This news is a real bummer to US national team fans. Jonathan Spector will undergo surgery to repair his hip. He will be out for 3-6 months, and will certainly miss the Olympics.
Spector is one of the best young American players. At 22 he has already become a mainstay in the English Premier League where [...]
Jose Mourinho has signed a three-year deal to be manager of Inter Milan in Italy’s Serie A.
What does this mean? It means that the self proclaimed “special one” has finally landed at a club after his September 2007 exit from Chelsea. It means that Roman Abramovich and the Chelsea front office needs to worry about [...]
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed his intent to retire from the club within 3 years. His reasons: time for himself, and time for his wife.
Ferguson has had 22 majestic years at the legendary club, and while Ferguson leaves the door open to leave before he reaches the 25 year milestone, I fully [...]
It’s been a whole 3 days since Chelsea lost the Champions League final to Manchester United, but that’s all the time it took for owner Roman Abramovich to part ways with coach Avram Grant.
In a way, I feel bad for Grant. Ever since he took over the role from the mercurial Jose Mourinho in September, [...]
A Game for the Ages!
I figured it was about time that I write about the UEFA Champions League Final. Manchester United vs Chelsea. An all English Final. The Drama. The Pageantry. The Game.
1-1 after 90 minutes. 1-1 after 120 minutes. 6-5 on penalty kicks to Manchester United!
I start by thanking all the players and both [...]
No real surprise here. American international went from starter to captain to on the bench over the course of the 2007-2008 EPL season.
I wouldn’t feel bad about this though. Bocanegra has proven himself to be a solid center back and many teams in Europe know this. I fully expect Bocanegra to get picked up by [...]
Congratulations are in order to Portsmouth for winning the 2008 FA Cup!
I love the FA Cup. I really do. This a tournament for everyone, and I mean everyone. The best part about it is that every team has a shot, and that statement is emphasized with this years final match up between EPL’s Portsmouth and [...]
Hi All!
Sorry for the complete lack of posts lately. I had a friend from out of town come in for the weekend, and I had fully intended to have a full weekend recap after he left on Sunday. However, I have succumbed to a rather nasty illness and the idea of sitting up at my [...]
Malcolm Glazer and Manchester United, Tom Hicks and Liverpool, Randy Lerner and Aston Villa, now Stan Kroenke and Arsenal.
It seems inevitable now that Kroenke will take a controlling stake in Arsenal FC. With the news today that Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has given his blessing, or at least be willing, to let Kroenke take ownership [...]
This is a new soccer ad from Nike, rumor has it that Guy Ritchie directed it. I haven’t seen it on TV yet here in the US (it could be that I have to Tivo a lot and skip through the majority of commercials).
I like it. A lot.
I’m really interested in hearing everyone’s thoughts [...]
