Football’s pace is often frantic, regularly measured, and sometimes even slowed to a crawl depending on the game’s flow. But regardless of how tempo is dictated by opposing companies, one fundamental principle of the sport shines... read article
Giovanni Trapattoni's Ireland were knocked from the World Cup thanks to an outrageous hand-ball from Thierry Henry. The Boys in Green need to recover, but do you think they'll have the mentality to go to Euro 2012?
A lot of people will argue that Darren Bent deserves to be in the England squad jetting off to the World Cup in South Africa in June and they may have a point. He's scored half of Sunderland's goals this season and is one of the top scorers in the league at lowly Sunderland. Should Capello call him up?
Darren Bent is nearing 30 league goals for the season, an amazing feat for a side that are just about avoiding the relegation flight. As for Tottenham, Defoe isn't doing too badly either, with his side chasing the final Champions league spot. If you were Capello, who's on your list? Defoe or Bent?!
Paul Robinson was left out of Capello's provisional squad, the chosen keepers were Joe Hart, Robert Green and David James. His manager, Sam Allardyce, was shocked by the decision: "I think that if you look at his form for Blackburn Rovers, there's not a better English goalkeeper who has consistently performed as well as he has. So it clearly can't be anything else other than something that Fabio has against him."
The USA squad is heading to Princeton, New Jersey, for a final training camp before coach Bob Bradley has to cut his 30-man preliminary squad down to the final 23. The key question mark surrounds the fitness of Milan defender Oguchi Onyewu, who has not played since October. Up front Hull's Jozy Altidore is guaranteed to make the final cut, with MLS top-scorer Edson Buddle, Mexico-based Herculez Gomez, Charlie Davies, Robbie Findley, Brian Ching and Eddie Johnson fighting it out for the remaining spots.
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque sprung three surprises in his 23-man squad for the World Cup in South Africa, with no place for veteran midfielder Marcos Senna as Barcelona pair, both Victor Valdes and Pedro have secured a place in Spain's 23-man squad for the World Cup finals.

Argentina said goodbye to their home fans before their World Cup trip with a 5-0 thrashing of Canada. Maxi Rodriguez and Carlos Tevez contributed goals for Argentina's win with a convincing performance despite their rivals' obvious weakness.
