It's been a few weeks since we've had a new episode in our weekly series, Friday Flashback Videos. So since Arsenal will be playing Manchester United this Sunday in the Premier League, I thought it'd be worthwhile to go back in time and watch the video highlights of the 1999 FA Cup semi-final replay between […]

With the NFL Draft coming up this (Thursday) evening, I’m going to turn from issues specific to fantasy games to something that strikes at the core of the game. The NFL Draft is an important day on the US sporting calendar because it represents hope and make no mistake, the reason that the NFL is […]

MLS has handed down the punishment for last weekend's tackle by Brian Mullan that broke Steve Zakuani's leg, and it's a doosy. The league suspended the veteran midfielder for an additional 9 games on top of his one game red card suspension and fined him $5,000 (plus $250 for the red card). The suspension is […]

Well, we were waiting all year for this weekend, only for Arsene's men to melt quickly over their last 10 matches. The only sides the Gunners beat in these last 10 were Blackpool and Leyton Orient! Now they can hold out some hope for 2nd and play the role of spoiler so that next week's showdown […]

It was a fantastic atmosphere at Rio Tinto Stadium as the 20,000 seater was jammed packed with Real Salt Lake fans getting ready to see their side and the rest of America hoping to see history being made in US Soccer. Not a single seat was empty in the suburbs of Salt Lake City and […]

Arsenal have announced the three teams who will be competing in the 2011 Emirates Cup against Arsenal, the annual tournament that is played at Emirates Stadium in north London. This year's opponents will be New York Red Bulls, Paris Saint Germain and Boca Juniors. The tournament will be played July 30-31. The tournament schedule is […]

Villarreal have progressed to the Europa League semi-finals after dispatching Dutch side FC Twente ruthlessly 8-2 on aggregate, setting up a mouthwatering tie against newly crowned Portuguese champions Porto. Juan Carlos Garrido's team are on the up; they sit fourth in the La Liga standings and are on the verge of competing in the Champions […]

Only one team were ever going to win this season's Bundesliga, as Jurgen Klopp's surprise package Borussia Dortmund have impressed from day one with their attacking and free-flowing style of football, reminiscent of the 1997 side that were crowned European Champions. With the league title all but in the bag and BVB set to compete […]

Video: Brawls at the Bernabeu Thank goodness the embarrassing spectacle of Real Madrid against Barcelona in the Champions League was played out in the semi-final of the tournament instead of the finale. The first leg of the semi-final was an example of everything that people hate about soccer. Barcelona players crowding the referee on several […]

Arsenal have announced details regarding the upcoming launch of its new home kit for the 2011-12 season. To commemorate next season's 125th anniversary of the club, the new Arsenal home shirt will be available from all official club stores on June 9. But it'll be available for pre-order from the club beginning on May 2. […]

Everton today announced that it has scheduled a friendly against Major League Soccer team Philadelphia Union for July 20, 2011 at PPL Park. The preseason friendly against Philadelphia is the second match that has been announced for Everton's summer tour of the United States. Everton will also play DC United on July 23. More dates […]

I hate to be the pessimist in the party, but guess what? The hype surrounding tonight's CONCACAF Champions League match is being overplayed. Don't get me wrong, a Real Salt Lake win (or a tie conceding one goal or fewer) would be a great testament to the advances that the domestic league has made in […]

There was an audible sense of relief on Wearside Saturday and for a change it was the home fans going away happy. The weekend saw a 4-2 win against relegation threatened Wigan Athletic for Sunderland. However like so often recently for Sunderland they made it hard for themselves, and Sunderland's recent form has been so […]

The woeful performances by both Schalke and Wolves Tuesday night were so poor that Manchester United and Stoke City steamrolled past both teams respectively with relative ease. Schalke now faces an exit from the Champions League while Wolverhampton Wanderers have one foot in the grave with relegation beckoning unless they can create some miracles in […]

Out of all of the characters in the Premier League, Mario Balotelli is one of the most interesting ones in the division. Whether you love him or hate him, you have to admit that he's one-of-a-kind. Whether it's his wink that incensed Rio Ferdinand in the FA Cup semi-final or his inability to put on […]
