DC United’s goalkeeping situation was dire when Louis Crayton the Liberian National Team keeper was signed a month ago. The Red and Black had recorded one clean sheet the entire season and had uncharacteristically lost all three games of the Superliga tournament at home. Zach Wells whom Crayton supplanted as the top keeper with United […]

Tuncay's winner five minutes from time is all the difference as Middlesbrough win at the Riverside 2-1. First off it must be said that Middlesbrough were pushed to the limit. Despite being a man down for seventy minutes (if you add both first and second half stoppage time), Stoke City were resolute at the back, […]

The former Zaragoza scorer was in the eye of Real Madrid, but turned down their final offer as the transfer window was coming to a close in Europe on Monday. The Argentine international accepted returning to Italy and signed a three-year contract worth approximately €2.4 million. Milito started his European career with the Genovese side […]

If done right, it’s not that difficult to find a way to win in Major League Soccer. All too often MLS Clubs have been infatuated with signing foreign players who are past their prime or have been out of form in their most recent club stops. Some of these concerns were articulated about Darren Huckerby […]

I enjoyed the West Ham / Blackburn game today, as a neutral. There were goals, some red blooded tackling and a couple of contentious decisions to debate. The first was the own goal 'credited' to Samba that put Blackburn 2-0 down. That Dean Ashton was in an offside position is not up for debate. The […]

The intent of Jorge Luis Pinto´s 22-man roster leaves no doubt as to his intent. A six-point sweep would put them in second place in the standings since Argentina will face Paraguay next weekend. The six points would leave them only nine points away from the magic number of 25 that is going to be […]

Does this need any explanation other than my utter disappointment in the fact that just a few short weeks ago I extolled the virtues of English Footballers for playing a more honest game than their counterparts from other parts of the planet? I've seen cheeky, over the line plays like this before, but not since […]

The UEFA Cup first-round draw was held on Friday and there are a number of interesting new faces in the competition. One of those teams is Dutch side FC Twente, who as we've detailed in previous posts, is now coached by former England boss Steve McClaren. Twente, who were entered into the UEFA Cup after […]

Bob Bradley’s tenure as United States National Team manager has gone about as well as can be expected: A CONCACAF Gold triumph, several victories in the “old world” and thus far a smooth run in qualifying including an elusive win over Guatemala.
