Jermain Defoe hit five goals yesterday in Spurs' demolition – the word doesn't seem strong enough, at times – of Wigan Athletic, but has he done enough to merit a place in Fabio Capello's World Cup squad next summer? Many pundits and people in the game, including 'Arry (who would of course be a neutral observer […]

Like a lower league side strutting their stuff in the latter rounds of the FA Cup, Steve Bruce is transforming his Sunderland side into one of the biggest upset merchants in the Premiership. The Black Cats’ latest scalp was a 1-0 victory at home to Arsenal. Bruce’s side have now taken 7 points from a […]

Analyzing soccer tactics has never been a strongpoint of US television, but if you haven't being paying attention recently, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find out that both Fox Soccer Channel and ESPN have made giant improvements to their coverage. At Fox Soccer Channel, Warren Barton has come into his own during halftime of Champions […]

Before the season, I picked Real Salt Lake to win the Western Conference and play in MLS Cup. Along with DuNord’s Bruce McGuire and a few other bloggers who made this prediction, I looked worse and worse as the MLS Regular Season wore on. My projection of RSL to win the West was based on […]

While playing with my kids on Sunday morning, I checked Twitter for a minute and was astonished to see that Jermain Defoe had just scored a hat trick for Tottenham Hotspur. My first impulse was to grab the remote and to switch on Fox Soccer Channel, but I was greeted with the live match between […]

Real Salt Lake may have had a middling season. They may have sneaked into the playoffs on the last day of the campaign. They may have a team of names that would never go on the MLS marquee. None of that matters very much right now. Real Salt Lake are deserved winners of the MLS […]

It's been a nice return to club football this weekend after all 32 countries are now locked in & booked for South Africa next Summer.

Who Wins MLS Cup?(survey software)

Kartik Krishnaiyer and Daniel Feuerstein break down a bad week for the USMNT and talk about the USL/TOA mess. On Monday, we will have an MLS Cup special wrap up show.

Major League Soccer Talk's Robert Jonas, and Kartik Krishnaiyer were among the voters in Set Piece Analysts World Cup Power Poll. The United States finished 24th in the survey of prominent soccer bloggers and tweeters in the United States. Mexico was 9th and Honduras, 28th.

This morning, my personal site, the Kartik Report along with partner site Inside Minnesota Soccer was among those breaking the story that Crystal Palace Baltimore and Paul Dalglish's Tampa Bay Rowdies were joining the new TOA "breakaway" league . Later it was reported at USL News, and discussed at Match Fit USA among other places, […]

The appetite for commentary on the farce in Paris still seems strong, and I thought Arsene Wenger had a very wise take on the entire situation today. Wenger is, obviously, a French supporter and very close with Henry. In fairness to the Irish fans, the world football community, and for the sake of Henry, he […]

I thought I should jump in on this issue while the water is still warm and explain an Irish view of Wednesday's larceny. In Ireland we do not do football dramas in small measures, Roy Keane's walkout at the 2002 World Cup practically sparked a civil war and now the 'Hand of Henry' has turned […]
