For the neutral or Liverpool supporter, Sunday's massive fixture between England's two most historically successful clubs had it all: sending offs, goals, incredible atmosphere, more beach balls & definitely loads of drama. Are United's fiercest rivals & Northwest neighbors slowly becoming their bogey team? It's now been three painful defeats in a row & United […]

This past weekend saw quite a few talking points in what remains the most exciting, entertaining & most dramatic football league in the world, the English Premier League, or more officially, the Barclays Premier League. Any given weekend in the EPL reminds me of a series of highly entertaining films based on various genres. Most […]

Supporters of various national teams across the globe are already packing their bags, updating their passports & booking flights to South Africa for next Summer's World Cup Finals. With their beloved nation's automatic qualification secure, they've only the stress-free decision of which player's replica kit their going to wear during their teams opening match left […]

The England U21's continued their qualification campaign for the 2011 European Championships v. Macedonia Friday at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry. The match featured Premier League & Championship talent from the (young) Three Lions & ended up being quite an exciting & high scoring 9-goal affair.

As we enter into another International break, many Hammers fans will quietly be asking themselves that exact same question.

The Everton […]

(While we all catch our breath from the Champions League,...) Sunday, the 20th of September, 2009 marks (by my estimation) the 154th Manchester Derby. Also by my estimation, this weekend's match is quite possibly one of, if not the most important match the 2 clubs have ever played against each other. No one can forget […]

Is football hooliganism in the U.K. more prevalent than ever? In an age of astronomical transfer fees, CCTV, better policing methods, higher ticket prices & all-stadium seating, one would think not. Aren't we always led to believe that football in the U.K. has emerged triumphantly out of the dark ages of the 70's & 80's? […]

Raise your hand if any of the following criteria apply to you: have you been a football supporter for ten years or less? have you "picked" a top European club to follow? do you currently reside in one of the 50 States that make up this fine country? If you answered Yes to any or […]

(Can a simple name change effect results?) Last Friday, August 21st, 2009 was in my opinion a small step back for football in this country. The controversial day marked the end of World Soccer Daily, the only daily football talk show in America. The sense of community that I & so many other American European […]
