U.S. Women’s National Team

You might still be rubbing your eyes if you caught the USWNT’s game against the Dominican Republic last night. You might still be rubbing them if you saw the score this morning. You aren’t dreaming. The score really was 14-0. Check out my run down of all the goals here!

English Premier League

Soccer is taking another step in the U.S. as Fox Sports will broadcast the Arsenal v. Manchester United match tomorrow on their main channel, which reaches 114.7 million viewers.

After a barrage of criticisms on Twitter from Joey Barton, former Queens Park Rangers boss Neil Warnock says he’s disappointed in the player, but he won’t get into a “war of words” with him. Apparently things are in a bit of turmoil at QPR.

Tons of games wrapped up this morning in the EPL; Fulham had a massive score of 5-2 over Newcastle and Bolton will face off with Liverpool this afternoon. But it’s the scoreline of 0-0 between Chelsea and Norwich City that has many fans talking this morning.

Major League Soccer

The Houston Dynamo are still moving and switching up their roster for the next season. Yesterday they announced a deal between them and D.C. United that would see young Danny Cruz making a moving to D.C.

A month or so ago, D.C. United’s Santino Quaranta said he was hanging up his boots. Apparently, he didn’t like retirement too much. Reports are coming in that he will now be heading to India to a new six-team league that’s started up in the country. Hmmm.

Serie A

AC Milan have let go of left back Taye Taiwo on loan to EPL side Queens Park Rangers. The defensive player has fought to get in the starting line up for Milan, and this loan could be a precursor for a more permanent move out of Italy.

After the past few months of talks and speculation, Roma boss Luis Enrique said he’s going to put contract talks with Italian midfielder Daniele De Rossi on hold, seeing as Roma still has him for 18 months. De Rossi was doubtful for the team’s game against Cesena today.
