There are only 93 days to go before the 2010 World Cup kicks off. As we get closer to the tournament, the pressure will increase for many England players as they worry whether they'll make the final squad or not. Based on their experience and what the players can offer on the pitch, here is […]

You may have heard the phrase before, "Behind every great man there's a great woman." Or as Jim Carrey said, "Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes." While we're rolling out of bed at indecent hours or sacrificing a part of our life in the name of football, there is often a […]

Last night I hunted down a clip on my 501 goals DVD. It's Liverpool's Craig Johnston talking sometime in the 80s about Liverpool's approach: "It's the simplicity of the game that Liverpool play that's so amazing... You get the ball at your feet... And you see players like Phil Neal and Sammy Lee—and see them five […]

In a recent post entitled Paul Scholes He Scores,.....Blunders, I asked readers of EPL Talk to leave comments remembering the most odd or freakishly scored goals they'd ever witnessed. The feedback was moderate at best, until my Father of all people recently stumbled upon what has to be the gem of all gems. The Helicopter […]

Well it's time to discuss some topics on what's been going on for the past week. As we all know about Announcer Gate, John Paul Dellacamera (His full name) has been the voice of American Soccer for as long as I can remember. He has been on T.V. for ESPN during past UEFA Champions League […]

While everyone is watching this afternoon's USA friendly against the Dutch at Amsterdam ArenA, Major League Soccer has already prepared the matches for the qualifying of two spots in the third round of the 2010 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. The event was hosted by MLS Executive Vice President of Competition Nelson Rodriguez & MLS […]

Alright, it’s been a couple of days since Fox Soccer Plus/FS+/FSP launched on only a few cable/satellite providers. Here are my observations and opinions after actually viewing some of the programming on the channel and reading/hearing an overload of viewer opinion. As always, I’d love to hear yours! FSP vs. Setanta: I have been a […]

Silverware was awarded, Stamford Bridge was invaded, and Arsenal was traumatically brought face-to-face with history on a memorable weekend of English football. On this edition of the EPL Talk Podcast, Laurence McKenna, Kartik Krishnaiyer and host Richard Farley look back on the weekend's action, from League Cup, to the top of the table, to the […]

If you thought that all the posturing and the mudslinging in the electronic & print media would end up being a major negative on this day, there has been some form of common sense with the players union. All outlets have reported that the Players Union has decided not to strike and continue to negotiate […]

Well, Torres is back. That's about the biggest consolation I can take from the last two outings. We may have gotten the right result against Unirea, but if you didn't watch that match, trust me, the outcome doesn't reflect the awful, numbing football we sat through for most of ninety minutes. Where was the team […]

This may apply more to my American brethren than to my English brethren, but as I sit watching football alone for the thousandth time, I wonder if fellow footie friends like myself experience countless hours solely devoting themselves to their passion in an excited state of oneness. In this post I'll attempt to rank (from […]

I ask myself that question two or three times a year and rarely come up with a discernible answer. Is it the language, the culture, the food? Maybe it's the pop music? Whatever the answer is, I wish it wasn't so. I wish I could see English footballers deputizing or leading an attack for Real Madrid, Barcelona, […]
