After two fantastic wins at Red Bull Arena the Red Bulls had a tough task at hand when they traveled to Columbus, Ohio to face the Crew. The last time they got a victory at Crew Stadium was in the 2006 season, capped by a highlight goal by Jerrod LaVenture. It got started early for […]

With the rest of the league tightening up, the two teams who are beginning to look adrift are sitting at the top, and the bottom. Manchester United is now 11.93 points ahead of City, while Wolves are 11.68 points behind Blackburn in 19th. United were among the week’s top scorers once more and again found […]

Newcastle United has come a long way over the past several seasons. Since relegation in 2009, the team has fought its way back to becoming a contender for Europa League qualification and an outside shot at a the fourth Champions League spot. It’s a journey that few clubs are able to make so soon after […]

Oh Swansea, my Swansea. Well, they’re not my team, though they have been adopted as the favored squad of most Premier League neutrals. Silky smooth, yet flamboyantly frustrating, the Swans pass the ball around the park, only for it to be intercepted when Nathan Dyer entangles himself with six yards of the goal. Nobody can […]

It's that time for the weekly Reader Mailbag. It's your chance to ask those questions that have always been on your mind, but you always forget to ask! Until now 😉 Q: Todd asks ...

Barcelona in recent seasons has been lauded as potentially the greatest side in modern football. However, does this fluid and total football playing side have any flaws?

I will continue my attempts to quantify what's happening in Major League Soccer through some statistics discussion.

If you've been watching a lot of the TV commercials on FOX Soccer recently, you will have noticed what seems to be an increase in the amount of adverts promoting its sister network, FOX Soccer Plus. During the promo ads you will have heard things such as "If you don't have FOX Soccer Plus, you're […]

I recently chatted with Soccernomics co-author Simon Kuper to discuss several topics regarding world soccer. Kuper, whose latest book Soccer Men is now available in stores, talked about what impact (if any) soccer has on politics, as well as how he began his career in journalism. Alex Fairchild (AF): Could you describe your childhood? How did you […]

Serie A could be in danger of exploding in scandal once again, and this time the damage could be even more lasting.
