In the upcoming weeks and months, EPL Talk will be bringing you multiple interviews with Slovenian Journalists to discuss the National Team that has been drawn with England for the World Cup, as well as some background on the nation itself. Please leave any questions you may have about Slovenia, the national team and the country in […]

Fox Soccer Channel this week launched a redesign of their FoxSoccer.com website. The website, which was a massive success during the 2006 World Cup and continues to be a valuable resource for soccer fans, has been redesigned to look less busy and as a result looks drastically different. Here are my initial thoughts on the […]

I'd like to open up a bit of good old fashioned debate here on EPL Talk concerning the recent exploits of one Mick McCarthy. Tuesday night at Old Trafford saw Manchester United draw level on points with league leaders Chelsea with a 3-0 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers. You might be thinking, "that doesn't sound out […]

Over the next few days until the end of 2009, I'll be compliling a few articles looking at my favourite moments from the Premiership's second decade. I'll be looking at some of the great players, some of the great managers, matches, goals even kits. I'll be giving you my honest opinion on what and who […]

Listening to last week's episode of the Football Weekly Podcast on The Guardian, I had to laugh when studio guest (and occasional EPL Talk blogger) Richard Whittall brought up the topic of stereotypes about British women. Astounding as it may seem, The Guardian's Barney Ronay had no idea what Whittall was talking about and seemed […]

DaMarcus Beasley is once again playing a high level for his club team and must be strongly considered for a return to the US setup. Beasley’s comeback started with a good performance versus Sevilla in the Champions League last week, and has continued through a few good league performances this week. In Rangers’ 3-1 win […]

Since the US was drawn into England’s group in the World Cup, I have seen and heard lots of discussion of why the USMNT can either draw or beat England. Yet, to this point I have not seen one single shred of analysis to defend this point. ESPN commentators and bloggers alike have made reference […]

Being born in the United Kingdom and having lived in the United States for more than 25 years, I've dealt with many years of jokes and abuse from Americans who tell me point blank what they think of Brits. After years of experience, I've heard so many stereotypes that Americans have about Brits that I […]

ESPN's John Harkes addressed the media in Bristol, CT after the World Cup draw. Hear Harkes draw about the US and England teams. Don’t forget that the EPL Talk Podcast is the only Premier League interview and analysis podcast available for free. In the past few weeks, we’ve interviewed legends of the game such as […]

'Tis the season for soccer networks to be spreading good wishes to bloggers and business contacts at this special time of the year. Last week we showed you what the Fox Soccer Channel holiday card looked like. Now it's the turn of Setanta Sports (see above). If and when we get a holiday card from […]

The Azzurri will be in Group F along with Paraguay, Slovakia and New Zealand. The Italians are notorious for their slow starts in previous World Cup editions but this group should not pose much of a threat. The key is to properly deal with all three teams, in particular Paraguay and Slovakia as those two […]

This could lead to a heated debate as the implications transcend beyond choosing the best club to include the competitive nature of some of Europe's top leagues (namely the English Premier League, the Spanish la Liga and Italian Serie A). English and Italian fans may disagree but Barcelona's players have clearly staked a claim to […]

MLS Talk Correspondent Chris Riordan catches up with Jaime Moreno and Stuart Holden during a World Cup Draw Event in Washington DC. Hear about Holden's thoughts about playing in Europe, Moreno's experiences in MLS and much much more.

If you're like me, you probably find that it's getting harder and harder to watch Premier League games without being interrupted. And the interruptions are sometimes my own fault whether it's my laptop and my inclination to open as many tabs as possible on my Chrome browser. Or my addiction to Twitter, or the ability […]

ESPN in the United States has hired Wigan Manager Roberto Martinez to provide commentary from South Africa during the 2010 World Cup. The animated Martinez who had an excellent playing career in England and Scotland along with his native Spain is major capture for the American broadcaster. World Cup broadcasters in Spain and Great Britain […]
