Adrian Hanauer has essentially offered Seattle Sounders FC season ticket holders their money back. In the wake of the worst loss in franchise history – a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of league-leading Los Angeles Galaxy – the Sounders general manager has quickly and publically made it clear that the performance is not indicative of […]

Dueling 4-0 results for the MLS conference leaders saw the Los Angeles Galaxy continue to distance themselves from the league while the short-handed New York Red Bulls suffered one of the season. On this edition of the Major League Soccer Talk podcast, Inside the Six host Kevin McCauley joins me for the weekly review show, […]

Grant. Scolari. Hiddink. Since the acrimonious departure of Chelsea's revered and beloved Jose Mourinho, who gave the club its first taste of sustained glory, a revolving door of big-name managers have cast a dark cloud over Stamford Bridge. This is not to say said coaches came and went without accomplishment. Scolari aside (who was an […]

At the end of Hull City's nil-nil game against Liverpool Sunday, supporters ran on to the pitch but unfortunately there were no stewards to escort the players off the field. As a result, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was encircled by supporters and demonstrated his frustration by pushing one teen away (see above video). Hat tip: […]

Congratulations to Chelsea on an amazing 8-0 win against Wigan Athletic as they removed any doubts on the final day of the season whether they were worthy Premier League champions or not. They are. The goalscorers on the final day of the season for Chelsea: Didier Drogba, hat-trick Nicolas Anelka, two Salomon Kalou, one Frank […]

While the first forty-five minutes on Sunday were not kind to Manchester United in their hopes of winning the title, one thing was completely unexpected… If you were watching the game on Fox Soccer Plus, Manchester United’s game hadn’t even kicked off before Chelsea took a 1-0 lead thanks to the strike of Anelka.

La Liga leaders Barcelona escaped with a 3-2 win from Sevilla after what appeared to be a rout at one point turned into a nerve-wracking end to an entertaining match. On the other hand, Real Madrid dismantled Athletic Bilbao 5-1 to keep the pressure on leaders Barca with one point separating both sides. The title's […]

This was the first time that Red Bulls head coach Hans Backe would take a shellacking in Major League Soccer. This would be the first time the score would be lopsided against him. Who does he have to thank for this mess? It would be Luke Sassano as he got a straight red card on […]

Chad Barrett unleashed a force which is a sportsblogger's (writer's) dream today. Not only did he produce 2 goals against the Chicago Fire, he produced instant corny material to be used in titles for articles. On a more serious note, the performance put on by Toronto FC today was a combination of luck, hard work […]

As reports continue to surface that Gareth Barry may not be fully fit in time for the World Cup, Owen Hargreaves chances of boarding the plane with the rest of the England squad for South Africa have apparently increased. Despite making only one appearance for Manchester United in the past 20 months, a 2 minute […]

Leeds United's new home shirt for the 2010-11 season has been revealed. The Yorkshire club today were promoted from League One back to the Championship. Leeds's new football kit for the 2010-2011 season features white shirt, shorts and socks with a yellow and blue trim. Personally, I think this is one of the classiest Leeds […]

A photo of what is presumably Real Madrid's away jersey for the 2010-11 season has been leaked. The new shirt is navy blue with fluorescent green and white trim. It also looks like sun rays beaming from the Real Madrid crest on the shirt. What do you think? Do you love it or hate it? […]

Throughout the whole qualifying campaign, Capello always had an idea how his team were going to play and how the personnel he brought in suited his style and blueprint very well. Fast forward a few months later, he is facing a conundrum regarding the squad he is going to take to the World Cup. With […]
