In a rather bizarre twist, FIFA’s executive committee now recommends releasing the Garcia Report, two days after Michael Garcia resigned his position on FIFA’s ethics committee in protest due to FIFA turning down his appeal to release the entire Garcia Report.

I can’t tell if this is genius or insane, but it is most certainly a “bold move.” The post was taken down but someone was there fast enough to get a screenshot. This is Hernan Grana's agent posting his client's highlight video on the MLS Facebook wall. Bold move. pic.twitter.com/3qprp95I5e — Andrew King (@AndrewKingMLS)

It’s one of the […]

I didn’t think either of these goals were going in if they weren’t deflected. I would call them both own goals but the goals go to Ross Barkley and Kevin Mirallas as they become pinball wizards and get the crucial deflections to make it 2-0. What is it with QPR and deflecting goals for Merseyside […]

As if things couldn’t get any worse for Liverpool, Juan Mata makes it 2-0 after a highly controversial play where he was clearly offside. To make matters even worse, Robin van Persie was credited with the assist. So that clearly makes it 100% certain that the assistant referee made a mistake and should’ve called offside. […]

Both teams are struggling, but Manchester United finds a way to still score while Liverpool just weakly puts a […]
