It’s a well known fact that I’m not a fan of the Red Devils, in fact I’ve enjoyed watching them flail about this season very much. In an effort to get back at me the Gaffer (who is a Wycombe Wanderers supporter masquerading as a Manchester United supporter) has asked …

About a week ago now I found myself languishing in the tedium of a soccer-less day, and I got to thinking, the current boot market sees players spoiled for choice, there are literally boots which cover every potential want and need for today’s player. This wasn’t the case as recently …

STOP! Collaborate and read it! The Soccer List is back with a brand new edition! Now if you’re like me, and I’ll be honest I can only hope you aren’t for your sake, you have spent most of your week analyzing, nay, over analyzing Monday’s FIFA Ballon D’Or ceremonies, as …

Checking in once again from the Great White North with another Joma indoor boot review. For this latest review, I’ve decided to stay with the “Flex” range and been playing with the more economical Joma Superflex over the last several weeks. Whereas the Top Flex is a futsal boot first, the …

Happy New Year Readers! Much like broken New Years resolutions The Soccer List is back from it’s Christmas vacation, refreshed and with sharpened blades ready to take on the biggest stories in football, and failing that stories which might be amusing (Editors note: Not a guarantee).

A little bit of bootspotting for a Monday afternoon. Checking out the Milan v Roma match and AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli took to the pitch wearing a boot entirely kitted out in newspaper headlines about himself. Super Mario, has been a long time Nike CTR 360 wearer (odd choice …

Hi again Sinterklaas, (I’ve chosen your Dutch holiday name because I like the spelling and sound of it) I should start my letter to you by apologizing because I believe it’s been quite sometime since we corresponded last. I know you didn’t write me back, but you did bring me …

As I mentioned about a month ago now, SC101’s Canadian HQ received a little pre-Christmas care package from Spanish outfit Joma. The first thing I spied in the package was Joma’s futsal party piece, the Top Flex. Now it’s been just shy of three years since Bryan took the Top Flex …

Welcome back to part two of my analysis of the draw for World Cup 2014. I’m going to continue on in the same vein as the first half of the draw running through my opinion of the group picking a winner and a runner up and highlighting some players to …

So this morning the world stopped what it was doing for about 60 minutes and watched the draw for the upcoming World Cup 2014. The draw in classic FIFA fashion featured retired footballers picking small balls out of pots; pots with numbers like 1,2,3, and 4 and letters like X. …

It’s Monday and well that means it’s time for me to climb inside “The Week That Was” machine and re-visit some stories from…errr…the week that was, it’s another edition of The Soccer List. 1. Things get a little shirty at the Emirates Sometimes the history and unwritten rules involved in …

G’day and welcome to your regularly scheduled edition of The Soccer List, where every Monday (usually morning) I channel my inner Pat Benatar and Hit You With My Best Shot (kids if you don’t know that reference look it up it’s classic music), of news and views from the week past and including …

The autumn chill has occurred and soccer in most Northerly climes in North America has moved indoors; to be completely honest I couldn’t be more thrilled about this. There are two reasons behind my happiness, the first is that I enjoy the freedom and quick thinking required in the small …

So after a pretty crazy couple of international World Cup qualifiers it’s time to bring up a rare mid-week “The Soccer List“. I’ve boiled the kettle and am ready to dive into the biggest and weirdest stories from the last 48 hours. 1. Ronaldo Pretty Much Seals Balon d’Or I …
