What’s next for Joe Hart?

0 comments by on 8/23/2016

It hasn’t been a great summer for Joe Hart. His mistake against Iceland was part of the reason England crashed out of the European championships, and now it seems he’s fallen out of favor with his new manager, Pep Guardiola. He hasn’t played for Manchester City this season, instead sitting on the bench behind Willy […]

0 comments by on 8/22/2016

It may not seem like this but the Seattle Sounders have greatly improved and are arguably on their best form in years. And them peaking at the right time, could give them the one trophy they have been striving for since entering MLS in 2009, the MLS Cup. If you haven’t been following the Sounders, […]

What’s next for Brazil, and how far can Neymar take them?

0 comments by

It couldn’t have been more perfect, having Neymar take the final penalty that would win Brazil their first gold medal in Olympic history. The man whom so much is asked by his country was the one to deliver for them. The match against Germany on Saturday became a nationwide therapy session when Neymar sent Timo Horn […]

Premier League recap: Burnley shocks Liverpool, as Arsenal and Leicester remain goalless

0 comments by on 8/20/2016

After last week’s win at Arsenal, Liverpool went back on the road in search of three more Premier League points Saturday against newly promoted Burnley. What the Reds found instead was frustration. Despite having 80 percent of the possession and firing 26 shots, Liverpool fell to a pair of well-taken goals from Sam Vokes and […]

Usual suspects take aim at La Liga crown

0 comments by

The Spanish first division cranks up this weekend, and that leads me to the safest prediction in world soccer: Barcelona, Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid will win the title. It’s not exactly a gamble to pick one of those teams, since one has to go all the way back to Valencia’s title run in 2003 […]

Manchester United downs Southampton, 2-0

0 comments by on 8/19/2016

It’s hard to imagine a more successful start to the unlikely union of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jose Mourinho at Manchester United. Ibrahimovic, the mercurial Swedish striker, scored a pair of first-half goals to power Mourinho’s Red Devils to their third win in as many tries on the young season — a 2-0 victory over Southampton […]

Is it time for Liverpool to give up on Moreno?

0 comments by on 8/18/2016

Life as a soccer player is never tough, especially when you have a bad game. And, boy, did Alberto Moreno have a bad game against Arsenal. At fault for giving away a horribly unnecessary penalty, at fault for the first goal, and lacking his usual attacking outlet, Moreno showed just why many Liverpool want him […]

Arsenal fan puts Riyad Mahrez Arsenal kit up for sale after Mahrez re-signs with Leicester

0 comments by

The transfer window can be a wonderful time of optimism for fans. The thought of your team signing that one final piece to complete your team and go for a championship is tough to put out of your mind if said move hasn’t happened yet. When it comes to Arsenal, they seem to be linked […]

Sweden tries to surprise, Brazil tries for home glory and Germany tries for double gold in Olympic soccer

0 comments by

Germany has never won a gold medal in Olympic soccer, though the East German men won in 1976. In 2016, both the men and women’s teams have a chance to do something no country has ever done, win double gold. Simply getting to this stage is unprecedented for either side, as Germany hasn’t done better […]

What happened to Leicester against Hull?

0 comments by on 8/17/2016

So Leicester have become only the second team in over 30 years to begin their defense of the First Division (in this case the Premier League) title with a loss. Not the best start to sequal of the fairytale season they had last year. It is especially concerning when you consider that the team that beat […]

If you have a friend who is a Manchester United fan, then by now they’ve certainly made sure you’re aware that the Red Devils defeated Bournemouth on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. It only took one game for Jose Mourinho to get Manchester United fans back on their high horses. It may […]

Matchday one of the Premier League season is in the books, and like the dramatic theater it is, we already have plenty of storylines to keep us busy for the next nine months. Some clubs covered themselves in glory while others would have liked to have been swallowed up by the pitch. There were winners […]

Where do the USWNT go after losing to Sweden in the Olympics?

0 comments by on 8/15/2016

Now that it’s been an entire weekend since the USWNT were eliminated by Sweden in the Rio Olympics Quarterfinal, it’s finally a time to have a rational look at the team to determine why they lost and where they go from here and if we learned some things on the way. While it seemed like everybody […]

Everton fans congratulate wrong ‘Ashley Williams’ on Twitter

0 comments by on 8/14/2016

When people go on Twitter and hit the “@” key, sometimes they don’t necessarily contact the person or organization they are intending to contact. Most of the time, this is a problem when people tweet at celebrities and sports teams and wind up getting someone else. That’s exactly what happened to Ashley Williams. Last week, Welsh […]
