being 1-0 at half-time.

He hasn’t yet scored at this tournament and, on the only occasion he was dropped in favour of Marcus Rashford, the United player looked a lot better in the role. (more…)
