Host, Krishnaiyer had a chance to sit down with the versatile defender who has recently joined Real Salt Lake to talk about his time in Europe and his return to the United States […]

We thought it'd be fun to pick our all-star injury football team featuring those Premier League players that always seem to be injured. Thanks to the EPL Talk readers who participated in last weekend's EPL Talk Chat for the idea. Chris Kirkland Gary Neville Mikael Silvestre Jonathan Woodgate Ledley King Owen Hargreaves Kieron Dyer Tim […]

Getafe will not be able to even use his one of their signings and the big Spanish teams will now have more reason as to not letting their players go when London 2012 rolls around. Argentine international Oscar Ustari will be out of action after he tore his ACL in the quarterfinal match against the […]

Manchester City may want to quickly forget their debut performance in their new third shirt. City wore the new orange football kit for the first time Sunday when they lost 4-2 against an on-song Aston Villa side. Designed by Le Coq Sportif and sponsored by Thomas Cook, the new Manchester City third shirt features blaze […]

England have been missing a rampaging forward ever since Alan Shearer retired from national duty in 2000. Gabriel Agbonlahor has the physique, the skill and the attitude to finally replace Shearer at the center of England's attack. A potted history of England's strikers since 2000: Michael Owen has continued to shine whenever he's pulled on […]

The first weekend of the Premier League is over, and what an entertaining weekend it was. Thirty two goals and an average of 3.2 goals per match, and a few surprise results. Who said the Premier League was boring?! Here are some of the highs and lows from this past weekend, as well as my […]

Growing up in Wales, August for me was synonymous with long summer nights, the excitement of a new season starting and Sunday morning rituals. Sunday mornings for my family were filled with traditional English breakfasts, cups of tea, the late morning smell of the roast beef cooking in the oven and reading the British tabloid […]

We're days away from the most important match of the Bob Bradley era and perhaps the most difficult. The trip to Guatemala is never easy, but making it even more difficult is that several American regulars are not in form by any stretch of the imagination. With the exception of Landon Donovan it's difficult to […]

Sven Goran Eriksson proved once again on Friday that he isn't going to manage in a traditional fashion when he recalled Cuauhtemoc Blanco of the Chicago Fire to the National Team ahead of Wednesday's massive qualifier at Estadio Azteca versus a very good Honduran side. This matchup between arguably the two most talented teams in […]

How will Scolari fair for Chelsea, can Man United shake off the injuries and start the season better than last season, is Manchester City crumbling, can Aston Villa win […]

The most impressive side I watched, by far, on Saturday was Middlesbrough. The link-up play between Tuncay, Alves, Downing, Aliadiere and, later, Mido was sensational. Wheater was also impressive. At times, it was like watching Brazil with all of the backheels and blistering attacks. Seriously. While Spurs controlled a lot of the possession in this […]

I’ve read with some amusement the last few days the opinions of people I respect questioning the apparent decision by the LA Galaxy to hire Bruce Arena.
