Watch out EPL and Europe, Eden is fulfilling Hazard-ous potential
Posted on 25 Sep 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Follow @GhellaiMahmoud Last summer Eden Hazard was already coveted by just about all the top teams in Europe, after what had been an incredible year for the young Belgian who won lead OSC Lille to the Ligue 1 title in France while being named Ligue 1 Player of the Year. He shut down all interest by declaring that he would at least play one more year in order to increase his development. Incredi...

Posted on 4 Feb 2011 by Robert Bode.
It looked as though this would be a quiet winter transfer market, with very unsubstantial rumors amounting to nothing in the weeks leading up to January's final weekend. But as the January transfer window was closing, some of Europe's biggest and most storied clubs decided they needed to make a big splash, which resulted in some big names moving across Europe. Chelsea's Double-Dip – Ferna...

Posted on 26 Jan 2011 by Justin Welton.

Some Kind of Big Joke: The Five Managers that Deserved to Win the “Manager of the Decade” award before Arsene Wenger.
Posted on 26 Jan 2011 by Ciccio Sabetti.
It seems almost inevitable that people won’t always get what they deserve. A perfect example is Wesley Sneijder; he was the most important player in the 09/10 season for both Inter Milan, the team that won the treble, and the Netherlands, the runner up at the World Cup, and he wasn’t even considered in the last three candidates to win the FIFA Ballon D’Or. If that wasn’t bad enough, wel...

Posted on 18 Nov 2010 by Mark Adamson.
Against France on Wednesday England looked lost, confused, disorganized and more the vast majority of the game they were outclassed. France certainly impressed with Nasri, Benzema amongst others, taking the opportunities provided to them due to the suspension of players involved in the circus that was France at the World Cup. So what happened with England? Andy Carroll, Jordan Henderson and Kie...

Clear as Mud: Is the Premier League meeting parity?
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by Mark Adamson.
Now with every team in the Premier League having played 12 games, normally we would begin to see some indication as to what to expect at the end of the season, however all we see right now is parity. Outside of the top 4, which most people would have picked, there are 13 teams separated by no more than 6 points. Newcastle, Sunderland and Bolton all hold positions in top 10 and all have had big ...

EPL, I’d Like You to Meet Parity
Posted on 17 Oct 2010 by Robert Bode.
The EPL's “Big Four,” (Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool), have utterly dominated the league since its inception in 1992. Other than Blackburn Rovers' title in 1994-95, only Man U (11), Chelsea (3) and Arsenal (3) have lifted the EPL trophy. Meanwhile, Liverpool has not finished outside of the top eight since the EPL began. Even this season, three of the big four are...

IS ERIC LICHAJ (“LEE-HIGH”) THE NEXT ALEXI LALAS?
Posted on 7 Oct 2010 by Timothy Ashe Jr..
Let’s rewind to the year 1996. I’m sitting at a small soccer field in the Midwest, outside of Chicago, watching my brother’s match for the Downers Grove Roadrunners, whom I also played for at the time. After his game, he said to me, “Did you see that kid over there?” “No, why?” I replied. My brother went on to explain to me. “He’s my age, by far the best player in th...

5 Ways to Become a Soccer Fan
Posted on 20 Aug 2010 by Robert Bode.
I was born in Texas, raised in Virginia, and grew up on American football, baseball and basketball. The last time I played organized soccer I was 7-years old. The first soccer game I ever attended was last summer in Washington DC. So why then has soccer been elevated to being my second favorite sport (behind American football)? For me, it was a combination of five factors, and for you to become...
