The Expert: Tondela hit back as Guimarães’ golden chance goes begging He was never shy to put in a shift as a player but still, Petit’s coaching career has been a war of attrition so far.

They may be unbeaten in 19 games but they’ve been distinctly unconvincing in at least half of those. In the end, a 3-1 victory may look comfortable enough, but from the moment Mathieu Debuchy went off...

by Jack Lang at mercredi, nov. 23 2016 16:20
Inter in need of a miracle to avoid club-first relegation One of the root causes of the problems that weigh on Brazilian football is the fact that so many teams fancy themselves among the elite. While Spain has its big two - sorry, Atleti - England has a rotating cast of four or five heavy hitters and both Germany and France have one dominant force,the fie...

by Jonathan Wilson at lundi, nov. 21 2016 16:05
The Expert: Anichebe & Sunderland giving one another a second chance When Sunderland picked up Victor Anichebe on a free transfer at the beginning of September, it seemed a move born of desperation.
