Diego Costa insouciantly rounded Tim Howard and slotted Chelsea’s sixth goal of the game at Goodison Park; the moment it became abundantly and indisputably clear Everton had pertinent concerns. Some worries had emerged a week previous when the Toffees let a two-goal lead slip against Arsenal in the dying embers of an otherwise dominant performance. […]

José Mourinho’s Chelsea travel to Merseyside to face Roberto Martinez’s Everton in Saturday’s English Premier League marquee matchup. Everton finished the 2013-14 season in fifth place, just two places behind Chelsea. Sharing the points from these fixtures last season, the Toffees defeated Chelsea at home, yet lost to the Blues when they travelled to Stamford […]

Lee Dixon was paired with Arlo White on NBC’s coverage of Everton versus Arsenal on Saturday. So far, in their first year and two weeks of Premier League coverage, all of the commentators have done well. But on Saturday, Dixon was a disgrace. It has long been a favorite tactic of managers to blame the […]

After getting Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea, Everton are working with the Blues again as they try to sign winger Christian Atsu on a season-long loan. Allegedly, up to 12 teams are interested in signing Atsu but if the Toffees get him, here's what they can expect. Chelsea signed the Ghanaian international last summer from Porto […]

On the eve of the much-anticipated American Civil War between Everton and Fulham, American soccer fans are relishing the chance to see three of their best players take the pitch at the same time at the highest level of competition. Other American sports' fans do not understand the importance of this match: Kobe plays LeBron […]

Today we wrap up our "Three Questions" series with the defending MLS champions, the Los Angeles Galaxy. By any definition, they were the best team in MLS last season: they convincingly led the Supporters Shield's race most of the season, looked like the best team in the playoffs, and won the MLS Cup. They did […]

Who says the U.S. national team is weak at forward? During yesterday's Everton v. Bolton match, keeper Tim Howard broke the scoreless tie with a 100 yard strike that was aided by the wind. I am not sure which is more impressive, the goal itself or how cool Howard was celebrating. What do you think, […]

Chicago ended the year as potentially the best non-playoff team in MLS. They caught "fire" and had a winning record for the final third of the season, almost stealing the tenth playoff spot from New York. The same team that set the MLS record for draws in a season (which they tied with NY) gave […]

The U.S. v. Mexico rematch friendly is less than a week away, and today Jurgen Klinsmann unveiled his first list of call-ups as the head coach for the national team. The Mexico friendly comes at a tricky time for the U.S., as the bigger European leagues are kicking off this month and Klinsmann might have […]

Everton finished its U.S. preseason tour tonight with a definitive 3-1 win over DC United on a very hot night in front of almost 13,000 fans. Those in attendance (about half of whom were Everton faithfuls) got to see some of the EPL team's biggest names on the pitch, including Phil Neville, Leighton Baines, and […]

I will be the first to admit that my proximity to RFK Stadium may color my biases a little bit. But after seeing DC United's press release on their latest friendly, I have to be impressed with this club. Despite playing in less than stellar facilities and finishing last in MLS last season, the club […]

For weeks now, speculation has been out there about which English club would secure Landon Donovan for a winter loan. Would it be Fulham? Or Everton? Or some other club in need of a little pace and imagination on the wing or even up front? Turns out the U.S. International and L.A. Galaxy standout will […]

Weather permitting it’s Gameweek 18, this roller coaster Premier League season is about to enter its crucial Christmas period. Three points going into the festivities will be a priority for all managers this weekend. Sam Allardyce can put is feet up on Saturday and watch the club that unceremoniously sacked him take on his potential […]

Four of the top five battle it out with each other this week while Man City travel to bottom of the table West Ham. Arsenal could end gameweek 17 in fourth position, having started it Top of the table. Chances are it will be as you were. It has been such an unpredictable season that […]

The increasing pressure on Carlo Ancelotti has reached new heights after Chelsea dropped two more points against a stubborn Everton side. It was the fourth Premier League game without a win for the reigning champions, and just their fifth point from a possible 18 in recent weeks, but with Ancelotti’s side stuttering, could the Italian […]
