Major League Soccer (MLS) is expected to announce Monday that Chelsea has been invited to play in the MLS All-Star Game this summer in Chicago. The EPL Talk Blog reported on March 16 that there were significant rumors about the Blues coming to Chicago.

Fox Soccer Channel must have been reading my mind. Two days after my previous post, FSC announced they were adding a new EPL highlight show entitled "Super Saturday Plus." It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it's encouraging to see Fox Soccer Channel developing new programming. Speaking of Fox Soccer Channel, the first issue of […]

That's how much revenue Man United will lose if they don't qualify for the next round of the Champions League. What can you say about their game yesterday against Villarreal? The game was definitely more entertaining than the nil-nil scoreline suggests. The first 20 minutes, especially, were riveting as Man Utd delivered onslaught after onslaught […]

In the four EPL games that Fox Soccer Channel televised this weekend, viewers witnessed 15 goals – an average of 3.75 per game! Who said the EPL was boring? Not only were the number of goals impressive but the sheer quality was astounding. In three out of the four games, we have the following contenders […]

Watching Barcelona clobber Real Madrid this weekend, I couldn’t help but compare Spanish’s Primera Liga to the EPL. My conclusion is that: The skills on display during the Spanish crunch match were far superior to the EPL, The pace of the game is noticeably faster in the UK, and Spanish fans are much less passionate […]

What sticks in my mind, though, is the inexcusable television coverage by ESPN. Anyone remember watching this match? It’s hard to believe but *while* […]
