This weekend was possibly the most exciting one ever for Premier League football with numbers of records being broken in what was a mixed few days for the men in the middle. Firstly, this weekend’s matches saw a record number of goals scored, 41 in total including eight in Manchester United’s demolition of Blackburn Rovers […]

After a good weekend for the Premier League assistant referees last weekend, the refs will be looking to impress this week. Want to know whose taking charge of your game? Then now you can as I give you information on the men in black and how they will do in your team’s matches. Saturday Arsenal […]

You'd think this would be a relegation six-pointer for both of these sides, but Kaiserslautern have looked a notch above a side destined for the 2. Bundesliga this season. Their hosts, however, could be in some trouble without three points here. Srdjan Lakic has been in exceptional goal-scoring form all season, and his finishing ability […]

For someone like me who has ties to both England and the United States, the decision by FIFA to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cup tournaments to Russia and Qatar respectively hurts. I watched the announcement Thursday morning on BBC World News from my cabin aboard the Norwegian Dawn cruise ship while sailing north […]

Live coverage of the decision will begin around 9:30 AM Eastern, 6:30 AM Pacific, and 2:30 PM GMT […]

I've been playing Fantasy Premier League (FPL) for several years, but in that time the FPL website has changed very little. The graphics have been improved in the game itself, but the site is as jumbled it was the first time I played it. And I often find myself feverishly logging on to it either […]

We go into the 16th match day with a new outlook in the title race. Only a couple of weeks ago we were narrowing our eyes toward the two team race. Now our whites are exposed to five at the top in what is playing out as an unprecedentedly open title race. On this edition […]

While these two sides are at polar opposites of the Bundesliga table, they've both managed to qualify top of their groups for the next round of the Europa League. Stuttgart had a tough match away to Young Boys of Switzerland, while Leverkusen travelled to Rosenborg in Norway. BSC Young Boys 4 – 2 VfB Stutgart […]

While soccer fans throughout the United States are enjoying their Premier League soccer matches in glorious HD, Comcast subscribers such as myself and countless others have to watch the same games in SD. The picture quality in SD, especially on Fox Soccer Channel, is woeful at times. The sooner Comcast gets its act together, the […]

Despite the unpredictable British weather there is much to look forward to for the avid football fan. Today marks the beginning of advent, the countdown to Christmas; this day also signifies that the beginning of the most important period in the English football season is about to begin.

Michael Ballack's return to the Bundesliga has so far been nothing to write home about. The midfield general has been plagued by injury, and he's rarely had a chance to showcase the phenomenal talent we all remember him for. Finally, though, Ballack has returned to first-team training and it could be at the perfect time […]

I was listening to the EPLTalk Podcast Weekend Review this morning on the way to work (and it probably isn't said enough, thank you to Richard, Laurence, Kartik, and the Gaffer for this valuable resource!). Richard and Kartik discussed an impact game this weekend in the nPower Championship between Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City, […]

I'm not the best with numbers, but it's not hard to see when a club is in financial turmoil. Portsmouth and Leeds are two prime examples, while Manchester City, Barcelona and Real Madrid have shown the world what it means to have debt. Well, it's a totally different story for Bayern Munich and that's something […]

Somewhere in the corridors of Fox Soccer Channel's headquarters in Los Angeles, California, an executive or two must have wondered whether Fox should consider adopting ESPN's approach to Saturday morning Premier League soccer.
