In South Africa this summer, Klose had the chance of becoming the World Cup's all-time top goalscorer, but felt short of the […]

According to reports scoured across the Internet, Spurs boy wonder Gareth Bale is the subject of a potential Real Madrid transfer bid this January.

For a change of pace, I wanted to share some videos from Stjarnan, the Icelandic team that has become an Internet celebration thanks to their very unique and creative goal celebrations. Stjarnan FC plays in the Men's Premier League division in Icelandic football in front of a stadium that has a capacity of 1,000. Their […]

One of the most extraordinary goals that Liam Brady scored for Arsenal was on December 23, 1978. And of all teams, it was against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane in the north London derby. The 1978-79 season saw the return of Tottenham to the top flight, but Spurs were buoyed by the addition of […]

This was going to be a double whammy for the Red Bulls in their match against Real Salt Lake. If it wasn't trying to get a victory at Rio Tinto Stadium, it would be doing the feat without four of their top players who were called into international duty with their respective national teams. Starting […]

I think I am one of the few people in the blog/media realm that seems to enjoy the Europa League (formerly UEFA Cup). I've always looked at it as a great way to get more cultured in European football and see some of the up and coming stars before the big clubs swoop in for […]

Wayne Rooney has been caught, according to British newspapers, of having an affair with a prostitute while his wife Coleen was pregnant. Rooney supposedly slept with the 21-year-old call girl seven times in four months. If the story is true, then it's reprehensible of Rooney to do such a thing. And conceivably, Rooney may have […]

Joachim Loew's men opened their European Championship qualification campaign with three points against a very impressive Belgium side who will feel they deserved more from the match.

Our first taste of Bundesliga football this season has been interrupted by an international break where top players from every Bundesliga side travel far and wide to meet up with their national team-mates and battle it out for European Championship qualification. It's always interesting to see which Bundesliga players find their form during their national […]

Watch match highlights of England's 4-0 victory against Bulgaria featuring a hat-trick for Jermain Defoe and the first international goal for Adam Johnson. It was a convincing win for England, but let's hope England doesn't get too overconfident from this one victory when they face a tough Switzerland team on Tuesday. That game, for US […]

American soccer will lose one if its most venerated heroes at the end of the MLS season when 38-year-old Brian McBride finally call it quits after a 16-year career. McBride is most known in the United States as a star for the national team. A decade of solid performances punctuated by moments of absolute brilliance. […]

Sami Khedira has spoken about Joachim Loew's decision to name him and Schweinsteiger as Germany's first-choice defensive midfield pairing, and has challenged Michael Ballack for the right to fill the midfield role for the national side.
