    Looks like Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon is supposedly stepping down tommorow after allegations of swinging board member votes during a vote of confidence during Real's rough stretch which saw former manager Bernd Schuster lose his job late last year.

    2010 Winter Classic

    This would be a great idea to be held as an annual event. It would really bring some much needed popularity back to the NHL as ESPN ignores the sport almost altogether.

    Is anyone else astounded by the apparent 107 million pound Man City offer for Kaka' ? To me it is unbelievable that Man City, let alone any team would be willing to spend that much money in this current economic time on just one player. But then again the owners of the club are absolutely...

    Toronto also throws streamers at opposing teams during corner kicks and I believe Houston does it as well. I think any player will take streamers being thrown at them rather than being a U.S international playing at Costa Rica and being either spit on or having bags of urine thrown on you...

    great points, not to mention the EPL is well represented in the UCL every year which you can't say year in year out for other leagues. Mexes is a little bitch, has he ever been called up by Domenech ? When I think of hard challenges I immediately think of Essien and the atrocious tackle...

    Is the EPL known for its rough and hard challenges ? or am I just making that up ? because I swear I've read that somewhere before. Well Rio and John Terry are certainly on the taller side but isn't Germany known for their tall central defenders as well ? Because they had some big boys for...

    I agree completely, Defenders in the EPL seem to play a lot more physical not only with their on ball marking but off the ball as well. Just an observation but to me at times it looks like the EPL has defenders that are bigger in stature as well. Can't believe that Rooney scores in the 1st...

    But like I said, that were if I had to CHOOSE a team right now and it would mostly be because of Messi alone. Yeah I watch pretty much all of their games but if he doesnt play I would much rather watch a good EPL, Serie A, La Liga or Bundesliga matchup with top teams in those leagues involved...

    It can be True while watching EPL matches that they are boring, but I'm convinced that the defenses in that league are far superior to all other leagues bar none. When I watch Serie A or La Liga it seems like teams allow you to bring the ball up unchallenged and allow you all the space in the...

    Let's hope for some cold weather so we can freeze out those Mexicans, not that we need any help anyways but it could surely help us get 3 pts.

    I had no idea how in the hell Rugby works but I found myself watching the Rugby World Cup last year fairly often, quite an interesting sport that is very similar to football here except without ANY pads which is crazy. I have a lot of respect for people who play professional rugby.

    American's think the sport is boring because they don't score 10 goals a game, they need instant gratification (goals) and a fast up and down the field paced game with scoring chances galore (like hockey). Of course the English variant is the standard, how could it NOT be ? the announcers speak...

    Great assesment, If Man U can keep up their current run of good form (minus last weeks Derby carling cup match) they very well could take home the league title once again. It will be interesting to see, however how they respond to a hectic schedule with the Carling Cup and the FA Cup but I feel...

    it's strange that Liverpool are at the top while having Torres injured virtually the whole time and Robbie Keane only scoring what 4-5 league goals ? Even though I don't consider myself a fan of the Reds I still kinda want them to end their league drought. It's wild to think that a club with as...

    Chelsea were absolutely lifeless throughout the match, Man U alway's had the edge and they were really in control for a majority of the time. Can't stress how big a win that is for the Red Devils as they have played 2 less games than everybody and are only 1 pt behind Chelsea and 5 behind...

    Manchester United beats Chelsea 3 to 0. Big win for Man U as they go 5 pts behind first place with 2 less games played. It appears Zenit have turned down Arsenal's offer for Arshavin once again and apparently Man City may be moving in to hijack the player with a higher bid.

    how many all-star games has Lidstrom participated in now ? it seems like he's there every year representing the wings. As for Datsyuk, is there anybody in the league playing better than him right now ? he's playing incredible now not only getting assists (nothing new) but he's been scoring a lot...

    Not to mention that Arshavin has stated that he will quit the club this summer if he doesn't end up somewhere else during the January window. Sounds like Arsenal are trying to get him (no offer in place I believe as of yet) but Zenit are taking the same stand as they did in August and are asking...

    Anybody dare to pick the result of Sunday's crucial fixture of Manchester United vs. Chelsea from the Theatre of Dreams ? Is anyone else surprised by Aston Villa being currently in 4th place ? or is it just the pitiful inconsistency from the Gunners ?
