Ever since playing soccer became something you could do professionally full time, there has been a struggle between representing your club and representing your country in the sport. There are only a few times when this isn’t the case, such as the World Cup every four years or a large international tournament such as the Euros. […]

Last week, we reported on former FIFA official Chuck Blazer informing on FIFA for the FBI. This week, CNN is reporting that the FBI is stepping up its own corruption investigation that could land some FIFA officials in hot water. This runs contrary to FIFA’s own report on Thursday that cleared itself of any corruption in the […]

5. Demba Ba vs Istanbul Basaksehir Now, I’m not going to say this is the fastest or hardest hit goal ever scored. That was scored by Sporting Lisbon’s defender, Ronny, which reached speeds of 131 mph. Look it up, you can barely see it. That being said, this ball was moving at 77 mph, which would […]

The title says it all really. Aston Villa have been on a terrible run of form, culminating in the cancellation of their monthly Goal of the Month vote. Their last goal was scored against Liverpool in their 1-0 win at Anfield on the 13th of September. They would go on to lose to Arsenal, Chelsea, […]

5. Oscar vs QPR Your browser does not support iframes. This is simply the best angle to really appreciate how good this goal is. Not only is it an outside of the foot shot, but it had to loop around the keeper at an almost impossible angle. To do that first time is simply incredible. […]

In the Premier League, three points are worth their weight in gold. That’s not hyperbolic, millions of dollars (or pounds sterling if you want to be like that) are at stake every game. Such is the nature of such a closely contested league. Even midtable teams get more money for placing one league standing higher, […]

Manchester United has had so many great players over the years. From their talented squads of the 60’s and 70’s to their all -winning sides of the 90’s and 2000’s. For the upcoming Mancehster derby, we’re looking at a few of these players. As with the Barcelona and Real Madrid lists, we’re not including any […]

1. Muhamed Keita vs. Gornik Leczna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLmAY-C1k1A#t=10 This is really a wonder strike. The precision required on that hit was nothing short of world class. This is a goal that Keita will remember for the rest of his career. 2. Manuel Fernandes vs. Spartak You can accuse Spartak of slack defending here, but that shouldn’t […]

While a win over your biggest rival is always something that players and fans alike crave all year, El Clasico is a unique derby because it always means something in regards to the league and who will win La Liga in the long run. For Barcelona, a win will place them 7 points above their […]

This list was originally going to be a combination of the best El Clasico players ever. That’s right, we were going to attempt to pick 10 players who have played for either Real Madrid or Barcelona and place them sequentially and claim one of them was the best. Looking back, that would have been impossible […]

Luis Suarez is set to make a sensational return to soccer since the big scandal of this summer’s World Cup landed him a four month ban from all play. Having introduced himself to his new club, Barcelona, in friendly matches, this will be Suarez’s first real competitive match with his new teammates. In what promises […]

In what would appear to be an ever-growing rift between Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, and England manager, Roy Hodgson, the latter has come out after his comments yesterday about Raheem Sterling’s fatigue to question the training methods of Brendan Rodgers. Specifically, the medically recommended two-day recovery period. “We have never had any problems with [Liverpool’s training […]

Old Roy has done it again, hasn’t he? Well, it’s an international soccer break so it would only be following tradition that Roy Hodgson say something that angers a large portion of England supporters, most likely supporters from the North. A little while ago it was playing a still injured Daniel Sturridge in a meaningless […]
