4/5 Recap: It seems the Europa League has surpassed its big brother in terms of unpredictability. Arsenal ran riot in the first half, scoring 4 in 35 minutes. CSKA got an away goal, but that won't matter heading back to Russia. In my other pick, I thought I was golden when Salzburg netted an equalizer...
3/31 Recap: My Saturday started off well with a Liverpool victory, thanks mostly to Christian Benteke not being able to hit the broad side of a barn. But then my picks began and everything fell apart. Sevilla cruised through 88 minutes against Barcelona, holding a 2-0 advantage. Then they went full-PSG and gave up two...
3/15 Recap: I'm still in disbelief. Yesterday I picked two Europa League matches and didn't lose my shirt. In fact, I actually came out in the positives for the first time ever picking European competitions. Red Bull Salzburg and Marseille both advanced. I hit on all but one of my props. Other than Athletic Bilbao...
3/13 Recap- The second verse, and third in this case, is the same as the first. I can not pick the Champions League to save my life. Shakhtar squandered every chance they had before going down to ten men. Roma's away goal proved the difference in the end as the Giallorossi advanced on a 2-2...
Few European teams have less hype surrounding them than PSG this season. The Ligue 1 giants finished second in the league this past season and saw how AS Monaco clinched the title. But they were determined to avoid that scenario for a second straight year. And they went ahead to improve the roster in the transfer...
Neymar is arguably the third best player in the world. There's Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and then him. His exploits make him a cult figure for both Brazil and Barcelona. Every time he steps on the pitch, there is a chance something magical is about to occur. Yet each summer we keep having the same...
There's no question Monaco have been the biggest surprise in Europe this season. The French side is alive on the Ligue 1 title race, but they have excelled in Europe as well. Monaco eliminated Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, and will fight Juventus for a berth on the Final. One might ask -...
Paris Saint-Germain haven't been a European footballing power for very long. Some may still say that the Parisians aren't in the class of the other elite clubs just yet. But the three-time defending Ligue 1 champions are on a mission this year, and the final end result is hopefully an unprecedented French quadruple. They had...
New Year's Day is a two pronged celebration for football fans worldwide. Not only is it the new year, it is the opening of the January transfer window. While the majority of big transfer business is done in the summer, the January transfer window allows teams to address pressing needs as well as solidifying their squad...
Bottom of the table Caen get a win over mid-table Reims to bring them within two points of safety. Only St. Ettienne dropped points in the top five teams, while Lille continues to be unimpressive. Let's get to the games: Bordeaux (1) - Nice (2) http://gty.im/461640440 Nice continue their winning ways in 2015 with a come from behind victory. Bordeaux...
