Arsenal are finding the task of taking on Borussia Dortmund on the road not that fun at all. The boys in yellow have dominated most of the first half. So naturally the biggest highlight would come around the Gunners penalty box. While challenging for a header, Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny was touched by a Dortmund […]

FIFA is a corrupt organization? Stop it…you don’t say? The Caribbean being involved in said corruption? Even less shocking. After all, that part of CONCACAF housed the infamous Jack Warner and the rumors of his corrupt dealings are well known in the soccer world. However, the latest move by FIFA shows that perhaps they are […]

1) Jeremy Menez vs. Parma https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=CNRE1ClE13Y#t=10 This goal is just something special.

It’s a magnificent goal, through and through, and thoroughly deserving of this week’s top spot. 2) Alexis Sanchez vs. […]

While there is a place in the game for rough play and ‘gamesmanship’, there is no room in the modern game for some of the play […]

AC Milan won in a thriller against Parma 5-4 and no goal was better than Jeremy Menez’s backheel goal. Menez took advantage of a botched back pass to Parma’s goalkeeper, maneuvered around the keeper and the post to the other end of the goal and finished it off with a backheel goal. Simply stunning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=CNRE1ClE13Y#t=10

It’s been such a crappy week in American sports, especially when it comes to women’s issues, that the world just felt like it had to get in on the action. FIFA and world soccer are no strangers to seriously head-scratching behavior when it comes to the standards of equal rights in 2014. Heck, even the […]
