One moment of magic is all that seperates the sides at the half. A cracking goal from Paul Scholes has United in the lead 1-0. Scholes was gifted the chance after a poor clearance from Zambrotta fell at his feet and he cracked a half-volley into the top corner from about 25 yards out. The […]

Manchester United v Barcelona: Live Blogging

I'll be on blogging live today so check back at the half for my comments. A few thoughts prior to kick-off: 1) Surprised to not see Rooney even make the bench and both Park & Nani starting. It points to a wide game from United as they'll hope to pressure the Barca fullbacks.

Barcelona v Manchester United: Catanaccio be Damned!

After a strangely defensive match at the Nou Camp in which they seemed to adopt a catenaccio mindset, United will look to get back to their usual attacking approach.

MLS Power Rankings Week 5

1- New England From my vantage point this is clearly the best team in the league with the best shot of winning MLS Cup. Shalrie Joseph showed his quality once again this time in more of an advanced role given then absence of both Mauricio Castro and Steve Ralston. 2- Toronto FC Amado Guevara is […]

Ronaldo is PFA Player of the Year, Fabregas is Young Player of the Year

This makes no sense, or at least half of it doesn't. For the second year in a row, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo was named the Premiership Player of the Year by his peers. He's scored 38 goals in all competitions this season and is fully deserving of the award. If he didn't win it unanimously, […]
