Liverpool F.C. v. Newcastle United F.C. (Friday) The title race is down to two clubs and these are not the two clubs. A place in Europe, however, is still very much up for grabs and these two clubs are in the thick of the race for it. Separated by only a single point, Liverpool and [...]

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 [...]

On Saturday the Staggies of Ross County played to a draw against Livingston F.C. at Victoria Park in Dingwall.* A win would have been preferable, but the home draw made me look good, so I’ll take it. All that needs to happen now is for County to defeat Celtic in the League Cup (at home [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Falkirk F.C. (Saturday) What a difference a week makes- or even three or four days! A league win and a League Cup win in quick succession and suddenly that 0-1-1 start doesn’t look all that bad. It’s still early days, but it could be that all of the off season signings [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Western Mass Pioneers v. New Hampshire Phantoms (Friday) There’s nothing like hot PDL-Northeast Division action, is there? This weekend sees the second place Pioneers (who have two games in hand over first place Portland) face the second-to-last place New Hampshire Phantoms at historic Lusitano Stadium in Ludlow, MA. The Phantoms are one of the older [...]

Mexico v. United Sates of America (Saturday) In the past I have had confidence that the U.S. holds the upper hand in any match against Mexico held on U.S. soil- friendly or competitive. This time around that confidence is gone- long gone. While the U.S. has done what it needed to do after starting off [...]

New England Revolution v. Chicago Fire S.C. (Saturday) Impotent. That’s really the only word to describe the Revolution’s offense. While they dominated their midweek match against Toronto, they never really came close to scoring. The 0-0 draw leaves New England with 11 goals from 15 matches- dead last in all of MLS. The draw also [...]
