It was a slow start to Champions League action today but things really spiced up. In what was described as two of the easier games to predict, there were upsets aplenty today as the underdogs handedly defeated their opponents. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to quietly delete my preview article because today did […]

Many people, including me, have put Arsenal as the favorites to defeat Monaco and advance in the UEFA Champions League. Geoffrey Kondogbia is here to remind us of the unexpected that takes place in soccer. Kondogbia ripped this stunning goal late in the first half. The ball deflected off Per Mertesacker but that didn’t take […]

Being a member of a supporters group is supposed to be an organic and fun experience, it is not supposed to feel like you’re applying for a second job or trying to get into a country club. One such supporters group has gone for the latter and is trying to suck the fun out of […]

Day three of four of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 is complete and today’s results were rather predictable. Both Barcelona and Juventus won in convincing fashion 2-1 and hold a commanding lead going into the second leg. Manchester City 1-2 Barcelona Luis Suarez almost single handedly sunk Manchester City’s hopes of advancing in […]

Luis Suarez h ahavinglhadible game against Manchester City today. After only 30 minutes, he scored two goals against the team that beat his former team, Liverpool, to the Premier League title last season. Looks like Luis is getting a little revenge? He certainly doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. Suarez’s first goal in […]

It’s been a wild game between Dortmund and Juventus so far. Both teams have conceded goals from some heinous errors. The game currently stands at 2-1 Juventus after goals from Carlos Tevez, Marco Reus, and Alvaro Morata. Some terrible defending and goalkeeping lead to Carlos Tevez’s opener in 12th minute. Only five minutes later, though, […]

Someone by the name of “fartsyrup” combined two things that I absolutely love, MLS and Monopoly. From the properties to the “Blind Draw” (Chance) and Commissioner’s Chest (Community Chest) cards, this is perfect. All of the teams, except for contracted MLS teams like the Miami Fusion, Tampa Bay Mutiny and Chivas USA, are represented in […]

As it was reported by Grant Wahl last week, FIFA is officially proposing to have the 2022 FIFA World Cup in winter. I honestly don’t know what FIFA means by “proposing” to put the World Cup in winter. It’s not like they need approval by someone else. Yeah, they have “support” by all six confederations […]

Now Gutierrez says on Twitter that he is fit and healthy to play for the first team. Healthy and ready now is a […]

5. Marwin Hitz vs Leverkusen A goalie goal is a rare and beautiful thing. Like a unicorn or a unhate-able Kardashian. In this case, Marwin Hitz the ball (sorry, that pun needed to happen) to level the game in the dying minutes. 4. Badetimbi Gomis (via Jonjo Shelvey) vs Manchester United https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqNJTllY8fg This goal might […]

Here’s what we know. Bob Bradley is manager of Norwegian team Stabaek. Stabaek is currently in the United States because the Norwegian Tippeligaen league is starting up as well and they’re participating in preseason friendlies, like in MLS. Here’s what we didn’t know. Bob Bradley has his own web show called “Bob’s Corner” and he […]

WOW! Just WOW! Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho stunned EVERYONE with this strike within the first few minutes of a very important game between Southampton and Liverpool. After a couple Southampton penalty calls that they felt were needed, Coutinho took advantage and rocketed this ball from about 30 yards out. This goal is so good that it […]
