Ireland’s Wars: Ireland And The Allies

Ireland’s Wars: De Valera In America
As already discussed, the international dimension was vital to the Irish War of Independence. The political heads of the Republic were smart enough to know that a complete military victory over Britain was unlikely to occur, and even if it … Continue reading

World Cup 2014: Matchday Nineteen (Last 16)
Argentina 1 – 0 Switzerland It was a cagey start from both teams. The Swiss quickly showed their plan to suffocate the Argentinean star names with a mountain of defenders, while they broke down the left with Inler and Shaquri. … Continue reading

World Cup 2014: Matchday Fifteen (Group G, H)

Qatar 2022: Or How FIFA Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Bribery
