JoeMeloni Liverpool In Transit
August 4th, 2010 Kevin Koczwara By Kevin Koczwara
News coming from Liverpool’s home base, Anfield, hasn’t usually been the most uplifting news for a few years now. Owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks took on an investment too big for their bite that only got worse after the global economy tanked. Investors have come and gone in droves. Players have been [...]
Hodgson’s Huge Task as Liverpool Manager
July 1st, 2010 Kevin Koczwara By Kevin Koczwara
To say that Liverpool had a disappointing season last year is an understatement. The team was horrible for most, if not all, of the Premier League season and the Champions League. The club finished in an unprecedented seventh place and did not make it out of group play in the Champions League.
What made [...]

June 21st, 2010 Kevin Koczwara By Mark Duckworth of The National Game
“We’ve seen it all before” the famous line from the England football song Three Lions, and on Friday night that is what we got as England stumbled to a nil-nil draw with Algeria in Cape Town.
The impressive table mountain provides the back drop to Cape Town and with [...]

June 14th, 2010 Kevin Koczwara By Kevin Koczwara and Ryan Fleming
The United States and England was the Yanks and Americans biggest hyped game in a long time. Media outlets and fans were talking about it as if we were back in 1778 and Americans were fighting for their independence again — independence from comparisons on the soccer field/football pitch. And [...]

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 [...]

June 2nd, 2010 Kevin Koczwara By Cameron Dickinson of The National Game
All the speculation finally ended at 3 p.m. yesterday when Fabio Capello put the nation out of its misery by naming the 2010 World Cup squad.
