Chelsea is trying for their 12th straight win today, which would be a feat that only the “Invincibles” of Arsenal have ever seen. Playing Bournemouth, Chelsea is already well on their way to get that 12th in a row to potentially extend their Premier League lead. After this goal, we'd vote for Pedro.

It has not been an easy start to life in the Premier League for American manager Bob Bradley. Bradley took over Swansea City during the international break at the start of October, but heading in to Thanksgiving weekend, he was still searching for his first Premier League win. This weekend provided Bradley with a good […]

Once again it was an ugly first half for the USMNT. When you go into Costa Rica you know the conditions aren’t going to be great, and though this isn’t the old Saprissa Stadium, the field conditions left a lot to be desired. Players were slipping left and right in the first half for the […]

Out of all the great action in the Champions League, the best came at the end of the Ludogorets/Arsenal game. After setting up Arsenal’s first goal, Mesut Ozil’s greatest masterpiece was an 88th minute strike that took a possible upset away from the Bulgarian champs and sealed Arsenal’s place in the Champions League Knockout Stage. […]

Christian Pulisic has received many superlatives from just about everyone in the United States, in Germany and in other places in the world. The 18-year-old American has vaulted himself into becoming more and more of a special player every day. This was evident today against Ingolstadt as Dortmund was behind 3-2. As the free kick […]

Against Ludogorets, Arsenal was regarded as heavy favorites at the Emirates. And as predicted, Arsenal wasted no time to get the domination started against their Bulgarian opponents. In the 12th minute, Alexis Sanchez got behind the Ludogorets back line and found himself open and in on goal. After a couple moves to try and find […]

Call it the yips, call it a problem, call it whatever you like but Manchester City are struggling from the penalty spot this season. There’s a big mental aspect when it comes to taking penalties and when you lose even the slightest bit of confidence in yourself you’re already coming in at a disadvantage. Coming […]

There are few things better then when a team starts clicking all over the field. The team plays well, goals are scored in bunches, points are accumulated, and everyone seems to be happy. Even when things get tough, when a team is in a run of good form they seem to always catch a break […]

The Premier League’s match of the weekend saw first place Manchester City visit second place Tottenham. From the moment the match kicked off the home side began brining the pressure towards Manchester City. Right from the get-go Spurs were knocking on Manchester City’s door and it seemed like it would only be a matter of […]

In theory, Stoke City should have walked out of Old Trafford having lost 4-0. Manchester United entered the match having scored four goals against the champions Leicester City and Stoke have been among the worst teams in the league. But things never seem to work out like that. On-loan goalkeeper Lee Grant played the game […]

After Swansea scored off an early corner kick, Liverpool seemed to struggle in the first half. The team who couldn’t stop scoring goals in recent weeks suddenly took on their performance that earned them their only loss so far this season, a 2-0 loss to Burnley. But a different Liverpool team showed up in the […]

Despite Borussia Dortmund being in control for the first 17 minutes, it was Real Madrid who scored first. After what seemed to be a clear handball that wasn’t called, Cristiano Ronaldo fired a fast shot toward the far post to give Real the lead. All better!

A free kick that’s kicked on the ground is very rare. Like a panenka on a penalty kick, it looks beautiful when it’s done right and looks horrific if it doesn’t. For Manchester City, his choice of shooting underneath the Bournemouth wall worked. And as the players jumped, the ball trickled into the back of […]

If you thought Dejan Lovren scored the goal of the match, Jordan Henderson has got the goal of the early season. After a poor Chelsea clearance off a Liverpool throw in, the ball fell to the Liverpool captain and from about 25 yards out, drilled one of the most perfect shots you’re going to be […]
