Not sure if you caught Alan Mullery on Sky Sports last week, but he called Major League Soccer a "mickey mouse league." While it's far from that, I am in the land of the Mickey Mouse this week, that is Orlando, Florida. I'll be reporting throughout the week. For those of you looking for the […]

Another thrilling game where the Wizards outscored their opponents.

In the forthcoming second episode of the Major League Soccer Talk podcast, I interview actor/producer Andrew Shue, who is a former professional soccer player of some note about his new movie "Gracie." The movie opened nationally on Friday and is a must see if you are a Soccer fan. Not only does the movie combine […]

The final results have been tabulated for the latest EPL Talk poll and one of the answers is quite surprising. When asked "where do you primarily watch Premiership matches," 80% of the respondents answered "at home," but surprisingly, 10% voted "online via P2P." This may not be surprising to many of you. P2P (peer to […]

Is it a coincidence that the Premier League was scheduled to announce the fixtures for the 2007/2008 season on June 21st, but has now moved the date back to June 14th? Could it be because the arbitration hearing between Sheffield United and the Premier League is scheduled for June 18 and 19? The arbitration hearing […]

With the United States fielding a virtual "B" team for yesterday's full international versus China it was imperative for the two most experienced American attackers in the side to step up. Both DeMarcus Beasley and Clint Dempsey answered the call. Operating with more confidence in Bob Bradley's 4-3-3 formation than in Bruce Arena's 4-5-1 formation […]

Chelsea has announced that they'll unveil their new 2007/2008 away shirt during their July 17 friendly against the Suwon Bluewings in Los Angeles. The new Chelsea shirt (pictured) is supposed to be a flourescent green/yellow color from kit manufacturer Adidas. More details about the 07/08 Chelsea away shirt can be found here.

In November 2006, Chelsea launched a brand-new redesign of their web site in conjunction with Premium TV. Some of you may remember that I was the only US-based reporter at the press conference and I brought back interviews and photographs from the press conference. Well, Chelsea has now announced that they've made some significant changes […]

By John Nicholson And so another England game is consigned to the history books. It is a sign of just how little is expected of England that this morning, the press is writing up this performance as 'reinvigorating.' Indeed, much of the press coverage seems to see it as a return to some sort of […]

The Washington Post reports that Real Salt Lake are close to signing 37 year old Kasey Keller, the most capped Goalkeeper in US history to a three year contract. Keller who has played in Europe since 1994 has repeatedly stated he wanted to end his career stateside.
