But for most people — myself included — the soccer equivalent of the main course was finally served up over the weekend in the form […]
cutting off the nose to spite the face
In a world of ever increasing change, many of the passionate followers of the church of football often depend on their clubs and national teams to be their “ever-constants”.

Drama has been in ample supply in World Cup qualifying. […]
who needs a revolution when there’s evolution?
Ignore for a second that Jamaica and Panama’s combined FIFA World Ranking is 92. Discount the fact that the temporary turf was playing the part of sniper to Panama on Tuesday night.
