Football Is Coming Home Football Is Coming Home

Roy Hodgson has surprised everyone by calling up only three central defenders in his provisional squad for the Euro 2016. This has been seen as a low number especially for major tournaments like the Euro 2016.

However, the former Liverpool boss has defended his selection by claiming that it allows him to pick an additional attacking midfielder.

England boss Roy Hodgson says that Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy did not deserve to be sent off from the 2-2 draw with West Ham.

Vardy has been one of the sensational stories of the 2015-16 Premier League campaign. He has gone from being a nonleague player into a potential forward for the England national team at the Euro 2016 in the space of five years. He has been a major factor in Leicester City being very close to a league title. However, his suspension for the final few matches of the season could prove devastating for the underdogs.

Nobody thought it was possible, but Leicester’s remarkable surge from relegation survivors to champions in the space of a year may suggest that there is a wind of change in the Premier League.

Claudio Ranieiri took over a team that were a mere 5000/1 with Bookies.com to win the title, and while many were surprised that Leicester had turned to a manager who had endured a short, ill-fated stint in charge of Greece, the Italian managed to transform them into deserving league winners.

Former England defender Danny Mills says that Roy Hodgson should consider including Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford the squad over the likes of Daniel Sturridge.

Roy Hodgson admitted that picking Daniel Sturridge for the upcoming friendly against Netherlands and seeing his performance against a top team will have a huge say in his ability to travel with the England team for the Euro 2016.

Sturridge appeared like one of the finest prospects since the days of Michael Owen and Alan Shearer at their peak. He had been one of the highest scoring English strikers in the Premier League before the curse of injuries struck him. In the last two seasons, he has barely managed 20 appearances in all competitions.

With the potential imminent announcement come the end of the season of Jose Mourinho’s takeover at Manchester United here are 4 possible scenarios we may see at Old Trafford this summer and over the course of next season.

Rooney Made Captain
Wayne Rooney will remain captain of the club. We often see upheaval when new managers arrive at clubs however it’s no secret that Jose is a huge admirer of Wayne Rooney and his style of play.

With Leicester City looking as if they may well become surprise title winners there are many who are seeing this as a welcome change for English football.

After seasons of the same old clubs qualifying for the Champions League and being able to buy the all the best players, Leicester, Spurs and West Ham are all attempting to crash the party.

After a poor start to the season, Chelsea have turned their campaign around since interim head coach Guus Hiddink arrived at the helm.

Although the Dutchman will leave Stamford Bridge in June, he will still want to lead the Blues to a Europa League spot. This will particularly be the case as Chelsea have now been knocked out of the Champions League and have no way of securing a place in Europe's elite club competition next season.

The England national team at the Euro 2016 could feature a new combination in midfield if the latest comments by manager Roy Hodgson is anything to go by.

Due to the retirement of experienced professionals like Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard, there is a vacant spot in the England midfield. There are a number of young candidates available for Hodgson to rely upon. The work for the former Liverpool manager will come in the form of managing those young guns. Hodgson says that he might have a different plan for the midfield at the Euro 2016.

England manager Roy Hodgson has singled out Gareth Bale as the major threat possessed by the Welsh national team at the Euro 2016.

The world’s most expensive player has managed to help his national team qualify for their first major tournament since 1958.

The national team has struggled to reach a major tournament in all these years despite having some great players like Ryan Giggs. Hence, achieving qualification was always going to be the main priority for Chris Coleman. The manager managed to take full advantage of Bale being in his prime.
