Posted on 22 Jan, 2013, by in Soccer

There seem to be quite a lot of needs Arsenal and Arsene Wenger need to address as the club sinks to lows they haven’t experienced in quite some time; one of them is finding a dominant defensive midfielder. Victor Wanyama of Celtic might be the man to fill the position. More

Manchester United – The David de Gea Problem

Posted on 22 Jan, 2013, by in Soccer

Instead of losing to Tottenahm, Manchester United managed a draw despite being pinned back for most of the match. That doesn’t stop many from blaming David de Gea, who was fantastic for most of the match, for not coming away with the 3 points. More

The Rise of Viktor Fischer (Ajax vs Feyenoord)

Posted on 21 Jan, 2013, by in Soccer

Great players don’t always arrive on the scene when they’re young, but it looks like Viktor Fischer, the 18 year old Danish rising star of Ajax, is one of those who likes to make an impression early on, scoring twice in the 3-0 win over Feyenoord in his first Klassieker. More

Suddenly, it’s all about goalkeepers when it comes to Barcelona, who have been solid and unworried with that position for about a decade.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Presents Perfection

Posted on 21 Jan, 2013, by in Soccer

When pressed against the wall, Real Madrid usually come up with their best. It’s happened more than once this season, and on a tough away test in Valencia, with Cristiano Ronaldo giving us simply a performance of the highest quality, it came to be once again with a devastating 5-0 first half. More

Robin van Persie Goal

Manchester United – Robin van Persie and Nothing More

Posted on 21 Jan, 2013, by in Soccer

If you’re a Manchester United fan, you’re probably mostly pleased about what some called a heroic performance, a display of champions, in the snow, hanging on to a Robin van Persie goal for 65 minutes only to concede and equalizer on the last minute of extra time. For the rest, those looking for flaws, it was a timid and reserved exhibition from one-man team. More

Olivier Giroud

Arsenal FC – Still Playing the Terrible Olivier Giroud

Posted on 21 Jan, 2013, by in Soccer

Matches upon matches of no goals from his French striker haven’t convinced Arsene Wenger that Olivier Giroud is a failure, and won’t be the answer to his scoring problems. Instead of letting Theo Walcott play the way he wants, he keeps relying on someone who is proving again and again that scoring goals isn’t his best quality. More

Juan Mata

Chelsea FC – Juan Mata A Level Above the Rest

Posted on 21 Jan, 2013, by in Soccer

For almost an entire half, under heavy snow falling down from the London skies, Chelsea looked like the dream team someone envisioned them to be earlier this season. Not Eden Hazard, not Fernando Torres and not Oscar were responsible for the blitz, the speed and flair. It all began and ended with Juan Mata and Ramires. More

Valencia vs Real Madrid

La Liga – Valencia vs Real Madrid Predictions

Posted on 20 Jan, 2013, by in Soccer

As always with Real Madrid, the off-field drama is just as interesting, maybe even more, than the actual matches they play, especially with the title so far out of reach. Still, their visit to Valencia, the second in a three-games-in-one-week between the two clubs, is more than just Jose Mourinho stirred conflicts. More

Premier League – Tottenham vs Manchester United Predictions

Posted on 20 Jan, 2013, by in Soccer

Since losing to Tottenham in the early days of the 2012-2013 season, Manchester United have dropped only 5 points on an incredible run seeing them take a firm grasp of the Premier League’s leaders position. This is a chance for Spurs to get a very rare double over United, and cement their place in the race for a Champions League spot and maybe even the top 3. More
