There are only 93 days to go before the 2010 World Cup kicks off. As we get closer to the tournament, the pressure will increase for many England players as they worry whether they'll make the final squad or not. Based on their experience and what the players can offer on the pitch, here is […]

You may have heard the phrase before, "Behind every great man there's a great woman." Or as Jim Carrey said, "Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes." While we're rolling out of bed at indecent hours or sacrificing a part of our life in the name of football, there is often a […]

BSkyB's Martin Tyler was voted Premier League Commentator of the Decade. This summer, he will be the lead commentator for ESPN's coverage of the World Cup in the United States. On this edition of the EPL Talk podcast, the broadcasting icon joined me to talk about his preparations for the World Cup, what story lines […]

And so it begins in earnest. After months of pressure being to filter through from fan groups, the last few weeks have seen Manchester United fans begin to turn up the pressure on the Glazer family. Do not be fooled by people giving this anti-American slant, this is not about such trivial matters as nationality. […]

Last night I hunted down a clip on my 501 goals DVD. It's Liverpool's Craig Johnston talking sometime in the 80s about Liverpool's approach: "It's the simplicity of the game that Liverpool play that's so amazing... You get the ball at your feet... And you see players like Phil Neal and Sammy Lee—and see them five […]

Many soccer fans had a chance this past weekend to test the relaunched FoxSoccer.tv broadband service for the first time. While the service is much better than before and features so much more programming, it's still missing some simple features that would make it easier to use and a more pleasurable experience. Before I share […]

Imagine for a minute that you just received a letter from a corporate recruiter congratulating you on a new position you've been selected for. It's a dream job just miles away from your favorite Premier League club in England. Sure, it would be a massive life change, but the new company you'll be working for […]

The Almería – Barcelona match had not concluded when Real Madrid took to the pitch, but a few minutes into their match with Sevilla, they knew that Barça slipped at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos and dropped two points with a 2-2 draw against Almería.

After Landon Donovan’s empathic goal at Goodison Park yesterday, he was carried by teammate Jack Rodwell into the corner nearer the crowd so he could receive the plaudits from the fans more directly. That the crowd started chanting USA-USA-USA was not surprising. English supporters have taken up the famous cheer to celebrate whenever an American […]

He's my hero of sorts, the integral piece of the attacking puzzle to my beloved Manchester United and my (adopted) country of England. He's the bulldog who never gives up, the born leader with enough natural footballing talent to make the recently departed Cristiano Ronaldo raise an eye in disbelief and possibly realize United haven't […]

It was a bit of an unusual Saturday for me in terms of my viewing habits. I began the day by watching Portsmouth against Birmingham City in the FA Cup. But instead of watching my customary 10am ET Premier League match, I watched Nottingham Forest against Swansea City and later regretted it after seeing Forest's […]

As of press time, no TV provider is broadcasting Fox Soccer Plus in HD. Fox Soccer Plus is on DirecTV, DISH Network and Verizon FiOS, but each of the three channels are only showing the channel in SD. But what would Fox Soccer Plus look like in HD if you could see it? Thanks to […]

In a recent post entitled Paul Scholes He Scores,.....Blunders, I asked readers of EPL Talk to leave comments remembering the most odd or freakishly scored goals they'd ever witnessed. The feedback was moderate at best, until my Father of all people recently stumbled upon what has to be the gem of all gems. The Helicopter […]

Well it's time to discuss some topics on what's been going on for the past week. As we all know about Announcer Gate, John Paul Dellacamera (His full name) has been the voice of American Soccer for as long as I can remember. He has been on T.V. for ESPN during past UEFA Champions League […]
