Even the Feast of Football pundits have been given the morning off but Carl spoke to Powell and Joel who have both made a tournament debut fo...

"How can that be heavy when you have such pride and desire in the game you love."

If Craig Bellamy was feeling any pressure before the two World Cup qualifiers, he wasn't showing it.

And the excitement would only build, he said, as attention would then sw...
