FIFA released their updated FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking and it doesn’t look good for the United States. While the FIFA ranking isn’t the most accurate portrayal of how a team is doing right now, it is chronicling the USMNT as they’re slipping with their recent performances. The USMNT drops four spots to 31st this month. One […]

An interesting development emerged before the end of the Chelsea/Everton game. As Gareth Barry got his red card late in the game, there was a scuffle between Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic and James McCarthy. Ivanovic does get close to McCarthy and it appeared as if he was going to butt heads with McCarthy. Some are pointing […]

Chelsea was dominant against Everton today and lead in almost every stat. The only stat they weren’t winning in was the stat that mattered. Thankfully, due to a Gareth Barry red card, Chelsea struck on the ensuing free kick in the 89th minute. After a deflection and some fortunate position, Chelsea got the game winner […]

Oh how disheartening for Manchester City fans. Right before halftime, Sergio Aguero is all alone at the goal, Man City had an opportunity to take the 2-1 lead at the Brittania Stadium to give them a better chance to be the first time in the EPL era and it all went away because of a […]

In just 12 minutes, we have seen two goals between Manchester United and Burnley. The first was on United’s Chris Smalling’s first touch off a corner after Phil Jones had to leave the game with an injury after five minutes. The next goal was a Danny Ings special. Ings’ diving header was a thing of […]

Before Wednesday’s game against Burnley, Manchester United is sitting 5th in the EPL table and just a single point away from 3rd. They have only lost once since the November 2 Manchester Derby and all anyone can talk about is how they are getting those points. After Sunday’s 1-1 draw against West Ham, Hammers manager […]

5. Daley Blind vs West Ham United This late goal saved a vital point for Manchester United and it required a great follow up and a wonderful volley from Daley Blind. 4. Leo Messi vs Athletic Bilbao This free kick goal from Messi shows just why he is considered the best player in the world. […]

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most popular and well-known soccer players in the world. Many people would kill to be within a few feet and witness Ronaldo in action. This just goes to prove that you can’t win everyone over. The kids who line the field to give soccer balls to players for throw […]

It may be January and the World Cup may be three and a half years away but the USMNT is under pressure. They are under pressure to score and succeed and to turn around the mindset that they are unfit and give up goals late. While this doesn’t do anything to quiet down the “giving […]

The USWNT has been struggling today and it hasn’t looked good. The 2nd ranked team, the US Women’s National Team, went to play against France, the 3rd ranked team in the world and the USWNT didn’t play well against a top team once again. Ironically, the one position that the USWNT was worried about was […]

WOW! Daley Blind, what a goal that was. When it looked like West Ham was going to get the three points, Manchester United does it again in “squeaky bum time.” Blind grabs the goal, United gets the draw and United remains in 4th place by a point over Tottenham.

Cheikhou Kouyate showed some cool skills in the box when he scored this terrific goal against Manchester United. He juggles the ball as if he was on the training ground before turning and scoring. Will Big Sam get another kiss from Russell Brand after the game?

I’m not going to lie, seeing Burnley vs. West Brom and Newcastle vs. Stoke on the schedule at 7 AM and 9 AM respectively, it was a tough ask to get me out of bed early on a Sunday morning to see these games. If you got up at 7 AM or 4 AM on […]
