Congratulations to legendary "Championship Talk" listener Karl Krause of Daytona Beach, Florida (and yes Georgie, Houston too!) for making the monumental life decision on which Championship club to support (Sheffield Wednesday). Brian is hoping that Wolves (his suggestion for which club Karl should support) beat Wednesday like a red-headed stepchild on 29 Jan., in light […]

A little over two months ago in New York I had the opportunity to meet with Wilmer Cabrera, then working as a staffer for MLS. I had remembered Cabrera as a player with Columbia in the 1998 World Cup but did not realize he had also had his coaching license at the time. Cabrera had […]

The Mexican League is the most popular league in the United States. More popular than our domestic league, MLS (with which it is often compared), more popular than the Premier League and more popular than La Liga. This may be hard to believe for some but the TV ratings and even merchandise sales bare out […]

For once, people living in the UK this weekend will get a taste of our own medicine — in the nicest way possible. That's because the Ricky Hatton against Floyd Mayweather fight begins at 9pm ET (or later) making it a 2am UK event time. For years, football fans in America have had to suffer […]

I'm awaiting final confirmation, but it looks very likely that I'll be interviewing a different kind of guest this Sunday for the next episode of the EPL Talk Podcast. The guest will be the first rock star to appear on the podcast. It's Billy Duffy, lead guitarist from The Cult, the band that is best […]

Episode 38 of the Major League Soccer Talk Podcast has been released. It is an interview with Trevor Hayward from My Soccer Club USA a group based on very successful British based My Football Club effort. As we announce at the end of the show, I have accepted an opportunity to co-host a show about […]

Man United's current website is one of massive proportions both in scale and interactivity. Undoubtedly there are a team of people updating it daily and making it a destination for United fans around the world. But the website had more humble origins as can be seen in the following screenshots. The first is from 1999 […]

By the end of this week, Las Vegas will resemble a Manchester derby. Ricky Hatton, one of the most die-hard Man City supporters, will be dressed in the colors of his favorite football team, while thousands of Brits who have flown over from the UK will be in attendance for the fight at the MGM […]

Landon Donovan/AP Major League Soccer has made several efforts in the past few seasons to eliminate the appearance of favoritism towards certain clubs that was often alleged in the early seasons of the league. Many fans of clubs in the league had what in my mind were legitimate gripes against clubs such as the Metrostars […]

Newcastle United face Arsenal this afternoon in a vital match for both clubs. Expect the cameras to be zooming in on Sam Allardyce as they look for a hint of self doubt or anger on his face. While Big Sam's future at St. James' Park is in doubt, I feel he deserves a few more […]

The stories of legendary proportions continued to be written on Tuesday night as Group D was decided. In a stunning reversal of fortunes, former Group D leaders Shakhtar Donetsk were knocked out of all European competitions last night. Oscar Cardozo was the hero for Portugese giants Benfica as he scored two goals in the first […]

Keep an eye on EPL Talk in the next few weeks as we're going to be launching a redesign and making some huge changes. As the leading website in the United States for coverage of the world's most popular sports league, the Premier League, we're excited about we have in store for you. We'll continue […]

This summer when I visited the Yucatan Peninsula, I got a mild shock to my system. I was told Atlante, a traditional Mexican power who has fallen on hard times lately was coming to the region. I politely asked if we were talking about the same Atlante, the club that has so much success in […]

As AC Milan will be heading to Tokyo to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup against Boca Juniors and other regional champions, the final group games in Group D have been bumped up to today. Coming off last week's results, AC Milan have already qualified for the next round but will want to finish […]
