Okay, so we are pretty settled into the 2009-2010 season and I am, yet again, having major issues with my fantasy team. What’s going on? How can I have 14 points in one weekend? How can Michael Turner do so well for Hull and not for Sunderland? How, in the name of all that is […]

If there was ever a doubt that the Premier League is the greatest league in the world, then tell the non-believers to watch today's Manchester derby. What a game. What a game! The match is an instant classic and a brilliant advertisement for football and the Premier League. Played at a blistering pace at times […]

AC Milan boss Leonardo has admitted Brazilian Ronaldino is not the player he once was, but insists the former Barcelona man is still very much in his plans. The 29-year-old won the Ballon d'Or back in 2005 but has yet to match the standards he set in his early years at the Nou Camp in […]

There are a lot of things that worry me about Liverpool FC's team this season. The match against West Ham United was a perfect example where they were fortunate to win after West Ham United played them off the park for large portions of the match. To me, Liverpool were blessed by individual performances at […]

Kartik was right. There was a buzz about this game – two solid, mature teams with something to prove. In the end, the Galaxy went out deserved winners. Some thoughts… Welcome back Sean Franklin. When 2008 Rookie of the Year Franklin tore his hamstring in mid May, Galaxy fans saw disaster. Franklin was the only […]

The influence of foreigners on football in England cannot be underestimated. While Coach Fabio Capello has guided England through the qualifiers and instilled a winning mentality amongst the players, the skills of English players such as Wayne Rooney and the presence of leaders like John Terry must also be credited with the change in England's fortunes. […]

Very few, if any football matches on the planet this weekend will feature the individual quality that tonight’s LA Galaxy-TFC match will provide. Julian DeGuzman will make his MLS debut against David Beckham, Landon Donovan and the Galaxy. You’ll also have the presence of Dwayne DeRossario arguably the most successful player in the history of […]

It wasn’t the strongest or most organised of European opposition but that wasn’t the fault of Everton. The rather convoluted route to a Europa League final derided with an experimental overpopulation of match officials has sometimes brought the validity of the event into question. I’m not sure if the shambolic way that AEK Athens defended […]

The latest video flashback takes us back to 1988 when England was a terrible football team despite finding glory just two years later in the 1990 World Cup. This video features Brian Clough and Brian Moore. Cloughie makes a flub in the beginning of the analysis but doesn't seem to care, which is followed by […]

The man you see down on the field turf is a hard nose player that gives his all to the club and tries his best to be a strong and needed player for this squad. No he doesn't have the greatest of abilities like Juan Pablo Angel, or Landon Donovan, not even the power shot […]

Nine months till the final. The lure of European football transcends merely the million dollar incentives; rather the Champions League represents a team’s arrival at the highest echelon of world football. Or at least it did when it was called the European Cup. Marketing men have milked football for every penny that’s available, and milked […]

After a ninety yard sprint, fuelled by hatred and loathing, Adebayor slid on his knees all the way into a double charge of violent conduct and improper conduct soon to be arbitrated at the mercy of the Football Association. An epic encounter of two contrasting football values was swept aside as legal wrangling; blame shifting […]
