Many of us have been in love with our football teams longer than our relationships with our partners. Family members come and go while football teams always stay with us. But when a loved one departs, what better way to pay tribute than to send flowers? And for a massive football fan who dies, why […]

UEFA have annulled an earlier decision to exclude Porto from next season's Champions League.

Sven Goran Eriksson's hiring by the FMF has been hailed as a dawn of a new era of Mexican dominance over CONCACAF.

With all the Euro 2008 coverage over at our sister site EPL Talk, I've decided to focus on club football though I am still actively watching the tournament games. I decided to watch the matches as a fan and leave the punditry to others for that particular competition. There is an ocean of information and […]

Miami is not known for good road signage. I've lived near the city for 24 years and I still get confused when I go downtown looking for the I-95 on-ramp. It's not that the signage is poor. In some places, it simply doesn't even exist.In Switzerland, it's an entirely different story. From the moment I […]
