i’m breaking own rules on today’s TWOL… i’m posting something other than a single picture, a short introduction, and a 8 links in less than 80 words. the horrors, right? yup, that’s a video at the bottom. but it’s pretty outstanding, so you’ll have to pardon my lack of consistency. why you don’t hire maradona […]

who’s wearing the pants in this relationship?
“The MLS”, as it is known in Europe, is kind of a big deal these days. The league actually gets TV revenue now, as opposed to the opening years when they had to pay to get their games on the tube. There are clubs that are actually turning profits, a welcomed and hoped for goal […]
ten words or less #26
There are definitely weeks where I could spit out like three ten words or less, and this is one of them. I have to admit that I love all of these little odds and ends type stories that permeate out of the game. And with titles being won and fates being sealed this week, there […]
ten words or less #25
Wow, we’ve already reached the quarter century mark for the Ten Words or Less series? What a momentous occasion. I thought about doing some sort of theme for this special milestone post — only links to video of players tripping during training, links to pictures of footballers eating with their families, etc. — but it […]

this is part IV in the “wrong side XI” series, where i’ll be selecting my very own starting eleven, assuming of course that i could choose any player from any team in the world. you can read the rules i’ll be following to make my team selection, and what formation i’ll be squeezing them into, […]

while the world’s footballing attention is rightfully focused on the bright lights of the europe’s almost-biggest stage this week, let us not forget that the biggest game in north american soccer takes place this week too (1opm est, fox soccer channel). so as we all try to digest both champions leagues’ actions and results this […]
in defense of a welshman
Boy oh boy! How about that Gareth Bale? The new “Welsh Wizard”, PFA Player of the Year! I’m obviously elated with my favorite player winning the award. Waking up yesterday morning to see Bale posing with the trophy, looking all spiffy in his tux, was certainly a pleasant surprise. I honestly hadn’t expected him to […]
round up #31
I have to admit that I’m a little depressed this week. I cancelled a vacation day that I had planned for watching the second leg of the Tottenham-Real Madrid Champions League quarter-final, as it makes no sense to waste such a precious commodity on a tie that will surely see my favorite team exit. I’m […]
