World Cup Group A Preview: Host Qatar in Strong Grouping
The 2022 Qatar World Cup is unique for many reasons. First and foremost, you have the dates on which it is occurring.

2022 World Cup Group D Preview: France Hopes to End Champions Curse
Group D contains the reigning champions in France. This doesn’t hold the weight that you might think it does.

World Cup Group E Preview: The Real Group of Death
Many pundits have labeled Group H the dreaded ‘Group of Death’. That is wrong. I don’t think there can be any argument that Group E is not the real ‘Group of Death’ at this year’s World Cup in Qatar. With three sides inside the top 25 of FIFA’s official rankings, this group contains more must-see matchups than any other grouping. European giants Spain and Germany headline … [Read more...] about World Cup Group E Preview: The Real Group of Death

Liverpool FC Team News, Starting XI Prediction vs Southampton
After what has been an up-and-down start to the season, Liverpool faces a home clash against Southampton prior to the World Cup break.
