Monday, 16 June 2003.
It's another beautiful day, why not sit out and enjoy the sun with a good book.
Today is day 16 of The Close Season...
Throughout the month of June players in England are given a break away from the game and only international, small-side, armed forces and scout matches are permitted.
Without any football for a whole month, TheFA.com is here to help you through every day in June with our guide, Close Season Encounters, pointing you in the direction of your daily dose of the Beautiful Game...
Pompey fans have a dilemma when selecting what to read as two new releases look back at the promotion to the top flight, under the tutelage of Harry Redknapp, of newboys Portsmouth. Sleeping Giant Awakes: The Story of Portsmouth's Rise to the Premiership hits the shelves at the same time as Life and Chimes, which charts the last year at Fratton Park.
For today's action, it's back down to the Toulon tournament where Burkina Faso meets Mexico at 6pm followed two hours later by Colombia and Poland in the Group A games at Stade Pourcin in Fréjus.
