Wayne Rooney scored again for Manchester United in a 3-1 victory over nemesis Arsenal. Manchester United now sits one point behind Chelsea in the Premier League standings.
Check out the highlights below, Rooney scores on a fantastic strike for United’s second goal. I’ve said it before, but he is definitely making a case to be called [...]
*The Adu/Johnson play starts around the 2 minute mark
Freddy Adu delivered quite a nice pass to Eddie Johnson in his debut for Aris FC, a pass which Johnson capitalized on by scoring his first goal for the team.

The African Football Confederation (CAF) has banned Togo for the 2012 and 2014 editions of the Africa Cup of Nations. Wait, what?
Togo, whose bus was attacked by machine gun fire, killing two players, has been banned from future competition for pulling out of the current Cup of Nations? Ridiculous.
By definition of humanity, the CAF has [...]

But with this loss [...]
England will play Mexico on May 24 at Wembley Stadium in the lead up to the World Cup.
I see this a very intriguing match-up. With this friendly, it is obvious that England coach Fabio Capello is not taking Team USA lightly. England’s first match in the World Cup will be against the USA. This friendly [...]
Negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement between Major League Soccer and the Players Union have been tense. With a deadline of February 1 fast approaching, the two sides have agreed to push the deadline date back 11 days to February 12.
The sad fact is that in order for soccer to really grow in America, [...]
Is Wayne Rooney making the case to be called the best player in the world? Quite possibly yes.
He has been on a tear this Premier League season, scoring 21 goals in 29 matches and leading Manchester United to 2nd place in the EPL and just 1 point behind league leaders Chelsea, despite the high profile [...]
I am, obviously, a huge soccer fan. But for those of you who are regular soccerisfutbol readers, you also know that I am always deeply intrigued by soccer’s ability to slice through social and political unrest.
