'Tis the summer transfer season and virtually every player is being linked to Manchester City and Chelsea. In order to win, a team obviously needs good players. Chelsea needs to address the age of their squad and their aging stars. Manchester City, however, has spent something north of 500 million pounds and Mancini says he […]

Blackburn defender Phil Jones is at Manchester United for a medical today and is poised to make a £16 million transfer from Lancashire to Old Trafford, according to Sky Sports and The Guardian. Just like Jordan Henderson who signed for Liverpool today, the 19-year-old center-back is part of the under-21 England squad who will be […]

Norwich City have revealed their home kit for the 2011-12 Premier League season. The Canaries, who have one of the most memorable kit designs in English football, will be back in the Premier League wearing a kit designed by Errea. As the above photo proclaims, it's created in Italy, worn with pride and played in […]

Brian Clough dragged Derby County from the depths of the second tier to Championship success in the early seventies and gifted Nottingham Forest a similar fate later that same decade. Blackburn Rovers were not a byword for silverware when Kenny Dalglish (and Jack Walker’s millions) spirited them to the Premier League title in 1995. And […]

EA Sports are in Los Angeles this week for the E3 Expo where they demoed the much anticipated FIFA 12 video game, which will be available for general release in the Fall. The main new features of FIFA 12 are a new (1) Player Impact Engine, (2) Precision Dribbling, and (3) Tactical Defending. But another […]

In the months since the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Jozy Altidore has been a source of much frustration for United States men's soccer fans. Tonight he showed America why his Coach Bob Bradley continues to have faith in him. Altidore notched a goal and set up another as the United States overwhelmed Canada 2-0 at […]

Liverpool have signed English midfielder Jordan Henderson for £20million with David N'Gog going to Sunderland as part of the deal, according to Sky Sports. The deal is contingent on Henderson passing his medical on Wednesday as well as agreeing personal terms. But it looks very likely that Jordan Henderson will be playing his football at […]

Depending on which side of the fence you sit on, you either love or hate Pro Evolution Soccer (PES).

The bloom may be off the rose for Randy Lerner at Aston Villa, and the ongoing NFL lockout could cause more problems for the Premier League squad. Lerner earned praise from Villa fans when he took over the team in 2006, but after three consecutive sixth-place finishes in the league, Aston Villa dropped to ninth […]

Few countries in the world offer as much for soccer fans in the United States. Within range, there are tons of soccer-crazed bars and pubs, and the occasional national team game. This summer alone, we'll see Barcelona, Manchester United, MLS games, Copa America and much more. However, when it comes to watching the most important tournament for the […]

For Premier League fans everywhere, last year there was only one name synonymous with West Bromich Albion: Peter Odemwingie. Upon arrival from Spartak Moscow, it was clear that the Nigerian was prepared to deliver the goods; the striker became an instant fan favorite after scoring a winning goal on his debut against Sunderland. From then […]

I have mixed feelings on the eve of the United States' opening match of the 2011 Gold Cup. Everything that I was afraid of happening in the Spain match (except injuries) happened, and now Bob Bradley's team has U.S. fans nervous and somewhat pessimistic the day before they face the 76th ranked country in the […]

I don't know if my American soccer heart has ever been humbled as much as as it was Saturday. The '98 World Cup still stings, but nothing quite like Saturday. What humbled me had nothing to do with the pitch. It didn't come from Cazorla, David Silva or Torres. It wasn't even those dreadful beauty […]

Fulham announced this morning that Martin Jol has been appointed manager on a two-year deal. The prospect of seeing the always engaging Dutchman back in the Premier League is definitely something I'm looking forward to this upcoming season. During his time as manager of Tottenham, his team's performances were always entertaining to watch. His attacking […]

In what becomes the brand new transfer drama story of the week, Samir Nasri looks to go all in and leave the confines of Arsenal for Manchester United after "agreeing in principal to a five year, £90,000 a week gig." It's all a bit of flirting really; Nasri shows a little leg towards other teams, […]
