Beautiful Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah. A suburb of Salt Lake City was the host for this years All-Star Game which was a fantastic display of Goalkeeping we haven't seen in a while. Both Kasey Keller & Tim Howard making diving save, after diving save to keep their sides alive for the eventual match winner […]

In 2006, the MLS All Stars took down mighty but vacationing Chelsea 1-0 at Toyota Park. Here are my photos from the match. I also attended the 1998 MLS All Star Game in Orlando but do not have any photos from that games as I did not take my camera.

I know it's only July... I know the first round proper is months away... But I've decided to give some extra love to the FA Cup this season. Lately the top clubs have been treating the world's oldest football competition like the red-headed step-child of trophy runs. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and United refuse to devote themselves as […]

The summer is far from over and we haven't even got close to seeing the end to the transfers for the Premiership, but who are the early favourites for the league title next season? Manchester United have certainly lost one of their major assets in the form of Cristiano Ronaldo which would appear to make […]

Manchester City are spending their way into the Premier League top four. Paradoxically, the club most amenable to their ambition is Arsenal, whom they wish to supplant.

ESPN360 is only available online to customers of ISPs who have contracted with ESPN to make the service available. And Comcast was one of […]

As is the usual preseason prediction, the three promoted sides are always the favourites to go straight back down. Last season gave us something of a novelty in recent years, with two of the three sides that came up in 2007-2008 staying with us for another year, as close as Hull tried to throw it […]

One of last season's semi-finalists, Hamburger SV, enter this year's competition in the third qualifying round against Randers FC of Denmark. Hamburg have added one of the most exciting young talents in Europe to their squad and will look to make it all the way to the Europa League finals which will be held at […]

" It was just a C team" goes the mantra. For some this is just a simple retort to accept and write off a 5-0 loss to your biggest rivals who were also playing without the majority of their top players (in fact, I would note before this tournament started Gerrado Torrado was the only […]

Part 2: The Match It took me a while to accept the surreal feeling born of both Milan teams playing in my back yard. I was at Gillette Stadium watching soccer and the place was bursting with energy. Average attendance for the New England Revolution in 2008 was 17,580. Only two sides of the stadium will […]
