AG's Football Reports

It was an interesting match day 3 in the Champions League for our English teams. There were wins for Arsenal and Chelsea. Man City threw away a 2 goal lead to draw 2-2 in Russia and Liverpool were taught how to play football by the World's best. The first game involving English teams was of course Man City's game in Moscow which was played behind close doors. City were two goals up after 63 minutes before CSKA came back and equalised through a controversial penalty.

ENGLAND suffered defeat in their first World Cup game in Manaus. Alex Grace Reports Goals from Italy's Cladiuo Marchisio and Mario Balotelli either side of a Daniel Sturridge strike were enough to give Italy a 2-1 victory over the Three Lions on Saturday Evening. England were undone by defensive venerability's in a display that would please Roy Hodgson. The rue reality is that now England face a scrap to survive when they play Uruguay on Thursday after they were beaten 3-1 by Costa Rica. Whoever loses that one is doomed to elimination at the first hurdle. Towards the end it was visible that Roy's men were tiring in the heat in the Amazon, but he will hope that not too much energy is lost as England face a another tough encounter in Sao Paulo. To add insult to injury Physio Gary Lewin was taken off via a stretcher after he broke his ankle when celebrating Daniel Sturridge's goal. Raheem Stirling put in a brilliant display as England looked dangerous and we...
