Euro 2008 is Coming: Write for World Cup Blog
Euro 2008 isn’t too far away and we’re planning to cover it in a big big way. To do that we need our team blogs firing on all cylinders. So if you’ve got what it takes to captain one of the available Euro 2008 blogs (or any other national team blog) then we want to [...]
Raúl Signs His Own Euro 2008 Death Warrant
Raúl held a joint press conference with Spain coach Luis Aragonés yesterday, where the finally back-in-form Real Madrid striker basically asked the people and press to stop hollering for his international recall. Raúl hasn’t played for Spain since the 3-2 defeat to Northern Ireland back in 2006, and for a while there he didn’t really [...]
Swiss People Need to Get in Shape for Euro 2008
I’ve always thought of Switzerland as a nice healthy country full of nice healthy people, but the Swiss government disagrees. According to them, 64% of Swiss people are out of shape and that’s not good enough when you’re co-hosting Euro 2008. So now there’s going to be a national sports week in May, the month [...]
Would FIFA Really Ban Spain From Euro 2008?
There’s a row brewing between FIFA and the Spanish government, and there’s a chance it could end with the Spanish national team not competing at Euro 2008. There’s a joke in there somewhere about Spain never competing anyway, but I’m far too sophisticated to make it. FIFA are getting hot under the collar over the [...]
UK Fans Still Expected at Euro 2008, Just Not Their Teams
There won’t be any teams from the UK at Euro 2008 this summer after England’s abject failure to do anything but lose to Croatia, Scotland’s valiant but doomed effort, Northern Ireland coming close but no cigar and Wales just being Wales. But that doesn’t mean the fans won’t go. The Austrian Tourist Board are still [...]
Trix and Flix and Shaggy’s Euro 2008 Anthem
Euro 2008 is on the way people. It’s less than four months away. We’ve already met and then named mascots Trix and Flix, and now they star in the video for “Like a Superstar,” the official anthem of Euro 2008. Sung by Shaggy.
Yes, that Shaggy. “Mr. Boombastic” himself, who I honestly thought had disappeared along [...]
Happy New Year
Happy New Year everyone. Here’s looking forward to a great year, with the African Cup of Nations just around the corner and Euro 2008 in the summer. Normal World Cup Blog service will resume tomorrow.

It’s not a paid position, [...]
Slaven Bilić Rocks
Literally. There was always something very rock n roll about Slaven Bilić. He was one of the last professional footballers who unashamedly smoked, puffing his way through a respectable career at Hajduk Split, Karlsruher, Eveton and West Ham. Now he’s very successfully managing the Croatian national team, but when he’s not conquering England home and [...]
Roberto Donadoni Wants a New Contract
Seems Fabio Capello’s appointment as England boss has caused a huge sigh of relief in Roberto Donadoni’s house. It was an odd situation to have such an experienced manager out of work while such an inexperienced manager was in charge of the Azzurri. But Capello not only grabbed the (well-paying) England job with both hands, [...]
