Chelsea spent this January transfer window making a couple moves. Andre Schurrle, who was rarely played under Jose Mourinho’s system, was sold to Wolfsburg for £24 million. They used the money to sign Juan Cuadrado from Fiorentina for £27 million. In a transfer window that had few big moves, they were two of the rare […]

So who won the Super Bowl last night? Well, if you’re the Daily Mail, it was the New England Revolution. New England’s MLS team has apparently switched sports, quite successfully I might add. I have never seen a team go from one sport to another, mid season, only to win the highest honors in the NFL. […]

Demba Ba isn’t the best striker in the world but he seems to score some incredible and zany goals. When he was in the EPL at Newcastle and Chelsea, he seemed to only be able to score the craziest goals imaginable. Today, he may have scored the craziest one yet. Demba Ba apparently scored with […]

Kris Commons is a name that maddens most Celtic fans and the coaching staff. He’s been Mr. inconsistent for most of the past two years, however when the big stage is upon him he apparently shows up in a massive way. On Sunday his Celtic side took on Old Firm rivals Rangers and Commons, who […]

After about 40 minutes of tight play, the scoring got going right before half. Loic Remy finished some great one touch passing all around the field to take the lead and then Manchester City caught Thibaut Courtois off guard as David Silva kept things leveled at 1-1. 45 more minutes left in this one.

You would think that Daniel Sturridge would be a bit rusty after missing five months due to injuries. That didn’t seem to be the case when he stepped back onto the field today. The Liverpool striker was subbed in and did what he does best. Receiving the pass from Coutinho, he buried it into the […]

Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling looked like he was denied a PK near the end of the first half against positional rival West Ham. That, along with the few chances from either team, was making this a deadlocked battle. Then after 51 minutes, things changed and we have a leader. Sterling chested the ball down to Coutinho […]

Tottenham advanced to the Capital One Cup Final a few days ago but you wouldn’t know it seeing them today. They are taking it to West Brom by scoring two wonderful strikes. Now that West Brom has Tony Pulis as manager, the team is even tougher to score against. This is the first EPL game […]

This wasn’t in the script at all. Bayern Munich, the team who mostly comprises of World Cup Champions and has dominated the Bundesliga and Champions League this year, was beaten down by 2nd place Wolfsburg 4-1 today. The game started off with a tribute to Junior Malanda, the 20 year old Belgian defensive midfielder from […]

The January transfer window is seen as both the worst and best time to buy players. There is rarely any good deals to be had, since most teams as loathe to lose their best players midseason. That being said, if you get the right deal or are willing to pay over the odds, it can […]

There are only a few days left in the January transfer window and while things haven’t really spiced up yet, the January window is an important time for a European to finely touch up their roster and get that final piece of the puzzle to put together a run to the end of the season. […]

The Old Firm is back, and for the fans of Celtic and Rangers it’s all they’ve been dreaming about for nearly three years. Such is the nature of the most intense rivalry in sports. What makes this rivalry different? Some will say it’s the religious component, some will say it’s because it means championships and […]

Bob Gansler is a name some people have forgotten and maybe not even known by new US Soccer fans. Gansler was instrumental in starting US Soccer’s renaissance by managing the US Men’s National Team in the 1990 World Cup. The 73 year old US Soccer Hall of Famer suffered a stroke this past weekend and […]
