Pep Guardiola Quits Barcelona, Plans Sabbatical
So it is now official. Josep ‘Pep’ Guardiola will step down in the summer and hand over the reins of FC Barcelona. As a player he made over 450 appearances for Barca between 1990 and 2001. As a manager he was appointed into his first ever position with the club in 2008 and swept to 13 trophies. [...]
TweetVideo: Bicycle Kick in Brazil Reveals Rivaldo 2.0
What Brazil has is something tantamount to a soccer conveyor belt. When the game changed to suit the power and size European football required, Brazil adapted accordingly. When big clubs started trawling South America for talents to commandeer, the Brazilians opened themselves up to it and smiled. The Brazilians have a mystique about them in [...]
TweetSo Nobody Minds that Munich Advanced Only on Penalties, then?
“Am I a good person?” David Foster Wallace once asked, continuing: “Deep down, do I even really want to be a good person, or do I only want to seem like a good person so that people (including myself) will approve of me? Is there a difference? How do I ever actually know whether I’m [...]
TweetBREAKING: Pep Guardiola May Quit Barcelona
It has been scheduled for Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola to meet the press and explain his plans for the future on Friday.

TweetAfter Tense Penalty Shoot-Out Bayern Munich Must Be Champions League Favorites
Watching the Champions League semi-final between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid was a bizarre experience. The match had everything. As described by some overzealous purists it was a first half of liquid soccer. Passes were pushed into space where a flying attacker would materialize. Cristiano Ronaldo was afforded the miniscule gap from which he could [...]
TweetBayern Munich Downs Real Madrid To Advance To Champions League Finals
In a game where it went horribly wrong for 14 minutes, Bayern Munich had a choice. Give up, already having lost their one goal advantage, or dig in and fight back. Bayern chose the latter, and what transpired could not have been scripted. Real Madrid came out and took it to the Bavarian side, scoring [...]
TweetHave John Terry and Chelsea Matured?
It seems bizarre to suggest that a player red carded in the UEFA Champions League semi final is mature and a great leader, but somehow, some way that is what is playing out here. It is an interesting scenario because Chelsea, under new leadership in the guise of Roberto Di Matteo after Andre Villas-Boas was [...]
TweetChampions League Semifinal Preview: Bayern Munich At Real Madrid
Anything can happen, right? That’s what Bayern Munich will be telling themselves tonight as they set to go into one of the toughest places to play a football match, Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, Spain. Bayern more than knows they can do it, one day after Chelsea stunned Barcelona in the other semifinal. Bayern comes in with [...]
TweetCamp Nou? More Like Camp Blue!—and Other Gems from “Watching” Chelsea v. Barcelona on Twitter
Wow. Just… wow. This afternoon’s Chelsea-Barcelona game, which saw Chelsea (somehow) squeak through to the Champions League final, was perhaps the most dramatic game in the Blues’ recent years—definitely the most dramatic game I’ve seen since the 2010 World Cup. Well, rather, it would be, if I had actually seen it. I was one of [...]
TweetThing Are Tight In the Race For Champions League Soccer, but Will Newcastle or Spurs Finish Fourth in the EPL?
