The One Who Specializes in Failure: Mourinho Sacked

It’s finally happened. After dismal performances on the pitch, characteristic histrionics in front of the microphone and on the sidelines, and amid flourishing rumors about his being sacked, Jose Mourinho, ‘The Special One,’ has been fired.

Kevin De Bruyne: City’s Favor, Chelsea’s Folly

To say a new signing is ‘a revelation’ is usually hyperbole. To say that of a player in Manchester City’s already star-studded lineup is perhaps even more rare. But at this point, if Kevin De Bruyne keeps up his scintillating form, he may just be worthy of the title ‘epiphany.’ At minimum, limiting ourselves to… Continue reading Kevin De Bruyne: City’s Favor, Chelsea’s Folly

Klopp Is Ready For The Kop

This is probably the 100th time you’ve seen some amalgamation of the last name of new Liverpool FC head coach Jurgen Klopp and the word Kop, referring to the most rabid section of Liverpool fans in Anfield’s Spion Kop.  After Brendan Rodgers was given his walking orders, the consensus became that free agent coach Klopp… Continue reading Klopp Is Ready For The Kop

Sunday, Oct. 4th: Massive Matchups Across Europe

In the pantheon of American consumption of professional sport and spectacle, the world of monster truck rallies is perhaps as far as possible from the expat pub culture of supporters for European football clubs. But with rivalry fixtures throughout Europe, this weekend at the very least, the oft-lampooned hyperbole of Sunday-Sunday-SUNDAY seems perfectly apt.
