Could Virgil van Dijk Emulate Fabio Cannavaro & Win the Ballon d'Or?
In 2006 Fabio Cannavaro led his Italian national team to a marvellous World Cup victory in Germany. During that year the legendary centre back was also named Serie A player of the year (with Juventus), before claiming the La Liga title with Real Madrid in the 2006/07 campaign. This period solidified the former Napoli graduate as perhaps the greatest defender on the planet, and quite rightly saw the 136-cap Italy captain named as 2006 FIFA Player Of The Year and …
Trent nails his detractors with spot-on assessment of criticism
So, brave old Gareth Southgate has actually mustered up the courage to play Trent Alexander-Arnold at a World Cup.
Granted, it was when England were cruising to victory over Wales on Tuesday night, but still, from a Liverpool perspective, it was pleasing to see one of the Reds' most gifted players earn some minutes.
Alexander-Arnold's cameo was as typically limited as you would expect from a full-back under Southgate, with the Reds star unable to play his usual expansive game.

On December 2nd, 2010, Qatar were selected as the 2022 hosts, despite many allegations and suspicions of bribing and shady payments. At the time, it seemed like a questionable decision, but now it seems like an abysmal one. Qatar's extremely hot climate have caused many problems, even while just building the stadiums. Underpaid, dehydrated, and overworked workers worked tirelessly to build the arenas, working through 100 degree …
