What next for England manager Gareth Southgate?

Posted on by CK Muturi

There has been a lot of talk about the England manager and if he is the ‘chosen one’ to take England National team to the next level and where they’ve wanted to be – winning trophies.

However full it might look, Gareth Southgate has had to form a team that looks and is potentially one of the best squads in the world. England national team has been ranked 5th by FIFA,

All hope is not lost for the team despite losing to France (the defending world champions) as most of their key players are young and will only get better as they gain more experience and evolve as players.

In context; Bukayo Saka is 21, Phil Foden is 22, and Jude Bellingham is 19, only to name a few.

It is interesting to note that many more England players were also left out of the squad and will be looking to capitalize on the next possible opportunity to help their senior team.

Whether Gareth Southgate choses to resign or to continue as head coach of the England National team, he has done a fantastic job of bringing the squad together and proving the three lions have yet to fulfill their potential at the global stage.

The grand finale to Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup journey.

Posted on by CK Muturi

In 2006 against Angola with the number #17 Shirt on, Cristiano Ronaldo made his debut to the FIFA World Cup in what would be an epic journey in his career.

He would then go on to be the all time top scorer for Portugal, and have the most appearances for his national team setting a standard as the greatest player for his country.

Looking back after the 1-0 loss to Morocco in Qatar, CR7 should not only be proud of what he has achieved for his country, but also be glad that he sits firmly at the apex of the greatest players ever to grace the game of football.

From 2006 to 2022, what a voyage for the Maestro. 🐐
