You might be at the top of your league every week, but it is inevitable that challenges will pop up along the way. Challenges that have nothing to do with your lightning intuition. One major challenge most of us face at some point is managing a team while travelling. While we’d all like our business trips and holidays not to coincide with Premier League football, we don’t always have a choice. And while you can manage your team from anywhere in the world, there are a few bumps along the road to look out for.   Make sure you...

Great managers make great teams make great clubs. Or so goes the accepted philosophy in the world of football. And over time we have seen that this is generally true. Managers are the first ones, after the players of course, to shoulder the responsibility of the team’s performance. From skill building to player transfers they are in charge of it all. They can be said to be much like entrepreneurs. Both must necessarily find the best ways to allocate their resources. More often than not they are the driving forces behind the teams. Now, just like in the actual...

Football games have pretty much been popular for as long as video games have, whether that be those played on an Atari, a PC or the ultra realistic modern games that are now experienced on the latest Playstation and Xbox consoles.

2018 World Cup Top Young Players to Look Out for

Posted by | Jun 17, 2018 | , , |

One of the great pleasures of a World Cup year is the anticipation that builds up around the next crop of young stars to grace the world stage. These players usually fall into two categories. The first is those who have already began to make their mark in one of the big leagues in Europe, like the Premier League, La Liga or Serie A, but have yet to have a chance to make an impact in international football. A World Cup represents a chance for these players to change their status in the world game. The second category of...

With less than 85 days to go till kick-off for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, now seems like a good time to review the most important players in some of the key teams and look at how they are performing in the season so far. As the host country, Russia is the only nation that automatically qualifies for the tournament. All the other 31 countries had to earn their spots through various events, and the current odds of them winning range from 1000:1 for the lowest-rank team (Saudi Arabia) to 5:1 for Germany and Brazil, causing many...

A neutral’s guide to England’s World Cup hopes

Posted by | Mar 7, 2018 | , |

It is a fair assessment to state that England have not delivered at a World Cup in a very long time. Since reaching the Semi Finals in Italy in 1990, England have won just eight games at the World Cup Finals. To put that into perspective, Germany have won 28 games in the same time span. In the last two World Cups, England have scored a combined total of five goals. Germany have hit 34. Because of England’s record however, it becomes difficult to assess the team objectively. The British media – now in a phase of pessimism over...

The Man, the Myth, The Legend – Zlatan Ibrahimović

Posted by | Mar 2, 2018 | , |

The future of this footballing legend has been mired with uncertainty in recent months and there are rumours circulating of mid-season transfers. Although Zlatan made a fantastic impact during his first season with Manchester United (scoring 17 goals including some important match winners), his subsequent season has been littered with injury which has seen him play just 5 games. 2017-2018 has so far proved hugely disappointing for the Swedish striker – he has at this point in time failed to score a goal, and has played 5 games for United in the regular season. In 2017, Ibrahimović suffered a...
