The one thing that the preseason friendlies have revealed to me thus far is the enormous drop off in talent between the commentary teams that we were spoilt with during the World Cup to the B-level of talent we witnessed during the Man United vs Celtic (Glenn Davis and Kyle Martino) and San Jose Earthquakes […]

It gives me great pleasure to announce the launch of a brand-new eBook today entitled What The World Cup Means To Me. The free eBook, published by EPL Talk sister site World Cup Buzz, features stories from some of the top 21 soccer writers and personalities around the world including Soccernomics author Simon Kuper, GolTV's […]

Previously on EPL Talk, we identified some of the top footballers on MySpace and Facebook. Now it's the turn of Plaxo, the online address book used by more than 40 million people worldwide. Steve Sampson. It's pretty sad when someone spends practically his entire career in sport and what he's remembered most for is his […]

In many ways, Phil Schoen is the voice of GolTV. The experienced soccer commentator is one of the most knowledgeable men in the United States on the topic of world soccer. Kartik Krishnaiyer recently had a chance to sit down with Schoen to ask his opinion on several topics, including: what does MLS need to […]

What would you do if you were in charge of Fox Soccer Channel's TV coverage? The dilemma is that you're trying to establish your own brand and to build an audience with your own personnel, but soccer fans — as you'll probably agree — are difficult people to please. We always want perfection. A perfect […]

American Soccer, GolTV's weekly news and highlights show, aired its last show tonight, at least in its current incarnation. The show, which is arguably the best US-produced soccer show on television, is seeking a sponsor. Up until recently, US Navy sponsored the show, but now that their sponsorship has ended, it's hard to justify the […]

It's pretty sad when two soccer columnists who represent what is supposedly one of the nation's top newspapers are so incompetent and out-of-touch with reality.
