In their first bout, many couldn't separate Nathan Cleverly and Tony Bellew, however, the die hard Everton fan has got his rematch on their "Repeat or Revenge" card and he's not prepared to lose again, with the first bout a questionable decision in Cleverly's favour to say the least. He has insisted that he will beat his rival, that he will force him into retirement, and that he will go on to become the cruiserweight champion of the world. Bellew's words were strong in this week's press conference, and if his punches are just as hard this Saturday, does Cleverly have a chance? Read More »
Wayne Rooney has become both loved and hated within the English community, with some fans accepting that he's one of their best ever players, and others insisting they can do much better.

Will Rooney break the national record, and more importantly, can he take his form back to the Premier League fixtures next weekend... or will he even return to his former club Everton? Read More »
Jan Vertonghen and Neil Taylor may just be the defenders that play for Belgium and Wales, but before their clash, they both had their say on elite superstars Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard. With the pair facing off in their Euro qualifier, one can wonder, who came out on top, and which player is the better one overall? Both attacking talents were on display in this match-up, but ironically, despite talking of the attacking talent, it was both Jan and Neil's part of the pitch that had their say on the game.

In the summer of 2013, Marouane Fellaini was the big-money transfer signing for Manchester United, but it's fair to say things didn't quite go to plan in his opening season with the club. The former Everton man was almost forced out of the club on a loan or permanent move, but he decided to stay, trying to fight for his place. In recent weeks he's become a Premier League regular for Louis Van Gaal's team, and it seems that he finally feels he can open up about his horrid year. He has admitted he was below par, but he has hit out at his doubters, saying he was a "scapegoat" for the club's poor season. Read More »
David Moyes was labelled the 'chosen one' when he took over from Sir Alex Ferguson. However, the former Manchester United manager lasted just under one season, with Louis Van Gaal taking over his managerial duties at Old Trafford. So, would his career be in ruins, and would the ex-Everton gaffer struggle to get another top job? Apparently not as the popular La Liga club, Real Sociedad, have given him a one-and-half-year deal.

USA and soccer haven't always gone hand-in-hand, but for the last decade or two, one thing that has, is their talent in the goalkeeping position. A good team starts from the back, and luckily, team USA have always had plenty of goalkeeping leadership, and it doesn't seem like that's about to change any time soon. Their international team are rapidly improving, as is their MLS division, despite the evident gulf in class between it and the English Premier League. Five goalkeepers are important to consider: Brad Friedel, Kasey Keller, Tim Howard, Brad Guzan and Charlie Horton, but why? Read More »
A little over a year-and-a-half ago, David Moyes became the Manchester United manager, but after one dreadful Premier League season he was fired for being 'far from the required standards'. The one-time Everton boss has had little so say since his early 2014 sacking, but he's back, and he's hit out at the Red Devils in a chilling statement. Also, he's insisting it's time for him to return, and it looks like he has set his sights on the EPL. Read More »
