Brazil, We Have a Problem
Brazil, the most decorated football nation on Earth, have not won the World Cup or Copa América in eight years. In fact, in those eight years, they haven’t even made the final of either tournament. Yesterday’s shootout loss to Paraguay confirmed their exit from the 2015 Copa América, and these whispers have turned into very…

Copa América Storylines
The 2015 Copa América begins today, when hosts Chile face Ecuador. Here are some of the storylines to watch for in CONMEBOL’s continental tournament. Argentina are the favorites Argentina came a Mario Götze goal away from winning the World Cup last year, so it should come as little surprise that Tata Martino’s troops are the favorite…

Looking Ahead to the Summer International Tournaments
The Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 are all done. Serie A will be finished on Sunday. The Champions League Final on June 6th will mark the end of the 2014-15 season of European club football. This year is an odd year, which sadly means we won’t have the World Cup or the Euros…

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…

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 second North London derby of the season came to a dramatic close, with goals coming from Mesut Ozil on a fantastic touch in the 11th minute and, arguably the best striker in the Premier…

In Defense of the FA Cup (Sort Of)
It’s that time of year (again) where we’re supposed to give a care about football that, for the most part, the players involved don’t seem to care about – at least the ones we see on a regular basis. I’m not talking about international week (although as a City fan, I do want the Ivory…

New Scholes Flow
In many eyes, Paul Scholes is one of the most underrated players in Premier League history. A league which revels in midfielders that are either bruising bullies in battle or have cannonball shots worthy of scorching the net from improbable distances, Scholes was much more of the Spanish or Italian variety: a pace setter who…

My 2014 in Review: The World Cup
There were so many memorable things about the World Cup. For me, two things in particular especially stood out: one as a neutral and the other as an American. You can probably guess them: Germany 7-1 Brazil and USA 2-1 Ghana. Watching Germany 7-1 Brazil was completely insane at the time, and it still feels insane…

Bundesliga Week 10 Roundup
Dortmund’s long nightmare is over. After beating Freiburg 3-1 on September 13th, their form bizarrely spiralled downward and went seven games without a win. However, Dortmund’s winless streak ended with their 1-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach at home. The only goal was a bizarre own goal, courtesy of Christoph Kramer. He attempted to a lobbed…
