The 2022 FIFA World Cup is just around the corner, but a host of elite Premier League players won't be plying their trade in Qatar come November. It's not their fault they will not enjoy the privilege of battling it out for the most coveted international title after their countries failed to qualify for the final tournament. While from a player's point of view, missing out on a quadrennial opportunity to feature in a World Cup is a complete disaster,…

We are already one-fifth of the way through the 2022/23 Premier League season and there’s been plenty for fans to debate since we got underway. Manchester City are the only unbeaten team after eight games and all the top betting sites in Ireland unsurprisingly make them favourites to win the title. Arsenal may have something to say about that after winning seven of their eight matches, while it is too early to write off several other teams. With that in…

For anyone who grew up during the 1990s watching the Irish national team, it must have seemed like they belonged at the top table of international competition. Unlucky not to make the semi-finals at Euro ‘88, they then qualified for two World Cups on the bounce, and racked up some significant scalps on their way. At the beginning of the new millennium, there they were again, one penalty shoot-out away from a quarter-final berth. For a good 14 years, Irish…

By Editor , 29th September 2022 at 4:25 PM (11v11 blog)

The more Manchester City play during the 2022/2023 season, the more it feels like the football world is getting closer to some much-needed answers about Jack Grealish’s role in the team. Namely, whether the attacking midfielder makes City better, with a particular focus on whether or not Grealish actually slows down the tempo of Pep Guardiola’s team.

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is just around the corner as defending champions France go into the tournament to become the first nation since Brazil to win back-to-back titles.

According to these odds from bestbettingsites.com, France are still the betting favourites for the tournament alongside Brazil and Argentina, but current evidence is not in their favour. Deschamps…

By Editor , 23rd September 2022 at 5:07 PM (11v11 blog)

The FIFA World Cup has been held by European countries for the past 16 years; Italy, Spain, Germany and France have each won its last four editions.
