The most unlikely of winners of the match, Eder, scored in extra-time to give Portugal their first major tournament win. Eder wore Nike’s Mercurial Vapour VIs.

Now, there’s of course nothing wrong with that, but for those of us who remember the good ol’ days, it makes us wonder what ever happened to the classic black football boots that seem so, so rare now.

Roy Hodgson will likely retire from football management following England’s premature exit from Euro 2016 at the hands of minnows Iceland.

We’re are not saying that all these transfers are set in stone, nor even that they’re close to going through. What we are suggesting though, is that these have more chance of going through than what is commonly thought.

Tackles were life-threatening, broken legs were mere hindrances and if you didn’t have to pick a few studs out of your head after the game, you obviously weren’t trying hard enough. Nowadays, with sponsorship deals, Instagram accounts and general appearance to all think about, some matches are more like outdoor fashion shows. We get that you maybe w...[Read More]
