Late Liverpool Halt Chelsea's Faltering Challenge It's a cold Sunday afternoon and I've parked my backside on the sofa to watch Liverpool vs Chelsea, a clash of the title contenders. Man United's ominous form coupled with their rivals inability to keep pace means we all know that the team that loses Sunday's game is well and truly out of […]

For those ney-sayers trying to find a reason to knock the league leaders, the game against Racing on Sunday was the ammo that they needed. Their ability to diagnose the Barcelona attack with a chronic case of "Messi-dependency" became obvious as Pep Guardiola's lead over Real Madrid was about to be trimmed to nine. Enter […]

If anyone deserves Liverpool man of the match award, it's not a Liverpool player. Instead of the honor going to Fernando Torres, that award should be awarded to the man in the middle Mike Riley. Every time I see Mike Riley as referee to any game, my thoughts immediately change from how the game is […]

The final hours in the European transfer market usually make for big splashes and as well as some that leave people scratching their heads.

Let me take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Peter, a formerly traditional American sports fan, not to be confused with fanatic, located in the Valley of the Sun, aka the Phoenix metroplex. Oh, I would follow the World Cup and was aware of the MLS Cup. I even watched MLS Cup a couple of […]

Arsenal’s weaknesses have been prevalent in a season more perilous than any under the Wenger regime. Arsenal have neither an experienced nor a competent holding midfielder. Their central defense has been inconsistent. Incompetent moments at the back have cost them points. As of right now, they are the favorites to drop from the Champions League […]

One of the factors used in gauging the popularity of a sporting league and/or a sports team is attendance. While I have heard some, not all, MLS fans complain about poor attendance for MLS matches, I have never really taken the time to sit down and compare MLS attendance with attendance in other US sports […]

The first episode of Special 1 TV has premiered, and it's an instant classic. Be sure to check out the tribute to Robbie Keane, a call from Beckham in Milan (sounding clueless) and even a surprise phone call from a closet West Ham United supporter in the United States.

In the 48th minute against Numancia... the Madrid captain equalled Alfredo DiStefano as the club's all-time scorer with 307 goals. His goal came after a ball was cleared out and he volleyed it into the back of the net to make the score 1-0. Arjen Robben would make it 2-0 seven minutes later as Madrid […]

If there is one thing that I have learned is that history is a series of sequences in human existence that have repeated themselves time and time again because of our thick-headedness. If my calculations are correct, Julien Faubert could be the next idol of Real Madrid. Ok, he was a Plan T after they […]
