The Hooligan's Pitch

Caw CAWWWWW - The Gulls are flying, soaring, and dive bombing their opponents in recent weeks, taking out Man United and then Arsenal back to back. 5 teams in the EPL have yet to lose, while Tottenham scores 2 BUT Villa claim their first victory against them. Chelsea get stung hard, and Iroala returns to Bournemouth wearing a different shade of red.

It's a bird, it's a plane....no...It's Gabriels LEG! Look out Emi, boots are coming in hot! Controversy on the Arsenal v. Chelsea game leads the news of matchday 3 where two of the top dogs took each other on in what was the most physical match of the year. Liverpool get their first victory, Everton snatch a point at the death, and Villa/Tottenham are freeeeeeeeee falling.

Whip it, whip it good is exactly what Newcastle did to the Spurs with the wombo-combo of Wissa and Elanga. The lightening duo is quickly boosting the Newcastle to the top of the table while we watch the Villa's and Tottenham's crumble away. Who is the best #10 in the league, Cherki On Friday...Bruno F by Sunday. Liverpool draws again, while the champs ease their way to 3 points. + We talk a little more Pep and the doc.

EPL Matchday 1 in the books! Upsets came in a hurry and we had to break down the good, the bad, and the very, very ugly!

We're BACK! Season 5 of The Hooligan's Pitch is here, and we’re roaring to go!

Could this be the best Premier League season yet with the title truly up for grabs? Every team has restocked, from players to managers, and Arsenal enter the season as defending champions with their eyes on going back-to-back. Can they do it?

Here we go!

The World Cup is over, and we're here to break down the final. This match kept us on the edge of our seat for all 106' minutes with the GOAT getting absolutely shut down, while Spain is showing us this is their time to rule football in the next decade. We also break into the most recent transfers in the EPL and show how busted the market is. See you next time in season 5!

England vs. Norway gave us The Phantom Cable...did the ball really hit the camera drone cable, or are we being sold a ghost story? Meanwhile, VARgentina is now 8-for-8 on VAR calls. Coincidence? Plus, diving review giving us yellow is good for the game! Semifinals are next.

Well...here we are...again. Is the Round of 16 the ceiling for the USMNT? This year truly felt different and yet, our hearts (and heads) and in pain. Outside of our nation, teams are rolling! France look unstoppable, Spain has their super sub, England luckily has Kane, and Norway has a literal super-hero Viking about to be in the next Marvel movie...but don't forget about the Goat...

FREE BIRD BABY! USA is moving on to take on Belgium in their revenge game from 2014. Round fo 32 has brought us drama in almost every match, and we have to give some flowers to FIFA for proving there is talent across the board. We've seen upsets, we've seen teams preparing for an upset, only to get caught in the moment. With only a few games left in the Round of 32, the final 16 are shaping up to be Goliaths in a den with no Davids.

Matdhday 2 is over and here comes the drama. Who will take the group and who will round of the bottom 8. Portugal, so back...Belgium, dropping fast. USA all the way? We think so. The stars are shining, we're smiling, and the tournament carries on!
