Remember back in the scary days of March when this MLS season was on the brink due to the expired collective bargaining agreement? And at the almost last second the two sides agreed to a new CBA, which would include more rights for the players and a re-entry draft for certain players? MLS has finally […]

For the second consecutive match day, the English Premier League has given us a slate full of close, exciting matches. Whether it be a back-and-forth affair at Villa Park, leads being given-up and reclaimed at the Britannia, gifted equalizers at White Hart Lane or dramatically salvaged points at Goodison, the league was full of compelling […]

One year ago today, Robert Enke tragically took his own life after failing to come to terms with severe depression. We pause today to remember and honor his memory, so that in the future tragedies like this one can be avoided. Robert Enke was a professional on and off the pitch, and his memory will […]

Newcastle United may have slipped to a disappointing home defeat at the hands of Blackburn Rovers, but their star striker Andy Carroll did manage to enhance is ever-growing reputation with another goal. Carroll’s equaliser was his seventh goal of the season, a tally that will surely be enough to see him named in the England […]

One week from today, the US Men's National Team will play South Africa in a friendly in Cape Town, and Bob Bradley has yet to release his squad for the match. The friendly comes at a bad time for most players – it is right in the middle of the major European leagues' seasons plus […]

Because of the vagaries of the Premier League schedule, we're faced with something exceedingly rare: a massive, massive Wednesday night in the Premiership, featuring eight (!) games. We'll of course be focusing in on the biggest match of the day, the Manchester Derby, where United fans will, non-ironically, accuse City of attempting to buy the […]

Love it or hate it, Fox Soccer Channel is the number one source for Premier League matches on U.S. television. Sure it could be better. But I don't believe it's ever going to be Sky Sports or BBC, or even ESPN. But what it does do is provide essential viewing for soccer fans throughout the […]

The news that Wolves and U.S. national team keeper Marcus Hahnemann is open to retuning to MLS in 2011 got me thinking about other Americans abroad. As the MLS has matured in a good and competitive soccer league, it is no longer absurd to think a world-class player could play in MLS. This is true […]

The first installment of this season's Manchester Derby takes place on Wednesday at Eastlands. Manchester United are coming off of a dramatic win at home where South Korean midfielder Ji-Sung Park bagged a brace with the winner coming very late on. It was one of those weekends in the Premier League where not only did […]

Anyone who watched last Saturday's match between Bolton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur on television would have seen Tom Huddlestone's deliberate stamp on Johan Elmander. The numerous TV replays of the incident saw Huddlestone take out his frustration by stamping his foot down on the calf of Elmander (fast forward to minute 8:37 to see the […]

Chelsea may be one of the richest clubs in the Premier League, but their matchday attendances are definitely not in the same league as the Big Four of English football. Rival clubs Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool all have bigger attendances. The problem for Chelsea is not their inability to sell tickets. Instead […]

As if mimicking Gob while The Final Countdown blared in the background, Major League Soccer hass made the wrong things disappear. At least that's what you'd be led to believe if you listen to the dissension of fans, with Major League Soccer finishing it's second playoff weekend with four Western Conference teams alive in the […]
