Thursday 23rd of September

For 72 minutes last night the Seattle Sounders had the curse of Mexico broken. The Curse being that no MLS team has won a game on Mexican soil since they have played the CONCACAF Champions League (14 years and counting) or in numbers we can understand 0-48! In 4 minutes it all went to the wayside! The Sounders started reserves and unfortunately it showed in the first and third goals.

Monterrey vs. Seattle Sounders highlights (3-2)


In Italy the season if off and running, the league diverted a strike, they are still upset about the 2002 World Cup, and goals are being scored left and right!

MLS Save of the Week Nominee


History intrigues me and the History of Football (Soccer as we Americans know it) is very unique and funny. Take a read and watch the videos it will be worth your time!

Tackle of the Week (and it's bad)



What do Pele, Frans Beckenbaur, and Johan Cruyuff all have in common? They played for one of the most popular soccer teams in America. Now can that team rise from obscurity and make a come back?

Newcastle vs. Chelsea highlights (4-3) Carling Cup



To make it to the top of any sport, career, or profession you have to have confidence, charisma, and character. Mr. Novak lacks none of those things and also has an ego to back everything up!

Manchester United vs. Scunthorpe United highlights (5-2) Carling Cup



US Soccer has been steadily growing over the last 20 years, they have done great things and y brought the game to the forefront. That said there is always confusion as to who does what and who is involved and why. This article really shows us the players and what goes on inside US Soccer.

Celtic vs. Inverness highlights (6-0)



Yesterday Bebe made his debut for Manchester United, the 20 year old has come a long way after being abandoned by his parents. It is a Rags to Riches story that everyone loves, but along the way to stardom things were murky!

Inter Milan vs. Bari highlights (4-0)


It is claimed "Golden Balls" shared his skills with a Bosnian woman who by the way is not his wife, it is further claimed there was another participant in this foray of love. Now Davey Becks is enough and is getting legal!

AC Milan vs. Lazio highlights (1-1)



It's happened to the USA recently, we have lost a good player and gained a good player. The question is why? Well a persons tie to his country of birth may not be as strong as his tie to his country of origin. Dual Nationality is a confusing part of the game now a days!

Wolfsburg vs. Hamburg highlights (3-1)



I personally feel US Soccer dropped the ball on this big time! Now it's coming out that the deal was almost done but control was an issue as it is in any relationship!!

Hannover vs. Weder Bremen highlights (4-1)


What's in a Name? Could you change your name and move to another country become naturalized and then make a name for yourself in the world of Football/Soccer?

Real Madrid vs. Espanyol highlights (3-0)



You have to give Kries alot of credit, he retired mid-season to take over the team and in 3 years lead them to an MLS championship. I am not sure I would look at him as the next US coach?

Ajax vs. MVV Maastricht highlights (5-0)



At the women's U-17 World Cup a player from Japan displayed some serious skill!

Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Kryvbas highlights (6-0)



Togo was driving to their African Cup of Nations game on January 8th when they were ambushed, 2 were killed and one injured and forgotten about.
