In today's edition of The Times print newspaper, Football Editor Tony Evans has written a column admitting that the paper made a mistake in publishing their article about the Dream Football League. One week ago, the exclusive article by Oliver Kay in The Times set the soccer world alight, claiming that the Qatari royal family was planning on launching a […]

There were plenty of talking points in today's action in the Premier League. Plus, there were a couple of surprise results. If you missed any of today's four Premier League matches on gameweek 30, here are the highlights: Sunderland vs Norwich City Video unavailable Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham Video unavailable Chelsea vs West Ham United […]

Roberto Martinez has defended Wigan footballer Callum McManaman for this tackle against Newcastle United's Massadio Haidara. Here's what Martinez said in front of the BBC Sport cameras post match: "If you see a lot of [McManaman], you'll realize he's not that type of player." "The referee was in a very good position, and I'm sure he […]

Here's an exceptional illustration from artist Dan Leydon featuring Italy legend Andrea Pirlo. The illustration is available for purchase as a print from Etsy. Who wouldn't want Pirlo staring down at you all day in your home?

Wigan Athletic staged a late comeback against Newcastle United Sunday, but the 2-1 victory was marred by a horror tackle committed by Callum McManaman on Newcastle United's Massadio Haidara. Unbelievably, McManaman was not cautioned for the lunge on Haidara in the first half at the DW Stadium. When McManaman and his teammates walked off the […]

Despite some of the more odd pairings for MLS Rivalry Weekend/Day (you can just taste the hatred between the Union and Revs!) the attempt by MLS and its TV partners to drive attention and viewers on a crowded sports weekend by putting so many hated teams on the pitch over two days led to some […]

Four matches are on deck today in the Premier League — two of them are London derbies, and the other two are relegation battles. The early kick-off today is Sunderland against Norwich City. The Mackems sit just six points above the relegation danger zone, so a defeat today for Sunderland will keep them nervously close to […]

Despite there being one nil-nil draw in the Premier League today, there were still 14 goals scored in the other five matches played for an average goals per game of 2.33. Compare that to 7 games in MLS today where they had 10 goals scored and an average of just 1.42 goals per game. Who […]

West Ham United are rolling the dice that they'll be in the Premier League next season by mortgaging the £60 million they expect to receive from TV revenue for the 2013-14 season to manage the club's debts. With Aston Villa beating Queens Park Rangers today, it looks very likely that Reading and QPR will go […]

If the Philadelphia Union want to return to being in the 2013 Eastern Conference playoff picture, it figures that the partnership of Jack McInerney and Sebastien Le Toux needs to blossom. On Saturday evening in the Delaware Valley, that tandem netted the lone goal of the match, as McInerney converted on a Le Toux corner […]

A nearly full Sporting Park saw the one-time Wizards dominate play against Chicago Fire in Sporting’s home opener, but ultimately come away with nothing but a single point in the standings. Sporting started the match brightly, deploying C.J. Sapong on the right wing, where he combined well with center forward Claudio Bieler. Sapong’s industrial work […]

A Manchester City supporter invaded the pitch today during the pre-match warmup against Everton, and tried to pass himself off as one of the City footballers. The City supporter who was escorted off the field bears a striking resemblance to Manchester City defender Javi Garcia. But the Everton stewards weren't fooled when the City fan […]

A photo has been leaked of Italy's new home for 2013, which will be worn at this summer's Confederations Cup in Brazil. In my opinion, the above photo isn't flattering. When released, the official photos of the shirt may look better when it's actually worn by one of the Italy players, but right now it […]

It's a big day in the Premier League today. Manchester City has an opportunity to close the gap near the top from 12 points to nine. Everton will be focused on bouncing back after their shocking 3-0 loss against Wigan Athletic last Saturday in the FA Cup game. At 3pm UK time, there are four […]

Gabriel Agbonlahor and the sad decline of Aston Villa Football Club: There’s something awfully depressing about Aston Villa’s recent slump – something that has everything to do with Gerard Houllier, Darren Bent (7.8) and even Emile “Really big in Australia ” Heskey. A few seasons ago, Villa challenged for a Champions League place. These days, […]
