Author Dougie Brimson is this week's featured guest on the EPL Talk Podcast.

Brimson is the author […]

Sometimes it's not the wisest idea to having Spanish-speaking announcers commentating a soccer match in English, especially when it's not their native tongue. The perfect example was today's Real Zaragoza against Racing Santander match. Here's what the GolTV commentator said during the match: "It's a pity for Racing Santander that they no longer have Zigic […]

At last, fans of Premier League football had an extremely entertaining Saturday to watch on television. The majority of entertaining matches in the season thus far (the few that have been) have been on Sundays. Today was a perfect example of the difference in quality and tactics between Liverpool and Spurs. Both teams played against […]

Have you ever gone to a sore and seen a computer or TV set, what have you, and you knew right away it was going to be yours. The problems was that you couldn't afford it. You waited and waited for it to go down in price but several people after you were interested and […]

Watching Through The Night from Sky Sports, their nightly sport news show, is usually an enjoyable experience. But Friday night's episode on the final night of the August transfer window was so full of hype and nonsense that I had a sickly feeling in the pit of my stomach. The show was on Sky Sports […]

Another summer transfer window has come and gone. Last August, we were salivating at the prospect of all of those Italian World Cup heroes coming to play in England for large amounts of dosh. Most of them were players from Juventus, yes, but we were told there would be an exodus. There wasn't. This past […]

Danny Szetela who at various times in the past month has been rumored to go to Serie A club AS Roma, or to one of any number of Premiership clubs is headed to La Liga. More on this as details become availible. UPDATE SATURDAY MORNING: DANNY SZETELA'S AGENT, SHEP MESSING SAYS THAT THE YOUNGSTER TURNED […]

As we've been blogging here all week, the legal spat between Mediapro and Sogecable broadcast rights has begun to heat up even further and threatens the rest of the season. 58 million euros is said to already be owed by Mediapro to Sogecable for last year's matches and now a further claim of 200 million […]

I hope Kartik doesn't mind, but I am promoting my French Soccer Blog on here. It is a look at not only the national team, but Ligue 1 and sometimes Ligue 2 as well. I hope that many of you can come and visit it soon. Here is the link: http://liguesoccer.blogspot.com/

Thursday's draw for the group stages was made at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco and sees some of last season's knockout stage matchups grouped together.

The third qualifying round completed on Tuesday and Wednesday (except for the postponed AEK Athens – Sevilla match) and there were few shocking results except for the ouster of Ajax by SK Slavia Praha. This will be a major disappointment for Ajax as they lost to FC København in the third qualifying round a year […]

The summer of disappointment got worse for US Soccer today with a 2-1 Round of 16 loss to Germany today. The US controlled much of the play, but as is typical with American youth teams in major competitions, the finishing was poor and all the high energy play led to being susceptible at the back. […]

Pachuca is the little club that could. Late last night in front of a sellout crowd at the Home Dept Center they one their fourth trophy in nine months as they defeated a disgracefully outclassed LA Galaxy side in a penalty shootout. Landon Donovan missed an opportunity to win the match for the Galaxy when […]
