This World Cup was supposed to be different. This was supposed to be the one where England made its mark on the international stage and finally eclipsed that win back in 1966. But after two draws from two games, England is staring down the barrel of an early exit, and with [...]

It is almost impossible for me to go anywhere and meet anyone who isn’t at least a little interested in the United States Men’s National Team’s opening game against England in the World Cup this Saturday.
I have taken part in countless arguments, discourses and friendly discussions about the Yanks chances on Saturday [...]

Gone were the shock call-ups of the past (Theo Walcott in 2006 anyone?) as the manager appears to be placing his faith in those [...]

May 26th, 2010 Kevin Koczwara By Cameron Dickinson of The National Game
A typical English friendly performance saw Fabio Capello’s side secure victory, but in unconvincing fashion, throwing up more questions than answers.
Goals from Ledley King, Peter Crouch and Glen Johnson were enough to see off a spirited Mexico side that showed enough craft to cause the home side’s shaky defense [...]

May 12th, 2010 Kevin Koczwara By Mark Duckworth of The National Game
So the dust has settled on another Premier League campaign, and the attention will turn to South Africa and England as they look for glory. But before we get to June 11, Fabio Capello has some choices to make and with the announcement of Capello’s 30 man squad today, [...]

March 5th, 2010 Kevin Koczwara By Kevin Koczwara
There is no substitute for depth in professional soccer. Skill can overcome some hard-ache, and hard-work can definitely make up for a lack of skill, but nothing can make up for a deep bench in the long grueling seasons of soccer. Many teams in the English Premier league are seeing some of their [...]

February 8th, 2010 Kevin Koczwara By Kevin Koczwara
It wasn’t a game for the faintest of heart or the admirers of the “beautiful game,” but one thing the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton at Anfield did have was drama.
The game lacked a good amount of skill–especially in the first half–but it didn’t lack passion. The game was not only a [...]

Liverpool Lose in Florence
It is a staggering scoreline: Liverpool 0-2 Fiorentina.
Rafa Benetiz cannot explain it. Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard cannot understand or defend it. As for the defense, they have looked like Babe in the Big City all year long–they have one clean sheet, a 5-0 win against the struggling attack of [...]
