Don’t Drink and Play

In a Bundesliga 2 match on Saturday between MSV Duisburg and Ingolstadt, goalkeeper Mark Flekken of MSV Duisburg made one of the worst mistakes I’ve ever seen. Words cannot do it justice so I’ve attached the video in a tweet from @FOXSoccer. MSV Duisburg did go on to win the match by a score of… Read More »

The Case for the MLS

Soccer in America has long struggled to build a dedicated fanbase. For decades, American sports has been dominated by the “Big Four” professional sports leagues: the National Football League, National Hockey League, National Basketball association and Major League Baseball.

U.S. Misses the World Cup

Being a sports fan in general, the World Cup was and still is my favorite platform to view top notch soccer. That being said, with the United States not making the World Cup for the first time since 1986 I feel a strange guilt. Watching the United States in years past in the World Cup… Read More »

Système éducatif vs. qualité de l’équipe nationale chinoise de football

Pourquoi est-ce que la Chine, en tant que si grand pays, mauvais au football ? A première vue, c’est une question très déroutante. Vous ne pouvez pas choisir vingt joueurs d’une population de 1.4 milliard ? En réalité, le cas est plus complexe comme toujours. Il y a une petite population qui joue au football,… Read More »

Soccer: A Scientific Analysis

Most of the time, soccer is played without much consideration to the actual physics controlling the ball’s movement.

Is Zinedine Zidane (The coach) really good, or is PSG just not tactical enough?

Heading into the knock-out stages of the Champions League last week, the Real Madrid versus Paris Saint-Germain match was the most anticipated. Soccer fans globally indeed felt that it was unfair for two of the most hyped teams to meet at such an early stage of the competition. Going into this fixture, Unai Emery’s PSG… Read More »
