It might only be for five days, but Manchester United has the chance to jump Arsenal and Chelsea in the league standings when it welcomes Hull City for the only Premier League game scheduled for the weekend on Saturday. It's an FA Cup weekend, after all. But there's still plenty of action for you on […]

There were many signs in the past few months, which showed the upcoming ending of Torsten Frings career in the national team. Now after a conversation with national-team coach Joachim Löw, the national-team career of the defensive midfielder of Werder Bremen is definitely over! Löw explained his fromer key player Frings, that he wouldn’t be […]

Belief is an oft-used word by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, as he has belief in his team's abilities to vie for the league and perhaps more. There's unquestionably great technical skill at the Emirates, but more often, at crucial moments, belief is what Arsenal lack. The Gunners will relish their top spot in the league […]

Editor's note: MLS Talk writer Josh Pedley recently sat down with Sigi Schmid to reflect on the 2009 season, to take stock of Seattle's successful season and to look ahead to 2010.

I just stumbled across this trailer for "Looking for Eric", the 2009 film directed by Ken Loach. The film opened at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, and was released across Europe throughout last year. So far, there are no US DVD (Region 1) release dates. It looks like a good one, I wonder if us […]

It goes without saying that the devastation from the Haitian Earthquake is unlike anything we have seen in this region in recent times. Not even Hurricane Kartina comes close. As somebody who has regularly seen the Haitian team play live in person (since the majority of their friendlies are held in Florida, not Haiti) I am still […]

I won't argue that Liverpool FC deserve something more out of the last two matches based on form. Reading were the better team in both cup ties and Stoke were just about on par with the flailing Merseyside giants last weekend. And with Torres, Gerrard and Benayoun still out for today's fixture, one feels like […]

After this weekend's action, the eyes of Italy will be on its largest metropolitan city. The Milan derby could move AC Milan within striking distance of first or could help Inter Milan put some distance between itself and its rival. And the two clubs are approaching this game from opposite directions: Inter striking some luck […]

It’s probably not often that Manchester City and Prince get mentioned in the same sentence. I doubt the little funky fella spends much time pondering events at Eastlands or writing songs inspired by Micah Richards.
