I like the benefit of the doubt. Often times I give it for absolutely no reason at all. I’d like to believe that Uruguay’s Oli is secretly part canine and the Swiss keeper was emitting a high-pitched shriek which only Oli could hear and be pained by. Or maybe, as some have ...

It’s Thanksgiving Day here in the United States,

Quick: name the last three Asian Player of the Year winners.
You can’t, can you? One maybe? I managed last year’s winner Djeparov, but my spelling was suspect and I only knew the name because of his ridiculous mullet-cum-bangs. The last three is merely an exercise in futility. And ...

I gather I speak for many, if not most, when I say that seeing the best teams in the knockout stages is preferable – ’tis the Champions League after all.
But I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t thrilled at the prospect of not having to hear the British media bang on ...

Remember when Diego left Werder Bremen for Juventus, and we wondered if young Mesut Özil was really capable of filling the gap left by the Brazilian? Well, the answer is yes. See the highlights of Werder’s 6-0 ...

Presumably you’ve heard the scoreline already, if only because you can read headlines. That thrashing, the second worst in Premier League history, which will serve to haunt Wigan from now until the end of time. Made all the more insane in that five of the goals came via the boot of ...

First, a confession: I kind of love Ipswich Town manager and former Ireland captain Roy Keane. (Even though he terrifies me.) But I was glad it wasn’t my cell phone going off in the middle of a press conference this week. Because let’s face it: the man is a bit…oh, [...]
