The Manchester City and Ireland defender Richard Dunne and Barcelona's Mexican wonder kid Giovanni Dos Santos are set to become Juande Ramos' latest signings this weekend. City seem resigned to losing Dunne after he turned down their offer of a new contract this week and Spurs look set to complete a £5 million transfer for […]

Steven Gerrard put in a Man of the Match performance last night at Wembley, thrusting himself even more into the permanent captaincy discussion. The first of the two videos below shows his well-worked goal that made it 2-0, set up by his good friend and perhaps soon-to-be Liverpool teammate Gareth Barry. It is quality of the highest degree, […]

ESPN reports that Internazionale have fired manager Roberto Mancini after much speculation that they were going to do so. Comments Mancini made after losing to Liverpool in the last 16 of the Champions League in March were cited as a major contributor to his eventual dismissal. This past Saturday's Italian Cup final loss to AS […]

Three days after being told his job was secure and he had a contract until 2010, Henk Ten Cate has had his contract terminated with immediate effect. Chelsea's website broke the story this afternoon and the removal of Ten Cate would seem to shut the door on any possibility of Frank Rijkaard taking over as […]

The British press have reported today that Portugal's vice-president, Amandio De Carvalho , has confirmed that he is aware that Roman Abramovich is interested in Felipe Scolari. Scolari's contract is up on June 30th and whilst rumours have surrounded his future, this was the first confirmation of any real interest. Carvalho stated "I already know […]

Fabio Capello has confirmed the 22 man squad that will play Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday night in the Port of Spain for England's last game of the season. It is no surprise at all that Capello has only included Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Bridge from the players who played in last Wednesdays Champions League […]

With a few hours sleep in the books for me to digest the performance last night, let me elaborate on some of my initial thoughts about the match. Josh Wolff’s time as a National Team member should be over. Thank you for the spectacular goal against Mexico in 2001 and the setup for Brian […]

ESPN confirmed its lineup of announcers and analysts today for their coverage of Euro 2008 in a press release. There has been much speculation on who would be used between ESPN's international talent and the network's own US lineup. The answer the release gives us is a little bit of both... and some outside help […]

A flat uninspiring effort left the US supporters here in London frustrated and in some ways shocked not only at the lack of quality the US demonstrated but also at the indifference many on the team seemed to play with. I have previously made the case strongly that I believe without Landon Donovan the top […]

After watching England thoroughly dominate the US in their 2-0 friendly victory at Wembley this afternoon, I'm back for the second half of this Group C preview. Italy: As the current world champion, Italy enters this tournament right at the top of the list of favorites. They are also the team everyone wants to beat; […]

England 2-0 USA Wembley Way mourned the loss of its soul last night as the fans filling its three-quarter full stadia could only muster up a mediocre atmosphere to compliment England’s dull 2-0 triumph over a woeful USA side. Only a timely flicked header from skipper John Terry and beautiful move finished off by man-of-the-match […]

A surprising announcement this evening has seen talismanic striker Brian McBride announce that he is to leave Fulham to return to the USA. McBride had apparently been planning this for a while but it has come as something of a shock due to his impact in the final few games that saw Fulham, relegated at […]
