Thursday 16th of September

The Champions league wrapped up the first round of the group stage yesterday, there was a lot of goals and nice play all around and the big teams flexed their muscles! All the goals and highlights are below.

Before I get started with all of the highlights I wanted to put up this great video of the USMNT run at the World Cup over the Summer, it brings back all the emotion of the Summer!


The playoff race is heating up and teams are positioning themselves for a long run at the cup, the Redbulls are starting to realize that 3 DP's don't make a team!

Arsenal vs. Braga highlights (6-0)


Sometimes an American player heads to Europe in hopes of getting his career off the ground and getting noticed and sometimes he is already a national team player, well these two guys have finally started to get some action and hopefully it continues.

Chelsea vs. Zilina highlights (4-1)


In Europe kids young as 10 sign for a club, they attend the clubs schools and play soccer everyday after school with the clubs coaches and the club pays for all of it! In America we pay the club if our kid is good enough and coaches make a living off of families, in Dallas they are starting to see the potential of the European way!

Real Madrid vs. Ajax highlights (2-0)


You can put this chaotic scene down to not thinking things through, fly in the best player on the planet and let him play in an amateur game. Notify the public 30 minutes before kick off?

AC Milan vs. Auxerre highlights (2-0)


The USA has alot going for it as far as the possibilities of hosting the World Cup in 2018/2022 but Qatar has the money and ideas that could really sway a hosting committee!

Bayern Munich vs. Roma highlights (2-0)


With the addition of two new teams next year and one in 2012 it was inevitable that the MLS make some changes in the way things are done, they have and now the questions start to surface.

CFR Cluj vs. Basel highlights (2-1)


Tuesday Man U played Rangers, well an American Maurice Edu plays for Rangers. He started and played the whole game. This guy breaks down every pass, every shot, every block with great precision and knowledge!

Spartak Moscow vs. Marseille highlights (1-0)


Match fixing is the proverbial "Elephant in the Room" around the world, wouldn't it be very interesting if a famous brand of sportswear from Portland, Oregon was behind some of the shenanigans?

Shakhtar Donesk vs. Pariszan Belgrade (1-0)
