Here's the press release that was distributed this morning, announcing all of the developments on the site between now and the August 19th Premiership kick-off.

The latest episode of the EPL Talk Podcast is now available featuring an interview with Jeremy St. Louis, an anchor from the Fox Sports World Report show available on Fox Soccer Channel.

Photos from today's EPL Talk tour for the 2006 World Cup Final: Queen Mary British Pub, Jupiter Farms, Florida. I've also posted a video on YouTube. It's from inside the pub of the fans watching the final two penalties as Italy wins the 2006 World Cup.

What a final! Two evenly matched teams gave the world a show, and perhaps the better team didn’t win (after all I am partial to France, my pre-World Cup pick to win the title) but the real winner was the game of Soccer/Football. After three consecutive sub par World Cup finals, this game lived up […]

Today's Italy against France World Cup Final is a true clash of titans. Both teams are overflowing with class players, but who will prevail? Here are some of the key matchups: Cannavaro and Henry. If Fabio Cannavaro can stop Henry from getting into scoring positions, France has little chance of getting a goal in this […]

In the final match of the EPL Talk tour of South Florida pubs and restaurants, I'll be making the trek to the Queen Mary British Pub in Jupiter to capture the excitement of the Italy against France final. I spent a lot of yesterday trying to find a perfect Italian cafe or restaurant that would […]

If Jurgen Klinsmann turns down the expected offer of becoming the next US national team manager, what would you think about Sven-Goran Erikkson taking the reigns of managing the US instead? It's not entirely an insane idea. The reason I mention the topic is because today the BBC is reporting that Erikkson has just turned […]

Several American TV broadcasts have labeled the French run to the World Cup Final as a major "surprise," and analysts such as Nick Webster (who picked the mighty three lions of England to win the World Cup), Julie Foudy and Alexi Lalas have expressed shock over the past two weeks that France has been able […]

Two greats of the game, Portugal's Luis Figo and Germany's Oliver Kahn who was the Most Outstanding Player of the 2002 World Cup announced their retirment from International Soccer following Germany's 3-1 victory over Portugal in the third place match.

It's the weekend of the World Cup Final, and it'll be interesting to see how the media in the United States reacts to The Big Game. So far, so good. While watching the Charlie Rose show Friday night on PBS, ESPN color commentator Tommy Smyth was interviewed and previewed Sunday's match. Although Smyth rubs a […]

We have one last copy of the World Soccer Winning Eleven 9 video game to give away on this Sunday's podcast. So far, we're yet to receive a correct response, so if you enter between now and Sunday, you'll have a good chance of winning the game for the XBOX console. To win a copy, […]

While Setanta has been making plenty of waves recently after acquiring two of the rights packages to show Premiership matches in the UK starting in the 2007/2008 season, now it's turn for the US branch of Setanta Sports to make headlines.
