It’s been well known that Qatar has been using slave labor to build their country and that includes the stadiums for the 2022 World Cup. Many slaves have died due to the horrific conditions and there seems to be no end in sight. Today, it was reported by The Guardian that North Korea has been […]

Today in Europa League action, Metalist Kharkiv went out to an early 1-0 lead over Legia Warszawa. Legia went on to win 2-1 but Metalist definitely won in style. As you can see there, this was an absolutely divine setup and finish. Just like with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, it’s two great things that go […]

Lionel Messi is already one of the best players in soccer history. One area where he is not known for is heading. With the style Barcelona plays plus his 5 ft. 6 in. frame, I don’t really blame him for not scoring more often with his head. It’s very rare when Messi scores with his […]

Woah, goalfest early on at the Etihad. Manchester City and Moscow must get a result today if they want to have a chance at getting 2nd and advance from the group stage. After an early goal by Moscow, Yaya Toure did what he does his entire career to equalize in the 9th minute.

The title says it all really. Aston Villa have been on a terrible run of form, culminating in the cancellation of their monthly Goal of the Month vote. Their last goal was scored against Liverpool in their 1-0 win at Anfield on the 13th of September. They would go on to lose to Arsenal, Chelsea, […]

Arsene Wenger and that oversized puffy jacket he wears during cold games go together like peanut butter and jelly. Over the years, Wenger has had some issues with his jacket. Like this: Or this: Or this: Or this: Thankfully, the folks at Puma have come up with a solution to Arsene’s zipper troubles. Sounds like […]

5. Oscar vs QPR Your browser does not support iframes. This is simply the best angle to really appreciate how good this goal is. Not only is it an outside of the foot shot, but it had to loop around the keeper at an almost impossible angle. To do that first time is simply incredible. […]

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur — the two teams seem inextricably linked these days despite a lack of a historical rivalry between the two. Both teams made huge sales to the two giants of Spanish soccer, both used the cash to overhaul their teams immediately and both just lost to a Newcastle team that was in […]

On Monday, it is being reported that the airline has followed through on its long-standing threat, and will not renew its sponsorship agreement for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. However, it may not have […]

After Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over QPR this past Saturday, Jose Mourinho took it to Chelsea fans about their lack of enthusiasm saying, “At this moment it’s difficult to play at home because playing here is like playing in an empty stadium.” Chelsea fans have responded by saying that high ticket prices are pricing out younger, […]

The New York Daily News has a very thorough account of how former FIFA Executive Committee and top CONCACAF member, Chuck Blazer, became an informant for the FBI in order to gain information on possible crimes committed by other high members of FIFA. The entire article in the New York Daily News is informative and […]

I’ll admit it, I’m horrible at making predictions. I’m usually wrong, like everyone else, so I decided that I’m passing the buck and letting FIFA 15 decide. We put both teams on the field, let it go to computer vs. computer and we see what happens. Let’s see if FIFA is as accurate as it […]

The first game of the weekend was Newcastle vs. Liverpool and boy was that painful to watch. There’s nothing too much that was positive to say about the game. Well, Pardew actually got some cheers so there’s that. Two big plays that kind of dictated the game were two fouls on Liverpool players. Both fouls […]

This goal probably should have no words. This was simply a beautiful strike and finish from Oscar. Take in the beauty (unless you’re a QPR fan).
