I've been playing Fantasy Premier League (FPL) for several years, but in that time the FPL website has changed very little.

While soccer fans throughout the United States are enjoying their Premier League soccer matches in glorious HD, Comcast subscribers such as myself and countless others have to watch the same games in SD. The picture quality in SD, especially on Fox Soccer Channel, is woeful at times. The sooner Comcast gets its act together, the […]

Despite the unpredictable British weather there is much to look forward to for the avid football fan. Today marks the beginning of advent, the countdown to Christmas; this day also signifies that the beginning of the most important period in the English football season is about to begin.

Michael Ballack's return to the Bundesliga has so far been nothing to write home about. The midfield general has been plagued by injury, and he's rarely had a chance to showcase the phenomenal talent we all remember him for. Finally, though, Ballack has returned to first-team training and it could be at the perfect time […]

Less than 48 hours from now, we will know whether the U.S. bid for the 2022 World Cup was a success or a failure. In Zurich the U.S. delegation is counting votes, firming up yeses and feeling out no votes. One advantage the U.S. has is star power, something a country like Qatar has to […]

Jonathan Spector made the most of a starting appearance for West Ham in its Carling Cup tie against Manchester United. He scored two goals in the first half to help West Ham knock off the Carling Cup holders, 4-0. The U.S. International headed home a cross from Victor Obinna in the 22nd minute before pouncing […]

October ended with Chelsea looking imperious and pulling away from the chasing pack at the top of the Premiership. The side seemed to playing with such verve and spirit that I simply couldn't see where any worthy challenge could come from. Manchester United were struggling to hit any real form, but continued to pick up […]
