Chelsea's win Wednesday night against Benfica in the UEFA Champions League was a victory for the club, Roberto Di Matteo, the Premier League and England. So much was riding on the line. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't impressive, but Chelsea held on for a win against all odds — especially given the forgettable season they've […]

My name is Morgan Green and I am an American who has been a fan of soccer for the last 7 years. Throughout that time I’ve seen and heard a lot about my love of soccer and about the teams that I choose to follow. It’s a unique situation being a hardcore soccer fan in […]

Dimitar Berbatov was joint top scorer in the Premier League last season, along with Carlos Tevez, scoring 20 goals in 32 matches. This season he's only managed just seven league goals for Manchester United, but has only appeared in 10 league matches (only five of which he's started). His goal scoring record this season is […]

Barcelona's controversial win over Milan secured a fifth consecutive semi-final appearance in the Champions League to tie the record set by bitter rivals Real Madrid over 50 years ago. Ironically, the Spanish giants might end up clashing in the final in a European version of the famous El Clasico. Barca's path to Munich appears to […]

Squeaky Bum Time- As the clock ticks on this year’s Premier League, fantasy managers everywhere are beginning to sweat. Whatever your motivation – pub bragging rights, office sweepstakes, England job – the importance of cashing in on opportunities now couldn’t be clearer. With that in mind, here’s a bit of advice: If you haven’t yet […]

Twenty-two athletes, two goals, and one ball. In England, commentators refer to it as, “A Funny Old Game,” though for many that statement is far from sound. The game is football, futebol, or in America, soccer. While Americans fervently follow gridiron, basketball, and baseball, none of these games have changed international history or altered how […]

Arsenal's new home shirt for the 2012-13 season is this year's worst-kept secret. After the initial leak in February, followed by an image from an industry trade show a couple of weeks later, we now have a third (and probably final) image of Arsenal's home jersey for the 2012/13 season. And it's the best, most […]

Being a Chelsea supporter has brought its fair share of ups and downs over the past few seasons. No player has embodied this more than Fernando Torres. There is no question that the striker has not scored enough goals to justify the $80 million Roman Abramovich shelled out for him during last season’s January transfer […]

After spending some time going through the remaining fixture list, I have begun the process of projecting the final standings for the 2011-12 season of the Premier League. Now, obviously, with any type of projections, injuries and dips in form are difficult to foresee. However, based on these projections, there are a few things that […]

“He was the best person we could have got in to play the number nine shirt.” That’s how Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish described the £35m capture of Andy Carroll shortly after the striker’s move to Anfield last year. It was a deadline day transfer that surprised many. Despite an impressive start to his Premier League […]

We're coming upon the end of the first month of 2012 Major League Soccer season action. Heading into this season, MLS Digital decided to completely rebuild their MLS Matchday Live (MDL) setup, and rebrand the product to the simpler title, "MLS Live." In this MLS Live product review, I will share my experiences with this […]

Owen Coyle’s Bolton side enhanced the chances of at least one famous ‘Wanderers’ side playing in the Premier League next season as the Fat Lady filled her lungs and bellowed out a damning chorus for the other on Saturday. Yet another scintillating 60 minutes of football from the home side was overshadowed by a disastrous […]

We're just weeks away from the launch of the UEFA Euro 2012 video game from EA Sports, which will be available to FIFA 12 customers at the end of April. And now a trailer has been released to promote the game (see below). If private leagues are available in the Euro 2012 expansion pack, is […]

If soccer was played on paper, Liverpool would be challenging for a place in next season's Champions League whilst Newcastle would be scrapping, trying to avoid relegation to the nPower Championship. That was the opinion of many pundits before this season kicked off. The Reds were expected to finish top four or at least come […]

Even though soccer is the world's most popular sports, there's a surprising lack of films about the beautiful game. In America, it seems that there are more movies about college football than the soccer variety. But we've combed the video stores, e-commerce sites and streaming destinations to pick out the best-of-the-best — everything from documentaries […]
