Soccer is by far the most popular sport in the world. But there are still two massive continents in this world (Asia and North America) as well as other regions where the sport could be much more popular and where the populations are burgeoning. However, FIFA continues to make cataclysmic mistakes that severely ruin the […]

Not only was this a depressing weekend for supporters of England, USA, Mexico and South Korea, but the news that all four teams had been knocked out of the tournament must have come as a disappointment to ESPN and other media organizations who are hoping to capitalize on the popularity of the 2010 World Cup. […]

Landon Donovan has been making news lately. From his solid play at the World Cup to a potential paternity suit, the American International has been finding his way into print in recent days. Turns out he's still on the mind of David Moyes as well. The News of the World is reporting that Everton […]

So how good is the US Men’s National Team? Over the past two years, the US team has fully revealed itself in relation to other teams and this is the report card- • The USMNT is well ensconced in the second tier of international soccer, which is no small feat. Over the past 20 years, […]

I now have a new all-time favorite soccer quote. After the English team drew against the USA and Algeria, barely beat Slovenia and was torn open and summarily dismissed from the World Cup by Germany, BBC commentator Chris Waddle had this observation: “England will never win the World Cup while playing a 4-4-2.” Ah, yes. […]

In all actuality, shouldn't we have seen this coming like some run away freight down the frozen road of Precedence St. set by all those England players before? A capitulation of the highest order, a failing against those we least want to fail against and lastly, an outcome that was so sure to happen, we […]

New photos of what appears to be Arsenal's new home jersey for the 2010-11 season have been leaked on the Internet. There's no confirmation that these are authentic or whether they're knock-off designs. However, many experts believe these are either the real-deal or very close to the new design which will be released by Arsenal […]

A new photo of Tottenham's new jersey for the 2010-11 season has been leaked on the Internet. Designed and manufactured by Puma, the new Tottenham home shirt features a retro design with navy trim.

Sunday's highly anticipated match day featuring two great international football rivalries ended in a relative fizzle, with Germany defeating England (4-1) and Argentina defeating Mexico (3-1) by multi-goal margins. To talk about those matches and Monday's two Round of 16 fixtures, I was joined by Kartik Krishnaiyer and Laurence McKenna for this edition of the […]

Earlier this season it was Red Bull Arena that opened up to praise and relief as one of the biggest sporting markets in the United States finally had their own soccer specific stadium with a European feel towards it. I still have to say that I am very lucky to walk inside of it every […]

Today was a watermark moment in world soccer. And, with great difficulty but complete honesty, I believe that today marks the final evidence that England is no longer a soccer giant. Depending on which side of the fence you sit on, this may seem like common sense or complete hypocrisy. But if we ever needed […]

Karma was on Germany's side this afternoon as Die Mannschaft dismantled an unorganized England side 4-1. Goals from the returning Miroslav Klose, Lukas Podolski, and two from wonderkid Thomas Mueller were enough to batter the old enemy and send them packing. In hindsight, Franz Beckenbauer's criticism of England appears to be correct. 'The Kaiser,' as […]

While it was tough to see the USA get eliminated on Saturday Afternoon from the World Cup we should be fortunate to see that Major League Soccer is back in action from their two week break and for the New York Red Bulls traveling to Kansas City facing the Wizards. Salou Ibrahim got the club […]
