West Ham United are rolling the dice that they'll be in the Premier League next season by mortgaging the £60 million they expect to receive from TV revenue for the 2013-14 season to manage the club's debts. With Aston Villa beating Queens Park Rangers today, it looks very likely that Reading and QPR will go […]

If the Philadelphia Union want to return to being in the 2013 Eastern Conference playoff picture, it figures that the partnership of Jack McInerney and Sebastien Le Toux needs to blossom. On Saturday evening in the Delaware Valley, that tandem netted the lone goal of the match, as McInerney converted on a Le Toux corner […]

A nearly full Sporting Park saw the one-time Wizards dominate play against Chicago Fire in Sporting’s home opener, but ultimately come away with nothing but a single point in the standings.

When Rio Ferdinand wasn’t called up to Euro 2012 at the expense of John Terry, who at the time was on trial for the racist abuse of Rio’s brother Anton, it seemed his England career was over. Ten months on, he has been recalled to the squad after an extremely consistent season with Manchester United. […]

There may not be a British side in the Champion's League, but who cares? It's not like the teams that got through could go toe-to-toe with the Prem teams week in and week out. Ahem.
