Those who are familiar with the German language have probably heard of the word “Geisterspiele”. It best described the restart to the season in the country’s soccer elite tier (Bundesliga). If you’d want to translate the word to English, you’d use the “ghost game” term. It is a match played in front of empty stands, […]

Hey, UEFA Champions League… didn’t y’all get the memo that we weren’t supposed to be consistently entertained until at least the knockout stage? After a crazy Tuesday, things didn’t let up much on Wednesday either. If you had bet on any of these games on one of the most popular sports betting apps, you could win some […]

The coronavirus pandemic continues, and this means that the wait goes on for a return for sport. One of these is soccer, which remains very badly affected, with the European championships even having to be pushed back a year to 2021. Despite this, it would appear that improvements are now being made and soccer could […]

It only comes around once every four years, but now the World Cup is here you’ll want to drink in every second of the competition. The only problem is that once one match is over, you’ll usually have a bit of a wait on your hands until the next begins. Here are some ideas for […]

We can all agree the English Premier League has become one of the most competitive leagues in the world. The main reason for this is the TV revenues have now become astronomical and all the football clubs in the EPL will be getting huge chunks of revenues derived from BT Sport, Sky Sports, and foreign […]

Two teams struggling for form a bit this winter meet at Anfield Saturday as Liverpool entertains Arsenal (12:30 p.m., ET, NBC). The Gunners are in fourth place at the moment, but the Reds can swap places with them by earning a win. Man in the middle: Robert Madley will be the man in charge of […]

Last weekend, Leicester overcame the sacking of their Premier League-winning manager, Claudio Ranieri, with a decisive 3-1 win over Liverpool. In the match, they seemed to exorcise many of the demons that have plagued them, scoring their first, second and third goals of 2017. Does this bode well for the Premier League defending champs, and is […]

It’s been a wild year for fans of Leicester City. In May, they were the talk of the sports world, winning the Premier League in the face of staggering odds. What a difference a season makes. The Foxes are now battling relegation and their manager, Claudio Ranieri has been shown the door. Many have argued […]

Referees get a lot of verbal abuse from everyone in sports. Players, fans and the media will hammer a referee when they make a bad call and will call them anything and everything under the sun. We’ve all done it and have said “you suck” to a referee who made a bad call that negatively […]

Manchester United won their fifth league cup this afternoon thanks to a Zlatan Ibrahimovic brace. The United striker scored an early free kick and a late winner to give the Red Devils a victory over a talented Southampton side that gave them all they could handle. The Saints played well throughout, but in the end, […]

The history of the Chicago Fire is marked by an early period of success — they won multiple trophies under Bob Bradley in the late 1990’s and the early 2000’s — and a long period of futility in the years following. They haven’t won a trophy since a U.S. Open Cup victory in 2006, and […]

Leicester’s 2016/17 season has not gone according to plan. Their defense of the Premier League title has been bumpy at best, and they now sit a single point above the relegation zone. If they do not turn things around immediately they risk dropping out of the Premier League next year. Much of the blame falls […]

After Arsenal’s humiliating defeat away to Bayern Munich, Alexis Sanchez looked terribly distraught as he has been for a while. The Chilean has been with the North London side since 2014. He hasn’t had the kind of success he was hoping from since coming over from Barcelona. Now with Arsenal on the verge of another […]
