Can England Go On To Win The Euros?

 The Three Lions have dazzled in

the 2020-turn-2021 edition of the

Euro, which has seen the likes of

France, Portugal, Germany, and

Croatia beaten in the build-up to

the semi-finals. Football has always

been a big deal in England, a

country that is credited for the

invention of football, which is

known in North America,

particularly the United States of

America, as soccer.

Disappointments in major

tournaments over the past decades

have left the English football fans

helpless despite boasting some of

the world’s most exciting

footballers on the global stage. A

team consisting of Steven Gerrard,

young Wayne Rooney, Rio

Ferdinard, Frank Lampard, and

many Premier League stars

couldn’t inspire their country to win

a major trophy. That generation is

regarded as the golden generation

in England but a lot of factors away

from football could have

contributed to why that generation

failed to live up to expectations.

A lot of things have been said

about this England team for so

long. That generation failed,

indisputably, but the new

generation of players is making all

the difference. This England team,

led by the wonderful Harry Kane,

has performed tremendously in this

tournament, keeping clean sheets in

all the seven games they’ve played

so far. Maybe playing some of their

games in Wembley back at home

has helped so far, but what’s also

noteworthy is the team spirit within

that England squad. Hopes have

been raised, with the supposed

“golden generation”. having voiced

their happiness in the wake of

England’s qualification to the semi-

final to set a clash with Denmark.

Finally, the England fans have their

hopes up as Denmark is seen as

the underdog against a team that

hasn’t conceded a goal so far in the

tournament. “Football is finally

coming home,” England fans raved

on social media after beating

Ukraine to book their spot in the

last four. The big question,

however, remains; is football really

coming home?

Benfica confirm €126m Atletico Madrid bid for Joao Felix

Image
The Portuguese club have revealed that the Spanish outfit have placed a massive bid on the young striker, though it has yet to be accepted.  Benfica   have confirmed that a €126 million (£113m/$143m) bid has been made for star forward Joao Felix by   Atletico Madrid .    The Spanish side are looking to rebuild after a number of big-name players, including Antoine Griezmann, confirmed they would be leaving the club this summer, and 19-year-old Felix, who has been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, is clearly part of the club's plan moving forward. Benfica have made clear in a statement released on Wednesday evening that they are considering the offer, but that nothing had yet been accepted. Though the bid is in excess of Felix's €120m release clause, Atletico's insistence that the fee is paid over installments means that Benfica are within their rights to reject the offer. Felix has impressed in his native  Portugal , scoring 15 goals and registering nine assists in jus

Nigeria Vs Germany, I Hope it Won't Be A Match Decided Before Any Ball Has Been Kicked.

Easy with the bashing that will come with this post please. I know I'm meant to be patriotic and optimistic about today's match but in all honesty, I'm only being realistic. Kudos to Dennerby the tactician and the girls for a great work so far, From the experience of Onome Ebi, to Ordega's Work rate, Ayinde's composure, Chikwelu Tenacity and of course to the the best two things to have ever happened to the falcons so far this tournament, talking about the break out of Okeke and Chiamaka Nnadozie. So far the whole squad has done nothing wrong In my eyes. You can't win games by defending alone, you've got to score too. When you have the ball, you have to try to play, according to the qualities of your team. The last time I checked, we came to France with just five defenders, so what happen to the nine forwarders we've got. We've got pacy forwards in Oshoala and Ordega but I don't see us utilising that to our advantage. We sit in too deep and I th
