Here are my observations about the Western Conference Final Sunday night between LA Galaxy and FC Dallas: LA Galaxy were awful when it came to passing, particularly in the second half. As a result, Bruce Arena's side committed too many mistakes, lost the ball too many times and made it an uphill battle for themselves […]

Schalke nipped a point against Wolfsburg on Saturday through Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in pretty controversial circumstances. The striker seemed to handle the ball before slotting it into the back of the net, but the decision was not given and the goal was allowed. Since there is always so much debate surrounding these very tight decisions, here's […]

Has anybody seen Yuri Zhirkov or Ramires? Apparently Carlo Ancelotti is the only person who knows their whereabouts, the only reason why their names keep appearing on Chelsea's team sheet. With those ineffective midfielders featured Sunday at The Bridge, Chelsea was subject to one of the season's biggest surprises, with Sunderland posting an 0-3 result […]

After a solid and impressive performance in the freezing cold conditions in Colorado Saturday night, the Rapids won the Eastern Conference Final 1-0. The solitary goal came from Kosuke Kimura. Was it meant to be a cross or a shot on goal? Rapids fans won't care too much because no matter what way you look […]

Right now I'm playing with ESPN3.com's multi-screen view, where you can have as many as four games viewable in the same browser window at a time in what they call a mosaic. I'm watching replays of Barcelona against Villarreal, Scotland against New Zealand in rugby and Juventus versus Roma. It's a dream come true for […]
