2010 FIFA World Cup: Missed Opportunity Forces Hand in U.S. Elimination

The United States Men’s National Team was consistent in the 2010 World Cup. In all four matches the Americans took the field, they were consistently on their heels against competition in South Africa. The U.S. continued a similar trend on Saturday that proved costly, far from the comfort of the group stages where you can get away with a loss. The U.S. suffered its first defeat in South Africa—a...

And I’m sure many other people would have done too. It came as a shock then, to hear not one of these names read out when the All Black selectors... 

Wimbledon 2010: The LTA Gets a Consolation Prize Through British Duo

Eight bites of the British strawberry headed into Round One of the singles events at Wimbledon. Only one, however, was to emerge victorious.

Loew Expectations? 10 Questions for the Germany vs. England Clash

Everyone loves a big game that’s rooted in tradition. There’s something about old demons, rich tales of yore and those grainy black and white video montages they show before games that just elevate the expectations of an otherwise vanilla clash. Perhaps no two European football giants embody this type of match more than Germany and England. Students of the game that produce legendary...

John Isner vs Nicolas Mahut: Match of the Century?

Justin Rose Continues British Invasion To Lead the Travelers At-16.

It’s very Hard to play with a 5-6 shot lead as some complacency may occur, as unintended as it might be. None the less, Justin Rose still has a three shot lead going into the final round on Sunday. Rose can be the second player this season to win back to back starts along with Ernie Els. Close by and primed for a good round on Sunday are about 100 people around 10 under par.

Wimbledon 2010: Blockbuster Monday of Tennis for the Ladies in the Round of 16

If you have any plans for Monday, put them aside, because the ladies at Wimbledon have set a most appetizing table to lure you to their courts, away from the normal more masculine fare.  To call it “Blockbuster Monday” is to minimize its significance.  The matchups are staggering, some significant enough to rate as “finals” in most years.  The ladies’... 

Wimbledon 2010: Picking the Round of 16

There are three unseeded players and two other men seeded lower than 16 among the 16 remaining after the first week of play at Wimbledon. However, I don’t see any surprises coming in the fourth round on Monday.   Roger Federer (1) def. Jurgen Melzer (16) It’s kind of interesting that these guys have both been professionals for more than a decade, but have never met. Then again, Melzer...
