Was the United States robbed by the referee against Slovenia? Perhaps, but we were all robbed of a football match from England and Algeria, two results that overshadowed the days' biggest surprise: the? Serbian derailing of the Nationalmannschaft.

Wayne Rooney has never been one to hide his personality. His temper on the field has been scrutinized for years, but most Rooney and Manchester United fans chalk it up to the passion and heart he has for the game and for winning. The same passion and heart that makes Rooney one of the best […]

As the three lions bow their heads in shame and continue to yawn and whimper their way through what was supposedly the easiest group they've ever encountered, I feel the need as one of their biggest fans, at least on this site, to step up and face the music and admit my passions exist for […]

England continued their dismal 2010 World Cup performance today with a 0-0 draw against Algeria. After England's 1-1 draw last week against the United States, everyone expected England to come out guns a-blazing against Algeria. But the way they played was embarrassing. Wayne Rooney was absolutely abysmal yet again for England. And as he was […]

US soccer fans and players must feel pretty cheated today after referee Koman Coulibaly disallowed a perfectly fine goal by US player Maurice Edu. Watch the video evidence above. So far, all of the analysis of the USA against Slovenia games shows that referee Koman Coulibaly made the wrong decision. That includes Match Of The […]

The most hated man in America today is referee Koman Coulibaly who denied the US a certain goal which would have been the game winner against Slovenia. However, Coulibaly, a referee from Mali, called for a foul. It was one of those phantom decisions that bewildered everyone watching the game and is one of the […]

For England, it's more important than ever for them to win this match especially if the games in Group C will go down […]

Miroslav Klose received two harsh yellow cards and was sent off just before half-time, and seconds later Milan Jovanovic opened the scoring for the Serbians. Time and again the Germans would push forward, even cracking the woodwork through a volley from Sami Khedira, but their possession would in the end count for very little. After […]

This is the game that matters the most for the United States. The team needs to send a message to the rest of the world that the 1-1 draw against England wasn't a fluke. Here's a game that has the opportunity to show what the United States men's national team is made of. But can […]

Episode 2 of Special1 TV has been released, and it's an instant classic. This one has many more laughs than the debut episode on BBC 3. It's one of those episodes that has a little something for everyone. It's a perfect episode to watch in the build-up to today's England against Algeria game. Be champions!

Benitez has finally arrived at Inter Milan, the Spanish manager has signed a two-year contract to bind himself with the European champions. It seems that while Benitez is a great manager, he certainly is perceived as defensive. And while Benitez has said that he likes Jose Mourinho's old 4-2-3-1 system, it seems like he'll certainly […]

Let's face it. We soccer fans live in a bubble. We eat, live and breathe soccer. So much so, that it's sometimes hard to get a perspective on how popular, or unpopular, the sport is in the United States. I really enjoy speaking with people who aren't rabid soccer fans to hear their perspectives on […]

By now you have undoubtedly heard about the injury to Gigi Buffon and his questionable status for the remainder of the World Cup.
