It’s the Fourth of July and Americans around the world will be celebrating their independence today with barbecues, trips to the beach, fireworks and some rest and relaxation after a tiring but enthralling World Cup. Some of you may even be spending some time catching up on matches you may have missed, or replaying moments over again on television.

But whatever you and your family are doing today, I’d like to wish you all a Happy Independence Day. On behalf of me and the entire blogging staff at EPL Talk, thanks for being a loyal reader and have a wonderful holiday.
