Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are all strengthening, but are Liverpool the dark horses?
Posted on 20 Aug 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Not since the days of Abramovich's takeover in Chelsea back in 2003 and the takeover of Manchester City by the oil billions (or trillions?) of the Abu Dhabi Royal family has the EPL experienced such a large expenditure in the transfer market. Arsenal have bucked their recent trend of buying only youth players and saving money with the purchases of Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud early on in t...

How good is the Ibrahimovic deal for PSG?
Posted on 20 Aug 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
On Wednesday July 18, 2012, Paris-Saint German completed the second and final part of their shock €60 million double swoop for Thiago Silva and Ibrahimovic from AC Milan. Without a doubt the Thiago Silva deal is one of the biggest in history as PSG may have bought the world's best defender, a huge coup in itself, especially with a reported heavy interest from Barcelona. But what about the imp...

Is Van Persie worth it for Manchester United?
Posted on 20 Aug 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
On Thursday afternoon Robin Van Persie, captain of English powerhouse Arsenal and top scorer of the EPL last year, will move to major rivals Manchester United for a stunning 235,000 pounds-a-week deal after a 24 million pound deal was agreed between the two clubs. That means that a player that has spent a fair amount of time on the treatment table (last season was his first season playing every...

How the NASCAR Chase Should Be Set Up
Posted on 1 Jul 2012 by Joseph Hopkins.
How the tracks should be set up for the NASCAR Chase in proper order. Chase Order: SHORT TRACK RUN: 1.) Bristol- Hopefully the new pavement will be an improvement. I like Richmond more, but it'd be silly to have two Chase races in Virginia. Starts the season on primetime tv (on ABC for that matter, which is a plus). Photo by Getty Images 2.) Martinsville- Awesome short track. One of the most ex...

Danica Hitting Her Marks
Posted on 25 Jun 2012 by Steven Keys.
Having roots in America’s Dairyland, a top five finish in last Saturday’s Nationwide stop at Road America would’ve been the ideal confidence-builder for an anxious Danica Patrick and race team, JR Motorsports. Fellow driver Jacques Villeneuve put the brakes on that storyline when he chose not to use his own pads on the fabled Wisconsin raceway. In the final lap of the Sargento 200 in Elkh...

Posted on 23 Jun 2012 by Michael Jenkins.
Quarterfinal #3- Spain (Group C Winner) v. France (Group D Runner-Up) Last Meeting- 2010 (Paris) Spain 2 France 0 Outlook- This game could have two very different outcomes. It all will be decided based on how France decides to play against the Spanish. The Spanish do not change the way they play for anyone. They play a short controlled passing game that looks to slice and dice the oppositio...

Euro 2012- Quarterfinal #2 Preview
Posted on 20 Jun 2012 by Michael Jenkins.
Quarterfinal #2- Germany (Pool B Winner) v. Greece (Pool A Runner-Up) These teams have not met over the last five years. Outlook- This looks like a complete mismatch on paper. Germany is the overwhelming favorite. They have looked like the best team in the entire tournament during pool play. They are extremely talented on offense, they play fluidly and as a team and they have a sufficient def...

Quarterfinal Game #1- Czech Republic (#1 Seed- Group A) v. Portugal (#2 Seed- Group B)- Last Meeting- Euro 2008- Portugal win 3-1 Overview- These are two teams that many believed would not get out of pool play. Both moved on via their results on the last day of pool play. The Czechs came out of arguably the weakest group. The Portuguese came out of arguably the toughest group. This matchup wi...

England, France join the Quarterfinals
Posted on 19 Jun 2012 by Michael Jenkins.
England won Group D today with a 1-0 victory over Ukraine. Ukraine played very well and controlled the game for long periods of time, but England's Wayne Rooney scored in the opening stages of the 2nd half to allow England to advance. Rooney, who suited up for the first time in the tournament due to a two game suspension earned during qualifying, scored on a back post header in the 48th minute....

Euro 2012 Update- 6 teams through, 2 more to go
Posted on 18 Jun 2012 by Michael Jenkins.
Over the past three days, drama of the highest caliber has taken place in Poland and the Ukraine. Teams that were favored to go through have gone home and teams that seemed to have the slightest of chances to go through have lived to fight another day. Group A was absolutely flipped on its head when the Czech and the Greeks both won on the last day of pool play pushing both squads into the quar...

First 2 victims at Euro 2012, Tourney Update
Posted on 15 Jun 2012 by Michael Jenkins.
After the completion of two pool games, the only teams that have no chance of advancing to the quarterfinals are Sweden and Ireland. Sweden have lost both of their games (2-1 to Ukraine, 3-2 to England) in tight fashion while the Irish were completely outclassed in their first two contests (3-1 to Croatia, 4-0 to Spain). In Pool A and Pool B, all four teams have the chance to advance going into...

Euro 2012- Group D Preview
Posted on 12 Jun 2012 by Michael Jenkins.
I will preface this saying I know it's late. I have had computer issues as I have traveled over the last 24 hours. Saying that, here is my preview of Group D before the results are known of today's games. Group D is an interesting group. You have question marks with every team and there is no clear cut favorite. Playing desperate will be critical for these teams as they seek to advance. The two...
