2 USA V TRINIDAD & TOBAGO 0 • What words can I use to describe tonight’s Trinidad & Tobago team? Slow, disorganized, intimidated, scared, weak, clumsy, inaccurate, sloppy, disappointing, and… opposing, I guess. This performance is one tiny notch above Barbados, MAYBE. They’re playing so poorly, it’s hard to tell how bad our defense is. [...]

I wrote a post last Thursday (and by wrote I mean a late night rant) about the FIFA World Rankings and specifically Mexico’s jump over the United States. The story found its way onto the Big Soccer Forums and even got a response article from Edgar of Lucruri Neinteresante. In true internet-tough-guy fashion, the Big [...]

Mexico jumped from 32nd to 24th, over the United States which is currently 28th. So let me get this straight. Since the last World Rankings, Mexico has only played world [...]

Monchengladbach is trying to strengthen the midfield to stay in the Bundesliga. I was a little frustrated with Bradley during the Olympics due to his on-the-pitch decisions, but this [...]

Scandal ridden Man City owner Thaksin Shinawatra has signed a memorandum of understanding with Abu Dhabi United Group. The deal will give the new owners majority ownership [...]

WHAT THE? is my weekly Premiership review with only the interesting events that should not have happened in the first place. Chelsea and Tottenham tied 1-1. This is a tough one. Do we praise Tottenham for picking up a point against Chelsea or slam Chelsea for dropping 2 points to a lame Tottenham team? I [...]
