On This Day in 2014: Steven Gerrard retires from England duty

Former England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard announced his retirement from international football on this day in 2014.

Gerrard was one of the best midfielders of his generation, making 114 appearances for England, which places him fourth on the men’s all-time list.

But while he regularly tops fan polls as Liverpool’s greatest player, Gerrard rarely hit the same heights for England during his 14-year international career.

His decision came after England’s dismal showing in the 2014 World Cup, where Roy Hodgson’s side crashed out at the group stage after defeats to Italy and Uruguay and a 0-0 draw against Costa Rica.

Gerrard was handed his debut by Kevin Keegan aged 20 in a 2-0 win over Ukraine at Wembley in 2000 and was named in the squad fo…

New York Jets Odds, Predictions, and Betting Preview 2022: Jets Battle Growing Pains in 2022

If Zach Wilson’s game can be as mature as his taste in women, the New York Jets have a bright future. 

The learning curve gets mighty steep for the second-year quarterback and the rest of Gang Green, who are rich in promise coming off 4-13 SU record (6-11 ATS) in an injury-plagued 2021. Head coach Robert Saleh is depending on his young guys to grow up fast, entering Year 2 under his 4-3 defense and Mike LaFleur’s offensive playbook. 

The Jets’ NFL odds aren’t asking much, with one of the lowest win totals on the board and the lookahead lines not painting a pretty picture. Can potential and plenty of points add up against the spread?

Hide your mothers. Here’s the New York Jets 2022 NFL betting preview.

Chiefs vs Ravens AFC Championship Predictions, Picks, Odds: Jackson Quiets Remaining Doubters

Do you need to be lucky to be good or be good to be lucky?

We’ll find out which side of that statement the Kansas City Chiefs sit on when they visit the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game on Championship Sunday.

Many believe Kansas City is lucky to be back in the conference title game for a sixth straight postseason, having defeated two injury-riddled rosters in Miami and Buffalo and benefiting from a late missed field goal in its Divisional Round win over the Bills.

Baltimore, which has been one of the unluckiest franchises in recent years due to injuries, is finally healthy and looking strong after crushing Houston in its Divisional Round matchup. That’s why the NFL odds currently have the home side laying -3.5 points for t…

Southend United to rename stand after inadvertent link with Rose West

A football club is to change the name of one of its stands after a new sponsorship deal saw it rebranded “the Gilbert & Rose West Stand”, triggering reaction on social media over the association with one of Britain’s most notorious serial killers.

Southend United, which plays in the National League which is the fifth tier of English football, signed a commercial partnership with a local estate agent in Leigh-on-Sea.

The juxtaposition of “Gilbert & Rose” with “West Stand” inadvertently saw Rose and West appear next to each other on season ticket cards and the club’s website.

Southend, who start their season at home to Boreham Wood on Saturday, are now to discuss “a …
