It was always going to be tough for Wolfsburg to go to Madrid and hold on to their 2-0 lead with Real Madrid. Especially since Real have been a completely different team at home then they have been away from the friendly confines of the Bernabau. With Madrid down 2-0 they would have to come […]

The SAS combination of Liverpool’s 2013/14 season was the biggest reason the came so near to winning the league. Since then, Liverpool have been incredibly hesitant to play two up top. This is partially due to a lack of options that both Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp have faced. Daniel Sturridge spent most of the […]

Want drama? The Champions League has it in spades for the next couple of days. Can Real Madrid overturn a 2-0 deficit at home against Wolfsburg? Which club will emerge from a 2-2 deadlock between Paris Saint-German and Manchester City? Can Barcelona and Bayern Munich cash in on slender one-goal advantages against Atletico Madrid and […]

The story of Leicester City has been nothing short of remarkable. At this point last year, Leicester City was last in the English Premier League and on the verge of relegation with only a string of results at the end of the season to save them. Because of a sex scandal involving some players on the […]

In the very early minutes of the Arsenal-West Ham match (13:25), while the game was still deadlocked, Manuel Lanzini broke onto a mishit Andy Carroll bicycle kick. After a cool finish past Petr Cech, the linesman flagged Lanzini offside. We can see the goal below. In real time, Lanzini moves so quickly that it does […]

It was never going to be easy to catch Bayern Munich, but Borussia Dortmund has made quite an effort in the second half of the season. They are on pace to set a club record in points, but Sunday’s draw with bitter rival Schalke 04 drops them seven points back of the league leaders. With […]

MLS has made a point of telling their referees to not be afraid to issue red cards for dangerous play such as going studs up and making two footed tackles on other players. This move has caused many to receive red cards that may or may not be deserved but the intent is to take […]

Well, that’s not entirely true. West Ham’s Andy Carroll scored three goals and technically were within eight minutes but separated by halftime. Regardless, it’s an incredible feat that helped West Ham achieve a 3-3 draw against Arsenal. His first, a powerful header off a cross from Aaron Cresswell in the 44th minute put West Ham […]

Real Madrid’s 2-0 loss to Wolfsburg in the first round of the Champions League quarterfinals was the shock result of the round. Everybody expected it to be an easy win for Zidane’s boys. There were plenty of factors that went into the loss. The grueling match against Barcelona didn’t ensure that Real Madrid were going […]

Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 don’t usually need much of an excuse to get fired up for Germany’s biggest derby. However, with the season winding down and both teams in the hunt for crucial points, this weekend’s Revierderby takes on a tremendous amount of significance for both teams. The season’s earlier meeting, a 3-2 victory for […]

Tuesday might have been business as usual in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals with both favorites picking up wins, but Wednesday was anything but. The craziness started in Paris where Paris Saint Germain defender David Luiz picked up a yellow card a mere 15 seconds into the match for a rash challenge that some will […]

Well it’s safe to say no one saw this coming. Right from the start PSG were dominating their Champions League quarterfinal tie with Manchester City right up until some shaky defending allowed Kevin de Bruyne to give City the lead against the run of play. Not to be outdone, some even more shaky defending play […]
