It was always going to be tough for Wolfsburg to go to Madrid and hold on to their 2-0 lead with Real Madrid. Especially since Real have been a completely different team at home then they have been away from the friendly confines of the Bernabau. With Madrid down 2-0 they would have to come […]

Well it’s safe to say no one saw this coming. Right from the start PSG were dominating their Champions League quarterfinal tie with Manchester City right up until some shaky defending allowed Kevin de Bruyne to give City the lead against the run of play. Not to be outdone, some even more shaky defending play […]

Kevin de Bruyne may have shocked everyone when he gave Manchester City a 1-0 lead over PSG. The goal came completely against the run of play and no one really thought that lead would hold up for long. In fact it didn’t, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic equalized a mere seconds later. The game would go into […]

If everything went the favorite’s way on Tuesday well then Wednesday seems to be the day of the underdog. No one was giving Manchester City in their first leg match against PSG in Paris, but perhaps that’s exactly where they wanted to be. Kevin de Bruyne returned from injury for Manchester City last weekend and […]

At the end of the day, Tuesday’s Champions League matches pretty much went exactly as we all expected. Both of the favorites progressed with advantages heading into the second leg next week and we’d be forgiven for thinking that more of the same would occur on Wednesday. Especially when it came to the Real Madrid […]

Manchester City were given a big boost this week when Joe Hart returned to training and then back into the team for their Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain. With City’s defensive issues this season, and playing against a team with the attacking talent of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Angel di Maria, and Edison Cavani, City […]

The first half of El Clasico was a bit disjointed and uncharacteristic of the beauty of La Liga soccer. Play was defensive, highly physical and designed to stop and start to keep anyone from having any momentum. This changed in the second half and specifically in the 56th minute. Gerard Pique shook off his defender […]

Tottenham Hotspur had a golden opportunity to cut Leicester City’s lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League to just two points but would have to go to one of their least favorite places in the England to do so. Anfield. Liverpool have not been kind to Spurs recently, as Spurs last beat them […]

There are some goals that just defy all logic and physics. Dimitri Payet’s 41st minute free kick goal was just that. The amount of curve is just something that is rare to see and looked like it fooled just about everyone. The goal was also big for West Ham as they need to keep getting […]

There’s just something magical about the United States men’s national team and playing at the home of the Columbus Crew. After getting trashed and embarrassed on Friday night in a loss to Guatemala, the message was sent and received. Just about everything looked different for the USMNT at Mapfre Stadium and that included the play […]

There was little doubt that the United States men’s national team needed a win in its return leg against Guatemala in World Cup qualifying. Getting out to an early start was an important part of the equation for the USMNT. Leave it to the legendary poacher, Clint Dempsey, to get the script exactly right too. […]

Liverpool broke out to an early 2-0 lead against Southampton in a fight for both to get closer to the top four. Considering Liverpool played in a physical derby match against Manchester United. The action started when Philippe Coutinho scored from an incredibly deep range to make it 1-0. WATCH: Philippe Coutinho with a gorgeous […]

The first 44 minutes was all Manchester United. Knowing they were down 2-0 on aggregated, they needed to attack and attack fast, knowing a Liverpool goal counts double due to away goals. After some great chances, Man United were rewarded when Nathaniel Clyne took down Anthony Martial in the box. Martial made it look seamless […]

In a must-win game (well they’re all must-wins at this point), Leicester City grabbed the lead over 19th place Newcastle United via a couple fortunate deflections and headers culminating with a Shinji Okazaki bicycle kick. A big game because of title implications as well as Rafa Benitez making his managerial debut with Newcastle, the goal […]

I’m sure in between now and the end of the MLS season, we will probably say multiple times should be MLS Goal of the Year. Until then, this Quincy Amarikwa strike is the early favorite for the award. OH. MY. GOD!
