4/15 Recap: So much for putting your best foot forward. Roma and Real Madrid were able to get beneficial results for themselves, but in the process screw me over. Roma and Lazio, eternal enemies, put forth maybe the most boring match of 2018 not involving Atletico Madrid with a lead. Two whole shots made it...
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 in...
3/17 Results: For those non-alcoholics, Saturday was St. Patrick's Day. In other words, it's National "Let's Drink Until We Pass Out On The Floor Like Chalk Outlines" Day here in the States. I was no exception. Throw in Liverpool's beatdown of Watford, even if the Hornets couldn't do me the service of putting at least...
3/8 Recap: So I didn't get completely shut out by the Europa League, but it didn't do me the favors I hoped it would. The goals came, and thankfully so, in the Lazio/Dynamo contest, but the spoils were split. Zenit laid an absolute egg in Leipzig, even if a late goal gave me a half-hearted...
As we all know, the European footballing schedule never ends. Nary a day goes by that one or more of the leagues from across the Atlantic have at least one game running, whether it be a cup, league game, or even a friendly match. And oh yeah, there is this tournament coming up in the summer...
Michy Batshuayi has done it again, people. The Belgian striker is quickly becoming a deadly scorer for Borussia Dortmund, and he is taking advantage of every chance he has with the Bundesliga giants. Batshuayi has three goals in his first two Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund and added two more during Thursday's UEFA Europa League tie against...
Leon Goretzka must be one of the hottest names in the soccer rumor mill in Europe right now. The Schalke 04 star and current Germany international has risen to stardom over the past 12 months. He was an integral piece of Germany's title run in the 2017 Confederations Cup. He also seems a lock to be...
Borussia Dortmund should be one of the most exciting teams in Europe next season. "The Yellow Bees" have endured the loss of important players in recent years, but somehow they have managed to stay relevant. And that should be the case again in the 2017-18 campaign. Dortmund has lost players such as Robert Lewandowski, Henrikh Mkhitaryan,...
Hakan Calhanoglu is a talented player, one who can create something out of nothing in the final third. In case you haven't heard about him, he's a 23-year-old attacking midfielder who plays for Turkey and Bayer Leverkusen. Many experts consider Calhanoglu as one of the top talents in the Bundesliga. And some believe he could be...
Bayern Munich is unquestionably one of the biggest clubs in European football. The Bavarian giants have dominated the German Bundesliga. They get whatever German international they want when they want. However, in recent years Bayern has struggled for success in Europe. By struggle, of course, I mean that they've made three Champions League semi-finals and...
