Leicester City must wait at least one more day - and perhaps longer - to clinch the Barclay Premier league championship, and in the process defeat 5,000 to 1 odds.
The Foxes could have clinched the title with a win over Manchester United but could manage only a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. Tottenham Hotspurs are 8 points behind and play at Chelsea tomorrow. A tie or a Chelsea win puts Leicester over the top. Should the Spurs gain the three points, Leicester will have to try again Saturday against Everton.
In today's New York Times, Sam Borden looks at the Foxes' remarkable and improbable run,starting with near relegation just 13 months ago.
About This Soccer Blog
Welcome to Coach P’s Soccer Blog! Writing whatever I feel like whenever I feel like it about the world’s most popular sport is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Now that I have retired from coaching, refereeing and being a club administrator, I have the time – when my day job as a lawyer permits.
About this blog
I plan to write about whatever comes to mind in the world of soccer – maybe a club game, or a news item from a European league, and a lot from Philadelphia’s new pro teams, the Union and Independence. A lot of content here will be my opinion – and you’ll know when it is – and a lot plain news reporting. I hope it will be objective and professionally written and that it will provoke thought or at least be interesting and entertaining to a soccer fan.
Eventually, when I figure things out, I’ll have more organization and specific pages by topic, pictures and various soccer links.
I won’t pretend to be comprehensive. I won’t have the time, the resources or the desire to fully cover any one league, team or age group.
And you will often find references to songs in my writing. It’s a habit I have, but I find I am not alone. I have found that Dan Shaugnessy, excellent sports columnist for the Boston Globe, has sprinkled references to songs in his work.
