Aberdeen F.C. v. Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C. (Saturday) As I may have mentioned a few weeks ago I feel I have to start watching the bottom of the Scottish Premier League table as the club that finishes last could be the one that Ross County replaces in the top flight. Aberdeen are probably safe, but [...]

Intrigued by the story of Leyton Maxwell- he was the answer to question #5- I did a little digging this week to find out more about him and his sole appearance for Liverpool. First off, there aren’t a lot of pictures of Maxwell in a Liverpool kit on the web- hence the postage stamp to [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Raith Rovers F.C. (Saturday) Can they make it ten in a row in all competitions? Quite possibly- Raith Rovers are in second to last place in the SFL First Division and they’ve only won once in their last five league matches. Should County win this match they could get some help [...]

Scotland U16 v. England U16 (Friday) After the recent triumphant victory of Scotland’s U21 team over the Netherland’s U21 team I thought I’d go ahead and push my luck by previewing this “Victory Shield” match between Scotland and England. This tournament was first played in 1925, but it only became an annual event in 1990. [...]

I’ll admit it: I actually sat and waited for midnight to arrive last night hoping that nobody would submit an answer, much less a correct answer. It’s never my goal to keep a clean sheet with these challenges, but given that last week’s challenge was the 100th that I’ve created it was kind of nice [...]

The USSF released Jurgen Klinsmann’s roster for the USMNT’s upcoming matches against Honduras and Ecuador on Thursday and while there are no “surprises” as such, it is clear that while Klinsmann is still bringing in new players for evaluation, he has begun to focus in on a core group of players.

New England Revolution v. Chivas USA (Saturday) All the talk in New England this week was about the signing of the club’s first Designated Player, Argentine striker Milton Caraglio. Not all of that talk was good, however. Supporters are concerned because Caraglio- just 22- has already suffered a knee injury serious enough to cause him [...]

With less than a week to go before his first match in charge of the USMNT- and against Mexico, no less- Jurgen Klinsmann has announced the 22 players who will be suiting up for this “friendly.” Klinsmann has already made it clear that he wasn’t going to call back players whose seasons are just about [...]

I’m not going to say that I am “delighted” when our regular commenters/participants are stumped by a Thursday Challenge, but it’s not a bad feeling either! Last week I gave you the task of taking a list of fourteen mostly-European football clubs and telling me a) what they had in common, and having done that, [...]

One natural and understandable outcome of the departure of Bob Bradley and the arrival of Jurgen Klinsmann has been renewed discussion of the current state of the USMNT as well as what changes Klinsmann might make and what changes he should make. With his first roster selection Klinsmann made it clear that he was going [...]
