Christian Gross becomes the first Bundesliga manager to face the sack this season after a woeful start to the domestic campaign which has seen Stuttgart collect just three points from seven matches. Recently, I did an article examining some of the reasons why Stuttgart have been on such a poor run. I came to the […]

Another England game and for many it leaves another feeling of slight depression. Our response to the outcomes of football matches largely depends on what our expectations are. Hence, Scotland concede three at home and lose but come away feeling good about themselves because, in scoring twice and coming back from two nil down, they […]

The last few weeks have been nothing short of chaos on Merseyside. But today fans of Liverpool finally got the good news that the proposed takeover of the club by New England Sports Ventures has been given the green light. There won’t even be an appeal by Tom Hicks and George Gillett and it does seem that […]

The same side who rolled Turkey over in their last fixture did the business tonight against Kazakhstan. Joachim Loew's Germany side take a significant edge in their quest to finish top of their qualification group after another strong three points tonight, and secure an early place in the European Championship of 2012. While Kazakhstan provided […]

In a handful of days we'll know whether or not Liverpool FC will have new owners. Whether or not the club will go into administration and be deducted nine points. Whether or not the club will shed the debt Mssrs Hicks and Gillett have accrued during their disastrous tenure as owners. This week feels like the […]

Tonight will mark my first real live experience with English football, and what better way to jump in head first than with the National team at Wembley in a meaningful match. Better yet, why not rub shoulders with some of the top English journalists currently writing for the best papers in England? Sounds like a […]

There were three big matches this weekend in our soccer world, only two of which were in league. While New York's match with Real Salt Lake and Dallas's battle with Colorado entertained us on Saturday, the return of the U.S. Men's National Team got top billing, with the squad earning a 2-2 draw with Poland […]

The man, the myth, the legend.

Young Schalke defender Joel Matip has been hospitalized with Malaria following time out on international duty with Cameroon. As if things couldn't get any worse for Schalke. While Matip's condition has still not been made public, we all wish a speedy return to the game for the young player who will be looking to help […]

Schalke's Lewis Holtby, who is currently spending a year out on loan at Mainz (who are currently top of the Bundesliga table thanks in no small part to Holtby himself), has spoken of further accomplishment and glory, and has set himself on becoming the next Bastian Schweinsteiger. Holtby, who currently captains the Germany U-21 side, […]

There’s always much debate in the English media about who is to be England captain. It seems as though Capello is sticking with Ferdinand, after Gerrard’s successful stint with the arm band. Is Rio a good captain? Who knows? How would he prove he was or wasn’t? The role of Captain is an odd one. […]

Sunderland forward Darren Bent has a right to feel hard-done-by in terms of his international career. Since making his debut under Sven-Goran Eriksson against Uruguay in March 2006, Bent has won just six more caps. Considering he has scored 65 goals in 147 Premier League appearances since then, you might think he would walk into […]

International breaks give me a chance to be a bit more reflective than usual regarding what's going on in the world of soccer. And other than the Liverpool ownership saga, there isn't a lot going on. I have to admit that while I have a life outside of EPL Talk and the sport of soccer, […]

Manuel Neuer has recently stoked the fire of every major transfer agent in Europe when he hinted at a summer exit from Schalke in the summer. Neuer, as Germany number one goalkeeper, believes that he should be playing European football every season. If Schalke cannot meet those ambitions, then the young goalkeeper may look to […]
