Friday's Bundesliga fixture saw current league leaders Hoffenheim dismiss last year's Bundesliga runners-up Schalke by a scoreline of two goals to nil. Magath's Schalke side remain pointless and rooted to the bottom of the table, while Hoffenheim hold top spot ahead of a perfect nine-point start. This Saturday, the Bundesliga will pit some of it's […]

Hoffenheim hosted Schalke this afternoon and dispatched the visitors and claimed a rather comfortable three points. A 2-0 result means Schalke are still pointless at the bottom of the table, and the pressure will certainly continue to pile on Schalke coach Felix Magath, who spent an impressive amount of money on new recruits this summer. […]

Bobby Zamora has today put pen to paper on a new four-year-deal at Fulham. The forwards commitment to stay at Craven Cottage demonstrates a massive coup for Fulham and Mark Hughes who had admitted he had to fight to hang on to his star striker. Zamora’s career resembles a roller-coaster of highs and lows. After […]

Two scoreless draws mid-week have us looking forward to this weekend's matches, highlighted by the Los Angeles Galaxy hosting the Columbus Crew in Saturday's last match. To talk about that match as well as the rest of MLS's weekend games, I am joined by my co-host Christopher Riordan for this edition of the Major League […]

Match Of The Day presenter Gary Lineker has come a long way since his TV appearances in the early 1990s when he hosted a show entitled "Soccer In The 70's." The former England and Everton striker was, at the time, uncomfortable in front of the camera. And very stiff. Thankfully he's improved over time, but […]

Welcome back to the Premier League, returning from the international break. Forming the welcoming party, myself and Laurence McKenna look at the weekend's action including an eight match Saturday commencing with our match of the week, a struggling Everton hosting Manchester United.

The Bundesliga returns after a rather slow period of European Championship qualifying matches and various international friendlies. The third round of Bundesliga matches kicks off with a mouth-watering tie featuring an in-form Hoffenheim against a pointless Schalke side. While at first glance many will put their money down on a Hoffenheim win against what is […]

But for those soccer fans who have cable, especially Comcast, it's been a frustrating year with no hope of the two channels being added to Comcast anytime soon. Even cable competitor Time Warner […]

Bayern Munich sporting director Christian Nerlinger, who is in charge of the comings and goings regarding the transfer market with the Bavarian giants, has launched a scathing review of two of Germany's most promising young players.

A few years ago I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Gerard Houllier when he was visiting the United States for a coaching clinic at the annual National Soccer Coaches of America Association (NSCAA) event in Baltimore. He was the perfect gentleman, who had plenty of time for the press, but he also seemed […]

Once again, all 10 matches are available on television in the US, once again 6 live and 4 delayed. Note the date change on Everton-United; the channels remain the same. I do enjoy getting those early morning matches on Saturdays. **** Must-see. Cancel all other activities. Do not even DVR as even in America you […]

Fabio Capello has confirmed that he'll step down as England manager after the end of Euro 2012. Usually when a manager announces to his squad that he'll no longer be a manager after a specific date, it's an accident waiting to happen. Take for example Raymond Domenech and his French team in the 2010 World […]
