Belgium destroyed fellow World Cup hopefuls Costa Rica 4-1 last night. This follows the Group E side’s 2-0 drubbing by England a few days ago. England’s performance in that fixture was solid and there were plenty of positives. But the manner with which Belgium systematically dismantled the Costa Rican side sent a stern warning to…
Just as I tipped, the Brazil rendered good value so I hope you all had it in your ACCA! Brazil thrashed Austria, romping home to a 3-0 victory with goals from Jesus, Neymar and Coutinho. This was a great warm-up for the Group A favourites who seem to have rediscovered their scintillating samba style football…
Just as I tipped, France vs USA finished in score draw last night. This result was particularly impressive for the USA who fielded a young largely inexperienced team due in part to the MLS season being in full swing. Deschamps fielded a full squad but, as expected, the players took it easy, doing their best…
Brazil visit Austria as they continue preparing to take on their opponents in Group E at the 2018 World Cup. This time will no doubt also be important for the players to reset their circadian rhythm with European time. Austria are coming off a 2-1 win against world Champions Germany. Brazil on the other hand…
Les Bleus host the USA tonight as they continue to warm up for the 2018 World Cup. With the recent spate of injuries hitting the news (Fred, Lanzini) France will most likely approach this game cautiously. Deschamps will most likely give a run out to the fringe players, giving them a chance to put forward…

Gareth Southgate’s England continue their preparations for the 2018 World Cup with a friendly match against Costa Rica tomorrow night. For Costa Rica this match sees the team travelling to Europe where they will remain until the World Cup 2018. It could prove to be a long month for the Costa Rican players should they…
In what feels like it should be a World Cup fixture, Italy will host the Netherlands in an international friendly tomorrow. This match is will be the first for Italy’s new first team coach Roberto Mancini but will mean little more than that as the Azzuri failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup for…
Nothing like a good international friendly to feed the World Cup fever! Tonight one of the pre-tournament favourites Spain will face-off against Switzerland. Spain, my tip to top Group B, will view this fixture as an opportunity for a good run-out and will likely use it to try out some different positions. Switzerland take this…
