Like most American fans, my joy of European football is mostly experienced via my television set. So when I heard that the poor person’s version of the Champions League Final was coming to the U.S., I jumped at the chance (as did 81,806 other fans) to see Barcelona v Manchester United in person. When the […]

Looking back at this weekend's MLS action the one thing I noticed with many of the results was guts. Or fortitude. Or cojones. Or other less family-friendly terms. What I mean by all this is that so many of the results and so many of the players involved in them showed some real intestinal fortitude under conditions […]

Five years is a pretty long time for a manager these days. In 2010-2011 the English Premier League saw 50% of its teams fire a manager before, during, or after the regular season. Talk about job security. International football is nearly as bad –14 of the 32 managers in the 2010 World Cup were either […]

After a seemingly endless summer, the start of the Championship season is now less than a week away and I for one cannot wait for the greatest league in England to begin. With the weather still warm, the frustrations and failings of the previous season can be forgotten whilst victors can bask in their achievements […]

Fox Soccer Channel in HD will be coming soon to AT&T U-verse. U-verse's programming guide shows that channel 1654 will be the home of Fox Soccer Channel in HD (soon to be rebranded as FOX Soccer HD).

For a second year club, the Philadelphia Union have made huge strides in improving their squad. Most Major League Soccer prognosticators considered them a mid-finisher in the Eastern Conference, just missing out on the MLS Cup playoffs. Two key acquisitions have bolstered their defense, former F.C. Koln goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon and Colombian back Carlos Valdes, […]

Ever since I bought the tickets in April, I had been looking forward to July 27th. Besides seeing Manchester United already in Boston, I knew this experience was going to be simply insane. Having the opportunity to see the champions of England go up against America's elite was something I knew that I would cherish. […]

The Red Bulls completed their participation in the Emirates Cup on Sunday and they aren’t returning to the States empty-handed. They will return stateside as the 2011 Emirates Cup champion.

Let me start off by admitting that I am a new fan to soccer and I think, as a new fan, if the last five months are any indication, they've seriously gotten me interested in the sport. I am almost your typical American who has been deeply entrenched in one or more of our major […]

Today marks the two year anniversary since the death of the great Sir Bobby Robson; a man who got a fantastic send off from the world of football that was fully deserved. I can still remember the day I woke up to find a text from my mate which merely said “Sir Bobby has gone […]
