Nabil Fekir: Lyon’s Crown Jewel
One of the greatest legacies that Lionel Messi will leave behind when he slowly fades away from our collective consciousness (you know, outside the usual “he’s the greatest ever”, “he was better than Ronaldo” mambo jumbo) is that he’s spawn off a bunch of copycats. Numerous amounts of players have been labelled in some form…

The Swansea Way
Swansea City have a special place for EPL fans. First off they are as close to a hipster club as they come in the EPL (which isn’t saying much considering how large the EPL is; no EPL club can really be a true hipster club), their rags to riches story rivals the likes of Southampton…

Bundesliga Preview Part 1: The Return of the Black and Yellow
The first major storyline in the Bundesliga is probably what to make of Borussia Dortmund?

Olympique Marseille’s Murky Future
It was almost impossible to ignore the 2014-15 iteration of Olympique Marseille for a number of reasons. Whether it was manager Marcelo Bielsa telling the press not even two months into the job that he had an opt out clause after one season in his two year contract, whether it was the attractive, vibrant football that made…

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.

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.
