Almost eleven months ago, during a sunny week in South Florida, you could tell the 2009 MLS Draft Class had the potential to be special.

During the rough days of the MLS Combine, even as player struggled with fitness and playing with their new teammates, there was a sense that this year's crop of talent had the potential to provide MLS with a serious infusion of talent.

Kevin Davies or Carlos Tevez?

FOOTBALLSUP 14 November @ 08:57 AM EST

Yes, that is a serious question. Two players who 'offer more than just goals' as strikers. But how much more? Who would you rather have? Fortunately a member of the Football365 Forum (lol tb x) has done the analysis for us. Read on to see who comes out on top...

A comparison of their goals and assists since Tevez came here:

This is obviously an area where Tevez should win by a margin having played with some of the best players in the world.

The Chicago Fire and Real Salt Lake are probably not the teams most observers would have pegged to be playing for the Eastern Conference title and berth in MLS Cup, but these two teams earned their places in the Final Four by virtue of strong first-round performances that should lead into a memorable East Final on Saturday night (8pm, FSC).

A Few Thoughts...

Fantasy EPL 25 October @ 10:42 AM EST
It isn't my intention to steal the MMM's thunder but I figured I'd throw out a few observations from my weekend of watching a pretty crazy amount of footie... 1. This is definitely the year where forwards are re-establishing themselves as the league's goal-getters. In recent seasons we've seen the ascent of CRon, Lamps, Gerrard, Ashley Young, and others among the league's top goal scorers.

Raul

The forgotten man in Real Madrid's offensive rotation reminded La Liga fans that he is still among the best goal scorers. With Cristiano Ronaldo out for a while it is Raul's time to shine and prove once again in his career that he is as valuable as any player on the squad.

LLTO La Liga Tuesday Review

La Liga Report 20 October @ 06:42 AM EST

Last week I went on and on about how Sevilla is the most overlooked club in all of La Liga. They have beaten among the best (Real Madrid) and going into last weekend they were among the hottest clubs in all of the world. Well you can say that I gave Sevilla the dreaded curse as well. The club's winning ways would come to an end last weekend with a loss to Deportivo La Coruna.

Responsibilities of a Forward

USSoccerPlayers 18 October @ 10:00 AM EST
Forwards are goal scorers. Forwards are our front line of attack, our main offensive players. If the ball is between a forward and the goal or the goal line, forwards must be running to the ball - all the way to the goal or to the goalkeeper. Forwards have to follow all shots. If another forward has the ball, the first forward must move without the ball, along with the other forwards, to stay one. Click to continue reading...

Pasión Albiceleste 08 October @ 10:26 PM EST

A great piece of Argentine football history was published by Clarin today.

Even though there have been countless numbers of Argentine players that have been goal scorers in Europe, only one Argentine player has actually won the European Golden Boot.

So, who is the only Argentine player to win the European Golden Boot as top goal scorer in all of Europe?

Josh asks: Are ARSENAL real title contenders?

Arsenal Insider 06 October @ 07:00 AM EST

After such an emphatic attacking display against Blackburn, the question has come around, are we REAL title contenders? Many people will suddenly sit up and take notice after another Premier League victory in which we scored 6. However, are they getting ahead of themselves? I will look at what we have put right from last season, what attributes might make us plausible title contenders, and what still needs putting right.

Fan Diary #11: Chelsea v. Liverpool

EPL Talk 05 October @ 04:49 PM EST
Facing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is never easy. But with Petr Cech suspended and with Liverpool's knack for playing well against the London giants, I felt optimistic going into yesterday's match.

The Magnificent 10 (and Diaby).

Avenell Road 05 October @ 12:44 PM EST

Jonjon's view on Yesterday's game.

I had to talk about the game as I was about to burst inside..

That was magnificent, that performance showed many aspects of the new improved 2009-10 team...

A while ago, I think it was Ave and me that talked about the fact that if we learned to finish off our chances we dont need to worry about defending.

Rosicky and Arshavin – Arsenal’s Twin Tormentors

Arsenal News News News 30 September @ 10:45 AM EST

Yesterday's game gave Arsenal fans and the world an indication of what Arshavin and Rosicky playing in tandem can do.

Both players are skilful, have plenty of tricks, great vision, an array of passing, are always on the move and can shoot. It is a luxury to have one player like that, but to be fortunate to have two is amazing.

Lionel Messi

It has been claimed many times by many different people, Messi is quite simply "the man" as we say here in the states. Messi continues to fuel Barca's ridiculous offense and who knows maybe the club can potentially win the treble two straight seasons even though it had never been done by any La Liga squad ever before last season.

Hull City Adds More Depth

English Premier league 04 September @ 06:48 AM EST

The Hull City Tigers have all the odds against them. This off-season they discovered that most players with the talent to play for the club would prefer to be role players for more historically successful clubs. Take Michael Owen for example. He spurned the Tigers for a sub spot on Manchester United.
