0 comments by on 1/20/2015

Liverpool drew 1-1 with Chelsea at Anfield in the first leg of its Capital One Cup semifinal tie, and considering the Barclay’s Premier League form of both of these teams that may be considered a victory.

The richest tournament in world soccer has completed the group stage, and boy was it full of entertainment.

0 comments by on 11/15/2014

Irony and international soccer seem to be a match made in heaven these days.
