The likelihood of Liverpool playing any pre-season friendlies in North America lessened today with Canada's National Post newspaper reporting that Liverpool will be embarking on a tour of the Far East to play several friendlies this summer. It's been a couple of years since Liverpool's last tour of North America. However this summer, the tour […]

ESPNsoccernet is reporting that David Beckham will make his LA Galaxy debut on July 21st against Chelsea, presumably at The Home Depot in southern California.

I had the pleasure this weekend of watching Gillette's Soccer Saturday from Sky Sports for my very first time. For those of you who don't know, the show plays on Saturdays and brings viewers all of the latest scores and news live from the Premiership matches. While we in America are able to watch five […]

Several months ago, I highlighted a new show that GolTV was adding to its programming entitled "Fans United." And even though I've been watching the episodes since it began, I only now got a chance to write about it. Bottom line: If you haven't watched it yet and you have GolTV, set your Tivo player […]

Hugo Sanchez is a living contradiction. In same time he aspired to be a great tactical manager he constantly criticized every recent Mexico manager until he landed himself the job. On one hand he marvels at the play of the United States and on the other he claims they are inferior to Mexico. On one […]

Oliver Tse from SoccerTV.com is reporting that starting with the 2007-2008 EPL season, the Monday night matches (usually at 3pm ET) will air on Setanta Sports instead of Fox Soccer Channel in the U.S. Presuming that the rest of the weekend schedule remains the same, that means that Fox Soccer Channel will keep the Saturday […]

The news for Premiership soccer fans living in America just keeps on getting better and better. This afternoon, at 3pm ET, the Colorado Rapids will be launching a press conference to announce the new name of their team: Arsenal Colorado. a new logo and new kit for the Colorado Rapids team (sigh). Yep, that's right. […]

It appears the rumors which I had personally dismissed as far fetched maybe in fact true: That the Colorado Rapids would be signing a partnership with Arsenal and changing their name and colors. Considering Arsenal's American Supporters club is even larger than its UK Supporters club this maybe a very savvy move for the MLS […]

Bob Bradley made Sunil Gulati's life a lot more difficult yesterday with the decisive 2-0 win over Mexico in front of a very hostile crowd in Glendale, Az. Much like Steve Sampson did 12 years ago when he was the interim coach while the USSF was waiting for Carlos Quieroz to become available, Bradley probably […]

Pre Game Thoughts: Nice to see ESPN with the big game set up and production for this one after the minor league shame of the Denmark TV broadcast. When is this game actually going to begin?????????????? ESPN has no shame.......this hype before the game is disgusting. I can only take so much of Dave O'Brien […]

American Forward Conor Casey, passed over for US World Cup team thanks largely to injury has decided to leave Mainz 05 and play in MLS. Casey who for some reason was consistently in Bruce Arena's doghouse despite being one of very few American attacking players to have proved his value in an upper tier European […]

The 2006-2007 season isn't even close to being over yet, but I'm already getting a lot of people asking when the fixtures will be announced for the 2007-2008 Premier League season. The fixture list is typically announced in late June. For example, the fixture list for the 2006-2007 season was announced on June 22, 2006.
