Álvaro Morata’s Horrible Rebound Miss Will Haunt Him — Until His Next Awful Miss

Álvaro Morata is always in the right areas as a striker. He just can’t quite figure out the finishing when his team needs it most.

The People's Captain: Goran Pandev And His Pivotal Role In North Macedonia's Footballing Resurgence

Despite 119 international caps to his name, Goran Pandev has rarely experienced success with North Macedonia. 

The North Macedonian record-holder for both appearances and goals, Pandev made his international debut back in 2001 during a 3-3 draw against Turkey in World Cup Qualifying.
