The New York Daily News has a very thorough account of how former FIFA Executive Committee and top CONCACAF member, Chuck Blazer, became an informant for the FBI in order to gain information on possible crimes committed by other high members of FIFA.

I’ll admit it, I’m horrible at making predictions. I’m usually wrong, like everyone else, so I decided that I’m passing the buck and letting FIFA 15 decide. We put both teams on the field, let it go to computer vs. computer and we see what happens. Let’s see if FIFA is as accurate as it […]

The first game of the weekend was Newcastle vs. Liverpool and boy was that painful to watch. There’s nothing too much that was positive to say about the game. Well, Pardew actually got some cheers so there’s that. Two big plays that kind of dictated the game were two fouls on Liverpool players. Both fouls […]

This goal probably should have no words. This was simply a beautiful strike and finish from Oscar. Take in the beauty (unless you’re a QPR fan).

I still vividly remember May 13, 2012. That was the final day of the 2011-12 English Premier League season. A season which featured an EPL battle, a Champions League battle and a Relegation battle all in the same day. I didn’t have a team in any fight so I was free to be a neutral […]

10. Mick McCarthy Do I honestly think Mick McCarthy is the 10th best Man City player ever? No, not even close. I do, however, put him on the list because every time I get a chance to talk about Mick McCarthy, I show this. Oh Mick, look at him. The man just exudes pure, unadulterated […]

Yesterday, Russia revealed the official logo for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Except for the colors, they pretty much went along the trophy route just like the 2014 World Cup. Like with any logo, there’s a lot of unknown symbolism which you can see below. For those asking, basically 18 WC logo is about magic, […]

Clattenburg worked the West Brom/Crystal Palace this past Saturday. The first rule that Clattenburg broke was that he was supposed to travel to […]

Jurgen Klinsmann causes some very divisive arguments among many Americans and media, both in and out of soccer. Some say he’s great and praise him for playing young, unknown talent and others say he’s nothing special and criticize him for throwing legends to the curb. FIFA apparently sided with the Klinsmann supporters because Klinsmann was […]

Roma appointed a new Board of Directors today and out of all the names, two most likely stood out to the general public. One was Mia Hamm. One of the greatest female soccer players of all time and is someone who can provide a different perspective as a former soccer player compared to the business […]

They cap off a tournament in which they didn’t allow […]

During today’s Manchester United/Chelsea game, Cesc Fabregas ran into Phil Dowd and went down. Dowd just shakes him off and went about his business. Maybe Dowd was celebrating the NFL at Wembley.
