Our readers have already read a few stories about the Klinsmann/Garber mud-slinging affair. Don Garber finally took the bait, as Klinsmann had spent the better part of 6 months goading him into a war of words.

The trend among many sports video games is to make iterations year over year instead of seismic changes. The video game publishers know that soccer fans will buy the new FIFA game each year, and as long as those numbers are strong, there doesn't seem to be the driving need to make big changes. However, […]

Whether it’s promotion and relegation, or major USMNT players leaving Europe for the riches of MLS, Jurgen Klinsmann has taken numerous whacks at Don Garber’s piñata recently. And Mr. Garber, desperate not to lose any PR or standing in the eyes of the growing American soccer populace, fought back. It does reek of desperation, but […]

This week's war of words between USMNT Head Coach Jurgen Klinsmann and MLS Commissioner Don Garber is exactly what the league needs to make it more entertaining and intriguing off the pitch than on it.

As England struggled to break down Estonia’s defense on Sunday, Wayne Rooney was once again a central figure for all the good and bad moments.

The recently crowned World Cup champions, Germany, haven’t had the best of starts to their Euro 2016 qualification campaign.
