US Faces Depleted Danish Side

Major League Soccer Talk 18 November @ 08:32 AM EST

It's a tough situation Bob Bradley finds himself in. With very few friendly dates left before South Africa to test our best against quality opposition, today's game against Denmark appears to be a dud. The US is without its two most recognizable field players, Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey, while the Danes basically have a "B" side at their disposal which excludes such recognizable names as Daniel Agger and Niklas Bendtner.

Slovakia? Meh. Denmark next.

USA World Cup Blog 16 November @ 03:51 AM EST

As you can see from the highlights, the US MNT's 1-0 loss to Slovakia wasn't pretty, but they hung in there, got some good chances, and only allowed a goal on a questionable penalty kick (also, good job spelling Marek Hamsik's name wrong, USsoccer.com).

There really isn't too much you can say about this match.

Atletico Madrid Sack Head Coach

La Liga Report 26 October @ 06:42 AM EST

Well it must be time for the holidays with all the firings that are beginning to occur around the world of football. Plenty of dismal managers have already been kicked to the curb in other leagues and now La Liga has its first prominent replacement happening this week. Atletico Madrid's skipper Abel Resino is the first coach to go from any powerhouse squad in Spain and the coach could not last an entire year in total length with his new squad.

DC United tie at Toluca, 1-1

DCUMD 20 October @ 09:26 PM EST
Finishing 1-1 against the leader of the Mexican Primera Division on the road is a better result than most of us expected, and probably a better result than we deserved. Still, thanks to some inspired play by a few individuals, and some poor shooting by Toluca, we emerged with a single point.
A win would have secured our spot in the Champions' League quarterfinals, but let's not count ourselves out yet. Click to continue reading...

Weekend Soccer Television Schedule - 3/4 October 2009

World Club Rankings 01 October @ 04:06 PM EST

Okay, I'm getting close to just throwing up my hands on ESPN, especially ESPN Deportes, who refuse to post schedules more than several hours ahead of time for the weekend. I know ESPND is likely to broadcast both German and Spanish football this weekend, but I don't know which matches. I could guess, for example I find it hard to believe that between GolTV and ESPND, nobody is going to broadcast the Barcelona match, but as of the moment I'm writing this, nobody claims to be – but then ESPND isn't "claiming" to have determined anything it's showing this weekend, so who the Hell knows?

LLTO La Liga Matches of the Week

La Liga Report 10 September @ 06:56 AM EST

Who will hang their heads in the second week of La Liga Primera Division football and who will rejoice down the road of victory. It's still extremely early in the 2009/2010 campaign, but with all the football ahead let's see who can get a head start on the rest of the league table.

Getafe-Barca

Getafe was fabulous on the road in their first match against Racing Santander scoring more goals then any other road team with four total, but in week two of the year the schedule just got a lot tougher.

LLTO La Liga Weekly Review

La Liga Report 01 September @ 06:41 AM EST

Well the first week of the Primera Division has wrapped up and now it's time to reflect on the debut matches of the year. Real Madrid was given the honor of kicking off the 2009 season and the club did not disappoint in their first match. The club beat Deportivo La Coruna by less then expected 3-2, but Ronaldo scored his first goal on a penalty and Diarra showed a rare offensive flair by scoring the winning goal in the second half.

La Liga Report 17 August @ 07:59 AM EST

Keeper of the Year

David Cobeno of Rayo Vallecano is our Segunda Division Goalie of the Year. The keeper was more then reliable for his squad starting an impressive 40 matches and only allowing 35 goals for the entire season. It would be the most impressive save percentage in the league and the keeper would be one of the only to start 40 games for the entire season.

So branching out from the usual look at just this weekend's festivities, let's move into some present weirdnesses and see what the crystal bowl is showing us now about events around the bend (or off the deep end, as the case may be).
1. The indefinite delay of the Argentine Primera Division's 2009 Clausura season (read that story here), which is absolutely shocking to me. Click to continue reading...

2009 LLTO La Liga Awards: Most Disappointing Club

La Liga Report 06 August @ 07:28 AM EST

Once again it seems like the easiest way to win a Most Disappointing Award is when you are coming off of a unusually spectacular season. And that was the case for Villareal Club de Futbol during the 2008/2009 season. The Yellow Submarines were so strong in 2007/2008 that any performance that was not among the league's best would be considered a mild disappointment at the least.
