Bloated Champions League still promises thrills
Champions League group-stage football returns this evening with 36 teams vying to be crowned the best in Europe come next May.

Tactical naivety leads to doubts around Heimir future
Back in July of last year, then Shelbourne manager Damien Duff was sitting in front of the assembled press ahead of his side's eagerly-anticipated Conference League clash against Gibraltar side St Joseph's.

'It will be a right battle'

The Club World Cup is a week away, does anyone care?
The countdown is on. It's now just seven days until the start of the competition that will answer the question on everyone’s lips; who is the best football club in the world? Is it the Chelsea side that limped to a fifth-placed finish in the Premier League this season? Or perhaps Porto, who triumphantly battled to third in this year’s Liga Portugal? If stylish catenaccio football is more your thing then look to Juventus, who finished fourth in Serie A. Not convinced by those European giants?
