Bundesliga Talk recently went behind the scenes at the GolTV studios in Miami to discover what goes into a Bundesliga production. To show you more, we put together a video. Some of the highlights include a: Video segment showing how GolTV puts together the on-screen graphics we're used to seeing for Bundesliga matches on GolTV, […]

Well the rumblings of yesterday have come to fruition today, on two counts. The first happening in South America, the other happening at the Riverside. I can understand Carlos Tevez wanting his future sorted. But the situation with Manchester United seems to get crazier by the day. After firing back at Ferguson's claims of rejecting […]

Steve Davis one of the most respected and well versed soccer writers in America raised a troubling possibility in his weekly ESPN column Monday. This is the possibility that MLS and WPS will in fact compete with one another despite unprecedented efforts at cooperation by the domestic first divisions for both men and woman. We've […]

Sometimes rivalries, hate, and revenge aren’t the only things that allow violence to destroy a spectacle. There are cases in which violence is generated based on incompetence. When justice is given out in such a haphazard way, that in the end it ruins the spectacle it makes many people angry. That was the case when […]

The transfer window has been open a few days but there's only one signing that has been announced thus far in the Premier League and that's the Wayne Bridge move from Chelsea to Manchester City for an undisclosed sum thought to be around £10 million. It's so easy to get caught up in the big […]

There are strong rumours today that Tottenham Hotspur are on the verge of signing Portsmouth striker Jermain Defoe and Middlesbrough winger Stewart Downing; two arrivals that could be hugely important in the club’s push to stay in the Premier League.

It would be […]

Why are Tottenham fans still so unforgiving toward Hossam Ghaly is a mystery to me, but Friday night left me even more perplexed as to why the Egyptian is still disliked so much still at White Hart Lane. There were 12 minutes to go on Friday night and Ghaly seemed set to be sent on […]

On Monday, expect several of the talking heads on English football podcasts and radio to whinge and joke about the FA Cup. How the top football clubs don't treat it seriously anymore. How the FA Cup has lost its glamor. And how there are literally very few upsets compared to how many there used to […]

Borussia Mönchengladbach Rank: 18th Preseason prediction: 12th What was I thinking? Gladbach entered the Bundesliga having won the 2. Bundesliga with the most prolific offense and third-stingiest defense. They featured a versatile, if somewhat inexperienced side headlined by Germany's next can't miss prospect, Marko Marin. Season High: It all started off so well with an […]

Recently fellow colleague Kartik Krishnaiyer and I took a trip down to GolTV studios in Miami to interview three of the best football commentators in the United States: Ray Hudson, Phil Schoen and Lindsey Dean. All this week on Major League Soccer Talk we'll be bringing you a different exclusive video interview each day as […]

The biggest story to come out of the FA Cup Third Round this weekend was the way Manchester City was torn apart by Nottingham Forest. Given the media's need for a story, the immediate response from the press was to put Mark Hughes on the hottest of hot seats along with even starting the short […]

This seemingly inscrutable graphic actually details how my preseason picks (scroll down to the comments) have turned out thus far. We've reached the winter break in the Bundesliga and things haven't quite turned out as I expected. Those of you kind enough to point out that there's still a lot of football left to be […]
