Happy start of the Scottish Premier League season everyone! What? Yeah, the season starts today. When your league has been hemorrhaging credibility and coefficient points I suppose the one thing to do is move the season up three weeks. Well that or actually do something in Europe … so I guess this path is the [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Kilmarnock F.C. (Saturday) The undefeated Staggies’ final preseason match will be the only one in which they will face an opponent who are as good or better than they are, Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock F.C.. This match should tell the County players and staff two things: How much they have [...]

Brazil v. Paraguay (Saturday) Have you seen the hairstyles on the Brazilian players? I’m pretty sure Robinho thinks he’s a dark-haired version of Johnny Bravo- but I digress. I have little doubt that Brazil will win this match, but based on what I saw from Paraguay in the World Cup last summer it may not [...]

As you may have guessed from last weeks title and from the questions, the theme running through most of the questions was futility, or perhaps, “dubious achievements.” I thought it might be fun to shine a little light on those in the world football who have earned their notoriety for, well, doing it wrong. Another [...]

Author’s note: As regular readers might expect I am beside myself with footie-glee that Ross County, the New England Revolution, the Scottish National Team and the USMNT are all playing this weekend. WOOOOOO!! Ross County F.C. v. Greenock Morton F.C. (Saturday) In last week’s match against Cowdenbeath- County’s most important match this season- they laid [...]

Last week, on that day when the temperature rose above 60 degrees a coworker of mine (a transplanted Virginian) exclaimed, “Spring is here!!”- I couldn’t help but sadly shake my head at her. As a life-long New Englander I know that spring is mythical, much like the unicorn or a married ferret owner. Sure enough, [...]

Portugal (4) v. Brazil (6) (Friday) Maybe it’s just the historian in me, but I always enjoy matches between former colonies and their former imperial masters- they are especially enjoyable when the former colony is the better side as it is in this case. Both teams are going to progress (the Côte d’Ivoire will enter [...]

Germany (3) v. Serbia (0) (Friday) Serbia are a better side than Australia and should give Germany a better match. Should. The way Germany played against Australia I have a hard time seeing this match ending in anything other than a win for Die deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft. The Germans played like the young team that they [...]
