Bradford City A.F.C. v. Southend United F.C. (Friday) As recently as 2000 Bradford were a Premier League club, now they are only one spot above being relegated from league football. I’m not sure how you fill Valley Parade (25,000+) as a conference club, but the Bantams may find out. Southend are in a very different [...]

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 [...]

New England Revolution v. Columbus Crew (Saturday) As the Revolution’s 2011 season has circled the drain I have had to continually lower my goals for the club. Not going win the cup? At least make to the playoffs. Okay, at least show improvement. Alright, at least play hard. No? Fine, let’s make sure to get [...]

New England Revolution v. Portland Timbers (Friday) There’s no doubt that the Revolution’s offense has finally found its “shooting boots.” In the last month they’ve scored eight goals in three matches, including tallies from new boys Milton Caraglio and Monsef Zerka, but it wasn’t until last week against Dallas that they finally won a damn [...]

Around this time every year, UEFA peels back the curtain on their finances and lets the public in on their payment structure. That means that around this time every year, we take some time to look over the info and break it down a bit (past installments are here and here). This year, UEFA’s a [...]

As I predicted last week, the challenge wasn’t anywhere near as difficult as I thought it would be and as a result we had what I believe was a record number of participants- all of whom submitted the correct answer! The usual suspects- Andrew M., Andrew B., and Harry J.- chimed in, but they were [...]

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 [...]

Crawley Town F.C. v. A.F.C. Wimbledon (Friday) I think it’s fantastic that the opening round of England’s League Cup features two teams who will begin their first seasons in league football this year. I also like the way that both of these clubs came into the league (League Two in this case). AFC Wimbledon decided [...]
