Senior Profile: Ethan Feigin leaves a legacy of selflessness, grit and dedication on Tufts men’s soccer

By Bharat Singh | May 14

A lone white shirt wrestled through a sea of defenders, deftly maneuvering the ball while shrugging off a host of aggressive tackles. Despite his shirt being pulled, the young 5-foot-6-inch winger was unfazed, keeping balance and gliding past his markers before threading a pass to graduating senior forward Anthony Bhangdia, whose shot was deflected back into play and into the path of the tenacious winger who pounced on the loose ball and buried it in the bottom right corner.

How Arsenal overcame the magic of the Santiago Bernabéu

By Bharat Singh | April 18

Echoes of Thierry Henry’s iconic 2006 performance rung throughout the Santiago Bernabéu as Bukayo Saka deftly lifted the ball over an outstretched Thibaut Courtois. Sending the tiny pocket of Arsenal fans tucked away in the steep balconies into delirium, the English starlet had killed any hopes of a classic ‘remontada.’ Real Madrid — the competition’s most decorated club, having won six of the last 11 editions, including last year’s title — had been outclassed.

The beautiful game of 1980

By Bharat Singh | February 25

If the modern football fan took a time machine to the year 1980, they’d notice a few similarities but a lot more differences. Arsenal, just as they did last weekend, lost to West Ham 1–0, only in a game with higher stakes, the FA CupFinal. Nottingham Forest won their second consecutive UEFA Champions League, then known as the European Cup, against Hamburger SV –– two finalists with contrasting current situations. Forest is third in the Premier League and dreaming of returning to Europe, whilst Hamburg is first in the 2. Bundesliga, Germany’s second division.

Isco: A poetic reunion

By Bharat Singh | February 21

Tucked less than 20 km west of Málaga on Spain’s Southern Costa de Sol lies the quiet town of Benálmadena. In addition to its quintessential Andalusian beaches and historic architecture, the town is home to one of Spain’s greatest midfield talents: Francisco Román Alcarón Suárez, known to the world as Isco.

‘Gladiator II’: A brave sequel in the shadows of its original

By Bharat Singh | December 10

Disclaimer: This review contains spoilers for “Gladiator II.”“I will see you again, but not yet. Not yet,” Djimon Hounsou’s character, Juba, muttered in an empty Colosseum as the closing line of Ridley Scott’s 2000 masterpiece “Gladiator.” To the backdrop of Lisa Gerrard and Hans Zimmer’s riveting “Now We Are Free” track, a lone soldier’s arm gently ruffles through a wheat field lit by soft golden rays — a moment etched in cinematic history.

The Final Whistle: The Bernabéu’s Turkish prodigy

By Bharat Singh | November 14

Turkish talent has dazzled European clubs with its brilliance for over a decade. From La Liga veteran Arda Turan, a key member of Atlético Madrid’s 2014 title-winning side, to Nuri Şahin, the former Borussia Dortmund star who now manages the club, to Hakan Çalhanoglu, who continues to spearhead Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan, Türkiye is a talent factory on an upward trajectory on both domestic and international fronts. Its leading clubs, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, have rich histories. Its latest and possibly most promising icon is Real Madrid’s 19-year-old Arda Güler. With Madrid facing a mid-season crisis, the spotlight could shine brighter than ever on the boy from Altingad.

The Final Whistle: David De Gea’s golden gloves

By Bharat Singh | October 18

A collective wave of groans echoed throughout the Stadio Artemio Franchi as the referee pointed to the spot. A quick passing combination had released Christian Pulisic into space as he darted towards goal. Despite losing his balance, the American was able to swiftly direct the ball towards Tijjani Reijnders before he was fouled by Luca Ranieri — penalty to A.C Milan. Fiorentina’s early graft for a 1–0 lead now seemed pointless as Theo Hernandez steadied himself at the spot.

The Final Whistle: Karim Adeyemi, Dortmund’s latest wunderkind

By Bharat Singh | October 3

A combination of neat triangle passes deep into the Dortmund half was broken by the Celtic press, as Gregor Kobel launched a long ball forward. Guinea’s Serhou Guirassy was the first to react, steadying himself before gently caressing the soccer ball towards Julian Brandt with a deft touch. With runners on each side and a scrambling Celtic backline, Brandt threaded a pass into the path of Karim Adeyemi. Signal Iduna Park roared their star on as Adeyemi buried the ball beyond veteran goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. 2–1.

Merseyside welcomes Federico Chiesa

By Bharat Singh | September 19

The last noteworthy Italian to grace Anfield was Mario Balotelli. Enigmatic to say the least, widely remembered for his title-winning assist to Sergio Aguero for Manchester City Football Club and a scintillating 2012 UEFA European Football Championship campaign, Balotelli was a breath of fresh air for a stale Liverpool Football Club.
