The Gunners began August on a high note, as they beat Chelsea to collect the Community Shield for the second consecutive season. Despite the big win at the start of the the 2015-16 campaign, confidence at the club was quickly shattered one week later, with Arsenal dropping their first league match to West Ham. The […]

To say that Chelsea have started slowly this season would be a rather generous understatement. The reality is their first month has been poor, especially when held to the standard of the previous season's impressive performances. Last year, Chelsea hit the ground running, winning all four opening matches and doing so with a dominant form that had […]

This December, beIN SPORTS will televise live La Liga games on Christmas Eve (December 24) and New Year's Eve (December 31) as a way to condense the season given that the Spanish league will end earlier than usual this season due to the Euro 2016 competition. The Spanish Primera League typically takes a winter break, […]

West Ham have been charged by the Football Association with failing to control their players following Mark Noble's dismissal at Liverpool.

David De Gea has been included in Manchester United's Champions League squad after his move to Real Madrid collapsed on Monday.

Stoke midfielder Ibrahim Afellay's suspension after his red card against West Brom has been reduced to two games following a successful appeal by the club.

LA Galaxy star Robbie Keane, truly as good a forward as has ever stalked for goals in Major League Soccer, tops a lot of lists for me. Before anyone gets too excited, or wonders if there’s some kind of cash prize for that, let me explain that this is not necessarily a good thing. The […]

It’s been better than last season for Everton, which is a positive. An opening day draw to Watford rekindled unfortunate memories of the previous term, but the Toffees showed what they are capable of with a rousing performing on the road at Southampton, swatting Saints aside with a wonderful 3-0 win. That’s the team’s only […]

Mark Noble will be available for West Ham's first fixture after the international break against Newcastle after the red card he received against Liverpool was rescinded. The Hammers captain, who scored the second goal of his side's 3-0 Premier League victory at Anfield, was sent off in the 78th minute when referee Kevin Friend judged […]

Thanks to some sort of administrative SNAFU, the long-running David De Gea transfer ended in utter farce this week. In a rare (and let’s be honest) very funny outcome, everyone lost. De Gea didn’t get his dream move, Manchester United somehow couldn’t lose the staredown without looking even more inept, and Real Madrid finally paid […]

Fans from Arsenal and Tottenham have expressed their frustration at the north London rivals' lack of activity during the summer transfer window.

As transfer markets go, summer 2015 has not disappointed. We've had real mega-deals, dramatic screw-ups, and plenty of records broken; exactly what us fans feed on! The stats do make for interesting reading, with the Premier League coming out way on top in terms of money spent, switching up on the norm of selling players abroad for […]

During the next week, there are over 70 international soccer matches scheduled that will be shown live on US television and Internet. They comprise everything from qualifiers for Euro 2016 qualifiers, Africa Cup of Nations, CONCACAF and friendlies featuring […]

Spain manager Vicente del Bosque admits it will be difficult for him to select David de Gea in his European Championship squad if the goalkeeper remains on the sidelines at Manchester United.
