In what I see as a move with more financial impact than on-field impact, AC Milan are courting another superstar whose best days are behind him, but who is still capable of packing a commercial punch. The latest move is to be a loan deal for LA Galaxy star David Beckham. Beckham's season is over […]

Tottenham's season so far has been abysmal, but how does it compare with other dreadful seasons from Premier League clubs? Leeds United's 2003/2004 season was particularly poor especially the comical performances by Roque Junior, which I'll never forget. What for you has been the worst season by a big Premier League side? Which […]

It's a joy to watch players evolve in the Premier League and become world-class footballers. A few examples include Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Theo Walcott. But for every starlet, there are also shining stars who seem to get worse each week and fail to live up to the promises they showed earlier on in […]

What a difference 24 hours makes after briefly discussing on World Soccer Daily the possibility of David Beckham leaving the Galaxy, (for training with AC Milan making his England position more secure) Becks is buying plane tickets for the Northern Italian fashion capital.

You may not be aware that Deutsche Welle has really ramped up their coverage of the Bundesliga in Ballspiel this season. I had often wondered why they didn't have particularly strong coverage, but things are changing and you should definitely bookmark their site. I am particularly enjoying Sean Sinco's blog. His latest entry is about […]

The top two clubs in the Championship swapped positions again, Derby County's unbeaten streak was snapped and Nottingham Forest still sit rooted to the foot of the table. Four red cards were shown on Tuesday along with goals galore. Barnsley 2 (Hume 4', Campbell-Ryce (pen) 61') Sheffield Wednesday 1 (Clarke (pen) 69') Birmingham 1 (O'Connor […]

Karlsruhe and Eintracht Frankfurt repaid the 80 minutes of my life (and the 51,000 strong at the Commerz Bank Arena) that they stole with a scintillating finish. A game that was so boring that it would be offensive to compare it to the oft-used paint drying scenario, erupted into a comedy of blunders in the […]

Going through some old boxes last week, I found a handmade poetry book I created in primary school when I was living in Wales. I thought it'd be interesting to share the poems and my pictures no matter how crude and silly they are to help paint a picture of what a ten-year old soccer […]

Fox Soccer Channel has become a Nielsen rated network for the first time this month. These ratings have shown at least to this point that my personal public boasts that a silent majority of football fans in the United States were more interested in MLS than the vocal minority that follow the English Premier League […]
