In a weekend where there were plenty of wonderful goals scored by the likes of Bryan Ruiz, Aron Johannsson, Aaron Ramsey and Gylfi Sigurdsson, one stood out in particular. And it's probably one that you, like me, haven't see until now. The goal was scored by César Pereyra for Belgrano in his team's 3-0 victory against Racing. […]

In the Championship, not enough credit or attention is being placed on the job Paul Ince has done at Blackpool thus far this season. The Tangerines have a thin squad, and I tipped them to be relegated to League One this season. But Ince has been resourceful, playing players out of position and spurring on […]

David Moyes is under criticism today for comments he made this past weekend after Manchester United's 2-1 loss to West Bromwich Albion.

Jol didn't mince his words regarding the criticism: “I can’t criticize them. They pay their money to watch us and express their feelings. I could easily say ‘bugger […]

In some Manchester United circles, it might be blasphemous to say one of their players shares the same characteristics as a Liverpool player. Especially when the Liverpool player is the “evil” Luis Suárez. On the other hand, Liverpool supporters might consider it sacrilege to have one of their players compared to the “vile” Roy Keane. […]

Luis Suárez makes his Premier League return today when Liverpool takes on Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. And with him could come a boost to Liverpool’s chances to stay in the title race this season. Liverpool got off to a quick start to the season without Suárez thanks to some solid defense and the […]

Barcelona's Leo Messi will be out of action for two to three weeks after injuring his hamstring yesterday against Almeria.

Manchester United’s season thus far has been anything but spectacular. David Moyes is yet to figure out his best squad and the team is struggling to not only score goals, but to prevent them. With a tough fixture list to start the season, the players needed to step up, which they have not done. In […]
