Watching the Chelsea against Liverpool match on Fox Soccer Channel courtesy of TWI, commentators Ian Darke and Robbie Earle were puzzled whether Chelsea's Michael Essien was awarded two yellow cards without being sent off or not. At first, they seemed sure the mistake had happened. Then later, after receiving confirmation from assistant referee Phil Dowd, […]

The major British newspapers are reporting that Sevilla manager Juande Ramos may be appointed the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur by the end of the week to replace Dutchman Martin Jol after a poor start to the season. Rather than ridicule Spurs for the potential decision to remove Jol so quickly, let's take a minute […]

After dominating the first half hour of play John Hackworth's US squad has been shocked in the U-17 World Cup by Tajikistan who has qualified for the first time for any FIFA event.

Josh Wolff withdrew from US Squad for the Sweden game following today's 3-1 win for his 1860 Munich side in Bundesliga 2 action. I'm not sure the reasons for his withdrawal but will post them as soon as I learn more.

17 year old Jozy Altidore, perhaps the most hyped young American player not named Freddy Adu scored twice as did former Aston Villa and River Plate Attacker Juan Pablo Angel. David Beckham gave the Big Apple what American soccer and MLS badly need in the nation's largest media market: an entertaining show. In front of […]

Media reports indicate as many as 60,000 fans could pack Giants Stadium for tonight's clash between the Red Bulls and the David Beckham led LA Galaxy. Beckham will be familiar with a number of the Red Bulls players, such as Claudio Reyna who helped lead a 3-1 victory for Manchester City in the derby match […]

This European heavy squad is interesting for its balance of regulars for 2007, returning players seeing their first call up since Germany 2006 (like Josh Wolff and Marcus Hannehman) and youngsters (like Sal Zizzo, Kamani Hill, and Charlie Davies.)
