It never rains but it pours in Spain…At least when it comes to football competitions. In 2018 Spain were without a manager 48 hours before the tournament started, with Lopetegui being sacked. Now in 2021, Spain’s Euro 2020 start has been a nightmare, before the tournament actually begins.
This is what’s happened so far…
The new season is not too far away, and Newcastle have now released all of their kits for the forthcoming 2020-21 season. This includes the home kit that was released a few weeks back, along side the away and 3rd kits. The goalkeeper kits have also been released alongside them.
Once again the kits have been supplied by Puma, with FUN88 as the sponsor.
The home strip is the traditional black and white, we have a yellow away shirt and a purple and black 3rd kit.
What do you think of them? Here’s what you need to know (including pics of the goalkeeper shirts which are great!)
Balls…Footballs. Once they were just round piece of equipment which were absolutely required to play a game of football. But for the past several decades, they’ve became a lot more.
I have always loved the World Cup, and the balls have played a bigger and bigger part in that. I thought it was about time I done a visual guide on all of the balls, and the stories behind them, both in historic terms and my own memories with them.
This is every World Cup football match ball from 1930 to 2018, and some stories behind them.
H&M have unveiled their latest collection, the H&M Studio Autumn/Winter 2018 collection, which looks pretty good, containing some good pieces for AW18 and the season moving forward.
We’re transitioning into our Autumn wardrobes with knits, sweaters and coats, so it’s the perfect time for this collection from H&M Studio. There’s some serious back to school vibes with the pieces of clothing within the collection, inspired by collegiate style which includes sweater vests, wool jackets, pea coats and varsity style sweatshirts.
H&M Say, “H&M Studio is a collection of seasonal key pieces created by our dedicated in-house design team. This autumn, classic collegiate style is merged with rebellious punk appeal, offering authentic menswear in premium fabrics.”
Let’s take a further look at the collection.
I am so excited that the Premier League is back! We’re in for a great football season, everyone is excited coming off the back of the World Cup, and it’s the opening weekend of the Premier League.
Last night it all kicked off with Manchester United vs Leicester, but today the first game up is my team, Newcastle, and I’ve got myself the shirt.
It was a story of hope from the beginning, which is unusual for England teams in recent times. The song from 1996 came back, with the mantra being said, shouted and sung all over England for a month; It’s coming home. England did not win the 2018 World Cup, but there’s no doubt, football did come home.
It’s that feeling only the true football fans understand, it’s the feeling of emptiness. Spain have been knocked out of the World Cup, losing to Russia on penalties. It was not the greatest campaign for Spain, and as with the last one, there’s the emotional story behind it too.
You wait 4 years for the World Cup, then it’s 4 weeks of brilliant and unforgettable football if you make the final and win, but when you go out, those 4 years are gone in an instant; It’s replaced with the feelings of what if, and another 4 year wait for the next one, not knowing what the future holds.
Where did it all go wrong? Some will say 2 days before it started, with Lopetegui announcing he was joining Real Madrid and was sacked, it’s hard to pin point exactly what went wrong.
The World Cup is right around the corner! Here is every single home and away shirt you will be seeing in the World Cup, that’s 64 different kits! Virtually every team will be wearing a new kit in the competition, some with different designs, and some slight updates on their kit. It’s always good to see the fresh new kits in the World Cup, from the heavyweights such as Nike, Adidas and Puma, to the smaller brands such as Hummel, Errea and Uhlsport.
There’s a couple of first timers in the World Cup, including Iceland and Panama, so a few new kits to look out for. Do you have any favourites?

Don’t know your Turkey’s from your Iceland’s? I have made this Euro 2016 kit guide if you aren’t too familiar with football!
I love international football competitions, I always have done since I was a kid. Whether it’s the Euros, World Cup and even Confederations Cup or Copa America in it’s hay day, there’s just something that little bit more special when it comes to International tournaments.
After a few weeks of rumours and kit leaks, Adidas has officially unveiled the new Spain shirt which is designed for Euro 2016 in the summer. I have seen these pictures, and I am unsure what to make of it at the moment.
It’s a lighter red design than the last one, and is a more traditional red colour as they’ve had before. It has triangular patterns, which is supposed to represent the way Spain plays football, a geometrical formation.
