The Bayern Munich squad had their Oktoberfest priviliges withheld after poor Bundesliga form leaves them an entire 13 points away from the league summit. Uli Hoeness, the club's president, and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the current chairman of Bayern Munich, both had some choice words for the Bundesliga champions on their recent dip in form. Hoeness was […]

Both West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur have submitted bids to occupy the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, England once the 2012 Summer Olympic Games are over. West Ham's bid is in conjunction with Newham Council, while Tottenham's bid is conjunction with AEG. So far, West Ham's bid may be more palatable because theirs includes keeping […]

Several key Premier League matches scheduled for later this year were moved to accomodate the interests of Sky Sports and ESPN in the United Kingdom. The changes have big implications for soccer fans around the world and especially in the United States where many of you, the readers, reside. Based on the timeslots that Fox […]

As Liverpool have gone 20 years without winning the top division, especially to a younger generation, the enormity of LFC has probably never seemed quite powerful as it does to those of us who grew up with the club as an imperious, all-conquering club who simply won everything. It is testament to the legacy of […]

One of the highlights of the season for a lot of English football supporters is seeing the goals of the season. It's often a difficult decision to limit it to the best goal each month during the season. And even more so when only one goal is chosen as the winner of the best goal […]

Trevor Brooking has today claimed that Steve McClaren could one day return as the manger of the England side. With Fabio Capello already stating that he will leave his position with the FA after the 2012 European Championships, and the FA insisting that an Englishmen will replace him, could ‘The Wally with the Brolly’ really […]

Stuttgart are currently bottom of the league with a meagre three points from their first seven Bundesliga matches. Manager Christian Gross is definitely under fire, and I'm a bit shocked that he hasn't already been sacked. Stuttgart finished in sixth place in the Bundesliga last season, and the year before that they finished in third […]

So John W Henry, current owner of the Boston Red Sox, is about to take over Liverpool. Being a Florida Marlins fan, and a baseball fan in general, I’m very well aware of Mr. Henry’s history as a baseball owner, so here's my opinion about what I think he will bring to the club, both […]

Life is all about compromise. It's rare that you get everything you want, exactly the way you want it. The ability to accept that fact lends itself to happier living. “FIFA 11” is a good example. Last year's version raised the bar in terms of presentation, graphics and game play – making it difficult for […]

Niccolo brings up an interesting debate in his weekend review post that I wanted to put to a vote. This weekend we saw two incredible goals in Serie A, and I will throw it out to the readership to vote on which one was the best. Contender #1 – Ilicic's Opening Goal Against Fiorentina Josip […]

The timing of the release of an anti-Tom Hicks video made by British film producer Mike Jefferies and Liverpool FC supporters couldn't have been better. While a majority of the Liverpool board has agreed to sell the club to New England Sports Ventures (NESV), owners of the Boston Red Sox, New England Sports Network, Fenway […]

It was a fantastic final in Seattle, Washington as 31,311, a new record attendance in the US Open Cup Final, jammed inside Qwest Field to watch their first Championship Final involving their Sounders and a possible repeat to keep the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. This tournament since 1914 had plenty of action, pace and […]

Fans of Liverpool Football club have finally got what they wanted with the news that George Gillett and Tom Hicks are set to sell the club. New England Sports Ventures, fronted by self made-millionaire John W Henry, will takeover at Anfield subject to Premier League approval. But speaking to Liverpool fans soon after the news […]

In goal, I've got Wolfsburg's Diego Benaglio. If it wasn't for him, Borussia Monchengladbach may have walked away with three points against Steve McClaren's side. Benaglio is always a reliable player, but he stood out this weekend for his side. At right-back, I've got Bayern Munich's Philipp Lahm. The Germany captain was assured in defense, […]

While their young stars will go globetrotting with their national sides this weekend, there will still be a sense of disappointment in the Arsenal squad. Sunday’s defeat at Chelsea was a familiar story for the Gunners, as once again they failed to get a result against their London rivals. Will this result be the story […]
