Leeds United Injury Updates: Harry Wilson, Joe Rodon, Mateo Joseph

By

Leeds United sit in a very good place at this international break- fifth in the Premier League table. Leeds have greatly exceeded expectations so far, and they're currently undefeated (2W3D) with about three weeks off until the next match, a trip to defeding league champion Arsenal on October 10. And a big reason why The Whites have outperformed expectations is health. Manager … [Read more...] about Leeds United Injury Updates: Harry Wilson, Joe Rodon, Mateo Joseph

Real Madrid Injury Updates: Federico Valverde, Ferland Mendy, Rodrygo, Eder Militao

By

At this family sized international break, Real Madrid sit not in first, or even second in the La Liga table. Los Blancos aren't even in third place either. They're actually fourth, and already six points adrift of their El Clasico rivals. Much like their arch-nemesis, FC Barcelona, they have exactly four injury concerns: Federico Valverde, Ferland Mendy, Rodrygo and Eder … [Read more...] about Real Madrid Injury Updates: Federico Valverde, Ferland Mendy, Rodrygo, Eder Militao

Barcelona Injury Updates: Andreas Christensen, Frenkie de Jong, Roony Bardghji, Joan Garcia

By

Poor Andreas Christensen. The oft-injured Danish defender is hurt yet again, this time suffering a left thigh strain. That is according to various reports. In terms of a timeline for return, it could be anywhere from four weeks to two months. At least it's happening right now, during what is indeed the mother of all international breaks. … [Read more...] about Barcelona Injury Updates: Andreas Christensen, Frenkie de Jong, Roony Bardghji, Joan Garcia

Tottenham Injury Updates: Pedro Porro, Mykhailo Mudryk, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Xavi Simons

By

Tottenham Hotspur supporters have some bad injury news to think about today, and it relates to Pedro Porro. However, at least the news that broke only a few hours ago isn't that bad. Once again, a Tottenham player has a hamstring injury, and it will force him to be sidelined for awhile. But it is nowhere near as severe as the other hamstring injuries that we've seen the club … [Read more...] about Tottenham Injury Updates: Pedro Porro, Mykhailo Mudryk, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Xavi Simons

Liverpool Injury Updates: Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Hugo Ekitike, Federico Chiesa

By

Liverpool FC did not have the start to the season/the Andoni Iraola era that they wanted, but the overall situation isn't too bad. The Reds obviously didn't have the summer transfer window that they wanted, and that preluded a so-so start to the season, but they're only one point from third place right now. And they sit at this jumbo sized international break with only four … [Read more...] about Liverpool Injury Updates: Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Hugo Ekitike, Federico Chiesa

Arsenal Injury Updates: Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera, William Saliba

By

Arsenal have only three injury concerns at the international break- Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera, William Saliba. That is the good news for the North Londoners. The bad news, at this ginormously sized international break, for the Gunners is that they're no longer in first place. Getting thrashed by Brighton 3-0 on Sunday was the absolute worst way to head into an extended … [Read more...] about Arsenal Injury Updates: Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera, William Saliba

Enzo Maresca, Manchester City Have a Fully Fit Squad at International Break

By

The mother of all international breaks is here, and if you're Manchester City, or one of their supporters, you're feeling very good about where you're at right now. Enzo Maresca and his men are top of the Premier League table, the only team to take all 15 points from the 15 points available thus far. Unblemished thus far, they sit three points ahead of second place and … [Read more...] about Enzo Maresca, Manchester City Have a Fully Fit Squad at International Break

Chip Kelly was Masterclass in Outscheming, Dominating Coach Prime, Chris Marve

By

Remember the television series "NFL Turning Point?" It was a TV program that chronicled the single moment in which a given National Football League game was utterly defined and decided. We had that moment, last night, in Northwestern's 41-7 boat-racing of Colorado in their final game at Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium. NU offensive coordinator Chip Kelly was … [Read more...] about Chip Kelly was Masterclass in Outscheming, Dominating Coach Prime, Chris Marve

ESPN College Gameday: From Transcendent Genius to Unwatchable Dreck

By

Happy College Football season to those who celebrate- to honor the occasion, re-booting this classic once again from 2018, enjoy!  I absolutely loved ESPN College Gameday, about a decade and half ago when it was only one hour long, instead of three. Back in those days, it was not overrun with wall-to-wall native advertising, and it was much more about football than what's … [Read more...] about ESPN College Gameday: From Transcendent Genius to Unwatchable Dreck
