VIDEO: USMNT catches Bolivia napping on free kick

0 comments by

Michael Bradley knew the situation, so did Alejandro Bedoya and John Brooks. However, no one apparently was aware for the Bolivian national team and the end result was a beautifully executed free kick for the USMNT. As Bradley stood over a live free kick, Bolivia was caught napping and setting up a wall only to […]

Watch: Yannick Carrasco scores for Atletico Madrid and then with young woman in the stands

0 comments by

It was starting to become desperate for Atletico Madrid. Antoine Griezmann missed a penalty early in the second half and Simeone’s side was pushing hard for an equalizer. It was the substitute Yannick Carrasco that answered the call. Carrasco was brought on at the start of the second half to add pace to the Atletico […]

WATCH: Sergio Ramos opens the scoring in the Champions League final

0 comments by

There hasn’t been much action for either side in today’s Champions League final, but Real Madrid has looked the more comfortable side. They have looked especially comfortable and dangerous on their set pieces. It was from such a play that Sergio Ramos scored to give the 10 times winners a 1-0 lead. Real Madrid won […]

Atletico Madrid’s history in the UEFA Champions League Final

0 comments by on 5/27/2016

Atletico Madrid’s history in the Champions League Final isn’t as rich as the team they are going to be facing on Saturday. Real Madrid has been to more finals since 2000 than Atletico Madrid have been to in their club’s history. That history is much more heartbreaking, however. Two finals appearances, one in 1974 and […]

Finally, after a long, hard-fought road to Milan, the Champions League final is here! And like it was in 2014, the European champion will be Spanish and from Madrid, but the question everyone is asking is: will it be Real or Atlético that will hoist the European Cup and will represent UEFA in the 2016 […]

Athletes do so many extraordinary things in their sport that when you or I watch them perform, we can only dream of doing what they can do.

Manchester United’s shameful sacking of Louis van Gaal

0 comments by

Manchester United have finally sacked Louis van Gaal. It is a move that has been coming since 2016 began. With a manager hanging on by a thread for so long, you would think that the sacking would come as a relief. Instead, it has been handled in the worst way possible, showing a level of disrespect […]

Darlington Nagbe scores 90th minute winner as USMNT defeats Ecuador 1-0

0 comments by on 5/25/2016

Tonight’s USA/Ecuador game was the definition of a slow burn. Struggling in the first half, making moves to slowly get better and then have that result in a 90th minute goal to defeat Ecuador 1-0. For a Copa America tune-up, the first half didn’t inspire confidence. In all fairness, manager Jurgen Klinsmann said that he […]

The transfer window hasn’t even opened yet and there has already been some massive transfer sagas.

Is MLS in danger of having its own hooligan problem?

0 comments by on 5/24/2016

Hooliganism was a plague upon English soccer for the better part of three decades, and while forms of the disease persist around the rest of continental Europe and South America, the thought of such a thing happening on United States soil seems preposterous. However, after another round of incidents between fans of NYCFC and New […]

Pros and cons of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Manchester United

0 comments by

As I write this, the only thing we know for sure about Zlatan Ibrahimovic is that he’s played his last match for Paris Saint-German. Despite the fact that he’s 34, teams are lining up for the services of the talented Swedish striker. A few days ago, there were reports that he had overtures from China, […]
