You're an owner of a Premiership team, one that's well-known all across Europe and is one of the best-supported in England. You've just gotten rid of your manager, one who you brought back just a few months ago to rescue the club from perennial mediocrity and is a hero to the fans. Those fans are […]

A funny take on the half-time talk. While English in origin, it works for any team in the Bundesliga. Enjoy!

Poor Robbie Keane has joined the growing list of Liverpool players to be burgled over the not too distant past. He, along with at least six other players (now past and present) have had their homes burglarized in the Liverpool area. This makes me ask, after the first three, why wouldn't the police force of […]

Wayne Rooney returns with his second part of an interview with Fabio Capello to discuss all sorts of topics including Coronation Street, WAGs, opera, music and culture. Enjoy. [display_podcast]

RTE, the Irish broadcaster, has mocked Setanta Sports with a cheeky video featuring two comedians impersonating Setanta presenters Paul Dempsey and Pat Dolan. Dempsey is a former Sky Sports reporter who was interviewed by EPL Talk in 2007. Dolan is a former Arsenal reserves footballer who currently manages a team in Ireland. The skit was […]

Blanco after last night’s game/Getty Images A number of postings on this site have been spent criticizing both MLS and Cuauhtemoc Blanco himself. However, last night I felt honored as I witnessed live both Blanco’s 100th cap and his final appearance for Mexico in a 2-1 victory over Canada in Chiapas. Blanco has been a […]

The success of USL-1 sides in the CONCACAF Champions League when contrasted with the failures of MLS sides make this a non-starter. The talk of Major League Soccer placing one or more teams in the Copa Libertadores sometime in the near future has once again began in earnest. This idea would quite frankly be laughable […]

Mexico is reasserting itself as the dominant CONCACAF power. Last night's 2-1 win over Canada in Chiapas saw Mexico once again mix the old and the new as far as player selection. Honduras beat Jamaica at home and finally the Hondurans who have for years been talented enough to break through in a weak region […]

Nike's "Take It To The Next Level" is back this time with Andrea Pirlo. When is a wall not a wall? When it's made up of more people than would normally take to the pitch during any one game. But Italian playmaker Andrea Pirlo doesn't see walls, he sees goals.

On a day when football finally came home in the form of England’s heroic 4-1 victory over an arrogant and vastly over rated Croatian side, “anti-football” scored a big victory as well. While youngster Theo Walcott provided the heroics for England, no youngster of Walcott’s caliber was in the negative looking and tactical side Coach […]

Thank you Mr. De Rossi for your two goals against Hector Cuper's Georgia and what goals they were. With a cannon shot in the 16th minute, coming from over 25 yards out, Daniele De Rossi would provide Italy the match winner. No chance for the Georgian keeper as De Rossi's kick from straight out was rising and curved into […]

On Wednesday, there was only one TV network in the UK where you could watch the 2010 World Cup qualifying match against Croatia and that was Setanta Sports. Well, at least legally that is. While only four million people in the UK had access to Setanta's pay channels yesterday, the remaining England football supporters were […]
