Two NFL playoff games on the same dayMon, 10 Aug 2009 18:25:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_limey/06/26/transfer.market/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_limey/06/26/transfer.market/index.htmlCredit crunch and slow economy be damned, the soccer world is still spinning from the record-busting $131 million fee Real Madrid is on the verge of pumping into Manchester United's coffers for FIFA World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo. That's on top of the $92 million the mysteriously loaded Spaniards already paid for last year's World Player of the Year, Kaká. But there's far more to come in the transfer market. This week, we run through the English Premier League looking at possible transfer targets, and who might be heading for the exit door.Fri, 26 Jun 2009 19:11:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/gregory_sica/06/17/carlos.tevez/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/gregory_sica/06/17/carlos.tevez/index.htmlThere's only one Carlos Tévez. With a move away from Old Trafford now almost a formality, several clubs continue to fight for the striker's much sought-after signature, making it one of the most long-running transfer sagas in recent history. The biggest loser is Manchester United, which hesitated in offering the Argentine star a permanent deal because his $37.5 million buyout fee seemed excessive.Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:43:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_limey/05/29/fa.cup/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_limey/05/29/fa.cup/index.htmlEverton goes into Saturday's FA Cup final as underdogs riding on a high. After claiming the scalps of two "Big Four" teams -- Manchester United and Liverpool -- en route to the final, it clinched fifth place in the Premier League for the second year running.Fri, 29 May 2009 17:12:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/gabriele_marcotti/05/28/championsleague/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/gabriele_marcotti/05/28/championsleague/index.htmlROME -- The Eternal City was the most appropriate of backdrops for what we witnessed on Wednesday. It was supposed to be a case of the true believers: Barcelona and its quasi-fundamentalist, possession-oriented credo thrown to the lions of Manchester United's top-to-bottom combination of strength, athleticism and quality. It was dogmatism versus pragmatism.Thu, 28 May 2009 22:04:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/jonah_freedman/05/27/champions.league/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/jonah_freedman/05/27/champions.league/index.htmlBarcelona vs. Manchester United: Chime with your thoughts on the Champions League final hereWed, 27 May 2009 22:38:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/gabriele_marcotti/05/26/champs.final/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/gabriele_marcotti/05/26/champs.final/index.htmlSI.com's Gabriele Marcotti breaks down Wednesday's Champions League final matchup between Manchester United and FC Barcelona (ESPN, 2:30 p.m. ET).Tue, 26 May 2009 17:24:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/greg_lalas/05/25/champions.final/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/greg_lalas/05/25/champions.final/index.htmlIt's safe to say Wednesday's Champions League final is the most anticipated title match since UEFA created the platinum edition of Europe's top tournament. From Rome to Rochester to Rangoon, everyone with even a modicum of soccer in his blood is planning on watching the game live, regardless if that requires skipping an important sales call at work or losing a few hours of sleep.Tue, 26 May 2009 14:25:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_limey/04/17/champs.league/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_limey/04/17/champs.league/index.htmlThree English teams clinched the semifinals of the European Champions League this week, representing the Premier League's finest hour since ... well, since last season, when three English teams achieved the same feat. As they did the season before that. Indeed, only a much-fancied Barcelona side can prevent a second all-England final. With Team Limey all cock-a-hoop with jingoistic cockiness, we look back at those quarterfinal second legs, starting with the thriller at Stamford Bridge.Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:55:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_limey/03/20/manu.cl/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_limey/03/20/manu.cl/index.htmlOrdinarily, Manchester United making a trip to Craven Cottage isn't much of a story. Fulham hasn't beaten United at home in league play since 1964.

I Did It Again at karaoke while wearing a Britney Spears wig. But it would be apt, since the Chelsea owner hastily and mistakenly sacked a manager for the third time in 17 months.Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:35:00 ESThttp://money.cnn.com/2009/01/21/news/international/uk_soccer/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2009/01/21/news/international/uk_soccer/index.htmThe British soccer team Manchester United - one of the most valuable sports franchises in the world - is looking for a new shirt sponsor.Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:36:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_limey/01/09/chelsea/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/the_limey/01/09/chelsea/index.htmlThe headline English Premier League game this weekend sees second-place Chelsea visiting Old Trafford to face third-place Manchester United on Sunday.

Whatever the case may be, it's better late than never.Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:04:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1838077,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1838077,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsThe takeover of Manchester City by an Abu Dhabi group is further evidence that soccer clubs have become a hot buy Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:00:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/the_limey/08/22/epl.first.weekend/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/the_limey/08/22/epl.first.weekend/index.htmlTeam Limey, along with everyone else over in Blightly, has been riding the rare wave of British sporting success that the Olympics have brought.

So many interwoven tales -- of heroism and euphoria, of loss and heartache. One hundred and twenty minutes of pulsating soccer followed by a heart-in-mouth penalty shootout to decide it all.Fri, 30 May 2008 19:19:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gabriele_marcotti/05/22/champs.final/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gabriele_marcotti/05/22/champs.final/index.htmlMOSCOW -- "Football is the true winner tonight!"Fri, 23 May 2008 17:57:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/grant_wahl/05/21/five.things.champions/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/grant_wahl/05/21/five.things.champions/index.htmlFive things we learned while watching Manchester United's win on penalty kicks over Chelsea (after a 1-1 tie) in Wednesday's Champions League final from our lair in Baltimore, aka Moscow-on-the-Patapsco:Wed, 21 May 2008 23:49:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/the_limey/05/16/limey.0516/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/the_limey/05/16/limey.0516/index.htmlFirst Blood to Manchester United, as goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs made them the John Rambo to Chelsea's bumbling small town sheriff in last Sunday's EPL finale. At the moment it's anyone's guess who'll play the muscle-bound Vietnam veteran, and who'll be the hapless Vietnamese soldiers in next week's sequel.Mon, 19 May 2008 16:10:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gavin_hamilton/05/06/glazer.united/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/gavin_hamilton/05/06/glazer.united/index.htmlAs Manchester United prepare to face Chelsea in the first all-English Champions League final in Moscow on May 21, it might appear that everything is fine and dandy with the club's owners, the Glazer family.Tue, 06 May 2008 20:36:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/the_limey/05/02/britain.dominance/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/the_limey/05/02/britain.dominance/index.htmlChelsea vs. Manchester United: They're now in a two-horse race to be both English and European champions.
