Pre-season training: Week 2

First week was a shock to the system, right? Feel like lying in bed and watching Netflix? Too bad. Shape up or ship out Sunny Jim because there’s work to do and if you want to be best you’ve got to put the work – even when you don’t feel like it.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
