  • The Wonderful Christmas and New Year’s Period in the Premier League

    While every league in Europe takes a break, in England Christmas means more football, not less. The Premier League goes into their usual end of year marathon, playing four league matches in under two weeks. If you’re planning on a Christmas vacation that doesn’t involve ski but prefer more Urban thrills and plenty of goals, London and England are the place for you.

  • Champions League Knockout Stage Draw

    Both Real Madrid (vs CSKA) and Barcelona (vs Leverkusen) drew comfortable team, while the Anglo Italian clashes of Chelsea – Napoli and Milan – Arsenal will be the most intriguing matches in the 2011-2012 Champions League knockout stage.

  • Trying to Predict Pacquiao vs Marquez

    Manny Pacquiao comes in to his third fight with Juan Manuel Marquez with nearly everyone thinking he’s gonna clean the floor with the Lightweight champion. The road to a hopeful fight with Floyd Mayweather goes through a win here, but Marquez, like in the two previous fights, won’t be easy to overcome.

  • Trying to Predict Mayweather vs Ortiz

    Few people can sell a fight like Floyd Mayweather Jr. and it’s no wonder he’s got his own promotion company, just like Oscar De La Hoya. In the ring? He’s just that good, probably even better. Too good, in my opinion, for the WBC Welterweight champion, Victor Ortiz.

  • Manchester United and the Rest (Sort of a Preview for the 2011-2012 Premier League)

    Alex Ferguson is not alone with his hunches and feeling this year, just before the first weekend of Premier League football kicks off.

After the Community Shield second half performance, with Wayne Rooney, Nani and Javier Hernandez, Chicharito from now on, Fergie’s looks set to rule Manchester for another year and make it 20 league titles for Manchester United this season.

  • Back to Nadal – Federer or is Djokovic Ready to win Wimbledon?

    The three headed monster that leads the ATP rankings – Nadal, Djokovic and Federer will probably spawn the next Wimbledon winner as expected. Who and how? That’s a matter of taste and opinion.

  • Players With Something to Prove in the 2011-2012 Season

    Bad seasons, disappointing finishes or certain goals unmet, these 5 players have quite a burden and expectation load on their shoulders heading into the 2011-2012 season.

  • Between a New Season, New Champs and the Dreaded NBA Lockout

    Two weeks away before the lockout officially starts. The wonderful 2011 NBA Playoffs still in my mind, and can’t help but thinking about next year. Mostly about LeBron James and the Heat and how the summer will change things there, but the Bulls, Lakers, Tunder and of course the new champs are also there and here. If we don’t have a lockout.

  • Are you Pondering What I’m Pondering About the 2011-2012 Season?

    With the 2012 Euro qualifiers taking place, my mind drifts to August 2011, when the European soccer season comes back. It’s been just over a week, and I miss it already.

  • Federer and Nadal, an Argument of Brain vs Heart

    A clear mind says Rafael Nadal is going to beat Roger Federer on clay, as usual, to claim his sixth Roland Garros title. Something, I don’t exactly know what, is clouding that judgment and pointing towards Federer’s 17th Slam title.
