By now we have grown quite accustomed to watching the MLS game of the week on Thursday evenings on ESPN2. It gives us all an excuse to kick off the weekend early and to yell at Eric Wynalda. Our small little pleasure in life will not take place this Thursday night. There [...]
Underwater Soccer: Diving is allowed
By: Bob | 3 Comments
This week’s edition of odd games takes away from terra firma to the sea. Unlike Underwater Football, Underwater Hockey and Underwater Rugby, the sport of Underwater Soccer does not appear to have much of a following. Heck, it is not even recognized by the World Underwater Federation. What a travesty! As [...]

By: Bob | 1 Comment
Forget studying business or law, if you want to make the mondo bucks you need to major in football. A new report by the number crunchers at Deloitte shows that the average player in the English Premier League will earn £1.1million next year. That should do wonders for the auto industry.
Dutch Delight: Goals, Tricks and Babes from the 2006/2007 Eredivisie
By: Bob | 3 Comments
I’ll admit that I did a fairly lousy job covering the Dutch League this past season, but I promise that will change in the future. My change of heart has absolutely nothing to do with the female fans and cheerleaders in the video above. Nothing at all, I say.

She’s Free to Show her Boobs at Soccer Games Again
By: Bob | 3 Comments
When you think of a hardcore hooligan banned from attending football matches and international travel, your mind naturally pictures a 47-year-old mother flashing her boobs. Ok, maybe not, but the hooligan labeled was slapped on one 47-year-old mother after she ran onto the pitch topless during a match between MK Dons and Tranmere in [...]

I have a friend who went to Portugal a few years ago and all he came back with was a nasty venereal disease. Use protection, kids. His trip was slightly less productive than the one just completed by the Manchester United brain trust. The Red Devils have jumpstarted the summer transfer period [...]

While some soccer leagues around the world are less than keen to embrace the online video revolution (Yes, we’re looking at you English Premier League), the cool cats at Major League Soccer are following the lead of Chelsea and others by partnering with YouTube.
A Name to Remember: Andre Dede Ayew
By: Bob | 170 Comments
There are very few of us that ever have to follow in the footsteps of a legendary father. Heck, my dad has never blogged a day in his life so I have no pressure at all. Andre ‘Dede’ Ayew is not so lucky. The son of legendary Ghana star Abedi Pele has [...]

By: Bob | 6 Comments
Los Angeles Galaxy president Alexi Lalas has always been good for a laugh and this past week has been no exception. First he suggested that he could prevent David Beckham from appearing in matches for England that he deems non-competitive and now he has opened the door to the possibility that Becks could be [...]
FA Cup Fans Dump Beer on CNN Reporter, Steal His Microphone
By: Bob | 6 Comments
The FA Cup final between Manchester United and Chelsea a couple of weeks ago was a bore, but the action outside the stadium sure was fun. Nothing says ‘live television’ more than watching people dumping beer on a reporter’s head. It is too bad CNN doesn’t have a fancy Breaking News graphic for [...]

FIFA officially opened its new $196 million headquarters in Zurich on Tuesday in a fierce rainstorm, both literally and figuratively. Said Czar-for-Life Sepp Blatter: “The sky is touched with tears but we can live with that because football also has to live in all weather conditions and rain is a gift from heaven.”
Khano Smith Demonstrates how not to take a Free Kick
By: Bob | 6 Comments
The New England Revolution’s Khano Smith will make $44,100 this season. Normally I would feel sorry that a professional soccer player would make that little money, but after watching his free kick in the video above I have to believe that he is making $44,100 more than he should. The reaction from his [...]
