The latest episode of I'm On Setanta Sports has a decidedly North American feel to it this week with a caller from San Diego, a letter from Toronto and a focus on Liverpool America FC with a Rafa Benitez interview. Be champions! [display_podcast]

The Premier League has its eye on securing an agreement in North America and Central America next that will bring itself a massive step closer to seeing the 39th Game become a reality.

It used to be a lot easier. All top flight matches used to be played on a Saturday at 3pm GMT. There were no early kick-offs. No late kick-offs and, heaven forbid, no Sunday matches. Now, of course, everything has been turned upside down. Because only a few of the matches are played at the […]

Whenever I talk to my non-fútbol friends, I can never seem to tell them that stats in the game I love lie. The one that lies the most is possession. Many people see a […]

It's a shame that the NCAA College Cup is not more publicized and marketed to the sporting public. College soccer is exciting, and it should get more attention. The NCAA is missing an opportunity with NCAA soccer. The 'Final Four' in NCAA basketball and the 'Frozen Four' in hockey have achieved much more fanfare. The basketball championships are […]

Houston Dynamo GM Oliver Luck doesn't like to lose. That's a good thing because in his tenure the Dynamo haven't done much losing.
