Remembering the Times
Goooooooaaaaaaalllllll!!! All everyone ever remembers is who scored the winning goal. The play that was being made. Or the moves of the strikers to get around the defender. So who remembers me?

The Old Firm
Finally, European football leagues have officially started: English Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Calcio Seria A. In this article I would like to digress a little from the league to another pressing issue(even though the big matches between Arsenal and Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are waiting for us this weekend).

Is the European dream over?
***This article was orginally written in November 2020*** Football has a huge following in Europe and around the world. Most of the world’s oldest (and largest) football clubs come from across Europe’s top 5 domestic leagues. Teams from England, Spain, Germany, France and Italy’s domestic leagues compete every year for millions of pounds in competition money in the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) Champions League. Lower leagues from Europe also enter the competition however never really have much chance against these elite teams, nor do they attract as much in the way of revenue or viewing figures. So, it comes as no surprise that once or twice every decade we start to hear the mutterings of a new European competition coming to replace the Champions League. A huge super competition that will see only Europe’s top football teams from across its leagues playing week in, week out. But is that really what we want to see from the future of football??

Football Is Life
It’s 2021, and we are slowly starting to catch up with what we missed last year. That includes the UEFA Euro 2020. Few things scream “normal life” more than football. The buzz of people supporting a common goal that isn’t Covid-related. The energy of their hope and the spirit of their bond.

Why are Mexico's Fans Rowdy?
As I sit here looking over the field of play, the game long over, the green grass still in my cleats, with grass stains on my uniform. I look over at my opponents who are very good in themselves. They look impressive in their green uniforms. They have dominated us in the past, beaten us at every turn. But this year was different, we beat Mexico a month ago in Denver and the fans of Mexico didn't like it so they threw items at us, one of our players was hit in the side of the head with a frozen bottle of water.
