(CNN) -- Fallujah and Ramadi may have been sites of heavy bloodshed in recent days, but the Sunni Muslims of Iraq's Anbar Province, where the two cities are located, have long held a contemptuous attitude towards the embattled government of Prime Minister (and Shia Muslim) Nuri al-Maliki. Iraqi politics and many aspects of economic and social affairs have come to be dominated by antagonistic relationships between the country's Sunni and Shia populations. Nowhere is that more evident than in Anbar. For all intents and purposes, Fallujah and Ramadi are now out of the control of the central government and are now ruled under the authority, to differing degrees, of Sunni militiamen, local (tribally influenced) police, and extremist militants from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS.

Roy Hodgson has urged his England assistant Gary Neville to give up being a TV pundit and become a full time coach when he takes a decision on his career in 2016. Neville, who would be a contender to succeed Hodgson if he were to leave the England job after Euro 2016, has said that he will make a decision next year on whether to opt for the media or football management full time, recognising that he can’t keep a foot in both camps indefinitely. If Hodgson wished to retire in 2016 and the team had been successful, Neville would be a natural replacement as England manager – but Hodgson hopes that when the time comes he will opt for coaching over his media work with Sky Sports.
