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.

For all of the dates, check our Nations Cup fixtures list.

For Love Or Football

"Footballer asked to give up honeymoon for new club." Admit it - first thoughts center around the wife and a reaction worthy of any reality shows in which a new bride or bride-to-be seem like a good candidate for a rubber room and a key which gets mysteriously lost for...ever. Tim Ream ...

Bayern Munich Signs The Common Man

High up on the list of things no to do with football fans is to promise the unveiling of a big new signing and then fail to follow through. Worse is to promise a big signing and then come through with someone who won't even find the end of the ...

Jose Being Jose, In A Parking Lot

That's Jose after last night's Clasico, hanging out in the Camp Nou parking lot next to the referee's car. He's not waiting to tell him how much he enjoyed his performance or beg him for the maker of his cologne, I can tell you that much. Google Translate can do ...

Cristiano Throws A Clasico-Sized Fit

A Clasico which lived up to its name? But of course. And Cristiano was seen off the ball throwing what should now be one of his toddler tantrums? But of course. It's not one of his finest, in fact it'd have a hard time cracking his top five, but it's nice to ...

Mirandes: This Year's Cinderella

Despite the nonsense about some other matchup in the Copa del Rey right now - can't quite remember the names of those rather insignificant teams at the moment - the real story is not east, not west, but down. Way down in the third division. Mirandes, a humble little club ...

Overhead To The Head

Thee Balotelli stamp seems to be making its way round the internet quite soundly right now, but there was a far more vicious boot to the head in Europe this weekend which probably won't see any pop remixes anytime soon. Dorge Kouemaha of Kaiserslautern went to clear a ball out ...

Fly, Fly Away With Diego

When Al Wasl paid a hefty sum of money to Diego Maradona to lead their team, they did so not with the idea of getting the next great football coach, but with the idea that he'd be part coach, part entertainer, occasionally part circus clown. He rarely disappoints, if he ...

Spicing Up The Official Club Page

When you're a Brazilian club of the third division and you're starved for hits on your website, there are only two possible options: i. Hire a spammer. ii. Porn. Brasiliense has opted for choice number two, decking out their club website with adult-oriented imagery of females in various states of undress. And ...
