Is Roy Keane smirking right now? Is he rolling his eyes? Both? For two years Sunderland was Roy Keane's baby. He took the struggling side, nurtured it back to health and delivered it from the relegation zone of the Championship and back to the top flight. In every transfer window he made moves to improve […]

Many critics of the American game, most with European orientations demonstrate nothing but disdain for the playoff system in football. For these critics the story of Indios needs to be told.

I admit it. I was fully dazzled by Amr Zaki when he first came to play in England. The stunning goals came so quickly. And they were gorgeous. Wigan Athletic's unknown striker just needed half a second on the ball to make miracles happen and it seemed like the goals were going to stream from […]

Why do managers always complain about opponents resting players on the last game of the season?
