One of the most talked about topics over this past summer was that of Manchester United’s new striker and their old one. Zlatan Ibrahimovic signing for United provided enough storylines of their own, but there was also the topic of where 12 year Manchester United veteran Wayne Rooney would be lining up on the field.

Love him or hate him the one thing you don’t want to see is a star player forced to leave a major final with an injury. Especially when that injury comes early in the game and can have a major effect on the rest of the game. That’s exactly what happened to Cristiano Ronaldo. The […]

It was billed as Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Gareth Bale. The two Real Madrid teammates could speak all they wanted that the match was about more than the two of them but no matter how much they said it this was always going to be about them. It was clear right from the get go as […]

Robert Lewandowski did his job. The Polish captain got his team on the board with an early goal. Now it was time for Portugal’s star to answer. We waited and waited and waited until finally, Portugal played a great one-two getting the ball on the left foot of their star player at the top of […]

Poland vs. Portugal. Robert Lewandowski vs. Cristiano Ronaldo. Two of the best goal scorers in Europe would be going head to head with a chance to send their nation to the semifinals of Euro 2016. Despite being two of the best goal scorers in Europe, neither Ronaldo nor Lewandowski have been doing much scoring in […]

There may be nothing better in soccer then a good team goal. You know the ones that start from good defending work their way all the way through the midfield and then that killer final ball gets played to the striker left back for the finish? Wait the left back? Yes, left back Neil Taylor was on […]

The story of the match was French manager Didier Deschamps dropping Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann from the starting XI and going with a 4-2-3-1 formation. The move was a disaster as France failed to generate any attack. Pogba was subbed on at halftime, with Griezmann following shortly after as France went back to a […]

Through one and a half games Switzerland were one of the least impressive teams at Euro 2016 in France. They were outplayed in their first match against a 10 men Albania side, and it’s very easy to say they would not have gotten all three points had Albania had 11 men the whole match. To […]

Coming into the match Belgium were number two in the FIFA rankings while many people believed this would be one of the worst Italian teams to ever play at a major tournament. Therefore it’d be fair to assume this would be a pretty straightforward contest with Belgium coming out the victors. Apparently nobody told that […]

The first half was all Ireland. Not only did the Irish get chance after chance against Sweden but they also did a great job of keeping the ball away from Sweden’s most dangerous player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Irish finally got their breakthrough just after halftime courtesy of Wes Hoolahan. The goal seemed to wake Sweden […]

With the expanded 24 team format one win, or three points, could be enough to get you out of the group stage and into the knockout round. That’s what made the Sweden vs. Republic of Ireland game so intriguing. With the other two teams in this group being Belgium and Italy, this game was probably […]

There wasn’t much going on in the early going of the USMNT third group game against Paraguay. Both teams got some early chances but nothing really too threatening. But then Gyasi Zardes got some open field on the left flank and Michael Bradley played a perfectly weighted through ball to him. Zardes, who had been […]
