Raheem Sterling has had a bit of a dry spell putting the ball in the back of the net. Sterling hasn’t scored for Liverpool since February 22 when they beat Southampton 2-0. That was eight games and what seemed like an eternity ago. Sterling’s “will he or won’t he sign a new Liverpool contract” has […]

The Manchester Derby started with the hope that we were going to get a game featuring two top teams who don’t like each other in a battle for 3rd place. The Manchester Derby ended in such a way that would make George R. R. Martin think was too brutal for someone to endure. When it […]

I know, I know, both teams obviously need to win this game. If nothing else, both teams want to win so they don’t see the other team win. But alas, one of these teams needs to win this latest version of the Manchester Derby more over the other and that’s what this is for. For […]

Tim Sherwood has been vocal at just about everything so it’s no shock that in the Tottenham Hotspur/Aston Villa game, the game has been about him. His 59% win ratio is all the rage and he had a point to prove against his former team. After a close contest between the two teams, Sherwood must’ve […]

Plenty of European teams go outside the continent for their preseason summer friendlies. Now it looks like Italy’s Serie A could be the first pro soccer league to have regular season league games in other countries. Napoli’s president Aurelio De Laurentiis revealed the plan on a local radio show in Italy. He revealed that “New […]

It’s Manchester United’s turn to have their kits leaked as their away and third kits were leaked the other day according to Footy Headlines. The home kit hasn’t been leaked yet but I have a feeling it’s going to primarily be red. Anyway, this will mark the beginning of Adidas contract as the kit maker […]

Zlatan Ibrahimovic just made Saint Etienne’s goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier look absolutely foolish with this insane form of trickery in the Coupe de France Semifinals. There really is nothing more that I can do to sell this goal, just marvel at the greatness. Ibrahimovic has been known to score some awesome goals but this may top […]

For our “Oh You Beauty” articles, we typically do a top five but this week was a little different. This week, we had at least five goals that could contend for goal of the season much less goal of the week. So for this week, we’re expanding “Oh You Beauty” to a top 10 because […]

This Tyne-Wear Derby has always been an intense game and this latest edition has been no different. Sunderland needs this win in order to stay above the relegation zone and Newcastle needs this win so they can have bragging rights that they helped send their rival out of the EPL.

It seemed like such a long time ago that people were discussing Liverpool being in the top four at the end of the EPL season. That was before a Liverpool legend went crazy, their best defender got himself suspended and their best goalscorer got a hip injury. Yeah, this is a very different Liverpool and […]

Call it luck, call it skill, call it whatever, Brek Shea just made one of the greatest kick saves from an outfield player that I have ever seen. Shea, along with Donovan Ricketts helped keep Orlando City SC in a 0-0 deadlock with DC United at the Citrus Bowl. Along with his free kick goal […]
