At EPL Talk, we hardly ever steer off course to focus on different leagues or nations outside of the Premier League and England. But in this case, we can be excused because we're really excited about the leaked photos of the new soccer shirts from Brazil, Netherlands and Portugal. In all three cases, Nike have […]

Despite the fact that the MLS Cup was played just last month, the offseason might as well already be considered over. With the SuperDraft taking place today, teams headed to the field for scrimmages and friendlies as early as January 29, it would be safe to say we are back in session. Below is a […]

In my opinion, here are my picks of the current Premier League footballers who deserve to be in my What A Waste Of Money XI: Goalkeeper David De […]

French striker Loic Remy has officially joined Queens Park Rangers in a club record deal believed to be £8 million.

Being born in the United States in the late 80's and growing up through the 90's, I was exposed to the great "resurgence" of "soccer" in America. With the World Cup here in 1994 and the US women's team winning their titles in '91 and '99, soccer began to get massive exposure here in the […]

Gameweek 22 is almost over. There's just one match to conclude the gameweek (today's Chelsea vs Southampton match), but here are my observations from my adventures in the Fantasy Premier League.
