This morning in the Washington Post, Steven Goff wrote a column indicating the MLS is strongly considering doing away with age restrictions for international players and will then allow seven full internationals per 18 man (perhaps a bump up to 20 man) senior squad. I can think of no possible policy change that would be […]

An international break is a perfect time to take a step back and look at the Premier League season thus far. Without a doubt it's been one of the most exciting ones in several years. Despite this, the number of teams that are playing like relegation candidates is perhaps greater than ever. Take a look at […]

Several months ago, EPL Talk published an article featuring the MySpace pages for celebrity footballers and commentators. While MySpace's popularity is starting to fade and more people are embracing Facebook, we thought it'd be good timing to point out which famous footballers are on the cutting edge of social networking and who have their own […]

Major League Soccer is now entering its adolescence after a somewhat turbulent infancy. As the league develops some history one thing has become perfectly clear: Dwayne DeRossario is the best big game player in the history of MLS.

Stayed tuned to this space from noon Eastern as the New England Revolution look to get yet another monkey off their back as they look to complete the Domestic Double. Standing in their path yet again is the Houston Dynamo who we know will be without Ricardo Clark, however it is looking very likely that […]

The US continued improvement on the road is a welcome sight for fans of the national team. International Football is all about performance on the road: grinding out results unlike Russia's failure today in Israel, and building confidence and an ability to play at altitude and in bad weather. Today the US took a big […]

Steve McClaren must be the luckiest man on earth today. In injury time between Israel and Russia in the Euro 2008 qualifier today, Russia had a shot that struck the post. If it went in, it would have been 2-1 to Russia and would have signaled England's downfall. But, luckily for England and McClaren, the […]

The US won another big road friendly with a 1-0 win over South Africa in the Nelson Mandela Cup. Steve Cherundolo scored the US goal. I'll have match ratings and some thoughts about FSC's coverage later in the day.

When was the last time so many millions of people around the world were so interested in watching what will seemingly be a boring match between Israel and Russia? Of course, we all know there is so much at stake in this game, especially for England. In the first and probably last time, Israel will […]

Platini campaigned for the presidency on a platform of opening […]
