You may have heard that football is about striving for glory, trying your best to win whatever the circumstances, and pleasing the fans by giving it your all each and every fixture. If you heard that, the person you heard it from is a liar. Instead, as Aston Villa's surrender to CSKA Moscow in the […]

It was a pretty good week for the Bundesliga in European competitions. Let's start with the disappointing. Wolfsburg followed a 2-0 road loss with a 1-3 loss at the VW to PSG of France. While PSG has been a self-imploding team over the previous two campaigns, contending with relegation both seasons, this year they have […]

After getting the nod from The Gaffer to start posting on La Liga Talk, I was in search of the first article I'd sink my teeth into. Drugs? Football Players? FIFA Agents? 600 pounds of blow? Oh come on now, this can't be real? Today in Spain, eleven people were arrested, five of which make […]

The question I am posing is looking purely at what the UEFA Cup means to clubs from the English Premier League. Judging by recent participants and how they have fared, it appears to feature very low on most Premiership clubs’ list of priorities. Before the profile of the European Cup was sufficiently raised and rebranded […]

Frankfurt’s "Saboteurs" Eintracht Frankfurt did not exactly bring Fireworks to the game in Karlsruhe this past weekend, at least not on the field.

And now, there's a new piece of evidence that casts doubt on Umbro's story. Last week, Umbro unveiled its newest version of its logo — […]

In front of over 55,000 at Olympic Stadium, the Montreal Impact of USL-1 worked off some of the side's substantial preseason rust and were victorious 2-0 over Santos Laguna. Despite the victory which gives the Impact an excellent chance of advancing from the two leg tie, Montreal looked like a team playing in its preseason […]

I'm happy Guus is not as thrilled about Chelsea's 1-0 win as I am. A bit of a side bar before I get into the news tonight. Chelsea are extremely lucky they are a goal to the good heading into their Champions League second leg. For starters, I don't believe Didier Drogba's goal should have […]

Brad Guzan has been anointed as Tim Howard's backup for international play with the US National Team. But count me among the skeptics as to whether or not Guzan is really ready for this responsibility. With Howard suspended for the next US qualifier in El Salvador, we'll learn a lot next month about the Aston […]

These questions for ESPN Soccer Programming Staff were sent to the highest levels at ESPN, and apparently they are afraid to answer these questions. I wanted to know the answers to corroborate what a source at ESPN had told me. I wanted a second source. While discussing ESPN's relationship with MLS, the original source indicated […]

The most exciting part of the UEFA Champions League is underway, The Knockout Stages. We're getting closer to crowning a European champion and if Italian teams continue to play the way they did on Tuesday in the 1st leg of the Round of 16 then the UEFA Champions League trophy will not settle in Lo […]

I am currently working on another story so in the meantime I give you a few odds and ends about some of the things that Fans and Teams have done or are working on. Borussia Dortmund Fan Projekt hosts Fan Club Tournament Borussia Dortmund tradition continued on Carnival Sunday when at 10 AM 40 […]
