The final of the UEFA Champions League featured two Spanish teams with Real Madrid defeating Valencia 3-0 at the Stade de France. Despite that Champions League victory, Real Madrid […]

Chicago Fire's Section 8 supporter's group created an incredible tribute to Mario Bros. this past Saturday in their game against Seattle Sounders. The supporters created a tifo, described as the name for any spectacular choreography displayed by supporters on the terraces of an arena or stadium in connection with a sport event.

We'll talk about that, Real Salt Lake's struggles at Rio Tinto, and ... And whatever you want discussed. This is your chance. Use the comments, below, to let us know what you want […]

This week's team of the week is an impressive one. After some big weekend results, some of the league's less recognizable players have forced themselves into the limelight. In goal, I have Schalke's Manuel Neuer. If not for him, Schalke could have been 4-0 down at half-time against Gladbach. He made two excellent saves to […]

It’s not often a regular 20 goal a season Premier League striker isn’t seen as a regular for the England side, but Darren Bent has bucked the trend with his continued failure to break through on to the international scene.

If I had to pick one Premier League match of the weekend from the past few days, the winner would easily be West Ham United against Tottenham Hotspur. The match seemed like it took me on a timewarp to the 70s or 80s when teams would often take long range strikes at goal and goalkeepers […]

I remember living in the United Kingdom in the early 80s. After spending a long day going to see your club either home or away, I would finally get home, take my boots off next to the fire, and sit on the couch with a hot cup of tea and then watch Match Of The […]
