After a week of spectacular (and high stress) Champions League football, I feel like we need a break from the serious. So today’s TWOL will focus on the lighter side of the world of football. Well, I think the following links are light… A.C. Milan fans might disagree. Kanye/soccer post? Love it, even if a […]

all the money in the world, but what to spend it on
despite the claims of many, and even myself from time to time, spurs are not yet a “big club.” as difficult of a statement as that is to admit, it’s unfortunately not that hard of a statement to back up. sure, they’re sitting in 4th in the table at the halfway line, a position many thought […]

Damn the holidays. Traveling to and from to get to all of my family Christmas celebrations, meeting with old friends who are back in town to see their families, and late night alcohol consumption have made it difficult for me to sit in front of a computer, let alone quit being lazy and start posting […]

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 missing
it’s the game’s biggest stage, and that stage features the world’s biggest stars. well, most of them anyway. every four year’s, hundreds of millions of adoring fans to watch the brightest stars of football shine during the world cup. unfortunately, some of those star names don’t get the final invite to the the big ball […]
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 […]
the word of the day
i could easily write for the next three straight days about what did or didn’t happen during today’s transfer deadline day. seriously. as i sat and watched the transfer tickers update themselves today, i had about twenty potential topics rush into my brain. why didn’t tottenham sell roman pavlyuchenko? oh yeah, because they decided to […]
the poster child
the development and current state of the modern game is often the subject of intense criticism from media and fans. they say they fear that there is too much money in football these days (obviously, these fear mongers have never been to the US… we would love for there to be more money in soccer over here).
