Inter Milan 2-0 Lecce: Match Recap

Photo by Emilio Andreoli/Getty Images Bisseck to the rescue With no Lautaro Martinez and a midweek 120 minutes weighing down the Nerazzurri’s legs, Inter's clash with Lecce didn’t have the look of a pretty affair. That was only a minor roadblock, however, thanks to a superstar showing from Yann Bisseck and a businesslike performance from the entire team. In fact, the eventual 2-0 scoreline was flattering to Lecce if anything, with Inter holding 68% of possession, tallying 20 shots (8 on t...

Villarreal ease relegation battle fears with entertaining home win over Celta Vigo

Nervier than it should have been | Photo by Aitor Alcalde/Getty Images An important three points Villarreal eased fears of being sucked into a relegation battle with a win in their last game before the Christmas break.

Inter 1 - 2 Bologna ET: March Recap

Photo by Francesco Scaccianoce/Getty Images Wasteful with their opportunities, Inter concede twice in the final eight minutes to bow out of the Coppa Italia With both teams heavily rotating their squads, you would have thought Inter’s depth would result in a comfortable win. While they dominated possession, Inter were unable to score in regulation and for the 7th time in the last nine Coppa Italia round of 16 matches, they took the game to extra time. Luck ran out as Inter quickly scored ...

Between a Rock and a Quack Place

Good Morning Anaheim, As our Ducks sit in the middle of a rather impressive 3-13 stretch of games and the Christmas break coming soon, multiple questions remain on this Ducks team. What changes have been made in the lines to offset the loss of McTavish and Z? What can this losing skid tell us about the coaching staff and the Ver-Build as a whole? And should we all just dig our heads in and rewatch highlights from that two-week span when we were a wildcard team? Well, the answers to those ...

Bustamante/Soccrates/Getty Images Another heavy defeat for the Yellows Villarreal boss Marcelino has sent a serious warning to his players after Sunday’s 4-1 defeat to Real Madrid .

Jose Luis Morales did manage to pull it back to 2-1 at one stage, but Villarreal never truly looked in the ga...

Not even a visit to Simone Inzaghi’s old stadium, a place of frequent defeats for the Nerazzurri of late, nor the chance to go four points clear at the top thanks to Juve’s draw with Genoa, could keep Inter from claiming a 2-0 victory over Lazio under the Sunday night lights at Stadio Olimpico. Lautaro Martinez bagged the eventual game-winner in th...

Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images Victor Orta left a mess at Leeds A relegation for any club is a deterring mark in its history. Even a team devoid of capable players to play in that division expects minimum survival as their league achievement. Relegation to a lower division affects the club both financially and emotionally. For Leeds United , who were relegated to the Championship from the Premier League last season, a similar situation needs to be endured. However, the club has g...

Pittman: “We owe the state of Arkansas a dang good team.”

The 2022 season is certainly something a lot of fans, media and the coaching staff wants to forget. It wasn’t a complete failure. But, it was way below where anyone expected the Razorbacks to be at the end of the season. The Hogs started off with a bang after a 7-point victory over a ranked Cincinnati team fresh off a College Football Playoff appearance. Arkansas was able to push around South Carolina for much of the game last season. Even if the score was just 44-30, it was still an impress...
