Fiorentina's Juan Vargas was the hero for the Peruvian national team as he set up Johan Fano's equalizer in the last touch of the game on Tuesday against Argentina. Vargas wreaked havoc all over the left side of the pitch against a poor Argentine side and would put the fate of his team on his […]

Gabriel Heinze's days with the Argentine national team could be numbered after his fallout with Alfio Basile. His dreadful performance against Paraguay, his horrid own goal and his reaction to be subbed in favor of Getafe's Daniel Díaz will most likely leave him out of the upcoming call up that will occur in October. Heinze's […]

You can criticize his political leanings or the way he lived his life. Yet when it comes to telling the truth he never backs down. Diego Maradona will compliment you the same way he will criticize you. At the same time he has also been able to be yet just another person piling on in Argentina […]

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 […]

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 […]
