Chelsea overcame their largest remaining title obstacle on Sunday, a comfortable 2-0 win at Anfield where an unfortunate assist from Steven Gerrard helped officially eliminate Liverpool's chances of returning to Champions League. On this edition of the EPL Talk podcast, myself, Laurence McKenna and Kartik Krishnaiyer review the weekend that was in the Premiership, a […]

Italy coach Marcello Lippi has picked 29 players for training this week but did not include any players from Roma or Inter who will be contesting the Coppa Italia final. Serie A leaders Inter will probably not have any member in the Azzurri squad headed to South Africa 2010 considering Davide Santon is injured while […]

[polldaddy poll=3142215] It was a nerve-wracking Sunday in the Premier League with both Chelsea and Manchester United's Premier League title hopes on the line, but both clubs came through with their much needed three points. That means that the Premier League will be decided on the final day of the season. Who could ask for […]

It was Saturday morning and I needed to run a few errands with my 2 year old son. I thought I would take him to Patriot Place to walk around and get some exercise. Patriot Place is adjacent to Gillette Stadium where the New England Revolution play. The Revs would be playing FC Dallas later […]

Fire veteran and Chicago area native Brian McBride played his 200th MLS game in Bridgeview, Illinois last night. Another hometown player Baggio Husidic scored in the 52nd minute for the Fire and Maicon Santos answered in the 76th minute to level the score and send Chivas USA back to California with a draw.

Out of the Europa league, out of the Champion's League next season, trophy-less this season, and with key players and manager looking likely to leave, Liverpool's season of agony is coming to a close. An outstanding contrast to the way they finished last season, the question on all Pool fans' minds will inevitably be "what […]

Someone at Fox Soccer Channel needs to learn the time difference between England and the East Coast of the United States. Take a look at the above picture snapped this morning to see how potential new customers FoxSoccer.tv may have missed after they listed the wrong start time for the 8:30am ET game. Ouch. At […]

Sunday's Liverpool match against Chelsea was a perfect reflection of the dire situation the once proud red half is in. It was a hapless, abject performance from Liverpool who floated around the pitch like ghosts. Lacking inspiration, desire and spirit, the 2-0 scoreline to Chelsea was a fair result. While the Liverpool team of this […]

What in the world is going on with the New York Red Bulls? Opening up a brand new stadium is one thing, but going on the road and earning two wins of their past three is absolutely unbelievable. No matter what anyone says, a side that hasn't earned their first win of the season like […]

For weeks pundits have pointed to Sunday as the defining day in the race for the EPL Crown. Chelsea travels to Anfield to take on an always-dangerous Liverpool side. Chelsea hold a one-point lead over Manchester United and Liverpool are clinging to slim Champions' League hopes. The Blues defeated The Reds 2-0 at Stamford Bridge […]

It's hard to believe, but it's the last weekend before the final Sunday of the 2009-10 Premier League season. I think you'll agree that it's been an incredible one both on and off the pitch. But before I get too nostalgic, there are still big games happening this weekend and plenty to talk about. Feel […]

Stoke City announced this morning that Adidas will be their official kit supplier for the next four years. In normal circumstances, that would be good news but many Stoke City supporters are upset at the speculation (which has now been confirmed by Stoke City) that the backs of the shirts will feature a solid back […]

Last week's match at Old Trafford between two in-form teams — Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur — was broadcast on ESPN2 in the United States. Regarding the number of viewers the 7:30am ET game got, it garnered a viewing audience of 388,000 and achieved a 0.3 rating. The audience of 388,000 definitely puts the game […]
