Real Madrid took the lead 3-1 on a beautifully team oriented goal that started off of a rare Barcelona mistake. Isco intercepted the ball and miraculously kept it in at the halfway line. He passed it up to Cristiano Ronaldo, who passed it across the box to James Rodriguez after Karim Benzema let it go […]

Today in EPL action, we saw two big upsets as two small teams got results against the big teams. West Ham defeated Manchester City and Hull drew Liverpool at Anfield. While this should be seen as a big deal, should we really be all that shocked? We have seen more results like this and many […]

Barcelona kicked El Clasico off with a rocking start with a stunning cross from Luis Suarez to Neymar. Neymar does what Neymar does and drills it home from top of the box to make it 1-0. Real Madrid equalized with a Ronaldo PK. Guaranteed that the scoring isn’t over.

We started the weekend with West Ham getting a decisive 2-1 win over the defending champs, Manchester City. West Ham now sees itself in 4th in the table. A jubilant Russell Brand finds Sam Allardyce and shows his appreciation for the manager. I don’t know if they can stay near the top of the table […]

Look, 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 […]

Wow, this was tough to limit this to 10 players. I originally had 15 and it was tough to take 5 of those players off because they all deserved to be on the list. Just like with the Real Madrid article, you will not see any current Barcelona players on the list. So that means […]

As I was researching what to include in the top 10 greatest El Clasico’s, I realized that there are way too many worthy games to put on this list. I’m sure I have left off some your favorites so I’m sorry in advance. I wanted to mix in history, great individual performances and great games […]

While there weren’t as many goals as yesterday, we had some excitement in the closing moments of a few of the games. Matchday three is finished for everyone and we are at the halfway point of the group stage. Everyone has played each other once and has a feel of what they need to do […]

This Saturday at noon, the first El Clasico of the year takes place at the Bernabeu. The two big teams in La Liga face off in the first of two minimum matches. These games have typically been classic games filled with high scoring and hopefully we don’t see anything different this weekend. Here’s what you […]

Harold Mayne-Nicholls has a plan to combat the heat of Qatar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. His plan is to stage all of the games at night to avoid the sunlight. This requires having games late into the night in order to fit the current group game schedule. In a report from BBC Sport, […]

WWOOOO what a goal by Sessegnon! It even made Martin Tyler speechless for a second or two. Stunning stuff to give West Brom the lead against Man United early on.

There’s a piano on the field and Boys II Men even performed the national anthem before the LA Galaxy/Seattle Sounders game tonight. Landon Donovan is a legend and all but isn’t this getting a bit overboard?

1) Xabi Alonso vs. Werder Bremen Probably 95% of free kick goals are a result of someone shooting the ball over the wall and into the goal. This free kick defied logic and Xabi Alonso decided to go under the wall to trick everyone and get the goal. Bayern Munich went on to defeat Werder […]

Two red cards in the span of three minutes occurred close to the end of the half during the Crystal Palace/Chelsea game. The first, Cesar Azpilicueta goes studs up to the ankle and earns a straight red card. Then, three minutes later, Damien Delaney impedes Loic Remy’s progress to earn his second yellow and made […]

After a rather inauspicious win against Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday, the United States has a chance to virtually advance to the knockout round tonight against Guatemala in Chicago. The United States and Haiti are tied with three points and Trinidad and Tobago and Guatemala have zero in Group A. In what was supposed to […]
