With more Americans being introduced to the EPL via the very accessible ESPN2, newly adopted football supporters will be clamoring for more of the quality Premier League football on display. With ESPN2, Fox Soccer Channel and […]

Bellamy & Garrido – More amazing video clips are a click away After one of the most exciting Manchester derbies ended yesterday, tempers flared again after an alleged Manchester United supporter ran on to the pitch and was then tackled by stewards. However, while the stewards held the offender, Manchester City's Craig Bellamy walked over […]

If you told a hardened rugby or cricket aficionado that Real Madrid and Manchester City had spent around £340m between them this Summer, they would tell you the old cliché that football is just about money and big egos as opposed to other sports. Do they have a point? You might argue that Manchester City’s […]

In the past few weeks much criticism has been levied at those, including myself who made an effort to critique the 5-0 loss in the Gold Cup Final by the United States to Mexico. After all what difference does a 5-0 loss make to your biggest rivals when you are playing a “C” team and […]

Okay, so we are pretty settled into the 2009-2010 season and I am, yet again, having major issues with my fantasy team. What’s going on? How can I have 14 points in one weekend? How can Michael Turner do so well for Hull and not for Sunderland? How, in the name of all that is […]

The match against West Ham United was a perfect example where they were fortunate to win after West Ham United played them off the park for large portions of the match. To me, Liverpool were blessed by individual performances at […]

Kartik was right. There was a buzz about this game – two solid, mature teams with something to prove. In the end, the Galaxy went out deserved winners. Some thoughts… Welcome back Sean Franklin. When 2008 Rookie of the Year Franklin tore his hamstring in mid May, Galaxy fans saw disaster. Franklin was the only […]

Very few, if any football matches on the planet this weekend will feature the individual quality that tonight’s LA Galaxy-TFC match will provide. Julian DeGuzman will make his MLS debut against David Beckham, Landon Donovan and the Galaxy. You’ll also have the presence of Dwayne DeRossario arguably the most successful player in the history of […]

It wasn’t the strongest or most organised of European opposition but that wasn’t the fault of Everton. The rather convoluted route to a Europa League final derided with an experimental overpopulation of match officials has sometimes brought the validity of the event into question. I’m not sure if the shambolic way that AEK Athens defended […]

The latest video flashback takes us back to 1988 when England was a terrible football team despite finding glory just two years later in the 1990 World Cup.
