However, one would only need to look at Argentina's matches to see how the talented Messi who is widely regarded as the best player in the world becomes just another good player. In […]

Milan were once again guilty of wasting an opportunity to close in on city rivals Inter after the Nerazzurri drew 2-2 in Florence a day prior to Milan's match against Catania. The Rossoneri were determined enough to fight back to earn a 2-2 draw against visiting Catania but the club's response came perhaps a little […]

I'm noticing between Twitter and a few other things, there seems to be confusion over Portsmouth and the Europa League — due to them making the FA Cup final. Every year, UEFA makes any club who wants to take part in European competitions apply for a UEFA club license. Without the license, you can't take […]

As the Portsmouth players put on their uniforms in the Wembley locker room this afternoon, they were under no allusions about what the future held for them and their team. They were going to be relegated down to the Championship League after the season. Once there, they were far more likely to be relegated again […]

It was a perfect day in Chicago. Warm temperatures and brilliant sunlight lead most people in my suburban Chicago neighborhood to get out in the garden and start their spring clean-up. When my wife told my neighborhood I had tickets for the Fire home opener vs. San Jose, she was envious. I am a veteran […]

It's been a good few days for Fulham and Chelsea, the west London clubs that neighbor each other. Fulham are through to the semi-finals of the Europa League and will face Hamburg on April 22 and 29. Chelsea are through to the FA Cup Final after defeating Aston Villa at Wembley. But did you know […]

Linda Cuttone/Sports Vue Images Before the start of this match you had the feeling that either one side was going to continue a red hot start, or the other was trying to avoid a disaster into their third match to start this season. Well for Chivas-USA it was disaster averted when they got some help from Red […]

Barcelona emerged victorious from 'El Clasico' after beating Real Madrid 2-0 in Madrid. This was the first home defeat for Los Galacticos in la Liga and might signal the end of Real's challenge to wrestle away the league title from the Catalan club. Real's defenders looked shaky not only because of Lionel Messi's movement but also due […]

The 2009-2010 Premier League season is nearing its end, so we plan on launching the second year of the EPL Awards to recognize the best in soccer podcasts, players, managers, writers, online games — and everything else Premier League related. Before we launch the 2009-2010 EPL Awards though — and invite anyone in the world […]

Speculation continues that Manchester United will be the opponents in the MLS All-Star Game this summer, to be held in Houston. A July 28th date has been touted. Plus there have been reports of Manchester United touring a few other cities in the United States. Nothing official has been announced yet, but the rumors carry […]

Its that time of the year again when major sporting events signify the season of spring. The Masters, The Grand National and FA Cup Semi Finals. Growing up as a kid this was one of my highlights of the football season (at a time where there wasn't as many games on TV as there is now) […]

I figured since I gave my last transfer advice to Arsenal that I would be fair and give a little advice to their eternal North London rivals. Clearly Spurs are once again battling for a Champions League spot so the question for Harry Redknapp is who to buy/sell in order to secure (or retain, if […]

Liverpool has released a video of its players modeling the new Liverpool home football shirt. Worn by Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Dirk Kuyt and Jamie Carragher, you can see the players modeling the shirt in front of the photographers and TV cameras during a special shoot recently at a secret location. The Adidas strip represents […]

By 5pm on Saturday we may have a clearer view of the Championship relegation battle as Watford battle Plymouth and Crystal Palace welcome (i use the term loosely) Queens Park Rangers to Selhurst Park.
