Gary Neville- pundit (courtesy of the Guardian) If there is one thing the football media loves it’s lambasting a player who has just embarrassed himself with a theatrical dive. Old football stalwarts like Graeme Souness or Alan Hansen, who played in an era where men were men and toughness was paramount, verbally bashing players for being divers.

Ah the Champions League, or for those of us who dislike change, the European Cup. There's little doubt that this is the premier club competition of world football.

This week, in case you hadn’t heard, it was announced that England’s new kit for this summer’s World Cup will cost you a whopping £90.

What goes around comes around (courtesy of Etsy) In a way, we view football in the same way that we view time. Because a casual glance will show no evidence of an end or a beginning. It’s just a constant, a part of our lives and our personalities for as long as we have them. Forever existing next to us and shaping us while we have no concept of what we would do if it were gone.
