With WrestleMania coming up this Sunday, it seems that people from outside the WWE are getting ready. Recently, a Brazilian player clotheslined a referee to respond to an apparent non PK call during a game. If you don’t know what a clothesline is, it is a move where one person extends their arm straight out […]

The Championship is the league below the English Premier League and there is a serious battle to see who promotes to the EPL. Right now, the top eight have a realistic shot to promote and we only have eight games left to decide who goes to the top division. This is going to come down […]

FIFA, or the FIFA World Cup Twitter account, tweeted full time scores of CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers from Monday night. This isn’t that big of a deal, it’s a pretty normal thing to report full time scores. What was strange was that whoever was running @FIFAWorldCup, the official FIFA World Cup Twitter account, tweeted full […]

AC Milan were once the darlings of European soccer and considered one of the biggest brands in the Italian game. A ownership change hasn’t fared well though, and it’s resulted in the Red and Black side of the San Siro falling on some hard times. The club is currently sitting eighth in the Serie A […]

Because I feel like depressing myself and everybody else today, current French enemy Zlatan Ibrahimovic took good care of his soccer ball by giving it a first class airplane seat on the flight back to his native Sweden. Ibrahimovic scored his first Ligue 1 hat trick against Lorient and received the ball from the game. […]

Luis Suarez cannot make this goal look any easier. Suarez only had to touch the ball twice in order to get the game leading goal in El Clasico. Both touches were simple, precise, clinical and looked incredibly easy when we all know that it’s far from. Suarez has been playing more of a supporting role […]

El Clasico has had a start, stop, start, stop flow to things. One teams seems to have the advantage at first, then the other team takes over and then back again. Barcelona drew first blood by one of the more unlikely players in the game. Jeremy Mathieu, the center back for Barcelona drove through and […]

Juan Mata could’ve shot this a little more conservatively but then it wouldn’t be posted here. Mata scored his second goal of the day with this overhead kick and made things worse for the Anfield faithful. Your browser does not support iframes.

I think stunned silence was the appropriate way to describe the atmosphere at Anfield as Steven Gerrard was shown a straight red card about 45 seconds after coming on as a substitute for the injured Adam Lallana. Your browser does not support iframes. Everyone including me, those at Anfield and those on TV was stunned […]

Juan Mata has given Manchester United the 1-0 lead, thanks to a terrific Ander Herrera through ball. Mata took advantage of Alberto Moreno being out of position and being onside from the opposite of the field. Herrera found the alley, passed it to Mata and Mata finished the job.

Another day, another confusing referee decision that changed the tone of a game. In this version, West Brom’s Gareth McAuley was sent off for a hard foul against Manchester City’s Wilfried Bony very early in the game. Trouble was that McAuley had nothing to do the play and was sent off for mistaken identity. Craig […]

On Thursday the world’s soccer governing body, FIFA, made the move official with the announcement of the dates for the 2022 World Cup. According to a report by the BBC, […]

Yesterday’s Barcelona/Manchester City Champions League game had some crucial moments. Joe Hart stood on his head and put in a world class performance stuffing some world class opponents. Regardless, no moment was more important than Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s save on Sergio Aguero’s penalty in the 78th minute. The save really sealed Manchester City’s fate and […]
