As you may know former longtime Germany and Bayern no. 1 Oliver Kahn had his testimonial exactly a week ago in Munich. The match, between Bayern and Germany, ended 1-1, but the score was less important than the man honored that night. His accomplishments are legion and well-known, including, perhaps most impressively, being the only […]

Last month Serie A Talk kept you up-to-date on the evolution of Nikefootball.com with the article, The Fabio Cannavaro Show , this time round we've got some video adverts with several of Serie A's top stars.

This is a bit late but I did want to acknowledge that UEFA.com has re-launched with a new take on their familiar look. The layout is a bit cleaner though the page now contains more elements. The color scheme is basic white and black though the newly launched photo gallery adds plenty of color. I'd […]

Bowing to pressure from Keane, Dwight Yorke, the captain of Trinidad and Tobago has withdrawn from the squad due to take on […]

Over the last 24 hours I've been reading several interesting and amusing headlines including, the predicted signing of Gianfranco Zola as the next Hammer's manager, the possible return of Edgar Davids to Serie A, Mourinho's Fury regarding his cable bill and Marcello Lippi shuffling the deck for World Cup qualifying. Gianfranco Zola – labelled as, "one of Chelsea's greatest players […]

st1:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } 1. Parity Okay, let’s not kid ourselves. Not any team can win the Bundesliga. But since the inception of the EPL in 1991, four teams have won the title: United, Blackburn, Chelsea and Arsenal, but United has won 11 of those titles. In that same span, five teams have won the title in […]

Looking forward to seeing how Manchester United employ new signing Dimitar Berbatov this weekend versus Liverpool, or better yet, who gets the hook up front: Wayne Rooney or Carlos Tevez. While Rooney may need a breather after playing for England the past couple of weeks, I don't see how Sir Alex Ferguson can leave out […]

No offense to the celebrities that we've interviewed over the past few years for EPL Talk, but sometimes the best stories are from the actual fans themselves, like yourself. If you're a regular reader to EPL Talk, you've read hundreds if not thousands of words from the fingertips of myself and the team of bloggers […]

Six points in the bag and little doubt the US will advance to the hexagonal. However the truth be told I think the United States finishes third in the hexagonal on current form and must improve its linkup play and general possession play in the final four matches of this qualifying stage.

It's time for FIFA to rethink international football. In 1992, UEFA changed the European Cup to the Champions League and transformed European club football into a more entertaining product that generates vast sums of money. It also didn't hurt that the tournament now attracts a cumulative television audience of 4 billion viewers in 227 countries. […]

Schalke, currently sitting at the top of the Bundesliga, have surged ahead to the peak of another, less prestigious table – the goalkeeper injury table. First choice keeper Manuel Neuer has yet to make an appearance this season, having broken his fifth metatarsal during a pre-season friendly against SpVgg Erkenschwick (currently playing in the equivalent […]

Azulón president Ángel Torres came out with all guns blazing as his team will be without their two goalkeepers in less than a month. What made the club prsident more indignated was the fact that he did not receive a call from any Argentine footbal federation official to talk about the matter and arrangements as […]
