Why Juventus should be wary of bringing back Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Posted on 3 May 2013 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Follow @GhellaiMahmoud In many ways Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the protypical modern soccer player. Tall, strong, athletic and, perhaps most importantly, has almost no loyalty to his club. One-man clubs are becoming more and more rare as the years go by, but Zlatan is almost truly an example of a soccer mercenary. He’s played for six teams since 2004 and is the world’s most expensive player in h...

Why Don’t Serie A teams take the Europa League more seriously?
Posted on 3 May 2013 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Follow @GhellaiMahmoud The UEFA Champion’s League is one of the world’s most watched and anticipated tournaments, by fans and players alike. Not only does winning the coveted ‘Big Ears’ trophy mean putting your name into club folklore for the players and coaches but it also means large increases in cash revenues from bonuses, gate receipts, etc. A prime example is Chelsea, whom have bee...

Surprise appointment Massimiliano Allegri has been a dud, but Milan board is also to blame for their problems
Posted on 25 Sep 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Follow @GhellaiMahmoud In the summer of 2010, Leonardo was fired from the club due to poor form in the last few games and apparently a fractious relationship with Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi. Milan began the hunt for a new coach while stressing that they would need to cut costs and would not be making any major signings. In the end, Berlusconi could not resist as he brought in Ibrahimovic and...

Are Fiorentina dark horses for Italy’s third Champion’s League spot?
Posted on 26 Aug 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.

Juventus have been able to strengthen themselves well in the summer and look poised to...

Posted on 23 Aug 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Follow @GhellaiMahmoud On May 23rd, 2007 AC Milan’s ageless wonder captain Paolo Maldini lifted the UEFA Champion League trophy in Athens after they defeated Liverpool 2-1, laying to rest the demons of the 2005 Champion’s League Final. Kaka incredible form in the competition not only left him top scorer of the Champion’s League, but also would give him the FIFA World Player of the Year ...

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...

UEFA Champions League Quarter-finals Preview
Posted on 23 Mar 2011 by Justin Welton.
The quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League have been set, and the matchups are intriguing to say the least. Real Madrid vs. Tottenham is a game that should be exciting to watch. There are so many players who are capable of providing that “wow” moment which will draw in the average soccer fan.

Posted on 30 Dec 2010 by Robert Bode.
In the final edition of the 2010 European Soccer Power Rankings, it isn't surprising the top two teams hail from Spain, the nation who won the World Cup this past summer.

European Club Power Rankings #3
Posted on 27 Oct 2010 by Robert Bode.
1. Real Madrid – In their last four matches, Real has won 6-1, 4-1, 2-0 against AC Milan in the Champions League, and 6-1 again. Cristiano Ronaldo has been in blistering form, and the scariest thing is Los Blancos seem to be getting better each week (although their 0-0 tie against Murcia in Copa del Rey action shows their depth is a minor concern). 2. Chelsea – If not for Real Madrid, Chel...

European Soccer Power Rankings – #2
Posted on 20 Sep 2010 by Robert Bode.
Chelsea celebrating another goal. So there was an international break a couple weeks ago, and so hence the delay in the power rankings. However, the break was a blessing in disguise, giving me time to see Champions League and Europa league games and having a better idea how to rank the teams from different leagues. There are a lot of traditional powers who have struggled early, while some early...

Posted on 15 Sep 2010 by Robert Bode.
GROUP E Bayern Munich (Germany) – One of the most exciting teams in club football, Bayern Munich finished runner-up last year in the CL.
