The first 44 minutes was all Manchester United. Knowing they were down 2-0 on aggregated, they needed to attack and attack fast, knowing a Liverpool goal counts double due to away goals. After some great chances, Man United were rewarded when Nathaniel Clyne took down Anthony Martial in the box. Martial made it look seamless […]

Just as Juventus seemed to get the shock win and advance to the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, Bayern Munich came roaring back late. Bayern scored twice in the final 20 minutes of regular time, including one in the 91st minute to take the game to extra time. Both goals were a masterclass in passing and […]

This certainly wasn’t expected. Tied 2-2 and needing to score a goal to potentially advance, Juventus went to Germany looking for a lot against the German champs. It’s nothing like Arsenal having to try and come back against Barcelona, but it would still be tough. Nobody apparently told Juventus this as they went to Allianz […]

In a must-win game (well they’re all must-wins at this point), Leicester City grabbed the lead over 19th place Newcastle United via a couple fortunate deflections and headers culminating with a Shinji Okazaki bicycle kick. A big game because of title implications as well as Rafa Benitez making his managerial debut with Newcastle, the goal […]

New and unlikely faces in the FA Cup semis can spark new life in the tournament

As we fill out our NCAA brackets this week, we must thank our lucky stars we don’t fill out a bracket for the FA Cup because I don’t think anybody could have predicted this semifinal. Crystal Palace, Everton and Watford all punched their tickets to Wembley Stadium for the semifinal. Manchester United and West Ham […]

I’m sure in between now and the end of the MLS season, we will probably say multiple times should be MLS Goal of the Year. Until then, this Quincy Amarikwa strike is the early favorite for the award. OH. MY. GOD!

Steve McLaren sacked at Newcastle, Rafa Benitez taking over: Why?

0 comments by on 3/11/2016

The inevitable has happened, Newcastle United has finally sacked Steve McLaren after a rather disappointing 7-6-18 record and a current 19th place showing in the English Premier League table. The big news isn’t about McLaren being sacked, we’ve expected that for a while and probably should have happened earlier. It’s more about who is likely coming […]

Anfield was rocking when Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino scored to make it 2-0 for Liverpool over Manchester United. After a great (but appearingly offside run) by Jordan Henderson, he crossed it into the box. When Michael Carrick made a heavy touch, the ball fell to Adam Lallana who was able to send it to an open […]

In the first ever European matchup between Liverpool and Manchester United, it was Liverpool who got on the board first. Defending against Nathaniel Clyne, Memphis clipped Clyne’s heel as he was going in on goal and went down. It was incredibly close whether or not it was in the box or not (the line counts […]

MLS’ opening weekend proved once again the only predictable part of MLS is the unpredictability

0 comments by on 3/7/2016

It doesn’t matter how much or how little you know about MLS, nobody would be able to make a living by solely correctly predicting what will happen in MLS. While frustrating at times, that unpredictability and parity is MLS’ charm. This first weekend of the 21st MLS was no different in that we got the […]
