Liverpool have sacked manager Roy Hodgson and have replaced him with Kenny Dalglish who has taken the caretaker manager role until the remainder of this season. "We are grateful for Roy's efforts over the past six months, but both parties thought it in the best interests of the club that he stand down from his […]

Former Sporting Kansas City and Nigeria World Cup defender Uche Okafor died Thursday at his Dallas-area home. Okafor, 43, was African football pundit for ESPN Soccernet Press Pass, the daily soccer analysis show. The humble and well-liked athlete played more than 119 times for Kansas City Wizards from 1996 to 2000, and made more than […]

We have different senses of humor. Some dry. Some sarcastic and so forth. But out of all of the Special 1 TV episodes in recent memory, this one to me is the funniest yet. You may not laugh as much as I did, or maybe even more, but be sure to watch the above video […]

So I wake up this morning, a day off for me. I fire up the laptop, check the news, and see that Manchester City's splash signing, Edin Dzeko, would have preferred signing with Juventus according to his agent. You have to put two and two together, since that article doesn't do it for you, but the […]

It's a glorious FA Cup weekend in England, so it's apt that for this week's Friday Flashback Video series that we go back in the time machine to 1985 when Liverpool and Manchester United battled in the FA Cup Semi-Final. The first video features the first semi-final between the two, which ended in a draw […]

Now's the time to talk about some of the bigger name U.S. players plying their trade overseas, names we didn't get to on the first two shows of the week.

The English Premier League takes a weekend off as English football shifts its focus to the FA Cup, the third round of which happens this weekend.

Now that the Gameweek 22 matches have ended in the Premier League, it makes you wonder. I don’t see anyone playing outstanding football or even close to it. Just when one of the top clubs seems to have the chance to kick some dirt in their rivals’ collective faces they come a cropper. True, there […]

Normally a European match is noticeable because of the clash of styles involved. Think Inter Milan's immovable object against Barcelona's irresistible force. Similarly, Tottenham have stunned Europe by using traditional English wingers and an old-fashioned target man. In the Europa League, Napoli played a three man backline against teams used to a more traditional back […]

Have you ever been to Blackburn? I have. It's like many old Lancashire mill towns, a little bit grim, a little bit run-down and definitely not like either Milan or the Brazilian resort of Florianopolis and it's certainly not a regular haunt for wealthy Brazilians. And yet the football club has been insisting this week […]

Roy Hodgson takes a walk to get his mind off Liverpool's poor run of form. He's followed by assistant manager Sammy Lee. Watch the video to see where their feet take them.

If you could name an all-star starting eleven comprised of footballers who are habitually injured and who are currently in the Premier League, who would you pick? With the assistance of EPL Talk's posse on Twitter, I've assembled my starting eleven. They feature Chris Kirkland who again got injured for Wigan on Wednesday night, Kieran […]

The third round of the FA Cup kicks off this Saturday. For many soccer fans, myself included, it's one of the best weekends in the year when you get to see several teams you normally don't see do battle against the giants of English football.
