It only comes around once every four years, but now the World Cup is here you’ll want to drink in every second of the competition. The only problem is that once one match is over, you’ll usually have a bit of a wait on your hands until the next begins. Here are some ideas for […]

On December 31 Swansea City was in 20th place. The Welsh club had just lost four on the trot and looked a sure bet to go down. Not two months later the club vaulted themselves up to 15th, four points clear of the drop. Their position is thanks in large part to today’s 2-0 win […]

MLS made a big decision recently to disclose the amounts of allocation money swapped in trades, and Monday’s deal between the Chicago Fire and the New York Red Bulls is one of our first opportunities to use that information to help evaluate the deal. Longtime Red Bulls defensive midfielder Dax McCarty, 29, was traded to […]

Liverpool, Cameroon and FIFA are in a bit of a disagreement and Joel Matip is caught in the middle. As of now, Matip is out due to not playing for Cameroon in the Africa Cup of Nations tournament. FIFA rules state that if a player is called up for an international tournament that’s on the […]

Whether you like it or not, U.S. Soccer and MLS are always linked together, often times as one entity. This of course, is not true. U.S. Soccer is a governing body, they run the national team as well as nearly every league from the youth level on up. MLS is a professional league, sanctioned by […]

When reports came out about FIFA looking to expand the World Cup from 32 to 48 teams, I hated it. 32 teams was the perfect format. It actually made World Cup Qualifying interesting and made structuring the knockout stage simple and not watered down. But when money is prioritized over competition, the writing was on […]

With so many great players in the world, picking a best XI can be exceedingly difficult. Of course, players like Ronaldo and Messi will feature in just about everyone’s team. The problem is with so many great players, there are bound to be a few that get overlooked. Those players who might be underrated, but […]

In 1995, that changed to include all players playing for European clubs and in 2007, all players around the world were included.

Chuck Blazer, like many informants, has left a very complicated legacy. On one hand, him being an informant for the FBI to incriminate dozens of FIFA officials for bribery and corruption, leading to the FIFA scandal. On the other hand, he himself committed that same bribery and corruption and that was why the Feds sought […]
