Arsenal should be in the Championship. If footy bloggers ruled the universe. Brazil's search for the country's sexiest fan. Italy's all-refugee football club. Didier Drogba flings currency into the crowd. Japan's no country for second-string players. Derek Parlane McQueen: The biggest name in football Steven Appiah's gone from the pitch to the courtroom.

If you've missed me, sorry. I've been reading and following football, just not post due to laziness related to being sick. Anyway. There's no way I'm going to catch up, so moving on. Here's an unrelated picture of Carlos Vela and Nicklas Bendter from that great Carling Cup match. Yeah, I'll admit it, I like Nick's thighs. Click to continue reading...

Serious bloggers actually blog immediately after the game.

The rest of us go to Oktoberfest.

Game story from a Galaxy perspective.

The United view.

By the way, David Beckham had yet another sub-par game complete with errant passes, petulant behavior and little creativity.

Man, Italian soccer is gonna be good all year for soccer bloggers. Click to continue reading...

No offense to the celebrities that we've interviewed over the past few years for EPL Talk, but sometimes the best stories are from the actual fans themselves, like yourself. If you're a regular reader to EPL Talk, you've read hundreds if not thousands of words from the fingertips of myself and the team of bloggers on [. Click to continue reading...

If your head is spinning like mine is from all of the Premier League news from the past 48 hours, maybe it's time to get back to reality and read some interesting posts about other football leagues other than the Premiership. Here are just a few of the excellent articles penned by the other bloggers [. Click to continue reading...

Whilst thumbing through The Ball is Round: A Global History of Soccer in bed the other night, I wondered to myself "when is someone going to do the first book about Becks in America?". With Europe's bookshelves already rammed full of books about our David it was only a matter of time before someone got in the act over on this side of world. Click to continue reading...

I read plenty... online. Books? Not so much.

But the cleverly named Max Deale sent me a copy of a publication that sounded intriguing and original.

It's called 'Sold out, So what?' and it's the grassroots guide to not only getting in to all the events you want, but also at a price that all us empty-pocketed bloggers can enjoy. Click to continue reading...

I think, more than anything else, I started blogging about football because I wanted to post player ratings. I think it's because I like reading other people's player ratings so much myself. At the start of this new season, I offer a few words about the Wicked Deflection Player Ratings.

To resolve my concern that the player ratings, on a scale of 1 to 10, commonly used by journalists, bloggers, and fans have no footing, I wrote a player-rating guide. Click to continue reading...

Yes, I know it is inevitable, but I had to be like all the other bloggers this time of year and post my predictions for the coming Premier League season. Frankly, I can't be bothered to go through each team, analyse their transfers, manager and players, before writing 2-3 paragraphs on how they will do. Click to continue reading...

Aye aye all. Well, it's the morning after the night before. If you're a Rangers fan you've probably had as much hassle by Celtic fans and the national media as you can take. Criticising Rangers after their dismal performance is easy fodder for lazy bloggers, which is exactly the reason why Inside Left is going [. Click to continue reading...

It seems like it's going to be another slow week for Wizards news. We have the rumors of the potential trade to fill Scott Sealy's roster spot, as well as waiting on the renderings of the Wizards stadium to be released. But nothing of any real substance to touch on. But isn't there news to report on, how serious is Wolff's injury? Click to continue reading...

Several folks have commented on the deadness of this blog. Many apologies! But the good news is that we're bringing the blog back to life, better than ever.

From here on out, I'm going to be joined on this page by three co-bloggers who I think will be able to provide interesting, insightful and somewhat irreverent commentary on our beloved team.

As everyone has undoubtedly heard by now, Landon Donovan has made noise about leaving the small pond that is MLS for a foreign destination, with the English Premier League being the presumed destination.

Donovan does this occasionally -- discussing his chances in Europe with the press, that is. Click to continue reading...

Blancogate has moved into a new dimension and possibly into a court of law.

As you remember, after Blanco went bezerk we posted a video from a local TV news segment on the game which was subsequently removed from Youtube by MLS under false assumptions. The video was later reinstated but it raised serious issues. Click to continue reading...

If you haven't stumbled across it already I highly recommend taking a look at the 84th minute. This new e-zine, put together by Neil Zimmerman of Victory in Melbourne, looks good and Neil has roped in quote a few other bloggers to help him with content.

---
Victory have finally released details of probably the worst kept secret in A-League history (I know it is only a short history) when it confirmed the signing of Costa Rican international José Luis López Ramírez (Pupy Lopez). Click to continue reading...

There's a new kid on the block of Australian football sites: The 84th Minute. Neil Zimmerman, who's also responsible for Victory in Melbourne, is behind the new site, which is set to cover the latest football analysis, interviews with bloggers, and news about the local game. To get the site rolling, there's a few articles already: Will [. Click to continue reading...

The bloggers to take over what me and Sam built are here and they are not taking any prisoners. They have already knocked down the door with endless enthusiasm, rearing to go... so i will take a back seat to the new drivers of the best blog on the offside and just enjoy the ride. I am already starting to like Robert, he has got spunk.

Wow. Nothing like a little controversy to help egg on what has become the biggest rivalry in MLS. What I do like though is that several DC fans have invaded the Fire's big-media blog, but no intelligible Fire fans have dared to opine on a similar post in the Insider.

I'm not going to write too much about the game itself because I once again did not witness it like some bloggers, nor did I tune into the radio like others. Click to continue reading...

Every year, mass media organizations such as Sky Sports, the BBC and The Guardian are scooped by a small band of football bloggers who leak photographs of new, never seen before football kits sometimes months before they're officially unveiled to the public. The race to be the first to post these rare pictures has become an [. Click to continue reading...

This is my 101st post, and it's just to say "Good bye!"  I started this blog to keep track of my articles and reviews for ESPN.com's Soccernet, eventually expanding to mild analysis and poor punditry, all while making connections and forming online and "real life" friendships with some very amazing bloggers and journos around the world.

I had the best of intentions for this Daily Dose. But it seems that most other soccer bloggers are taking the July 4 holiday off. Nothin' going on out there but several millions unsubstantiated transfer rumors. And I started to give you those links, but I....um.... aisyegiuahogiaoijoi;ioooooooooooooooooooozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Sorry. Click to continue reading...

Los bloggers de Futblog Mexicano acaban de publicar una encuesta muy interesante, sobretodo por las fechas en que lo hacen, digo, podría aventurarme a decir que ningún equipo de la Primera División Mexicana esta completo, embalado y menos, por obvias razones, enrachado. De hecho, la mayoría de los equipos son una incógnita hoy en día para sus aficionados, [. Click to continue reading...

I don't play video games. I've never owned a gaming system, nor have I ever wanted one. Online Literati is about all I'm capable of.

But from what I understand, soccer video games are huge. A lot of people use "Football Manager" as a way to judge players, and there is even a section of the Offside devoted to video games.

Ok guys, I had to work this morning so this is a really late post. It's almost 9 pm in England. The readers in Australia will think this post is tomorrow's, but there will be a new one then too.

The podcast is really going to be picking up here soon. I've got a new co-host lined up, Joaquin from Los Angeles. Click to continue reading...

The blogging doesn't stop after Euro 2008. Here on World Cup Blog we're going to follow World Cup 2010 qualification closely and we'd love to have as many teams covered as possible. And that means we're looking for team bloggers to join our community. If there's a national team you want Click to continue reading...

It was just brought to my attention that about a week ago one of the bloggers at the Guardian did a piece on Rivaldo. You can read it here. It's a strange article really, often lapsing into the past tense, as if, in the author's opinion, the Rivaldo he remembers isn't playing anymore, [...] Click to continue reading...
