Tottenham Hotspur will be officially unveiling its new 2008/2009 kit on Tuesday, May 6, but you can see a sneak preview of the shirt now which was released via Facebook (thanks to the excellent Football Shirts website for uncovering it).

It's one of the oldest and most historic football grounds in the world. It has hosted the FA Cup Final and a World Cup Semi-Final, but its future looks bleak. If Everton Football Club moves to Kirkby, then Everton's Goodison Park that they've been in since 1892 will be no more.

Admittedly, this is a blog focusing mainly on the Premiership, with occasional Champions League talk and even discussion about the UEFA Cup when the situation calls for it. I've tried to pay as much attention as possible to the promotion, playoff, and relegation races in the lower leagues in English soccer this year, though, and […]

For years Major League Soccer didn’t attract internationals who had been part of their national team set up at any point. In the early days of MLS, not only did the league attract many active national team players, but the league also sent a number of players from outside CONCACAF to the 1998 World Cup […]

Now that's what a semi-final should be! Chelsea finally achieved their dream of a place in the UEFA Champions League final by holding off Liverpool FC by an aggregate of 4-3, 3-2 in yesterday's match.

Football stadiums can do bizarre things to people's minds sometimes. For example, I don't want Fulham to be relegated. It has nothing to do with the fact that they have several American players. Nor does it have anything to do with an admiration for the pleasing style of football that their players employ. The reason […]

Wow. That's all there is to say. That was how a Champions League semifinal should be played. That was a terrific, terrific two hours of soccer. Congratulations to Chelsea, obviously, for winning 3-2 and advancing to Moscow to play Manchester United on May 21, in what will be the first all-English final in Champions League […]

Yesterday's passing of Gordon Bradley I must admit left me totally numb. I read about his passing on Steve Goff's blog at the Washington Post.com and couldn't believe it had come so quickly after John Feinstein's article of last week in the Post about Bradley. For those of us who grew up with the NASL, […]

• Great atmosphere at Stamford Bridge tonight. This is a proper, proper European occasion. It wouldn’t be complete without pouring rain either; the drearier, the better. • Terrific long, diagonal ball from Ballack to Ashley Cole in the 8th minute. The German captain has been a man on a mission recently. • Why did Torres […]

Imagine for a minute that you're one of the executives at either Fox Soccer Channel or Setanta Sports, and you have to decide which Premier League matches you'll show on the final day of the season on U.S. TV. All of the matches on May 11 kick off at the same time: 10am ET/3pm GMT. […]

I had a crazy evening trying to get my new LCD TV delivered (long story short – it's still not there but should be by this evening) so I am a little behind on putting together my usual verbose preview. I think the lineups will look like this:

Here are pictures of what are rumoured to be the new designs for the Tottenham home, away and third shirts for the 2008/2009 season.

This was more of the game everyone wanted to see. Not loaded with chances but a very dramatic tilt as United clung to their one goal lead with some desperate defending as they dropped everyone into their own half to nullify the Barcelona attacks. Backed by one of the louder Old Trafford crowds in recent […]

Without their best forward in Wayne Rooney and their best defender in Nemanja Vidic, Manchester United made a fabulous 14th-minute strike from Paul Scholes stand up with a 1-0 victory over Barcelona to win their Champions League semifinal tie. Patrice Evra put in a man of the match-type performance at left back this afternoon for […]
