European soccer is the holy grail of English soccer these days, what with the multi-millions of dollars on the line and the increased exposure of international television as well.

Wayne Rooney gives us all moments of brilliance, only to be followed up b maddening moments of daft as well. Consider Saturday one of his most memorable moments.

It seemed like such a long time ago that people were discussing Liverpool being in the top four at the end of the EPL season. That was before a Liverpool legend went crazy, their best defender got himself suspended and their best goalscorer got a hip injury. Yeah, this is a very different Liverpool and […]

Team Great Britain fielded a soccer team at the 2012 London Olympics for the first time since 1972 in honor of the capital city hosting the games. It was an interesting experiment in the modern era of world soccer, but it was also a messy affair. All but five players came from England, and the […]

A very familiar theme is developing for this version of the United States men’s national team — score first, hunker down…make a mental mistake and give up a road lead in Europe. It happened against Denmark last week to cost the USMNT a chance at victory and the same pattern happened again on Tuesday in […]
