Maybe Bayern Should Retool
Stop me if you’ve heard this before… Bayern Munich is an old team that needs to refresh and reload its aging core. Last night’s 2-2 draw against two-time, and let’s face it, huge favorite for the Champions League again, champion Real Madrid didn’t particularly expose this issue too much (save for showing just how slow…

Barcelona’s Summer of Discontent
Barcelona’s summer transfer window has been less than ideal, to say the least.

The Parisian Angel
Ángel Di María, the world-record signing by a British team, didn’t exactly settle in in his first, and from the looks of it only, season in Manchester. Brought in as part of Louis van Gaal’s rebuilding project, di María started with a bang, only to slowly fade and become a supporting character in Manchester United’s…
