 My Mission

Have you ever turned on the television in the United States wanting to hear news about soccer? Yes, I know. Unless you’re buying some premium package, odds are you’re going to have to listen to people rant about sports that might not even be in season in which seems like a never endless loop. My goal is to provide you with some insight and analysis about all things Premier League which isn’t quite covered here in the US as much as it is in other parts of the world.

I started writing in 2017 and I began by writing about all sports. This soon flared out as my approach was too broad. I didn’t feel like I was reaching people considering they could just turn on ESPN and get their fix. I decided to focus on soccer because its my favorite sport but also because it’s something that’s rather slept on in the US. I hope by visiting my site, I help your appreciation for the beautiful game grow.

Ok so now for the boring stuff. I’m a 19 year-old college student studying sports journalism at Siena College in New York and I hope to graduate in 2021. My favorite team is Chelsea but I’m a die-hard Ronaldo fan. Go Blues.
