One of the defining moments from Arsenal's 3-2 loss against Tottenham Hotspur Saturday was Arsene Wenger showing his frustration by smashing his water bottle into the ground after Spurs came back from two-nil down to win 3-2. Wenger hates to lose and is quite apparent when his anger gets the better of him as it […]

Regarding Italy's game against Romania, I was unable to watch it, and therefore I didn't write a match report. The match finished 1-1, with Marica scoring against […]

Werder Bremen striker Marko Arnautovic has been the subject of quite a bit of debate over the past few weeks. His arrogant, selfish actions have caused a bit of a stir around his club, and it's possible that some mental supporters took their revenge on the young star. He refused to shake the hand of […]

With no Friday match this week, Saturday is busier than ever.

As the MLS world check their passports and descend upon Toronto, the league's premier and winningest team is searching for its next manager, its third in the past three season (if you include interim Ben Olsen). The team let go of Curt Onalfo toward the end of the season and turned the reigns over to […]

There's been a big fuss in the soccer blogosphere last week and this week about the new name for the Kansas City MLS team, Sporting Kansas City. The vast majority of bloggers hate it but the opposition to it seems to be because it "smells" European rather than anything else. Personally, I like it. It's […]
