Every World Cup cycle we are always ready for our US Men's National Team to improve with new players and challenge the best or what is considered the best teams within the Confederation of CONCACAF. That also includes the trip to Estadio Azteca and of course our rivals coming to the freezer at Columbus Crew […]

So all of the squads are in and Premier League clubs have managed to cope with the new rules on their squads. On the face of things after much debate it seems as if most sides have dealt with the rule with relative ease. But only time will tell if the rule will have […]

The Premier League season has ground to a halt as the first international break of the season means that there will be no Premier League or Championship fixtures this weekend. Whilst only a small percentage of fans that would normally travel to watch their club play will be at Wembley to see England play Bulgaria, […]

As the summer transfer season comes to a close Premiership teams are registering up to 25 players to compete until January. Some have spent big, some barely spent at all but the movement of players is a key in any clubs success. However, now and again transfers don't work out at all, these so called […]

The sale of Robinho has marked the end of an era for Manchester City. The Brazilian arrived with high expectations of taking City to the next level and in a strange way he has sort lived up to the expectations. City fans will look back fondly to the day of Robinho’s arrival. He signing was […]

Arsenal supporters could blame Shay Given for their club's inability to sign a much-needed goalkeeper in the summer transfer window, but I really feel the blame needs to be aimed squarely at the shoulders of Arsenal Football Club. They needed to have a Plan B in place. They did not. And it's very possible that […]

Wow, that's all I can say seeing some of the transfers that have gone through in the past few days. While there aren't too many "big" names which moved around, there's are certainly some interesting, young and skilful players which are going to be wearing new jerseys this season. Let's see some of the signings […]

As England get set to play Bulgaria at Wembley on Friday a large section of the UK media will be sharpening its knives ready to plunge them into Fabio Capello. There is a sizeable majority of the media who would be only too pleased to see England lose to Bulgaria as it would ensure his […]

In July, I wrote a post for this site asking AC Milan fans for calm. The club had been quiet on the transfer market and Silvio Berlusconi had gone public in saying he intended to build his youth academy to help the team. I said at the time that if the club did not acquire […]

The summer transfer window in the Premier League has ended, and surprisingly The Other 16 clubs in the Premier League showed their muscle Tuesday by capturing most of the transfer headlines. Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal were deathly quiet. Instead, it was the turn of clubs such as Sunderland, Stoke City, Birmingham City and Wigan […]

Prandelli has announced the squad of 23 which will face Estonia and the Faroe Islands this International break for the Euro 2012 qualifiers. The azzurri will face Estonia in Tallin September 3rd, and then the Faroe Islands in Florence September 7th. While they aren't the toughest of opposition, Italy will also have to eventually face […]

Finally, after almost two years to the day, Manchester City have washed their hands of the great lame duck – Robinho. It's been a great mystery to the Premier League as to why the £32.5 million man failed to perform to his potential at Eastlands. While some might say it was the culture or the […]

Arguably one of the most surprising transfers of deadline day was Eidur Gudjohnsen’s move to Stoke City. The former Chelsea forward has agreed a season long loan at the Britannia Stadium from Monaco, but will the Icelandic forward fit in with Stoke’s notorious physical game? That will be the worry for Potters boss Tony Pulis who […]

Wolfsburg playmaker Zvjezdan Misimovic has completed a move to Turkey with Galatasaray after having his first-team place with Die Wolfe taken by new arrival Diego. Misimovic moved to Wolfsburg from Nurnberg in 2008, and helped Die Wolfe to the Bundesliga title under ex-manager Felix Magath. Misimovic's off the ball movement and creativity was an essential […]

Just yesterday I claimed that Tottenham needed to strengthen if they were going to challenge in Europe and domestically this season. While I thought a big name signing was unlikely I have been proved wrong in spectacular circumstances as Harry Redknapp made a sensational swoop for Dutch playmaker Rafael van der Vaart. At a reported […]
