Naismith 3, Chelsea 1 — that’s about all you need to know to understand the dire straights of Chelsea football club these days. Following the international break, it appears that it will be more of the same for Jose Mourinho’s side, as Steven Naismith scored a perfect hat-trick (right foot, head, left foot) for Everton […]

There’s no doubt that the United States men’s national team is taking the Oct. 10 meeting with Mexico for the “CONCACAF Cup” (aka the right to represent the region in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup). However, so are the opposition side…at least on TV. One Mexican TV station is promoting the game by using the […]

Is it time for Jurgen Klinsmann to blow up the backline of the USMNT?

0 comments by

It’s no secret that the United States men’s national team has struggled along the backline for some time now. No position gave away the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup than what took place at center back in July, and the problems have only extended since then. The reality is, something needs to change in order for […]

Did anyone really think the United States men’s national team would take out Brazil in Foxborough, Mass. on Tuesday night? While expectations for a win were low, expectations of being at least competitive were high. Instead, the USMNT were flat out the gate and horrendous in defense in the second half, en route to being […]

Oh, Jozy Altidore… There may not be a more maddening player pulling on the United States kit these days, and we were reminded of that in the USMNT’s 2-1 win over Peru on Friday night. Actually, the scoreline should read more like, Altidore 2, Peru 0. However, a bad series of decisions and some real bad […]

USMNT’s future begins to take shape as pair of friendlies approach

0 comments by

Don’t let anyone tell you that all friendlies are meaningless. That’s especially not the case for the United States men’s national team and it’s hope of competing at the heights of the international soccer world. It also is do-or-die time for manager Jurgen Klinsmann and his future with the national side. Klinsmann’s side will take […]

First things first, STOP SENDING ME YOUR CANDY CRUSH INVITES! If I haven’t played the game by 2015 I’m not going to. That said, it’s hard to ignore the fact that the game revolutionized what social and mobile gaming could truly be. It also made the man behind it, Mel Morris, a very famous and […]

0 comments by on 9/1/2015

Real Madrid’s long pursuit over Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea ended up as a futile effort, having the deal fall through at the very end of the transfer window on the European continent.

Wolfsburg need to end distraction of Kevin de Bruyne’s transfer saga

0 comments by on 8/23/2015

Trying to wrestle a Bundesliga title away from the giants of Bayern Munich is a hard enough task when you are a really good side, but its a nearly impossible task when you’re a distracted side. One needs to only look at what’s happening to preseason Bundesliga title contenders, Wolfsburg, for proof of that. With […]

Jürgen Klopp was about as beloved as any soccer manager could possibly be. It’s safe to say he had near cult-like status amongst the Borussia Dortmund faithful. However, his final season was less than stellar and many wondered if not only Klopp’s best days, but Dortmund’s were behind them. Die Schwarzgelben didn’t take long to […]

For 83 minutes Coutinho and the lads from Liverpool went to Stoke and couldn’t find a real sniff of the goal. It took just one moment of brilliance for that to all change though, as Coutinho took a small chance and turned it in to a game winner. What a game winner too…as Coutinho likely […]

Petr Cech’s flop shows Arsenal may have chosen wrong goalkeeper

0 comments by

We’ve all heard a coach say, “we’re just one player away.” It’s a reference to making just one change at one spot to help a team reach the next level. After winning the FA Cup and making it to the Champions League places, Arsenal found itself wanting to upgrade the goalkeeper position. In came Chelsea […]
