Lyon vs. Liverpool: Battle of the Hospital Patients

By: Inara | Comments 144 Comments

Don’t be surprised if you walk into your favorite footie pub tomorrow and see fans of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Everton wearing OL kits. The match-up between Lyon and Liverpool, while important for Lyon in terms of pride and security, is absolutely crucial for Liverpool.

Peace Cup: Lyon vs. Beşiktaş (Plus Pictures!)

By: Inara | Comments 82 Comments

Geez, they can afford to pay millions over the top for a dental patient, but they can’t hire a college intern to update their website? [...]
