europe is in full swing now, with the last of the major european leagues kicking off this weekend. my spurs pulled off their second miracle in less than four months by qualifying “spanking young boys” in the second leg of their champions league qualifier. so needless to say, i’m in a pretty upbeat mood. so […]
the next big step
for those of us who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, the idea of american soccer players in europe pretty much only came true when they visited the old continent for vacations. fantasies of american’s playing in europe were almost exactly that… fantasies. sure their were pioneers who crossed the pond for short stints. […]

i know i owe you a full length post, but i’m going to be honest. i’ve just not had the time to put one through that meets my extremely low high expectations this week. so while the drafts in my column queue are fermenting to the point where they’re appropriate for consumption by the masses, […]
round up #22
with the new season already begun in some parts of europe, and the premiership set kicking off this weekend, i’m obviously all sorts of amped up. the constant stream of football news has shifted away from world cup stories and has thinned of transfer rumors (though they are certainly not anywhere close to ending… ever).

a tale of two summers
the transfer market is always a tricky beast to navigate, particularly in a summer after a world cup where transfer fees bloat due to raised expectations. and while many clubs come into the summer with a clear plan for their transfer dealings, those plans can often get derailed in no time flat for any multitude […]

mortal kombat!!!!!
Every work day, I exchange at least 10 to 15 emails with my buddies Lippstick and Milky, arguing about the latest news and rumors in the world of football. And since the football media pour out stories at a rate equivalent to the amount of oil spewing forth from BP’s well in the Gulf of […]

the regular four year reports that the business world suffered a drastic decrease in productivity due to the world cup are starting to spill out, and those monitoring the economy are probably breathing a sigh of relief now that the tournament is over. fret not though my dear readers, as i’m still finding plenty of […]
this is not a popularity contest
greetings from south africa on the last day of world cup 2010… ok, i’m lying. i’m sitting in my living room in ohio at 9 in the morning, just like i have for a majority of this summer’s big event. and from my bird’s eye, HD view of the action, i’ve had a chance to […]
round up #21
two months after my last round up post, and i have finally gathered up enough stories to put together one of these. and upon further thought, it comes off as pretty stupid of me, because since then i’ve created a whole other type of links post since then to accomodate the supposedly “huge” amount of […]
