Prior to Tuesday night’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final in Manchester, Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told German media that midfielder Toni Kroos will not be leaving the club this summer. When asked about the 24-year-old’s future, Rummenigge replied: “Toni Kroos is sure to wear Bayern Munich’s shirt next year.” Pep Guardiola echoed his chairman’s words […]

Earlier in the season, it seemed that the British media hung on every word Jose Mourinho uttered. But that is no longer the case as the self-proclaimed “Happy One” has become more and more erratic in his post-match comments and less incisive or creative in his mind games.

Is the NBC Sports Live Extra app a viable app for EPL fans? I have used the app since the beginning of the season. Some positives are that the app is completely free. All that is required, after the download, is to sign in with your cable provider and off you go. When I started […]

Sunderland keep on running out of chances to try to mount a campaign to avoid relegation. West Ham United, on the other hand, need a win to guarantee safety, so you would think that this one will end up a close win for Sunderland, but with the inconsistent performances of the Black Cats this season, […]

Even the most optimistic of Manchester United supporters would admit that UEFA Champions League qualification through the Premier League is out of reach this season. So naturally, Manchester United should target UEFA’s secondary European competition, the Europa League. I have to confess, I’m not a fan of this tournament. And the more I bring this […]

The U.S. Men’s National Team is getting more of an European flavor after it was announced earlier today that head coach Jüngen Klinsmann has appointed Berti Vogts to be a Special Advisor to the USMNT from now through the World Cup this summer. Any fan of the Germany National Team knows Vogts and his pedigree. […]

Everton seems to be a team that does not want to give up its goal of qualifying for Europe. With a 3-0 win over Newcastle United at St. James Park on Tuesday and a 3-1 away win against Fulham on Sunday, Everton has leaped over Tottenham into 5th place. And now Everton will be relishing […]

January 25th, 2013. A date that perhaps doesn’t mean much to most Newcastle United fans. It most definitely does though. It was the date when Moussa Sissoko signed for Newcastle United for just over £2 million from French side Toulouse. This was to be United’s last permanent signing to this day. Players have departed — […]

The French national team spectacularly imploded during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, with Raymond Domenech's side crashing out of the tournament, bottom of Group A with a solitary point, as humiliation engulfed one of the most well respected footballing nations on the planet.

New York Red Bulls Head Coach Mike Petke summed up the opposition on Friday when he said Chivas USA is a “young hard working team, organized, run hard and fast. Anticipate them coming in organized.” The rain that had been falling on the way over from the parking lot had stopped, so before the game […]

This weekend's Premier League fixtures had the least amount of controversial refereeing decisions for a very long time. A good weekend for the officials in that respect, but there were still a few incidents where further punishment could have been taken. Firstly, Juan Mata was fouled in the box during Man Utd's 4-1 victory against […]

The FA and Nike today unveiled England's home and away kits for World Cup 2014. According to The FA, the new home shirt is a pure and brilliant white with an engineered pinstripe in the fabric.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Roberto Soldado has responded to the rumors circling around the club after today's 4-0 defeat against Liverpool. Twitter went into a tailspin today with a handful of unofficial fan accounts claiming that Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood was involved in a post-match altercation with one of his players in the Anfield changing room. […]

Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood was about as downbeat during his post-match interview as he seemed to be sitting in the stands at Anfield today. No passion. No conviction. No ideas. Clueless. In the post-match interview, Sherwood's lack of emotion makes him sound like a man who has already given up. And judging by his […]
