It was always going to be tough for Wolfsburg to go to Madrid and hold on to their 2-0 lead with Real Madrid. Especially since Real have been a completely different team at home then they have been away from the friendly confines of the Bernabau. With Madrid down 2-0 they would have to come […]

Tuesday might have been business as usual in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals with both favorites picking up wins, but Wednesday was anything but. The craziness started in Paris where Paris Saint Germain defender David Luiz picked up a yellow card a mere 15 seconds into the match for a rash challenge that some will […]

Well it’s safe to say no one saw this coming. Right from the start PSG were dominating their Champions League quarterfinal tie with Manchester City right up until some shaky defending allowed Kevin de Bruyne to give City the lead against the run of play. Not to be outdone, some even more shaky defending play […]

Kevin de Bruyne may have shocked everyone when he gave Manchester City a 1-0 lead over PSG. The goal came completely against the run of play and no one really thought that lead would hold up for long. In fact it didn’t, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic equalized a mere seconds later. The game would go into […]

If everything went the favorite’s way on Tuesday well then Wednesday seems to be the day of the underdog. No one was giving Manchester City in their first leg match against PSG in Paris, but perhaps that’s exactly where they wanted to be. Kevin de Bruyne returned from injury for Manchester City last weekend and […]

At the end of the day, Tuesday’s Champions League matches pretty much went exactly as we all expected. Both of the favorites progressed with advantages heading into the second leg next week and we’d be forgiven for thinking that more of the same would occur on Wednesday. Especially when it came to the Real Madrid […]

Manchester City were given a big boost this week when Joe Hart returned to training and then back into the team for their Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain. With City’s defensive issues this season, and playing against a team with the attacking talent of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Angel di Maria, and Edison Cavani, City […]

While you were probably watching Liverpool vs. Tottenham on NBC, the best game of the day was taking place on another over-the-air TV network.

Tottenham Hotspur had a golden opportunity to cut Leicester City’s lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League to just two points but would have to go to one of their least favorite places in the England to do so.

At this point it’s safe to assume that Leicester City are going to make the UEFA Champions League next season. They need to pick up just eight points over their last seven games to get it done. Considering they’ve been the most consistent team in the league all year, qualification for the Champions League is […]

One of the most exciting parts of the buildup to any major international tournaments is always the over-hyping of the English national team. Whenever the World Cup or European Championships roll around, the hype around the English team creates sky high expectations, only for the team to woefully under-perform and either crash out of the […]
