    Demon slaying England have come of age at Euro 2020 but it needs to come home or else it might never

    Let’s be honest, the last year has been crap. Sure, we haven’t had to endure a world war that devastated a world, a civil war that could potentially destroy a country or even a dictatorship like one the world has never seen before. But this is the modern world and thus we’ve had a modern issue.

    Why your team will suck at the Euro 2020: Netherlands and their self-titled ‘New Wave’

    We’ve had five utterly majestic international football years without hearing about them and just when people were beginning to forget about them, the Netherlands are here again.
