Book Your Football Trip
Travel to Dublin for the Nations Cup
In the olden days of international football, there weren’t 200+ national teams kicking the ball around – there were only the Home Nations. England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales were the combatants in the first real international football tournament – the Home Nations Tournament – which was held annually for 100 years, from 1884 to 1984. Ever since, these football-obsessed countries, missing their yearly rivalry matches, have been trying to organize the Home Nations again. The latest incarnation is the Nations Cup, which pits Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Northern Ireland against each other in a round-robin format in February and May.
The 2011 tournament is being held in Dublin. Book your flights and hotels now for the newest version of a football classic.

The Other Falcao Delights Again
Radamel might've made the big money move to the Principality, but he's still only the second best Falcao with a ball at his feet this side of Jupiter - it's anyone's guess from there. The Other Falcao, the futsal edition, is still going strong and probably the only somewhat known ...
Claudia Letizia Welcomes Rafa To Napoli
And she is very, very hospitable. Or welcoming. A quick Google will reveal...well it will reveal a lot. Such as Claudia is a very big fan of duck face, wet t-shirts, and more duck face. She's not a fan of clothing. This means she's like nearly every other Italian showgirl ...
The Problems Plaguing Brazil
If you've been paying attention to the pandemonium in Brazil, you might notice this football-mad country is pretty damn mad about some football, namely the World Cup (the Rio Olympics aren't helping either). Basically, just like everyone else who throws a big party, they're not happy with the costs and ...
Fun With Romanian Riot Police
Football is - sport in general, really - a great place for some creative hyperbole. "He shot it to the moon!" Well no, not really. "The defender has him in his back pocket." Diego Buonanotte or Maximiliano Moralez perhaps, but no one else. Today, we have a new one: "Boy, ...
Lecce Fans Really Wanted Promotion, Let Everyone Know
Given Lecce has spent recent times bouncing between Serie A and Serie B, the dungeons of Italian football, where they were placed for doing all sorts of scandalous Italian things, aren't quite acceptable. The fans let their displeasure be known after failing in the playoffs for promotion back to Serie ...
Sebastien Squillaci Becomes Clark Kent
Call it a week, call it a month, call it a summer. The battle is over. "Can I just stay here with you?" "Definitely not." One needn't have paid the slightest attention to Sebastien Squillaci's time at Arsenal to find the genius in this video. Every club should have one. [101gg] ...
This Year In Schadenfreude
The Guardian has gone and shaken some salt into several open wounds by unveiling the twenty worst sitter misses of 2012-13. There are some solid names on the list, including Barcelona's fresh new 50m+ signing, and they don't discriminate based on gender, either, with Nicoletta den Ridder is a solid ...
Aruban Goalkeepers Gone Wild
Ketchup and mustard kits aside (no corner taken on color richness), this little clip from Aruba has so much going for it. From the mere fact it's a goalkeeper goal, to the Marco Tardelli-esque celebration of unadultered joy and childlike innocent, to the complete meltdown at the end by the ...
