It’s not every day that you get to spend time with your childhood heroes. That’s exactly what I was able to do this summer, as Liverpool Football Club visited the United States for its preseason tour. LFC legends old and new descended on Boston for the club’s friendly at Fenway Park against AS Roma in … Continue reading
With a number of European clubs on American soil throughout the summer, FOX Soccer hit the road over the past month to catch-up with some of the biggest names in the global game. My travels took me up to Seattle to coordinate interviews with reigning European champion Chelsea FC before heading east to New York … Continue reading
Back in June I had the privilege of representing FOX Soccer at the World Soccer Masters in Miami – a charity event hosted by global icon Lionel Messi and his cast of all-stars. Essentially the two teams were composed of the world’s best players that were not currently featuring in Euro 2012. See how many … Continue reading
After one of the most unique soccer events that I’ve ever been a part of (FOX Soccer’s Survival Sunday), I’m just now catching-up on organizing the photos that were taken from the weekend of May 13. Spearheaded by our inaugural Supporters Rally, Barclays Premier League fans from six major American supporters groups descended upon Los … Continue reading
Greetings from Los Angeles. Trading in the training ground for the studio has been an interesting switch. Few people realize how much hard work, precision timing and copious amounts of caffeine go into making a broadcast (particularly a studio show). Below are some shots from my time on set for FOX Soccer’s Match Day and … Continue reading
The first thing that will jump out to you about newly-renovated BC Place is the roof. This focal point of Vancouver Whitecaps FC’s new building provides a sense of space unrivaled in any MLS venue. It’s a suspension-based structure that is retractable, much like a few of the new European venues seen in Germany. If … Continue reading
Sonny Silooy was a terrific footballer who climbed to the pinnacle of world soccer with AFC Ajax and the Dutch National Team (that’s him with Edgar Davids in the 1996 UEFA Champions League Final). He also broke my finger on Tuesday. Well maybe, as the fallout from this most recent debacle has yet to be … Continue reading
United and City fans agree on very little, but they seem to be unified in their ire towards striker Carlos Tevez. Ahead of this weekend’s blockbuster Manchester derby, fans of both sides voice their disapproval for the out-of-favor Argentine.
Some photos from my first trip to Philadelphia’s PPL Park. We played the Union last season in the club’s inaugural MLS match, but that contest was hosted at Lincoln Financial Field. PPL Park was a much more intimate environment, and like its European predecessors, the venue rises out of a working class neighborhood (Chester, Pa.) … Continue reading
If you haven’t seen Andy Najar’s opening goal from Saturday’s 4-1 United win over RSL, do yourself a favor and have a look. The 18-year-old’s finish is sublime, but it’s the 40-yard through ball from Dwayne De Rosario that makes the goal easy on the eyes. It’s one of the best weighted balls I have seen … Continue reading
