Who is to blame for Manchester City’s form?

It is pretty clear that for a team we all expected to be challenging for the title this season, Manchester City’s campaign has been incredibly underwhelming. With only a game left in the season, they sit fifteen points off of the top of the table and only two points ahead of 5th (having played a game […]

How are teams going to approach the transfer market this summer?

As the European domestic season starts drawing to a close and the summer months are approaching, it’s only natural that along with the weather, the transfer rumors are heating up as well. With ‘big’ clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United not only all underachieving this season, but also undergoing managerial changes, or rumors […]

Gareth Bale gives Real Madrid the lead with a great tight angle goal

Real Madrid took a big step towards the Champions League Final with a first half goal from Gareth Bale against Manchester City.

Ranking the top mini dynasties of the Premier League era

With the advent of the Premier League in 1992 came the age of dynasties in English soccer. With the exception of Blackburn Rovers, and a T.B.D on Leicester City this year, nearly every team that’s won the Premier League has brought in more than a few trophies over a few year period. For the sake […]

Manchester City and Real Madrid play out lifeless draw in Champions League semifinal first leg

You’d be forgiven if you thought you were watching the red half of Manchester on Tuesday night. After all, there was plenty of attacking talent on the field, but there certainly weren’t any goals, or even the threat of any as neither Real Madrid nor Manchester City devoted enough players forward to provide any potency […]

Who has the edge in the UEFA Champions League semifinal

The ooad to the San Siro for the UEFA Champions League final is nearly reaching the end with four teams battling for spots in what proved to be an interesting draw. We have a chance for an all-Madrid final with the two Spanish teams in the fray still, as well as the team no one […]

Ranking the four potential Champions League Final match-ups

4. Atletico Madrid vs Manchester City Not that this wouldn’t be a great match, but as far as intrigue goes, there isn’t much here. These two teams have literally no history together as they’ve never met in a competitive match as long as they’ve existed. So as far as storylines for this one, it would be […]

Real Madrid and Manchester City advance to the Champions League semifinals

Manchester City completed their upset victory over PSG in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League while Real Madrid overturned a 2-0 deficit from the first leg to knock off Wolfsburg.

Watch: Kevin de Bruyne puts Manchester City ahead

All season long we’ve been hearing about how important Vincent Kompany is to Manchester City this season. Well we’ve been forgetting about one player who is proving to be even more important. Belgian midfielder Kevin de Bruyne. Since going down with a knee injury at the end of January Manchester City won just two of […]

Watch: Sergio Aguero misses everything on penalty

No one expected Manchester City to be even with PSG at 2-2 when the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match kicked off but here we are. City started the match brightly looking by the more dangerous side and within 29 minutes, Sergio Aguero won a penalty. Part of the reason the scoreline […]

Wild Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League

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 […]

Watch: Fernandinho equalizes against PSG

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 […]

Watch: Adrien Rabiot gives PSG the lead over Manchester City

Kevin de Bruyne may have shocked everyone when he gave Manchester City a 1-0 lead over PSG. The goal came completely against the run of play and no one really thought that lead would hold up for long. In fact it didn’t, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic equalized a mere seconds later. The game would go into […]

Watch: Kevin de Bruyne gives Manchester City the lead, Zlatan Ibrahimovic immediately equalizes

If everything went the favorite’s way on Tuesday well then Wednesday seems to be the day of the underdog. No one was giving Manchester City in their first leg match against PSG in Paris, but perhaps that’s exactly where they wanted to be. Kevin de Bruyne returned from injury for Manchester City last weekend and […]
