***Man, it has not been a good July for boxing and football. First, Nicaraguan boxing legend Alexis Arguello allegedly commits suicide and then former Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair was violently slain in his home.
Nicknamed “The Explosive Thin Man,” Arguello, 57, was a former WBA Featherweight, WBC Super Featherweight and WBC Lightweight [...]

Originally from Whowerare.
Following his two goal performance in a 3-1 victory for Italy over the United States at the Confederations Cup soccer tournament, Giuseppe Rossi finds himself a topic of discussion among American sports writers and commentators.
You see, Rossi is originally from Joisey (also referred to New Jersey) who happens to have dual American and [...]

There is a price for everything. Sir Alex Ferguson declared indignantly in December that he wouldn’t sell the Real Madrid mob a virus, not to mention his crowning jewel, Cristiano Ronaldo, but when an astronomical £80 million check is waved enticingly, principles can be swayed.
Last week, Real Madrid shocked the football community with [...]

-That didn’t take long. I was wondering how long before a sports writer would point out Roger Federer’s French Open victory (and 14th Grand Slam title) was over Robin Soderling and NOT Rafael Nadal. Read it this morning in a paper. Gee, and this is supposed to diminish the victory how exactly? How’s it Roger’s [...]

NHL: I don’t know much about, well, a lot of things but I do know double standards and relativism when I see it. I still can’t figure out how Daniel Carcillo was suspended for clocking a Penguins player while Calgary’s Mike Cammalleri was spared for the exact same act. Yeah, yeah I heard Colin “Colie” [...]

As a neutral observer of the 2nd leg match between Barcelona and Chelsea, please allow me to convey my sober but middling and borderline lexaphanic thoughts given the passionate explosiveness witnessed.
The match ended 1-1 but Barcelona marches on Rome (to the Spanish Steps I assume) thanks to an away goal at Stamford Bridge. In magnificent [...]

The excellent soccer writer Rob Hughes offers his thoughts in “Amid Passion and Grief, Reminders That Italy Remains a Sleeping Giant”.
They’re angry and they don’t care who knows it. Fire Jay Mariotti goes where no journalist too chummy with the system attempts to explore lest they get overlooked for the next piece of crap golf [...]

FC Barcelona – The best team in the world!
I was surfing late one night when I got an email from a friend; ISW readers may know him as exposrip. It was a link from Soccerpro.com. Of course, being a Barca and Ajax fan, I had to check it out. Whenever exposrip sends me a [...]

This article by Alessandro Nicolo first appeared in April 2007. In light of the recent events in Montreal regarding the firing of Guy Carbonneau of the Montreal Canadiens, the issue of language and coaching has come up again.
It’s soul searching time in Montreal. Nos Glorieux are out of the playoffs this year and to many [...]

It’s a while I have observed on many, many soccer website how people (soccer fans apparently) continue to assert that Italy plays “boring” soccer. Also known as anti-football.
Perhaps it’s not the most flamboyant but it certainly is one of the most intricate, complex and sophisticated. That’s probably why it’s seen as negative and defensive.
In any [...]
