Framed #147 | USA v Curacao

Reaching the business end of the Gold Cup, the USMNT were prepared for their match in the Lincoln Financial Field against Curaçao, in what was a quarter final that they were expected to stroll. The small island nation of Curaçao had not made it to this stage on merit alone though, as the US were set to find out.

Framed #146 | Mexico v Haiti

Easily one of the most impressive stadiums in the NFL, State Farm Stadium was repurposed for the Gold Cup semi final clash between tournament favourites Mexico and surprise package Haiti. Passion and pride in spades, but in their first-ever Gold Cup semi-final, would it be the end of the underdog's story?

Framed #145 | Spain U21 v Germany U21

In a replay of the 2017 showpiece, Spain lined up against Germany for the final of the European under 21 championship. Set to be played out in front of a near capacity crowd in the city of Udine, the Stadio Friuli became the destination for the next instalment of our ‘Framed’ series.

Framed #144 | England U21 v France U21

With English attention firmly on the Lionesses and events in France so far this summer, the European U21 championship in Italy may have flown under the radar for some. But with a plethora of talent at Aidy Boothroyd’s disposal, hopes were high for England’s young Lions going into their opening fixture against France in the Orogel Stadium. A fixture with potential in more ways than one for our ‘Framed’ series.

Framed #143 | Italy U21 v Spain U21

The EURO U21 tournament got underway this week, with hosts Italy entertaining Spain in a mouth-watering opening encounter. Set to be played at Bologna's Renato Dall'Ara stadium, the clash would see the talent of the Spain side, headlined by Real Madrid’s Dani Cabellos, taking on the grit of the Moise Kean starring Italy. All the ingredients for a great game and certainly for a cracking instalment in our ‘Framed’ series.

Framed #142 | Greece v Italy

The international window threw up this clash of cultures, as Italy travelled to Greece for a match played out in a blue and white palette. Both sides were yet to lose in Group J heading into the match at Athens Olympic Stadium, but this is a new-look Italy under Roberto Mancini that, pre-match, was enjoying a six-game unbeaten run. We headed to Greece for the latest in our ‘Framed’ series hoping our hunch that we'd see goals was right…

Claret & Blue Skies by Michael Double

After a season of toil and graft, it all comes down to one match. Success or failure, the entire season is marked on the result of one game: the Championship play-off final. For the fans, it’s so much more than a day out at Wembley. For Aston Villa, it was all about returning to where they belong.

In Focus | Street-Level Support For LFC Ahead Of Champions League Final

Liverpool is a city of divided loyalties, but with the Champions League final in Madrid right around the corner, it’s the red half of Merseyside that’s currently shouting the loudest, and for the next few days at the very least, the city is dominated by the support for Liverpool F.C.

Framed #141 | USWNT v Mexico

The final game of the ‘Send-off Series’ for the U.S. Women’s team took place at the Red Bull Arena with the team facing Mexico in their last friendly before travelling to France for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. The home side were eager to leave the comforts of home soil on the back of a positive result, lending the next instalment of our ‘Framed’ series extra impetus.

Framed #140 | Corinthians v Gremio

Brazilian giants Corinthians are currently languishing in mid-table following a raft of mediocre results that are below what the huge fanbase demands. As they welcomed Gremio to the Corinthians Arena, we decided to see if they could turn their fortunes around or if we were in for another upset. Yep, Corinthians v Gremio is episode 140 in our ‘Framed’ series.

Framed #139 | LA Galaxy v NYCFC

LA Galaxy’s perfect home form so far this season was put to the test when the in-form New York City FC came to Dignity Health Sports Park from the Eastern Conference, looking to build on their six game unbeaten streak. Would Zlatan take a bite out of the Big Apple? We took our seats for the next instalment in our ‘Framed’ series.

Framed #138 | Man City WFC v West Ham WFC

There’s no doubt about the impressive growth of the women’s game in recent years, and it was typified in the FA Cup final, which saw Manchester City taking on underdogs West Ham in front of a huge crowd at Wembley Stadium. Lapping up the atmosphere on the bank holiday weekend, we took our seats for the match, which was the latest in our ‘Framed’ series.

Framed #137 | Rennes v PSG

Heading into the Coupe de France final, you’d have been hard pushed to find many people backing Stade Rennais for an upset against a star-studded PSG side, defending the cup for the fourth consecutive season. But football’s a funny old game; anything can, and invariably does, happen, but that’s why we love it. Therefore we had to be at Stade de France for the next episode in our ‘Framed’ series.

Framed #136 | Manchester United v Manchester City

Watched with as much interest from title-chasing Liverpool fans as either set of supporters from the city itself, the second Manchester Derby of the season carried with it the added weight of being a potential title decider. Couldn’t be anywhere else but Old Trafford for the 136th instalment in our ‘Framed’ series.

Framed #135 | Juventus v Ajax

Check the script, this was not how it was supposed to play out… Turin was on tenterhooks for a night when Juventus were expected to progress to the semi final of the Champions League. But their youthful opponents, Ajax, had other ideas. This was one we couldn’t miss and it didn’t disappoint as the latest fixture in our ‘Framed’ series.

Framed #134 | USWNT v Belgium

World Cup preparations continued for the USWNT with the next game in their so-called "Countdown to the Cup" fixture list. Playing for the first time at the Banc of California, it was also the first time that they had faced Belgium, and they were looking to continue their recent up turn in form. We got comfortable in the Golden State for the latest stop off in our ‘Framed’ series.
