With five days left before the start of yet another Premier League season, I take a short look at all 20 teams competing in the 22nd edition of the Premier League. It may not cover everything in a lot of detail, but it’s a short preview, all teams are covered, with, hopefully, most of the key footballing points.

With the season getting ever closer, teams have began to add to their to squad, while letting go players. With the likes of Manchester City,…

FC Dallas 3 LA Galaxy 3 With both sides coming off a loss in their last outings and with the first two meeting between these…

In the usual curtain-raiser for the season ahead, Premier League winners Manchester United took on Wigan Athletic at Wembley. Two goals from Robin van Persie in either half handed the Red’s the win.

Every season, the UEFA Champions League takes place and brings fans across the world some of the best soccer action as top clubs with their world-class players clash for European glory. Beginning this past Wednesday, the CONCACAF Champions League began in our region.

The Premier League is upon us this weekend and after a long wait of no club football in the top flight of England and poor international performances from some of our youth levels, we are ready and excited! Change is all around us though managerial wise.

This season looks like the most exciting mid-table scramble in recent Premier League history, with any of 10 teams genuinely looking towards the coveted European places towards the…

Toronto FC 1 Seattle Sounders 2

The visitors extended their unbeaten run to four games, the last three being victories as they climbed into the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Mauro Rosales put them in front after 16 minutes and they doubled their advantage when Doneil Henry put through his own goal trying to cut out a cross 5 minutes before the break.

Whilst a Champions League triumph is probably still beyond Shakar Donetsk, if the Miner’s young, new additions continue to develop and gel as a unit, don’t be surprised to see Shaktar to go beyond their usual last 16 finish.

Bayern hung on well for victory – and overcame a tricky test in a Mönchengladbach side who, at least on this performance, have it in their locker to be there or thereabouts at the business end of the season.

It was a slow week of news in the football world, but we found some interesting topics to talk about!

Real Esteli 0 Sporting Kansas City 2

Sporting got their CONCACAF Champions League Group 2 campaign off to a winning start as they broke an international losing run which dated back to a win against Mexican side Santos Laguna in the quarterfinals of the 2002 CONCACAF Champions Cup with this success in Nicaragua.

The diverse nature of the Premier League means regular viewers get to admire some of the most prestigious players from across the globe. Such is…

Chicago Fire 0 DC United 2

The visitors may be rooted at the basement of the MLS Eastern Conference but they will be looking to claim their third US Open Cup triumph as they eased in the Final. Dwayne De Rosario set them on their way a minute before half-time when he capitalised on a handling error by the Fire Goalkeeper Sean Johnson who failed to deal properly with a deflected shot from Nick DeLeon.
