Yesterday, England’s Football Association announced the rather controversial choice of Roy Hodgson to take the reins of the national football team from Fabio Capello for the next four years. Hodgson has the experience of a long career in coaching behind him, but can he turn the fans and even the players to his side in order to recapture England’s long gone football glory days?
FIFA president Sepp Blatter said yesterday that racial insults on the soccer field are nothing more than “on-field provocation”. He also suggested that players should accept this as part of the game and simply shake hands at the end of the match. I was actually trying to think of something sarcastic to insert here, but I’m too busy weeping for humanity at the moment.
