Stop me if you’ve heard this before. The England national team dominates opponents during qualifying for a major tournament, gets a lot of hype prior to the tournament only to crash out in hilarious fashion. Of course you’ve heard it before because it’s happened every two years (except in 2008 when they didn’t even make […]

The first leg of the 2016 MLS Eastern Conference confirmed that the Montreal Impact and Toronto FC combine to form one of the best rivalries in the league.

Why is Jose Mourinho so afraid of making a big move

0 comments by

When Manchester United signed Jose Mourinho to be their manager, they thought they were signing a manager who was tactically sharp and ruthless. Someone who would do whatever it takes to win even if that included dropping a club legend from the starting XI or keeping a £26 million signing pinned to the bench. They […]

Like most Americans, I didn’t grow up with soccer but rather it was something I discovered later on in life. Sure I played it as a kid but I didn’t really enjoy watching it. Then one day when I was 13 years old I heard that the goalkeeper of my local MLS team, Tim Howard […]

0 comments by on 11/28/2016

After only thirteen games, a large gap is beginning to grow between the top four and the rest of the league. Presently, Arsenal and Tottenham, 4th and 5th respectively, are separated by four points. This gives the top four at the very least a four point cushion, which is surprising. Tottenham have been a pretty […]

Bob Bradley hasn’t gotten off to a great start as manager of Swansea City. Today was no different as his side went 1-0 down to a struggling Crystal Palace side.

This past weekend, Liverpool dominated Southampton. With 65% of the possession and 15 total shots, Liverpool pressed against Southampton in a way that lead former Bayern Munich midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg to declare that Liverpool was the best he has ever faced. And yet, despite all of that, the score ended 0-0 and the two teams […]

0 comments by

There’s no question that U.S. Soccer’s firing of Jurgen Klinsmann was justified. Even the staunchest Klinsmann supporter will admit that (and believe me, I very well might be the staunchest Jurgen supporter out there).
