The state of Manchester United’s midfield continues to be one of the main talking points of the transfer season. Unlike last summer where United failed to make any new additions to bolster their midfield, the Red Devils have signed attacking midfielders Shinji Kagawa and Nick Powell. While Kagawa will likely instantly feature in the starting […]

1) MVP: Andres Iniesta being named the tournament's best player: The Spanish attacking midfielder has been one of the world's best players for the last few years; however, he was not even Spain's best player during Euro 2012. The decision to name him as Euro 2012's best player seems questionable and an escape from a more complex […]

Which is Spain's greatest influence or factor in their triumph at Euro 2012? – Squad's Depth: Spain remains the deepest team, particularly in the midfield area. With a host of players capable of dictating play or dominating possession or creating scoring opportunities such as Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas and Xabi Alonso, the Spaniards […]

As the players that participated in the latter stages of Euro 2012 lie on a beach in an exotic location somewhere and perhaps reflect upon a long, grueling campaign, many of their club colleagues have already returned to pre-season training ahead of a new season. The first week of pre-season training is year zero for […]

A reliable industry source has informed me that former Canadian Women's National Team, Vancouver Whitecaps Women, and UCLA women's soccer player Kara Lang is under serious consideration by Rogers Sportsnet in Toronto for an anchor position on the new soccer newscast premiering September 1, 2012 at 10pm Eastern Time on FOX Soccer (U.S.) and Sportsnet […]

It's not quite Judge Judy, but the Premier League news cycle today moves into a courtroom drama where you have Anton Ferdinand claiming racial abuse aimed at him by John Terry in the infamous QPR-Chelsea game from last season. Hopefully the court case can be over and done with pretty quickly. The sooner we move […]

If there was ever a perfect night for a soccer team, Saturday proved to be it for the Seattle Sounders. Short of winning a MLS Cup, this was probably one of the happiest nights for the Sounders fans. Fans and players had to endure a long nine match league winless streak. A streak that wasn’t […]

For once it seems that football may take a back seat for Britons this summer, as the Olympic Games come to London. For a collection of nations that are so fanatical about the Premier League, the SPL and their respective international sides, the Olympic Football has gone somewhat unnoticed and uncared for. The faces of […]

A move for Ajax centre-back Jan Vertonghen has been agreed with Tottenham Hotspur, and the Ajax captain is now just a medical and signature away from officially being a Tottenham Hotspur footballer. The on-again off-again race to sign Vertonghen, who was Ajax captain, appears to be over, which is wonderful news for Tottenham supporters given […]

Since Euro 2012 ended, I've been watching Wimbledon. Not the football club, but the tennis championship. For someone like me, who eats, lives and breathes Premier League football practically 365 days a year, it's been a nice change to watch a different sport. But even while trying to take a little reprieve from the busy […]

Spain reigned supreme on the pitch, but which nation stole the sartorial show? Euro 2012 was a tame tourney for football kits when compared to some of the shock shirts of years past, but still had its fair share of gems which we will see again soon when World Cup 2014 qualifying begins this fall. […]

Today's confirmation that Park Ji-Sung has agreed a move from Manchester United to Queens Park Rangers is brilliant news for QPR fans, but very concerning news for United supporters. This is a footballer who often was Manchester United's trump card — the player that Sir Alex Ferguson used in big matches to either grab a […]

Former US international and ex-Fulham striker Brian McBride recently answered several questions for EPL Talk. This upcoming season, McBride, along with several other footballers for Wembley FC, will be mentoring a non-league team. He'll be joined by former internationals Ray Parlour, Martin Keown, Graeme Le Saux and Claudio Caniggia in their FA Cup campaign this […]

Fulham losing Pavel Pogrebnyak is definitely a blow, whether Fulham supporters will admit it or not. The Russian striker scored 6 goals for Fulham last season in just 12 league appearances. The Cottagers will miss that strike-rate this next season. For Reading, meanwhile, it's a big coup for manager Brian McDermott. Here are the rest of […]
