Jekyll and Hide: Guy Bailey on the Three Lions EURO Campaign, and Becks Return?
By Guy Bailey Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish writer but his text on schizophrenia – the strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde – was acted pitch perfectly by an England team in the space of 96 hours. Firstly, they dismantled an admitedly limited Bulgarian team in their own house on Friday with [...]
Puck’s Saturday In America: Previewing the Champions League Group Stages Edition
By Puck Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back into the Happy Hour. Or, more appropriately- Saturday in America– where there is nothing better to do than crack open a cold one of your choosing and bask in the glory that is the mighty US of A. My apologies for bringing nothing to the table last week, [...]
Cherundolo Falls Short of Champions League, Everton Owns Manchester City and more Yanks Abroad
by Dru Boyer Brad Friedel made a save in a 1-1 draw with Wigan at Villa Park. MB0 was active, but did not appear…kinda like the ghosts on Ghost Hunters, or am I the only one that watches that show? Mystery remains open as to where the Favre of Villa Park will land next season. [...]
Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: People You’d Want to Party With, Part II Edition
Arrivederci, Yanks and Yankettes!! Yeah, I’m starting strong with Aldo Raine links. Welcome back into another Happy Hour. Before moving to the actual “Happy” part of the Happy Hour, I of course must mention the absolute dismantling that took place to my beloved Blankcheckster City at the hands of Liverpool last Monday. For those of [...]
For Love of the Game… I Mean, The Money: Why Soccer Shares the NFL’s Labor and Financial Predicament
By Puck This article was initially going to be a Puck’s Friday Happy Hour piece, but my editor thought it warranted a different day, as it was “important given the current labor situation surrounding other sports”, and useful given that MLS is one of only two leagues remotely stable in this country as I write. [...]
Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: March, Nate Dogg and Mario Balotelli Madness Edition
Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome back into another Happy Hour. It may be Friday, but it certainly feels much more like a Sunday after last night’s St. Patrick’s Day/Welcome to March Madness debauchery. Endless pints of green beer, shots of Irish Whiskeys, and a bevy of beautiful women in green dresses makes for a very interesting [...]
Puck’s Sunday Fun-Day: What’s Up with the MLS Playoff Format Edition
By Puck Ladies and Gentlemen, we are trying a little something different this week at TYAC. It’s not Friday, but it still is a Happy Hour of shorts. Today is Sunday Funday. I started my Funday off by watching Manchester City take on Clint Dempsey and Fulham at the Eastlands. Professional cry baby Balotelli proved [...]
Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: Soccer People Who’d Ruin A Party: Version 2.0
By Puck Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back into another happy hour. With the Manchester Derby set for Saturday morning, I cannot wait for the weekend to begin. While 7:30am is an early time to get up and watch my boys take on perennial jackleg Wayne Rooney and the rest of the United clowns–sometimes you just [...]
Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: Champions and Europe League, MTV Awards Edition
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back into another Happy Hour. This week has been especially hellish for me. I know you all probably don’t give a shit, but that hydride generation fluorescence spectroscopy instrument that I have told you all so much about, well it decided that it was time to pull a Roque Santa Cruz. [...]
How An Everton Hater Ended up Loving Tim Cahill
Editor’s Note: This is the first of a series of pieces on “Teams we loathe with players we love.” I truly hate Everton. I’m not a Liverpool fan, and I loathe the other half of Merseyside. This hatred seems a bit odd coming from a Manchester City fan. Sure, there were much more obvious choices [...]
