Real Madrid: the Liverpool of Spain?

The Beautiful Game (2) 11 November @ 08:53 AM EST
Injuries.
Underachieving.
A manager under fire.
Alcorcon? Sounds like a pharmaceutical or a weapons manufacturer. Not a third-division club that knocked you out in the Copa del Rey.
Naw, they're not Liverpool. Madrid is just one point out of first (not 11), but you get the picture. Click to continue reading...

DC 1-0 Columbus: Post Game

The Offside - Columbus 18 October @ 03:36 PM EST

The Crew outshot United 8-2 in front of 16,000 rain soaked fans last night at RFK Stadium.

None of The Massive's shots found the net.

Columbus, who needed the win to secure their second-straight Supporter's Shield, played as sloppy as the marsh-like field. There was little spark to be found all night, and the few times The Crew threatened to score the chance was squandered.

Girls Can Also Pick Fights on the Pitch

See The Cup 08 October @ 01:53 PM EST

It seems the evolution of women's football in Brazil reached another stage. Female footballers can also put on a good and old fight on the pitch. It all happened in the match Cesmac 2 1 Sóesporte for the Alagoas state championship. The video is below. And no, don't expect just hairs being pulled or nails turned into weapons.

This season it is clear that Manchester City is the hungriest squad in all of the Premier League. Bringing in all of the top level talent that Man City has stocked up is scary for every other club in the league.

2009 LLTO La Liga Awards: Golden Boot Award

La Liga Report 12 August @ 07:18 AM EST

This is my favorite award to bestow, simply, because it involves no controversy or even extra work on my part.  The Golden Boot winner is not an opinion based award and is simply given to the best total goal scorer from 2008/2009.Â

Atletico Madrid's Diego Forlan was hands-down the best offensive player this year for any club other then Barcelona.

AC Milan fans are upset

The Beautiful Game (2) 07 July @ 02:23 PM EST
Apparently they're not over Kaka.
Especially the club's selling of the Brazilian star.
The team's first training session of the year proved the ideal time for 300 irate fans to protest. Weapons of choice? Smoke bombs and firecrackers.
Wild.
Fans held up a banner reading "Without compromise: Think of Milan first and then your own interests," along with signs criticizing club owner and Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.

Dani Alves Only Wants CL

Futbolita 18 May @ 01:19 AM EST


No, you haven't had too much to drink. It's really Dani Alves kissing a miniature Copa Del Rey trophy. And he's looking to add the Champions League to his list of achievements this year. Do they give miniature versions of that as well?

"I hope that the team will have a great game and close our season with this great title.

Welcome Richard

The Offside - Houston 15 April @ 09:12 AM EST

In a few days we will be 234 years removed from Paul Revere's famous "Midnight Ride" from Boston to Lexington warning the movements of the British Army. Now, centuries later, you might consider me a modern day Paul Revere. Put a lantern in the lighthouse, the British are coming again!

Although this time it isn't an army, it's just one guy.
