Hurray! England have qualified for Euro 2012 – all they need to do now is make sure they don’t follow in the footsteps of our rugby players. With Wayne Rooney in the squad that shouldn’t be too much of a problem!
We hope you’re looking forward to a full weekend of football – we are – and we hope you’re supporting your local team! What’ll really make us love you though is if you’re Doing It In Public on the way. If so, then you’ve got all these things to treat yourself with, if not, well, you’re kinda missing out…
Clips
We know your mothers shouted at your for sitting too close to the telly, but we urged you to shift just a fraction closer and check out our videos. First up – we know Rooney’s kick was bad, but compared to these…
But for every tackle there’s a dive…
Apps
Time is yours when you’re sat on that bus, and even though Blackberry may be as reliable as a carrier pigeon, we’re sure you’ll find a way to use this app. It’s called My Madrid, and even if you’re not a fan of the Spanish club, that shouldn’t deter you from this glorious app. It’s a fantastic example of how all great football apps should be. Two of its features that spring to mind are online ticket buying and 3D goal animations; come on, don’t pretend you’re not impressed.
Whenever we doubt the benefit of this modern age we live in we just need to turn to Twitter to remind us of its majesty. More importantly, if we ever forget why we’re taking the bus to the game on a Saturday morning, scrolling down the Twitter feed irradiates those thoughts. This week we ask you to check out Best Football Goals. These guys are so much more than they appear, posting not only great goals, but a wealth of other great videos too.
Books
Finally this week we bring you a book in which you can bury yourself on the way to a match. Personally, I find there’s nothing better than learning all about the hidden side of football, something you can’t do while driving! Now this fella may have tried to defend Rooney – which perhaps was a bit stupid – but not one can deny the genius of Alex Ferguson. You now have the privilege of reading his official story from his time with Manchester United. Bathe is the highs and lows of one of footballs most successful characters.
