THERE was a moment in the England v Colombia match last week which really got under my ribs. It was one of those moments where you sense an inevitable doom which will colour the coming months in a very negative light. My stomach fell away like an open lift shaft and,...
GOALKEEPERS seem to be all the rage at the moment. With the World Cup knockout stages getting off to a flyer, Sunday’s action left two Premier League ‘keepers with questions to answer. For Manchester United’s David de Gea those questions have mostly come from back in...

KYIV, the capital of Ukraine. An almost Orwellian-like civilisation steeped in tradition yet still evidently bearing the scars of past troubles. The suburban communities that surround the more familiar European city ambience near the Olympic Stadium were amassed in...
YOU play out scenarios in your head. You don’t want to but you can’t help it. What if this happens? What if that happens? How will you feel? How will you react? One thing this Liverpool team does better than anybody, though, is surprise you by coming up with a...
