Here's what I found interesting today: -Livorno director Elio Signorelli assumed some responsibility for Livorno's relegation to Serie B. Why? Because he was the one that chose Livorno's strikeforce over the summer. He said that he was sure th ...

ESPN Euro 2008 Schedule Announced

By chris | May 9th, 2008

This will be the first year the European Championships are broadcast live in the United States, on that miniature network called ESPN (or something), which is a fairly newsworthy happening for a country trying to further immerse itself in the beautif ...

POST GAME: Its a tie : RBNY 1 - TFC 1

By Dave Martinez | May 1st, 2008

So my prediction was only half right. The Bulls take one away from the surging Maple Leafs, with a well earned point on the road. They really did well in keeping possession and putting on pressure - but the finishing was completely ghost. MAN ...

By Ted | March 6th, 2008

Just a quick note today as we all look forward to the big UEFA Cup match v. Everton…. As an American sports fan (and not just a fan of soccer), I often go to the ESPN website to get my general sports news. For those of you who do not live in the Unit

What Ged Sez: Houllier on ESPN SportsCenter

By Inara | February 15th, 2008

This interview is actually a couple of weeks old, and I kept on meaning to post it, but better late than never, right? Janusz Michallik, who is quite possibly the only tolerable soccer analyst at ESPN, talked to Gerard Houllier about his time at Lyon

Pan-Pacific Tournament (and Other ESPN Games) Available Online!

By Laurie | February 12th, 2008

This is exciting. (And this is me being absolutely serious here.) I already mentioned that the Pan-Pacific Tournament is available on ESPN Classic. Problem is, I don't think that's a part of my cable package. I just discovered, though, that ESPN

By Inara | December 5th, 2007

This is a good week to be a French football fan. ESPN, America's Premiership ass licker, will be broadcasting both Marseille vs. Liverpool and Rangers vs. Lyon. Yes, that's right. Back to back live coverage of not just one but two French football tea

Tommy Smyth Needs to Shut His Big Fat Mouth

By Inara | November 28th, 2007

GRRR. I hate Tommy Smyth. He's one of the few soccer analysts for ESPN, the nation's largest sports broadcaster - and horrifyingly, people actually listen to what he says. In fact, he's the main reason why most Americans are illiterate about soccer. He se

Pressure ESPN to Run the US U-20 Games

By Laurie | July 9th, 2007

I'm taking a break from my usual search for trivial Galaxy matters and Beckham-related trash (because, seriously, how can you top a diamond-encrusted vibrator? Unless, of course, somebody could link me to photos) to discuss serious soccer stuff. Did a

By Andy | February 18th, 2007

You are probably wondering why I have used a picture of Cinderella's castle at Disney's Magic Kingdom in this article. Well all will be revealed shortly. Firstly Chelsea beat Norwich City at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup and I have to admit the 4-0
