Welcome to Wednesday’s Last Call! We hope this evening finds you well. The Champions’ League group stages are finished and we now know who will be in the knock out stages.

Hello and welcome again to Last Call! We’re all anxiously awaiting FIFA’s decision on who will be hosting the 2018 (which happens to be the first World Cup which my son will be eligible to play in) and the 2022 World Cups. Two of our writers have already shared their thoughts on this here and [...]

Ahoy ahoy friends. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, or as Frank Lampard calls it “why wasn’t I born American? day.” While the focus tomorrow may be on the American version of football — I dare someone to find a soccer player with more effeminate hair than Tommy Brady, by the way — there is still the other [...]

Welcome to Last Call tonite. We are grateful to be hosting this “live” blog in conjunction with the US Soccer game tonite.

Howdy and welcome to our Wednesday edition of Last Call. We are always happy to have you over. Much of the ATD staff is happy today because it would appear that Liverpool FC has been removed from the clutches of Hicks/Gillette. You can read more on that here and here. Because of this, drinks tonight [...]
