you would think that most of the world’s soccer eyes would be cast upon european competition this week. and with so many intriguing plot lines for champions league match day 5, it would be normal to think that way (my favorite: will liverpool be able to pull off another european miracle and keep their hopes […]
round-up #10
it’s so unsurprising, but now that i find myself with more time to write than i can remember, there hasn’t been as much going on to write about for these (somewhat) regular news rounds ups. lucky for you, i’ve scoured the deepest reaches of the interwebs to dig up some interesting tidbits that you might […]
look how far we’ve come
At the end of last week, I wrote about all of the amazing soccer that would be on tap during this past weekend. Boy was i right. But, I’m not writing about any of the World Cup qualifiers today. For a change — and much to the delight of those of you who have shared […]
euro play-off picks
sure, most of the club soccer world is [supposed] to be on international break this weekend, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a boatload going on in the world of football this weekend. MLS’s conference finals are this weekend (i’m watching the LA-houston game as i write this). the NCAA D3 soccer championships started this […]
round-up #9
judging from my lack of posts as of late, i wouldn’t blame you if you thought i had been kidnapped by mexican drug lords or that i was eaten alive by a rogue bear. but as you can see from my recent postings that neither has been the case, though i am sorry that i’ve […]
remember project 2010? i do…
let’s be honest… i’m amped for next summer. why? the world cup will finally return… oh yeah, i’m also getting married and yes i’m extremely excited about that too. though i do need to remember that i can’t imply that i’m equally excited about the world cup and the wedding, or else my fiancee may […]
live blog: north london derby
i’m going to try something new today. something i’ve never done before, but have always wanted to try. i’m going to do a live blog of the first north london derby of the season! (yes, i do realize that i’m totally ripping of bill simmons here… inspiration is the word i would use to describe […]
i’m alive
hello to all of my infrequent visitors, and sorry i haven’t posted in the last week or so. you’re probably very happy to hear that i haven’t: a) died from the swine flue (though i have been sick with some non-pig-related bug), b) given up writing the blog (though maybe you think i should) or […]
round up #8
there’s just too much going on in the world of football for me to even keep up lately, which is just a part of the reason why i started up the twitter account (don’t forget to follow me @wrongsideofpond!). world qualifiers have dominated the headlines the last week or so, but the league’s are picking […]
wrongs side of the pond… now tweeting
I did it. I finally caved, even though I said never would. I never really saw the point. “It’s like Facebook status updates, but without all of the other perks,” I had argued. Twitter had always confused me, to be honest. All of this “tweeting” seemed to be a lot about nothing. You only get […]
