With the uncertainty of Financial Fair Play looming over so many, European teams are looking at new ways to maximize their cash flow and avoid FFP sanctions. On Friday, AC Milan confirmed that they have been meeting with Manchester United to schedule a friendly somewhere in the Middle East this winter. In a way, this […]

I still vividly remember May 13, 2012. That was the final day of the 2011-12 English Premier League season. A season which featured an EPL battle, a Champions League battle and a Relegation battle all in the same day. I didn’t have a team in any fight so I was free to be a neutral […]

In the Premier League, three points are worth their weight in gold. That’s not hyperbolic, millions of dollars (or pounds sterling if you want to be like that) are at stake every game. Such is the nature of such a closely contested league. Even midtable teams get more money for placing one league standing higher, […]

10. Mick McCarthy Do I honestly think Mick McCarthy is the 10th best Man City player ever? No, not even close. I do, however, put him on the list because every time I get a chance to talk about Mick McCarthy, I show this. Oh Mick, look at him. The man just exudes pure, unadulterated […]

Manchester United has had so many great players over the years. From their talented squads of the 60’s and 70’s to their all -winning sides of the 90’s and 2000’s. For the upcoming Mancehster derby, we’re looking at a few of these players. As with the Barcelona and Real Madrid lists, we’re not including any […]

Yesterday, Russia revealed the official logo for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Except for the colors, they pretty much went along the trophy route just like the 2014 World Cup. Like with any logo, there’s a lot of unknown symbolism which you can see below. For those asking, basically 18 WC logo is about magic, […]

Jurgen Klinsmann causes some very divisive arguments among many Americans and media, both in and out of soccer. Some say he’s great and praise him for playing young, unknown talent and others say he’s nothing special and criticize him for throwing legends to the curb. FIFA apparently sided with the Klinsmann supporters because Klinsmann was […]

Roma appointed a new Board of Directors today and out of all the names, two most likely stood out to the general public. One was Mia Hamm. One of the greatest female soccer players of all time and is someone who can provide a different perspective as a former soccer player compared to the business […]

1. Muhamed Keita vs. Gornik Leczna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLmAY-C1k1A#t=10 This is really a wonder strike. The precision required on that hit was nothing short of world class. This is a goal that Keita will remember for the rest of his career. 2. Manuel Fernandes vs. Spartak You can accuse Spartak of slack defending here, but that shouldn’t […]

In what seemed like an letdown after already advancing to the Women’s World Cup in the semis, the US Women’s National Team put the cherry on top of their CONCACAF sundae by defeating Costa Rica 6-0 in Philadelphia Sunday to win the CONCACAF Women’s Championship. They cap off a tournament in which they didn’t allow […]

During today’s Manchester United/Chelsea game, Cesc Fabregas ran into Phil Dowd and went down. Dowd just shakes him off and went about his business. Maybe Dowd was celebrating the NFL at Wembley.

Real Madrid took the lead 3-1 on a beautifully team oriented goal that started off of a rare Barcelona mistake. Isco intercepted the ball and miraculously kept it in at the halfway line. He passed it up to Cristiano Ronaldo, who passed it across the box to James Rodriguez after Karim Benzema let it go […]

Today in EPL action, we saw two big upsets as two small teams got results against the big teams. West Ham defeated Manchester City and Hull drew Liverpool at Anfield. While this should be seen as a big deal, should we really be all that shocked? We have seen more results like this and many […]
