History will be made this Saturday as the Daggers host their first ever match in English football’s third tier, when Tranmere Rovers will be the visitors to Victoria Road. Both sides already find themselves at the foot of the table so it promises to be an interesting fixture.

Another tournament, another disappointment. The usual rhetoric of “learning lessons”, “looking in the mirror” and “analyzing where it went wrong” was immediately spouted by a group of players who once again failed to deliver on the big stage. The biggest problem, though, is that we don’t ever seem to learn lessons. Here’s our take on England’s footballing woe.

Way back in August, we gave our predictions and expectations for all of League 2′s twenty-four clubs. Instead of attempting to brush our awful predictions under the carpet, it is time to look back and see how we did, with our first part covering Accrington to Darlington. Part two to follow later this week.

England boss Fabio Capello named his preliminary 30-man squad for the World Cup yesterday.

Here’s our thoughts on the men entrusted with our summer hopes.
