MLS has been busy during this summer’s transfer window, bringing in some big names to bolster the league’s popularity both domestically and abroad. First a Frenchman named Henry joined the league, shortly followed by his Barcelona teammate and Mexican captain Marquez. Now we learn that MLS...

Among the post-World Cup chatter, one story in particular has been lost in the shuffle… Thierry Henry has signed with the New York Red Bulls of MLS! While we would not expect this to make international headlines as the “mega-transfer” of the summer, it is curious that even MLS has kept...

The Hollywood script writers penning “The Life & Times of David Beckham” would never dare end their tale on a torn Achilles. Maybe a five-minute cameo at the 2010 World Cup. Or even his brief and inconsequential return to Old Trafford earlier this month. But certainly not the image of...

With US International star Landon Donovan set to arrive this week at Everton on a 10 week loan from the LA Galaxy, footy fans on both side of the pond are asking: Will Donovan finally prove himself in Europe? To answer that question we thought it would be helpful to take a look at Landycakes‘...

Tiger Woods’ personal freefall – chronicled and exacerbated by the tabloids – is the stuff of nightmares. We pity his poor wife and children, who are destined to be the losers of this episode, no matter what kind of resolution the Woods family reaches. But excuse our flippancy here,...

On a busy transfer deadline day, one deal that nearly slipped under the radar was the rather unspectacular loan of US hopeful Freddie Adu from Benfica to Lisbon neighbours Belenenses. A far cry from the 14-year old prodigy who made headlines as the youngest MLS scorer back in 2004, unsuccessful spells...

Since his return to the Galaxy from Milan, David Beckham’s MLS highlights include two much publicized altercations with fans, 1 red card and 1 assist in 6 league matches. Not quite the stuff of football legend. But no one knows how to bounce back better than Becks. Golden Balls did it again Saturday...

You can now add 7-foot-tall, 325-pound basketball megastar Shaquille O’Neal to the recent list of people who want to give Becks the beat down. David Beckham has rejected “Shaq’s” offer to appear in his new reality TV show. The series will follow O’Neal as he squares off against...
