On behalf of EPL Talk, I’d like to wish you and your family a Happy Fourth Of July!

On this, America’s Independence Day, I’ll be relaxing, watching some Wimbledon tennis on TV, and spending the day with my family, with food and fireworks in store for later tonight.

Here’s to you and your family having a wonderful day, too. And thanks for being a loyal reader to EPL Talk.

For those of you who are hungry for more soccer news and debate, we’ll have a few stories throughout the day. While most of America is shut down today, there’s plenty of news coming in this morning from abroad.
