After […]

Check out the link to the YouTube video above, well worth a look from FIFA 13... In previous years, FIFA players could have been accused of dodging real league politics and injuries; form and formation; fixtures and fixations.

The last couple of weeks have been a blur for me. I wish I could say it's been hours spent playing FIFA 13, but it's been a combination of several things — helping my wife launch her food truck business, driving my daughter to her soccer games and practices for her new travel soccer team, […]

Manchester United is in the rare position of having a few key players available from injuries to play in their match this weekend.

I'll also try my hand at prognostication, which may or may not be a train wreck, but let's have some fun with this. The last weekend […]
