It’s time to celebrate
Goal celebrations: PSP’s Ryan Pine rains on the parade of those raining on the parade.
Soccer and the Christmas Truce of 1914
The power of soccer is such that it has helped to start wars. It has also given vent to the emotions of wars long over. And it has stopped wars, if only for a day.
Manchester United puts frustrations aside to punish Newcastle
A breakdown of Manchester United’s game against Newcastle.
Watch real football, part 2
Aston Villa v. West Ham United – Saturday 10am, FSC
The Preview you need before you view!
Preseason football sucks, watch real football instead pt. 1
The EPL returns on Saturday and Adam Cann is previewing this weekend’s televised matches, beginning with Tottenham v Manchester City!
Free Landon Donovan!
We knew in December that MLS had to let Landon Donovan go abroad, and it’s only clearer now. It’s best for him, MLS and American soccer as a whole. Here’s why.
Europa Cup final today: Everything you need to know and why you should care
What makes this a great final is how well the two teams embody their home country’s styles of play. American Clint Dempsey’s wondergoal beat Juventus, and Fulham needs him to produce tonight. Because if there’s one word that sums up Atletico Madrid, it’s offense.
Unfathomable irony: EPL spoilers?
The sky’s the limit for Wigan and how Chelsea can once again come up miserably short.
Full Credit to Classy Portsmouth
Already relegated Portsmouth continue to put in decent performances and can not be counted out in the FA Cup Final.
Come on you Royals!
Rants and raves (but mostly rants) about following a 2nd division team. So the cup run is over. With a 4-2 loss at home to Aston Villa on Sunday morning, the Royals were finally eliminated in the FA Cup. And obviously, it would have been a dream to make it to the semi-finals and play [...]
Let's Get Dirty – Nigel De Jong's Kindred Spirits
If you’re a USA fan who isn’t up on the Oranje, Manchester City, or the Hamburgers before that, you might have wondered “who was that objectionable oaf who broke poor Stu’s leg?”, and later on “who is that cowardly s%!$head who blatantly dove for a free kick while under pressure in his own half?” That, [...]
A Sideshow For Chelsea When They Need It Least
Sure, in the lead-up to matches charged with a side-show backdrop, there’s always going to be the reflexive rhetoric about professionalism, such as what Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti recently spilled ahead of his side’s match against Manchester City on Saturday(7:45 a.m. EST). Perhaps the aftermath of John Terry’s purported shagging of the mother of Wayne [...]
Goodbye Plasticity!
The reaction is always the same – “of course you are” or “figures” or “aren’t all Yanks?”. It’s not easy being an American Red Devil. Well, some would argue it’s too easy. Manchester United are arguably the world’s largest soccer team, and, inarguably the de facto European team for American fans. They have won eighteen [...]
Schoolyard Goalkeeping Sinks Arsenal Again
Anyone wondering to what extent goalkeeping can derail an otherwise very good team need only look at Arsenal. The Gunners’ goalkeeping situation reached farcical proportions today after young Polish ‘keeper Lukasz Fabianksi gifted Porto a 2-1 advantage in the first leg of their Champions League tie. Fabianski was filling in for the injured Manuel Almunia, [...]
Woe To Managers Who Forget: Soccer Is A Team Game
Diego Maradona’s famous run against England in 1986 is probably the most famous play in soccer history (closely followed by the Hand of God). It’s a memorable play for many reasons, not the least of which is how it showcases one player’s ability to single-handedly change a game. Maradona’s goal reminds us how rare it [...]
