Kalvin Phillips was one of England’s stand-out performers throughout the 2020 European Championship. The Leeds United man covered a total of 83 kilometres in the competition, and acted as the much-needed marathon runner in the history-making English contingent who reached a first major international final after 55 years–but his most important sprint was one which …
Although England would have preferred to have eventually won the shootout against Italy, they did manage to score the best penalty of the lot.

In what turned out to be one of the most brutal moments of the final, Giorgio Chiellini stopped Bukayo Saka in his tracks with the kind of tackle which is now banned in the NFL. It was simply not to be England’s night at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. Italy triumphed over the Three Lions in …
22-year-old Donnarumma’s heroics in the penalty shoot-out secured European glory for Roberto Mancini’s men, who could claim that they deserved their fate after being the strongest side in the competition all month long.

Football was meant to come home this summer, but instead, it went to Rome–as proudly masqueraded by none other than the experienced Italian defender Leonardo Bonucci, who made sure to rub it in the English faces. Gianluigi Donnarumma’s heroics under the crossbar ensured that the Azzurri reigned supreme, as Roberto Mancini’s experienced unit got the …
Football did not come home after all, as Italy were the cause of England’s heartbreak in the 2020 European Championship final at Wembley Stadium.

The Euro 2020 final between England and Italy is not off to the best start if the stadium security is concerned. English fans broke the makeshift barriers and tried to enter the Wembley Stadium without a ticket to attend the game. The police seem outnumbered and were unable to stop the mob from penetrating the …
Nicolas Otamendi wasn’t having any of Neymar’s horseplaying on the night. The rock-solid Argentina defender was caught on camera yanking the Brazilian superstar off the ground in one of the highlights of Argentina’s Copa America triumph on Sunday. Argentina won their first major trophy in 28 years after Angel Di Maria locked into a terrific …
Angel Di Maria snapped Argentina’s 28-year drought without a major title with a goal worthy of being associated with the feat.

Paul Pogba is one of the best dribblers in the game, and his ability to take on a shot from outside the box is mostly unparalleled in the world right now. In addition to that, the Manchester United midfielder seems to be a decently good player in at least one other sport–Pogba showed off his …
Thibaut Courtois is usually on the other end of shots throughout the year, as the Real Madrid and Belgium goalkeeper is known for trying to keep his sheet clean for both club and country. But the custodian was the one taking the shots in what seems to be one of the most random football beef …

Early speculation about the move has resulted in comparisons with their midfield man James Milner, most of …
Lionel Messi put on a signature dribbling masterclass as Argentina defeated Colombia on penalties to book their spot in the 2021 Copa America final against eternal rivals Brazil. The Argentina captain rolled back the years and showed that he has still got it, as he shrugged off much larger Colombian defenders as if it meant …
England delivered a masterclass in game management deep in extra time as the Three Lions put together a 54-pass, 11 player move to keep the ball away from Denmark.
