For me, its a no-brainer, the Skybet Championship is THE most exciting league in England, and one of https://www.oaathleticsshop.com/oakland-athletics/terry-steinbach-jersey the most entertaining in the world. I often find myself racking my brain as to why this there is such little coverage of lower league football, its terribly frustrating. Obviously the top leagues and players are going to monopolise news and blogs such as this, nothing is ever going to change that but surely theres room for greater consideration of the smaller minorities and fan bases up and down the country.The Premiership has undoubtedly become a lot more competitive since the demise (and revival) of Manchester United, Brendan Rogers has rejuvenated Liverpool to some extent, Manchester City have invited others into the title race. Arsenal look better than they have for a long while and Mourinhos brought his charisma back to Chelsea, but its got nothing on the second tier.Down to the wire, a phrase used to denote whose outcome is not decided until the very last minute. That quite literally was the case for the top two, Wednesdays late goal ultimately handed Bournemouth the title and forced Watford to make do with second place. Here is a league that saw a newly promoted team not only get promoted, but win the league, scoring 98 goals in https://www.oaathleticsshop.com/oakland-athletics/khris-davis-jersey the proce s.Third and fourth place respectively, Middlesbrough and Norwich played their part in sharing first place among themselves and the top two throughout and eventually had to settle with comfortable play-off positions. Unbelievably, the next two play-off places were decided by a matter of just a few goals. Brentford, Ipswich https://www.oaathleticsshop.com/oakland-athletics/reggie-jackson-jersey and Wolves finished on the same points but either of the three could have been knocked out of the top six by one goal from Derby at one point. Reading destroyed the Rams hopes though with a three nil lead, however the other three teams were far from secure and a po sible, but highly unlikely swing in scorelines could have seen either Brentford or Ipswich drop out too. As a Derby fan it pains me to even think about the final day, never mind write about it, but amid the disappointment there was an undeniable excitement watching the goals come in through Sky Sports, what a day!Forest looked likely to run away with it right from the start, they had a strong starting eleven and support in abundance. Andy Reid and Britt A sambolonga were unplayable, the ex Peterborough striker fed off their Captain and was soon favourite to finish as top goalscorer. It did turn sour though; to my delight, when it was announced Reid would be out for the rest of the season. A total capitulation was confounded by their star strikers unfortunate injury and a transfer embargo that condemned them to a mediocre season. This was enough to blow the title race wide open!They allowed Norwich to top the table and a total of six different teams were in first position at one point or https://www.oaathleticsshop.com/oakland-athletics/marcus-semien-jersey another, culminating in an unbelievable finish.While the standard of football might not be as good as the big hitters in the Premiership, I argue that there are some teams that played much better than some of the lower Premier league teams. At their best, Derby would play silky pa sing that would have the likes of Newcastle panicking. Bournemouth have played some fantastic attacking play and would easily outscore Aston Villa and Watfords front line was just as dangerous.Players like Patrick Bamford, Troy Deeney, Matt Ritchie and a whole host of others have lit up the Championship and without doubt would be more than able to hold their own in the Premiership.When the Championship highlights are aired on channel 5 next season at a much more practical and earlier time at night, I get the feeling that its popularity will soon rise. https://www.oaathleticsshop.com/oakland-athletics/jose-canseco-jersey I may have always carry some bias due to the fact that Derby have been in the second tier for a while now, but after watching their highlights, given the choice I think Id stay glued to the Championship action.

England crashed out of Euro 2013 with no wins and only one point which came against the lowest ranked team in the competition. We lost to Spain and France, and although we lost to an unlucky own goal to the Spanish we deserved to lose because we defended poorly.All of this made people ask one question, what next for Hope Powell and England?First of all, they are not alone in their win-le s tournament because this summer Englands mens under 21s and under 20s all flew back home without a win. Overall it has been a poor summer of football for English fans.It was much worse for the Womens team because they reached the the final in the last Euros and only lost to the then six time winners Germany. The did lose 6-2, but with all of the womens teams improving England were expected to perhaps go one better. It was backed up when England arrived in Sweden on an eleven match unbeaten run. England were poor throughout the tournament, there wasnt a lack of effort but there was just a lack of quality.Karen Bardsley made that fatal mistake of conceding an own goal in the dying seconds of the opening game, and although she did improve as the tournament went on, that mistake cost us a point and gave Spain an extra two.The defence made mistakes in the first game, and skipper Casey Stoney said that it wouldnt happen again. However https://www.lgdodgersshop.com/los-angeles-dodgers/mark-lowe-jersey , they made the same mistakes throughout the course of the group stage and it cost us in all of the games. One of our worst pieces of defending came in the game against France with the first goal. There was mistakes from Houghton, Stoney, Bradley and Williams. Although in that game, is was a master cla s from the French it was also a defensive horror show from the https://www.lgdodgersshop.com/los-angeles-dodgers/kenta-maeda-jersey English.The midfield which mainly consisted of Scott, Williams and Asante were good when they got on the ball but they didnt have enough po se sion. Asante lacked quality when she was on the ball because she repeatedly gave the ball away, I dont think she deserved to be in the team. Scott and Williams tried to vary the pa ses but they were dominated by the opposition.The wingers which were Aluko, Carney and Yankey, although Carney came in for Yankey, and I thought that the played well in all of the games. Aluko created chances and scored our first goal of the campaign, I think that she was our most consistent player of the tournament and one of the few players who could be proud of their performances. Rachel Yankey offered England more width and she could cro s with her left foot, and we mi sed a left footed player when she was injured. Carney did well when she came in by whippping balls in to create problems, but at the end of the day you need the forwards to put the ball in the net.The strikers which were mainly Duggan and White although Smith did come off the becnh in the last two games. Duggan did well when she came on to the field in the Ru sia game and gave England that attacking spark they lacked and she ended up getting the late goal to give England a lifeline. However, in the game against France she didnt get enough of the ball to make an impact along with her strike partner Ellen White. Ellen White looked as if she lacked confidence in all of the games because when she had opportunities to score, she scuffed them all. Kelly Smith didnt play much football due to injury but when she did play she inspired the team to perform. Our poor defending meant we had to score lots of goals, but we could only manage three goals compared to Frances 7, Spains 4 and Ru sia who also scored three.Even if we did somehow get to the last eight, who would we have beat. The last eight consisted of France, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Iceland, Norway, https://www.lgdodgersshop.com/los-angeles-dodgers/fernando-valenzuela-jersey Spain and Italy.I know we wouldnt have played France or Spain but we lost to both of them in the group and deserved to lose, so we would have crashed out.I think we would have lost to Denmark because they gave it their all against France and although they po sibly didnt deserve to win they defended well enough to take it to penalties. We all know what happens with England and penalties.We would have lost to Sweden because they have played fast paced football and they have had the crowd behind them. They scored the most goals in the group stage, and we conceded the most. I think that that fact is self explanatory.We would have lost to Germany because they are one of the favourites and although they havent performed well so far they have done enough to get through to the last four. They are a great team, and when great teams dont perform to the best of their ability they will try and find a way to get something from the game.We would have lost to https://www.lgdodgersshop.com/los-angeles-dodgers/maury-wills-jersey Norway because they have been a strong team especially when they faced the Germans. They defended well and posed a threat going forward, it was an overall good performance from the whole team. They also beat Holland by one goal, and they only conceded against Iceland in their group. The Norwegians comfortably beat Spain 3-1 in the quarter-final, although one of the goals was an own goal which could have been prevented.I think that we would have lost to the Italians because they have played well in the tournament but they lost to Germany in the last eight. I just think that they lost to the Germans because they found a way to win. Italy played well in the group stage and only lost out on being group winners because of the hosts.I think the only team we could have beat was Iceland, but they played well in the group and the only game they lost was against the holders. Iceland did well but they crumbled when they played against bigger and better opposition. On the other hand, England might not have beat them because we should have comfortably beat Ru sia.The coach Hope Powell has been criticised after every game her side played for various reasons. The main reason was the timing of her subs because they were far too late. She should have brought on Toni Duggan at least 10 minutes earlier against Ru sia to give us a better chance at winning the game. She could have brought on Duggan in the opening game to see if we could win the game. I also feel that she should have played Nobbs in some part of the games to give her some tournament experience.There was also criticism for https://www.lgdodgersshop.com/los-angeles-dodgers/yasiel-puig-jersey not rotating the squad when the players looked tired, she played the same players throughout the friendlies and the group games. They werent really given a break.Another point was that she brought players to Sweden carrying injuries. Kelly Smith, Sophie Bradley and Karen Carney all had some sort of injury going into the campaign so that meant we could have had only 20 fit players going into the first game. For me she should have brought Natasha Dowie to Sweden because she was the top goal scorer in the womens super league. Dowie has scored 10 in 12 games for Liverpool so far this season, so why wasnt she given the chance.All of this has raised one question, what is the future for Powell and England

The Premier LeagueOften regarded as the the best football division https://www.clindiansshop.com/cleveland-indians/carlos-baerga-jersey in the world, however in recent years that title has become threatened by the rise of the La Liga. This article is going to review the merits of both leagues and help you make your mind up about which is better.I will begin with the nature of the leagues. The Premier League is much more physical than the La Liga which is why many people have discu sed whether or not the any of the teams barring Barcelona, Real Madrid, Valencia and Athletico Madrid would even make it into the English top division. That though can of course work both ways as the referees of the Spanish division might not tolerate the philosophy of the teams physical approach. I could easily see teams like Stoke City getting men sent of every match because of their approach.It is hotly debated whether the La Liga is easier than the Premier League with Cristiano Ronaldo as a piece https://www.clindiansshop.com/cleveland-indians/joe-carter-jersey of proof that it is. Ronaldos best ever goal tally in the Premier League was 31 while his best in La Liga is 46, although this could just because he has a better team around him or hes improvedA lot.That brings us on to the next argument in which only the top teams are brought in to question. Which league has the higher amount of talent? The Champions League is the only competition in which the title https://www.clindiansshop.com/cleveland-indians/jim-thome-jersey holders in all the leagues can meet. It does seem clear that if the title holders of the Premier League (Manchester City) and the La Liga (Real Madrid) faced each other Real Madrid would be victorious, but last year Chelsea football club came 6th in the Premier League ,but won the Champions https://www.clindiansshop.com/custom League beating Barcelona who came 2nd in the La Liga on their journey to Munich. So far it has been a bit one sided, but have you ever wondered why the Spanish national team is packed with so much talent? One of the main reasons for this is that the La Liga clubs are so tolerant of their youth and give them great opportunities. The motto of many Premier League clubs ,especially Chelsea and Man City, is to buy young foreign talent and to forget about their youth system. Even the clubs youth team is filled with bought foreign talent, but the Spanish teams stick with the youth talent from their country.When it comes down to which League is more entertaining theres no question. Its the Premier League. No other league is more open before the season starts. No other league spends https://www.clindiansshop.com/cleveland-indians/manny-ramirez-jersey so much money and definately no other league can provide an end to a season like last season.So make your mind up. Which league is better?

This is for all fans I am deeply saddened and shocked by the persecution of former players whose names have been linked as potential managers of this club.It is a culture shock for me as everywhere in the world, former players are lauded for their contributions and achievements https://www.hoastrosshop.com/houston-astros . On the choice of a new manager, it is now time for contemplation as due proce s is carried out Shebby Singh, October 2012.Persecution of former players linked as potential managers? Really? What a load of complete and utter claptrap. Yes, theres been rumblings of discontent at some of the names being thrown around as po sible new managers.Its also fair to say the fans are entitled to that, given how well the last managerial appointment worked out. But persecution? Wind your neck in a bit Shebby. History shows the fans have a point when they question the wisdom of appointing someone with little or no track record to speak off. Dalglish, Soune s, Hughes and Allardyce could all claim to have had a solid managerial grounding before taking over at Ewood.The likes of Kidd and Kean have shown decent coaches dont nece sarily make decent managers. So lets have a look at these former players who https://www.hoastrosshop.com/houston-astros/andy-pettitte-jersey everyones been persecuting.Alan Shearer. Aside from a handful of games in charge of Newcastle, Shearers a managerial novice. Sure, hes a legend in the eyes of many Rovers fans for helping the club to the title in 1995, but hands up everyone who wasnt overly pleased with the manner of his departure to the Geordies?How about those of you who think hes a bit https://www.hoastrosshop.com/houston-astros/preston-tucker-jersey of a self-absorbed fence sitter from his weekly appearances on Match of the Day? Saying that isnt persecution. Its merely pointing out Shearer might not be the best man for the job.Tim Sherwood. Highly thought of as a coach at Spurs but has no managerial experience. Sound familiar? Despite being captain of the title-winning side, his status as a Rovers legend is questionable at best.Anyone in any doubt should ask Blackburn End fans what they thought of Sherwood flashing the V sign at them. https://www.hoastrosshop.com/houston-astros/jimmy-wynn-jersey Again, not persecution, simply pointing out reasons why hes not exactly the ideal candidate.Billy McKinlay. Unlike the other two, theres no question of McKinlay popping up on a Rovers Legends list. Like Sherwood, respected as a coach but has never held the top job.Plus, hes supposedly best mates with Kean. Hardly the greatest idea anyones ever had when it comes to winning round a disillusioned fan base. Not persecution, just a statement of fact.What should have been a simple proce s has, yet again, been turned into a circus by a club seemingly hell-bent on making a fool of itself. In the spirit of trying to get the me sage through to what appear to be some very thick skulls the fans dont think its a good idea to appoint a new manager who hasnt got any experience.Been there, done that, got the T shirt. If Rovers cant attract one of Solskjaer, Holloway or someone else with some managerial background, then it really https://www.hoastrosshop.com/houston-astros/craig-biggio-jersey is time to pack up and go home. How hard can it be?

The are already heating up as the 2018 World Cup progre ses, with upsets already informing punters opinions about what will happen in two years time.Spain were eliminated by Ru sia in the last-16 of the World Cup on Sunday, July 1, losing on penalties after being held to a 1-1 draw in normal time and extra time. Since winning the 2010 tournament, Spain have won just two of their last seven World Cup games and were doomed from the start https://www.mwbrewersshop.com/milwaukee-brewers/eric-thames-jersey this summer.Despite coming into the tournament as one of the bookmakers favourites with a along with other sign up offers available if you wanted to back the Iberians, the teams fortunes followed Murphys Law everything that could go wrong, did.La Roja lost their manager Julen Lopetegui on the eve of the tournament, with Fernando Hierro taking over the national team, so the squad had little time to prepare for their opener. Spain shipped three goals in their first group game and didnt look convincing after that. Their last-16 exit to Ru sia is a shock but few had them pegged https://www.mwbrewersshop.com/hoodie to win the tournament. Spain manager Fernando Hierro.Spains biggest i sue was with their playing style. They keep the ball effortle sly and control the tempo against the majority of their opponents, but theres no penetration. Players werent looking to get in behind the backline and it led to them being easy to defend against.The 2010-champions have a midfield choc full of playmakers who retain high levels of po se sion and can cut through a defence with just one pa s, but they struggled to create chances despite having so many talented players on the pitch.Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez were criminally underused and would https://www.mwbrewersshop.com/milwaukee-brewers/yovani-gallardo-jersey have provided the most dynamism for Spain in the final third, but Hierro instead preferred a midfield containing Koke, Sergio Busquets, Isco, David Silva and Andres Iniesta all in one line-up.It led to Spain having a lack of pace in their build-up play and being unable to stretch teams. Asensio is a player who makes runs in behind the defence but racked up just 130 minutes of playing time in the World Cup. Vazquez was given only 84 minutes by Hierro and would have given Spain width and pace down the right flank had he featured more heavily.Real Madrid and Spain winger Lucas Vazquez.Spain were guilty of underusing Diego Costa. The Atletico Madrid striker scored three goals in his first two appearances in the tournament but fired blanks https://www.mwbrewersshop.com/milwaukee-brewers/robin-yount-jersey in the last two games and his teammates were largely to blame. Despite showing against Portugal that he can score from half a chance, Spains playmakers continued to overlook Costa when building attacks.Against Ru sia, the 29-year-olds off-the-ball runs were so often ignored in favour of retaining po se sion and it made Ru sias job of defending much easier. Many are saying tiki-taka is dead, but the i sue was that Spain were keeping the ball for the sake of keeping the ball. There was no purpose to their play, only to retain po se sion as thats whats https://www.mwbrewersshop.com/ been hard-wired into their system all these years.La Roja may have to overhaul parts of the squad and start again if they are to challenge at Euro 2020 and at the 2022 World Cup.

Barcelona Vs AC Milan last 16 first legIll be honest I only saw bits of the game I was concentrating on a very good meal I cooked for myself. But from what I saw Barcelona didnt look like the greatest team in the world. I get the feeling the tiki taka philosophy is being broken down slightly and Barca will struggle without it and need a plan B. As usual Barcelona dominated po se sion (72%) and were almost always camped inside Milans half. But I didnt really see them threaten Milan whatsoever as Milan completely marked them off the field. Barcelona played their usual team of world cla s players but their https://www.chcubsshop.com/chicago-cubs/kyle-hendricks-jersey tactics were their downfall. They were too patient and didnt try to push into the Milan box. I noticed that after they did their few million pa ses around the area they pa sed the ball to someone out wide who cro sed it in and Milan could clear the ball. This could have had some substance to it if someone in the Barca squad could hold up the ball in the area or tried to have a go at the defence, I mean Phillipe Mexes is terrible at defending a strong striker. Sadly though for Barca that man is Me si who wasnt in the area, he usually is waiting outside the box to get the ball and use some of his magic to score. Only when three men are marking a player even https://www.chcubsshop.com/chicago-cubs/kyle-schwarber-jersey as good as Me si, things will get difficult. Barca need a plan B and I dont think Vilanova is the man to do that. This may have been different with Guardiola because he had a plan for anything that could happen in a match and would have the team prepared to counter a threat or tactic posed against them. But with the new management I dont see that. Vilanova appears to have replicated Plan A and maximised it to the extreme. However, up against a Milan team prepared for tiki taka, it didnt work and I had a suspicion that Milan would do that and win tonight. Barcelona need https://www.chcubsshop.com/ a manager who isnt going to rely on one philosophy and is willing to help the team expand further and not rely on one tactic. I mean from what I saw Barcelona appear to have forgotten that fullbacks are also supposed to defend these days. Jordi Alba and Dani Alves are very good but they are almost wingers and I would personally rate Leighton Baines and Rafael/Zabaleta/Glen Johson above them as they are also very good at defending. In my opinion Barcelona need a manager like Jurgen Klopp or dare I say Wenger as they would bring a fresh approach to a team that is becoming too narrow minded. They would bring a fresh approach and control the style of play but would maintain attractive football which we https://www.chcubsshop.com/chicago-cubs/david-ross-jersey witne sed from Boru sia Dortmund and a few years ago Arsenal. I believe Vilanova wont last much longer and not just because of his health but because I believe that tactically he doesnt have enough to maintain succe s at a great club https://www.chcubsshop.com/chicago-cubs/kosuke-fukudome-jersey like Barcelona. Some may have thought the same about Guardiola only he was much more detailed in his approach and his players seemed a lot happier playing under him as he would always keep his squad happy while Vilanova seems a lot quieter and just looks like hes expecting the same thing each week. And before I get questioned over mentioning Wenger, he is tactically a very good manager but his Arsenal squad is diabolical with the exception of Jack Wilshere. If Wenger had the same tactics at Barcelona they would be a very hard team to beat.

Premier League title favourites Manchester City you can use this to still get good odds on the Premier League champions were dealt a major blow in their pursuit for Napoli midfielder Jorginho, with the Italian international turning down the Sky Blues to join Chelsea. Jorginho followed Maurizio Sarri to Stamford Bridge this summer, joining one day https://www.btredsoxshop.com/boston-red-sox/rick-porcello-jersey his former manager and being pictured with Sarri in the announcement photos on social media.Chelsea fans were unsurprisingly delighted to bolster their midfield with a world-cla s player like Jorginho, while City supporters were frustrated to be seemingly rejected by a transfer target who looked to arrive at the Etihad Stadium this summer. There is a rumour that may clarify why Chelsea won the race to his signature and it isnt just to do with them offering more money.Sarri deal may have hinged on Jorginho moveChelsea replacing Antonio Conte for Sarri has been https://www.btredsoxshop.com/boston-red-sox/fred-lynn-jersey one of the worst-kept secrets in the Premier League this summer, but confirmation didnt come until two months after their final domestic outing of 2017/18. An unwillingne s from Chelsea to pay his compensation was believed to be the reason behind the delay, as Sarri could move for free if the Londoners waited until a specific date, but Jorginho presented the Serie A giants with an opportunity to get paid. Napoli may have allowed Sarris compensation to come out of the transfer fee for Jorginho, https://www.btredsoxshop.com/boston-red-sox/andrew-benintendi-jersey but they wont have sold themselves short given Citys interest. Chelsea would have had to make a more lucrative approach to convince them to accept the deal, so it appears chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis has used them to make more money from Jorginhos sale and Sarris departure.Jorginhos agent a move to Manchester City in the media this summer, revealing talks were ongoing and a deal was expected. So, what changed? City the midfielder has been bullied into signing for Chelsea and dont believe the London club were his first pick. Rumour has it that the 26- https://www.btredsoxshop.com/boston-red-sox/johnny-pesky-jersey year-old would have been denied a move this summer if he didnt pick Chelsea.There are suggestions that Jorginho would have been forced to see out his contract if he wanted to leave, although such a theory is unproven. City certainly had every indication the midfielder was going to sign until the deal changed at the last minute. Him joining Chelsea at the same time as Sarri does suggest some of the claims might have some truth to them.Manager Pep Guardiola isnt likely https://www.btredsoxshop.com/boston-red-sox/jackie-bradley-jr-jersey to sign a different midfielder this summer and will instead utilise the players hes already got.
