It may just be me, but the summer tours by European clubs are nothing more than a gigantic tease. All summer long, we’ve had to make do with watching international football (or not watching it, in the case of watching the Copa America in the U.S.) and patiently wait for the club season to resume.

the sort-of internationals
The international game is back in focus now that the European club season has come to a close.

And luckily, there is no shortage or lack of variety in international fixtures to distract us from the summer […]
ten words or less #18
With the visual overhaul of the blog still ongoing, not to mention the need to continue to write for it too, I realized this morning that I reallly need to post this TWOL before the majority of these stories become outdated. If you happened to have read any of the following links already, just be […]

treading in dangerous waters
This past weekend was just about too much for me to handle. I was on footballing cloud nine to be honest.
