| Classic England v Slovenia: England 2-1 Slovenia, 2009 Posted: 23 Jun 2010 03:00 AM PDT That would do it Ahead of England’s crunch match against Slovenia this afternoon, it is worth bearing in mind that these two sides met at Wembley less than a year ago. On that occasion it was England who emerged 2-1 winners. The game featured a bad dive from Wayne Rooney (for which he was rewarded with a [...]

| Video: Ayegbeni Yakubu achieves one of the worst misses of all time Posted: 23 Jun 2010 01:19 AM PDT The word ’sitter’ doesn’t do it justice Nigeria striker Yakubu somehow missed an open goal from four yards with a side-footed shot during last night’s 2-2 draw with South Korea.

| Posted: 22 Jun 2010 11:34 AM PDT Domenech offers the wagging finger of friendship Concerned that his squad has not come out of the World Cup looking petty and childish enough, France coach Raymond Domenech refused to shake hands with his South African counterpart Carlos Alberto Parreira at the end of the match which saw them both crash out of the tournament. You can [...]
