First thing I want to say is thank you, everyone for the absolutely amazing response [...]

Are you bored of the Landon Donovan vs David Beckham catfight yet? I’m not. In fact, I think seeing these two air their arguments in public was the one and only thing that could have made the “Beckham in Los Angeles” story interesting again.
Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll look back and realize it was [...]

By: Laurie | 9 Comments
The numbers are out. Guess who the #1 highest-paid footballer is? You’ll never guess.
I’ll give you a hint. Plays in MLS. Has a “pop-star” wife. Made an estimated $49 million last year, of which only $12 million came from actually playing the game. ($6.5 million of that from [...]

By: Laurie | 7 Comments
According to Forbes.com, the average EPL player made $2.2 million last year. And what did he spend it on?
Expensive toys.
And it’s not just the EPL guys, either. Highly-paid players all over are coughing up cash for the grownup versions of Hot Wheels.
So what kind of vehicles do some of our richest [...]
Category: World FootballThe Austrian Beckham Sinks AEK Athens
By: chris | No Comments
You just knew something like this would happen. After AEK was “stripped” of its title unjustly because the worst team in the league fielded an ineligible player against big, bad Olympiacos, they were forced into a European spot playoff (much like the one the KNVB just scrapped). So they had the first leg today against [...]

I’m no fan of Beckhamania, as you can tell by today’s Pic of the Day, but with Laurie on vacation, I would be terribly remiss if I didn’t post a completely inappropriate, utterly hilarious video of Da Ali G interviewing the Beckhams a few years back. I’d guess around cap #63 or so, and back [...]

Category: World FootballThe Best Relationships Football Has To Offer
By: chris | 4 Comments
Football is a global sport, one which cultivates relationships of all shapes, colors and sizes. Off the field fans come together by having a similar passion, but the bonds can become much stronger on the field, between those involved with the game itself. So in honor of Valentine’s Day we’d like to offer up some [...]
Football Players Make Money

I know, revolutionary reporting, huh. Sports Illustrated put up their annual list of top earning athletes, separating it into two separate categories: Americans and Non-Americans. (You know, being an American publication and all.) Not surprisingly, soccer players didn’t get a whiff of the Top 50 on the domestic list. However, they dominated the international list, [...]

Steve McClaren Says We’re Ruining Beckham
By: Laurie | 10 Comments
According to former England coach Steve McClaren, MLS should feel guilty. Our crime? Ruining David Beckham for international play.
Apparently we are so sub-standard over here that he’ll soon be fit for nothing. Particularly not for England. Because, y’know, they’re so good. And because if someone’s skills decline, age [...]
