I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, one of the best parts of putting together the Thursday Challenge every week is seeing the commenters come up with answers (and correct ones at that!) that I never anticipated. This week was no exception. Not only did Andrew M. and Dennis W. both answer all [...]

You’ll be happy to know that this week’s challenge has a little something for everyone: some questions require just some common sense and a bit of digging on the web, while others will require you to have a bit of knowledge about football culture so that you’ll at least know where to begin. There’s [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Ayr United F.C. (Saturday) At what point am I allowed to start freaking out about what’s going on with my club? County still have a nine point lead over second place Falkirk and no matter what happens in this match or the next one against Dundee, the Staggies will be in [...]

New England Revolution v. Toronto F.C. (Saturday) Here we are, the final weekend of the MLS season and the Revolution only have one thing to play for- the fact that a win might keep them from finishing last in all of MLS. Looking forward, the Revs need to make it a priority to re-sign Shalrie [...]

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 [...]

New England Revolution v. Seattle Sounders S.C. (Saturday) I don’t often pick against my Revs in our “MLS Pick ‘em” feature, but this week I did…I had to. It’s not that I don’t think they have a chance, it’s just that they’re a club who can’t afford to make a mistake in any match, and [...]

Sporting K.C. v. Philadelphia Union (Friday) This is the first of two very tasty matches on the MLS menu this weekend. This is a “must win” match for both clubs, not so much because they are in second (Sporting) and third (Union) place in the Eastern Conference, but because Houston and New York are just [...]

New England Revolution v. New York Red Bulls (Saturday) Based on the last month or so the Revolution might want to consider adding the Latin phrase for “Finding a way not to win” to the team logo. I applauded (moderately) the signing of Milton Caraglio and the emergence of teen sensation Diego Fagundez, but I’m [...]
