The latest episode of I'm On Setanta Sports has a decidedly North American feel to it this week with a caller from San Diego, a letter from Toronto and a focus on Liverpool America FC with a Rafa Benitez interview. Be champions! [display_podcast]

The Premier League has its eye on securing an agreement in North America and Central America next that will bring itself a massive step closer to seeing the 39th Game become a reality. After the Premier League's historic agreement last week with the Asian Football Federation (AFF) where they agreed to work together at administrative […]

It used to be a lot easier. All top flight matches used to be played on a Saturday at 3pm GMT. There were no early kick-offs. No late kick-offs and, heaven forbid, no Sunday matches. Now, of course, everything has been turned upside down. Because only a few of the matches are played at the […]

Here are three articles from this weekend, all of which discuss a different aspect of how technology and television are changing the way we experience football. Enjoy. "Setanta In Funding Talks For UK Soccer TV" — Setanta is reportedly seeking new funding to prepare itself for the new bidding for the next round of Premier […]

It's been the same story from Liverpool and Arsenal all season. To become Premier League champions, both teams lack the consistency needed not only in their results, but also in their performances on the pitch. Saturday was another perfect example as both teams underwhelmed against opposition they should have beaten. The moment Arsenal stepped into […]

Yesterday was a day of reckoning in the Premier League. Good news for Aston Villa. Bad news for Arsenal, West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn Rovers. In sport, there are miracles, but there's a reason they call them miracles. They happen too infrequently. So, unless any miracles happen in the next few weeks, here's what we […]

Heurelho Gomes has grabbed his share of the headlines this season mostly for reasons that I am sure he and Spurs fans alike would rather not relive. In the first 3 months of the season it seemed a match week did not go by without the White Hart Lane faithful grimacing and groaning at another howler by the Brazilian […]

It wasn't a blowout like Spanish prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero predicted,but he would have won picking a straight winner. Whenever I talk to my non-fútbol friends, I can never seem to tell them that stats in the game I love lie. The one that lies the most is possession. Many people see a […]

It's a shame that the NCAA College Cup is not more publicized and marketed to the sporting public. College soccer is exciting, and it should get more attention. The NCAA is missing an opportunity with NCAA soccer. The 'Final Four' in NCAA basketball and the 'Frozen Four' in hockey have achieved much more fanfare. The basketball championships are […]

Houston Dynamo GM Oliver Luck doesn't like to lose. That's a good thing because in his tenure the Dynamo haven't done much losing. The former West Virginia and Houston Oiler QB is a competitor of the highest order and when things don't happen the way they are supposed, Luck isn't going to sit with folded […]

Tonight provided the ultimate shock as Brooks Haggerty made save after save to preserve a 1-0 North Carolina victory over heavily favored Wake Forest tonight. The Deamon Deacons steam rolled through last year’s NCAA Tournament and had done the same this year including a 5-0 quarterfinal win over South Florida. Led by Marcus Tracey, Wake […]

This could possibly be the real Derby d'Italia at least I'm sure most Rossoneri claim it to be.
