I’ve got a secret to tell, but you have to promise not to tell anyone. Okay? Good. You see, I think I’m starting to like Bolton. (I’ll pause here for a minute to allow you to compose yourself. Take your time, I know how shocking this statement is.) I’ve never liked the Trotters. I can’t […]

i love you, man
it’s often extremely difficult as a man to express one’s emotions. we’re all supposed to be stoic and told to ignore our feelings. instead we should be off doing manly things like building bridges with our bare hands, and crushing skulls on our hairy chests whenever someone insults our favored clubs. but let’s be honest: […]

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.

take THAT, england!
it feels like the apocalypse is upon us, and judgment day must be just around the corner. i’m not exactly what you would consider a man of religion, but i think the bible might just confirm my fears in revelations 6:12… when he opened the sixth seal, i looked, and behold, there was a great […]
the european playoff proposition
I love the promotional playoffs in English Championship. They add an additional layer of drama to an already drama-filled promotional race at the end of each season. Often times, the playoffs expose little known teams to the big-time spotlight, giving those sides a rare shot of a match at the fabled Wembley. The play playoffs […]
all but the nail in the coffin
do you ever get the feeling in the pit of your stomach where you know that something awful is just around the corner? sometimes it can feel like you’re being slowly dragged towards the edge of a cliff because you have an anvil tied to your foot. no matter how much you claw at the […]
