This weekend, the Camp Nou hosts the first match between legitimate title contenders as FC Barcelona invites league leaders Valencia into the Catalan crucible on Saturday evening. Some might argue that the Atlético Madrid – Barcelona match in Jornada 3 provided the first clash between clubs that have a real chance to win La Liga, […]

In this week's installment of Friday Flashback Videos, we take you back to the 1973-74 season for a then glamor tie between Stoke City and Leeds United. Feel free to post your observations about the game in the comments section below. What did you find interesting or odd about the game?

Our week of focus on the United States' Men's National Team concludes with myself and co-host Christopher Riordan talking about Tuesday's match against Colombia and, more important, where the team goes from here. Then, we look forward to the 29th match day in the Major League Soccer season, with Saturday's action highlighted by a playoff […]

This season has been a great success for the New York Red Bulls as everyone knows they have went from worst to first within a season and that change in confidence has been amazing with both Hans Back & Eric Soler in charge of the club. At the same time you saw the one player […]

A war of words between Tim Wiese and Aaron Hunt has become public knowledge after the two submitted statements to the press following questions about the team's early season woes. The last thing Thomas Schaaf needs now, after everything Werder Bremen have already been through this season, is a big rift in the dressing room. […]

Did you miss us? Kartik Krishnaiyer, Laurence McKenna and I missed you during out near-two week break, with the EPL Talk podcast going silent during the international break. With players returning to their clubs, the show is back to look ahead to the eighth match day in the English Premier League. There is, however, this […]

Zvonimir Soldo's hard-nosed, defensive-minded Koln side will host one of the most attacking, open teams in the league this weekend in the form of Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund currently occupy second place in the Bundesliga after an excellent start to the season, which has seen them rise up from being seen as a side only able […]

Major League Soccer Talk's podcast will shift gears during tonight's recording. Although we will look forward to the weekend's action in Major League Soccer, the focus of my show with co-host Christopher Riordan will be the U.S. Men's National Team and, specifically, your thoughts on it. Tell us: What USMNT topics do you want covered […]

Does anybody enjoy the international break? Especially after horrendous US and England matches Tuesday, I'm glad to have our beloved EPL back. The 4-star match is, of course, the Liverpool derby, and it's a bottom-of-the-table 6-pointer to boot! Sorry, West Coasters, you simply have to get up early for that one. The bottom 4 face […]

No, you NEED to listen! In a game like yesterday's the result is of no consequence. England will still qualify handily for Euros, (but in all probability not go very far), and they weren't playing their strongest side by any means. Yet, even if the penalty was awarded and it finished 1-0 to England, I […]

It seems that the Brits are having a tough time getting to grips with the name of the Boston baseball team, the Red Sox. Both on Sky Sports News (see above screen capture) and in conversation (see video below), the Brits keep on calling them the Boston Red Sex. Or maybe it's a Freudian slip […]

Who was worse this week? The United States in their 0-0 draw with Colombia and 2-2 draw against Poland, or England in their nil nil draw against Montenegro? Vote now! [polldaddy poll=3918620]

One Italian national team played a match yesterday, and the results were quite dispiriting. With a seemingly safe 2-0 aggregate lead over Belarus, the Italian U-21 club found a way to lose 3-1 in the return match and be eliminated from the UEFA U-21 championship. The practical result is that the club not only will […]

Christian Gross becomes the first Bundesliga manager to face the sack this season after a woeful start to the domestic campaign which has seen Stuttgart collect just three points from seven matches. Recently, I did an article examining some of the reasons why Stuttgart have been on such a poor run. I came to the […]
