Q: Why did he mention Dempsey and Howard in the title? A: It's a sneaky writer's trick. He name-dropped Americans who play in the Premier League to justify writing about USA v Brazil for EPLTalk.com. Q: Is that why he posted that hastily sketched drawing of Dempsey's mug as well? A: Yes indeed. Is there […]

The USMNT just finished a grueling stretch of seven competitive matches in twenty five days. As we enter July and the CONCACAF Gold Cup lets asses where the player pool is just a year out from the World Cup. Bob Bradley will be the coach for the next year and very likely beyond for another […]

Well, two days are left until the transfer window opens again and Manchester City look like they've signed two strikers to help Mark Hughes drag them up the table. I suppose they need some good news down at Eastlands after the ground flooded on Saturday due to flash floods. With both signings, City could have an […]

But not everything can be made faster and certain aspects of life take time before they bear the fruits of success. However, English […]

It is always interesting to see which nations dominate the Champions League because as sure as the sky is blue there will always be one country that stands out from the rest. When I got into football it was Spain and Italy with English sides nowhere near a place in the semi-final, let alone winning […]

For a very, very long time Manchester City have been dwarfed by their local rivals Manchester United. When it comes to winning trophies there are no comparisons, United are in a league of their own when it comes to success. That’s the way it will be in the future to, City will never be bigger […]

The build up had been going on for weeks, with the first teasers of the new kit advertised on the hoardings surrounding the pitch during Spurs' final home League game against Manchester City. "Glory Comes In Three Colours" read the tagline, and Spurs fans collectively shrugged at the thought of having another 3 kits for the […]

This is the photo that I remember Clint Dempsey when he was just starting out his National Team career. I remember him scoring that goal against Ghana to level the match at one. The fire, the passion and the glory of making it to the biggest stage of International Football. We all knew back in […]

I am gutted, exhausted, disappointed and further more my pride has been bruised and battered. I honestly thought after the first half ended that there was a slight chance of the boys to put on another solid performence against another top ten side and yell at the top of my lungs that our National Team has […]

Dunga got his tactical changes right in the second half and Bob Bradley didn't adequately make tactical changes to counter the Brazilians. Bradley's tactics and subs resembled the scared, conservative changes of the last two qualifiers and the first two group games of this event instead of confident superior coaching he demonstrated in the last […]
