Again, apologies for the headline but fear not I'll be brief again on this post.

With the latest fuss conerning Sir Alex Ferguson's selection of the youngsters, Gary Neville has
moved to defend the players, claiming he doesn't see them as just kids.
22-year-old Darron Gibson has 5 caps for Ireland, whilst 21-year-old Jonny Evans has 19 caps for

No, don't get too excited. It won't happen before South Africa, and it may not happen ever but
Goal.com is reporting that the FFF are trying to woo Blanc to replace Raymond after World Cup 2010

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has revealed he turned down an invitation from Fabio Capello to
return to the England set-up.
Carragher, 31, won 34 caps for his country but announced his international retirement in the summer
of 2007.
However, with encouragement from club captain Steven Gerrard he initially agreed to meet Capello's

The tantalising reality this evening is that Forest weren't actually that good. The Tom Finney
curtain which Preston brought instead of travelling supporters might as well have been a white flag
of surrender. For the second successive home game we witnessed a trembling opposition step out of
our path, doff their caps and usher us merrily [.
Bob Bradley has called on 30 players to take part in the US Men's training camp in preparation for

USA goalkeeper Zach Thornton will be the oldest player at 36.
So check this sh*t out. From the looks of things the renovations of B.C. Place won't be completed
in time for the kick off of the 2011 MLS season so the 'Caps (along with CFL side B.C. Lions) will
pitch a tent, so to speak, on the grounds of the old Empire Stadium in the form of the $20m
temporary stadium you see above.
Landon Donovan is now clear to join Everton on January 2nd after getting work permit approval from

country's National Team games over the previous two years.

spent months on the sidelines, told Sky Sport 24.
