Milan only managed a point after a 1-1 draw at Catania but the Rossoneri remain on top of the league standings by two points despite Juventus recording an impressive 3-0 win over Napoli. On Paper, Milan's schedule is much easier due to two main reasons- the Rossoneri will play 6 of their final 8 matches […]

In an instant, an impending stalemate at Ewood Park became another step to the title for Manchester United, as Antonio Valencia broke the deadlock in the final 10 minutes to spur the defending champions onto victory over Blackburn, 0-2. The home side knew that the key for their day would be to secure things defensively, […]

Welcome to this week's Monday Morning Sweeper, the new name for our weekly Monday column rehashing all of the action from this weekend in MLS. If you remember last week's column, we are trying to make this feature different and entertaining while still getting you caught up on all of the action that occurred on […]

Yesterday's Newcastle United against Liverpool match demonstrated the flaws in modern soccer. The simulation by James Perch after a clash of heads between him and Pepe Reina was a prime example of this. The blatant deception of officials seems to be the latest fad in soccer, and more specifically English football. The universal opinion in […]

A few weeks ago I took a glance at the main contenders for the PFA Player of the Year Award 2011/2012. Robin van Persie aside, there was a definite lack of stand-out performers jockeying for position in the shortlist of six, making my choices reasonably straight forward. The Young Player award, on the other hand, […]

Sebastien Le Toux came back to Philadelphia on Saturday as expected to face his former club.

The lead-up to the match was […]

If Fernando Torres can do it, why can't Andy Carroll? Newcastle United host Liverpool in the early Sunday kickoff in a match that will see the return of Andy Carroll to the hallowed pitch at St. James' Park. It'll be interesting to see what the reaction is to Carroll and Enrique from the Geordies. Here […]

Was it just like watching it at Highbury? Was it just like watching it at the Camp Nou? Well to be honest, it was just enjoyable to see it happen at Red Bull Arena, as Thierry Henry scored his first hat trick in Major League Soccer in a thorough 5-2 dispatching of Montreal. Down a […]

It is easy to get lost amongst the labyrinth of media and hyped egos that is the Premier League. So often it is the case that the side issues — claims of racist acts. off field endeavours of eccentricity, and adventures of infidelity — get more attention than a good pro doing a great job. […]

Today is one of those rare Saturdays when there are no early kick-off nor late kick-offs in the Premier League. Instead we have seven Premier League matches all kicking off at the same time (10am ET/3pm UK time). In the race for the Premier League title, all eyes will be on Etihad Stadium where Manchester […]

The dust has settled, the bitter acrimony has crested and now it is time for perspective. The United States will not be going to the London Summer Olympics. Neither will France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Argentina, Chile, Australia, the Ivory Coast and Ghana. England wouldn’t have qualified either if it weren’t part of the […]

The atmosphere was charged in historic RFK Stadium as two teams on opposite sides of the standings faced off in front of a national TV audience. DC United was winless in their first three matches and had scored one goal; the Black and Red were looking for an elusive home win to set their season […]
