OPINION: France & Morocco's World Cup clash shines light on social & political tensions

While in Boston, where two of the world's top eight national teams will face off in the most balanced of the World Cup quarter-finals, in France thousands of officers will be stationed in Paris and the largest cities to prevent the inevitable.

OPINION: This expanded & overstuffed World Cup is a disservice to football

The World Cup has been underway for two weeks, but it still doesn’t really feel like it’s started. This relentless cramming is doing football a disservice, but we’re willing victims of this whirlwind that’s pushing us toward delirium tremens.

OPINION: You want momentum? Have a commercial instead - making sense of 'hydration' breaks

OPINION: Torturous and nerve-shredding - Arteta and Arsenal have made it worth every second

Arsenal are Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years. It hasn't really sunk in yet. I can't really comprehend it. I have been a fan of the Gunners since 2008, when I first got into football on the back of the European Championships. I have never watched this great club lift a Premier League trophy. Despite all the ups and downs, the twists and turns, and some of the torturous, agonising moments fans have endured this season, it has been so worth the wait.
