‘One nil to the Arsenal’ was the famous song that emanated from fortress Highbury during the lengthy and successful tenure of the pragmatic George Graham.

It would have been sometime around 1995 or 1996 when I first watched a game of football. It was the season of Newcastle's collapse, of "I'd Love It!" and supposedly not being able to win anything with kids. I grew up in a non-football household with not a single family member showing the slightest interest […]

Another chapter of the Lionel Messi legacy was last night etched into history. The mercurial Argentine became the first player to score five goals in a Champions League match, helping Barcelona to a 7-1 second leg victory over a less than inspired Leverkusen side. While Arsenal put on a master class in how to over-turn […]

Borussia Dortmund is without a doubt the hottest team in the Bundesliga at the moment, and possibly all of Europe.

Ahh, we’re almost here! Last night’s CONCACAF Champions League showdowns really revved things up for me. There is something unique about the North American game.
