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...

Posted on 20 Aug 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Last night, the La Liga campaign for the big two started off with defending champions Real Madrid hosting Valencia while Tito Vilanova's official coaching debut would begin with a game against Real Sociedad. While Mourinho's men were held to a 1-1 stalemate, it was Barcelona who impressed with a 5-1 thrashing of Sociedad. Christian Tello was the star of the match and it appears he has matured f...

REAL MADRID CORNER: PRECIADO OUTMANAGES MOURINHO TO RATTLE MADRID’S TITLE HOPES AS SG WINS 1-0 TO DROP RM 8 PTS BEHIND BARCA IN LEAGUE RACE
Posted on 3 Apr 2011 by Timothy Ashe Jr..
Preciado and Mourinho don't like each other. Did Preciado get revenge? This was supposed to be an easy win. Little Sporting Gijon (14th place in the table), dropped into the Bernabeau with little expectations except to be competitive and not get crushed. Most people can’t even name a Sporting player because they don’t have any clear cut superstars. Jose Mourinho hadn’t lost a l...

Real Madrid Spotlight: Marcelo
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Timothy Ashe Jr..
Marcelo Vieira da Silva Júnior, or “Marcelo” is a 22 year old Brazilian National who has had a fantastic year for Real this year. He likes to push up the left side as either a back or winger and has been vital to Madrid’s success. I’ll be honest in saying that I had some doubts about the young player’s role at the beginning of the year. Moreover, I’d become even more ner...

Two leagues within La Liga
Posted on 21 Jan 2011 by Allan Jiang.
When the 2010 FIFPro starting 11 was announced, eight of the 11 players were from Barcelona and Real Madrid. La Liga clubs not named Barcelona or Real Madrid not only have to contend with the overwhelming gap from a talent perspective but they also have to watch on with frustration as Barcelona and Real Madrid pocket more than a third of the TV revenue. Then again 60% of the nation supports one...

Posted on 8 Dec 2010 by Timothy Ashe Jr..
Angel DiMaria (Argentine) had a very nice showing last Saturday at home against Valencia in Madrid's 2-0 victory Madrid badly needed this win for their morale. After Jose Mourinho sat silently last week on the Madrid bench watching his teams and supporters hopes and dreams fade away, we all knew there was no way he could let the next one get away. Right? You better believe it. And ...

A CHINK IN THE ARMOR? THE CATALAN GIANTS ENDURE SOME INJURIES AND ARE OFF TO A 4th PLACE START
Posted on 6 Oct 2010 by Timothy Ashe Jr..

Barcelona or Barca as they’re so cooly called in the football world currently sits in 4th place in La Liga. Barca almost tallied 100 points in la liga last year and still set the all time record for points narrowly beating Real Madrid. The season ...

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...
