  • Anton Ferdinand Doesn’t Shake Hands With John Terry & Ashley Cole

  • Nothing Surprising About Fabio Capello Quitting His England Job

    Fabio Capello was on the hot seat since the 2010 World Cup. Since Frank Lampard’s ball bounced out of the goal, more or less. An unimpressive but fruitful Euro 2012 campaign didn’t make things easier and nicer between the FA and the highest paid manager in international football, and eventually, John Terry’s armband cost him his job.
