Crystal Palace’s Impact
It was around this time I wrote a guest post about Crystal Palace and their outlook just a few weeks into the 2014-15 season. Palace’s first two seasons back in the Premier League were heart-attack inducing followed by infinite swooning. Much of Crystal Palace’s 2013-14 season consisted of an intensely bad start. Then manager Ian…

Artur Boruc: Bournemouth’s Backbone
Robert Lewandowski is the first person that comes to mind when Polish football is being discussed; striker for Bayern with an immense finishing ability. Team wise, it’s usually Legia Warsaw. They have some nice goalkeepers; recently moved Wojciech Szczesny. But I think of Artur Boruc, the most active brazen 35 year old goalkeeper in…

NYCFC Diaries, Vol. 6: Pirlo Parties, Orlando CIty Almost Spoiling Them
30,042 people showed up to see Andrea Pirlo’s historic “baby blue” debut. Every once in a while, NYCFC’s PR department opened up certain section of the nosebleeds, something they usually do for Grade A games, and Andrea Pirlo’s first game for NYCFC was certainly that. They were filled, as was the entirety of Yankee Stadium. …

The NYCFC Diaries, Vol. 5: New York Derby, Part Deux
The Twitter account campaigned to light up the Empire State Building in vibrant blue colors; it did. #WINNYCFC was the slogan every NYCFC fan went by on Twitter and even in real life. The fans’ derby build-up wishes came to fruition. #NYWasBlue. But the fixture? Well…that flung the other way. Here are some of the…

The NYCFC Diaries, Vol. 4: Tyler Deric, John the Newcastle Fan, The First NYCFC Spot Kick and…JESÚS NAVAS AND DAVID SILVA
I took a writing break from NYCFC’s last match against the Fire, which—by the way— was awe-inspiring. Thanks, Khiry Shelton, for your 90th minute brilliance and NYCFC as a collective playing with 10 men. Anyways, enjoy volume four below, because lots of interesting stuff happened on a very eventful day. Meeting Jesús Navas and David Silva…

Will Florentino Perez Ever Learn?
Things have been pretty eventful for La Liga’s top two. Last Sunday marked Xavi’s final, melancholy goodbye to Barcelona, and yesterday, Real Madrid fans (ranging from new to old) said goodbye – in rather frustrating fashion – to Carlo Ancelotti. Carlo Ancelotti had a blueprint – albeit, an unfinished one – until hot-shot moneymaker president…

Steven Gerrard Farewell Tribute
As we all know, Steven Gerrard won’t be wearing Scouser red anymore after this season. So, last night, I decided to make a Gerrard tribute video. I felt obligated to make one, because he really is one of the best players I’ve watched. I’m not a Liverpool fan (nor do I hate them, only Brendan…

NYCFC Diaries Volume 3: The Song Sheets from Hell, Clint Dempsey, Obafemi Martins, NY Derby
NO DANNY, NO PARTY First things first: HE WASN’T THERE. Not like that means a lot anyways, because he’s gone by the end of the first half. BUT STILL, YOU’RE THE MASCOT OF THIS SERIES! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Clint Dempsey + Marco Pappa= Teary-Eyed Goodness When Clint Dempsey’s name was announced by the PA guy, the cheers-to-boos…

The NYCFC Diaries, Vol. 2: Ariel, Unionman, and Baseball Banter
Tonight’s Forecast? Nothing But Majestic! It sucks that I still had to don a jacket of some sort. I see the majority of people in my section wearing shorts and here I am thinking “aren’t these people going to complain sooner or later?” Funny enough, they did. But who am I to say? The weather…

Brendan Rodgers: The Walking Contradiction
The staff here at Every Day is Zlatan Day are proud to present our latest project: #BrendanWeek with a daily post all this week dedicated to Liverpool’s umm… eccentric manager. The man, the myth, the legend himself (just ask him). Whether it’s been his run-ins with other managers or the incessant myth making he creates…
