World Cup

If there was one thing most people could agree on after England’s World Cup semi-final defeat at the hands of Croatia it was that Harry Kane had a stinker of a game.

During the World Cup, Anita Sambol is bringing you a daily roundup of all the action. However, today, in this latest World Cup roundup, Anita is too hungover so Lee steps in for a very brief roundup of the World Cup semi-finals.

Germany’s general manager, Oliver Bierhoff and their FA’s president, Reinhard Grindel, have been urged to step down after attacks on Mesut Ozil following their country’s poor World Cup.

Per Mertesacker has come out firing in defence of Mesut Ozil who has been turned into a scapegoat for his country’s World Cup failings in Russia this summer.

The sports psychologist who is being credited with changing England’s fortunes at the World Cup is an Arsenal fan.

A video has emerged of Granit Xhaka responding to taunts from an angry Serbia fan, after his Albanian eagle celebration earlier in the World Cup.

The President of the German Football Association (DFB) has demanded that Mesut Ozil explain why he met with Recep Tayyip Erdogan ahead of the World Cup as the Arsenal man continues to be targeted after his country’s failings in Russia and his father says he should quit the national team.

We’ve now reached the semi-final stage and France could well do it again, with Didier Deschamps emulating Aime Jacquet’s formula of a team based on hard work, defensive structure and unity, along with creative geniuses in attack.

In this latest World Cup roundup, Anita turns her attention to the games that took place on Saturday. Sweden v England (Danny Welbeck) and Russia v Anita’s home country, Croatia, feature. Anita also previews both semi-finals, games which feature will feature France v Belgium and Croatia v England.

Danny Welbeck may not be seeing much action on the pitch, but he got a chance to make sure he was still with us when he was popped into a cryo-chamber after England’s win over Colombia to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

Stephan Lichtsteiner has admitted he doesn’t know if he will continue to play for his country after Switzerland were knocked out of the World Cup by Sweden.

David Ospina said there was ‘fortune’ involved in his excellent, yet futile, penalty save from Jordan Henderson as Colombia crashed out of the World Cup to England.

Neymar’s World Cup will be remembered for excessive rolls and feigning injury, but it further highlights the inherent and ingrained sexism that is still rampant in football today.
