Sometimes I'm proud to be British. But other times, I'm ashamed. After watching a documentary series on YouTube entitled "Hooligans Untold Story," an investigative look inside the world of England football hooligans by the renowned team from BBC's Panorama, I was very ashamed especially since the footage was only a few years ago, from 2006.

Steve McClaren made history today by being the first English manager to take charge of a Bundesliga side, but he could not secure what would have been an historic win over Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.

Well, not exactly, but if you wanted to get a good indication of what type of person he is and how much patience he has, watch the above video of yesterday's Liverpool press conference after Liverpool's 1-0 win over Trabzonspor. A Turkish journalist staggered in front of Hodgson while he […]

As news that Turkish club Besiktas are prepared to take Robinho off Manchester City’s books for a cool 16 million British pounds with ten million more on offer in performance-related payments, it raises an important question. Just how poor does your form, commitment and professional behaviour have to be before a football club will stop […]

After reading Jesse Chula's article about how many Premier League matches will you watch this weekend, it made me contemplate how different the TV and Internet viewing experience is to going to a game in England. More specifically, going to an away game. I've been to plenty of top-flight games in England and Wales, but […]

Michael Ballack's stint at Chelsea has come to an end, and he has a full trophy cabinet to show for it.

This summer, Michael Ballack's contract […]

Lazio is a team full of great players, from Muslera in goal to Zarate up front, they've got some great players, especially for the future.

As the second gameweek of the Premier League descends upon football fans in the States and across the world, supporters scramble and plan how they'll view matches and just how many they'll be able to fit into their crowded weekends. As new ways to view the Premier League constantly introduce themselves to the masses, more […]

The James Milner transfer from Aston Villa to Manchester City dragged on for weeks but finally happened yesterday. And shortly afterwards Stephen Ireland moved from City to Villa. But who do you think will do better this season? Will James Milner make a bigger impact at City, or will Ireland do better at Villa? Vote […]

Wednesday August 18, 2010 saw the New England Revolution return to Toyota Park for a MLS match-up versus the Fire. Just last month New England had visited the Fire in a Super Liga fixture that saw the visitors seal the fate of the Fire in the tournament. Both teams came in desperate for a win, […]
