Ten years ago, following the Premiership was a chore. For most people in the States and around the world, it meant buying a shortwave radio and listening in to the BBC World Service. But the Internet and satellite television changed everything. We're now spoilt by an overwhelming amount of soccer web sites, soccer radio shows […]

Was it me or was this past weekend one of the poorest weekends of English soccer on Fox Soccer Channel? There was only one live game, the Sunday 1:30pm EST kick-off between Aston Villa and Manchester City (which turned out to the best match).

This one is the new style that Adidas has launched, and looks almost identical to Liverpool's new home strip (scheduled for release this summer) except that it'll be red (of course) instead of blue.

Fox Soccer Channel must have been reading my mind. Two days after my previous post, FSC announced they were adding a new EPL highlight show entitled "Super Saturday Plus."

That's how much revenue Man United will lose if they don't qualify for the next round of the Champions League. What can you say about their game yesterday against Villarreal? The game was definitely more entertaining than the nil-nil scoreline suggests. The first 20 minutes, especially, were riveting as Man Utd delivered onslaught after onslaught […]

Watching Barcelona clobber Real Madrid this weekend, I couldn’t help but compare Spanish’s Primera Liga to the EPL. My conclusion is that: The skills on display during the Spanish crunch match were far superior to the EPL, The pace of the game is noticeably faster in the UK, and Spanish fans are much less passionate […]
