After months of speculation, and a summer of luck results, Monday finally brought the confirmation that Bob Bradley won’t be jetting across the pond to Villa Park and will remain USMNT Head Coach through the 2014 World Cup. Great. Don’t get me wrong, Bradley has produced some unexpected and fantastic results. The Confederations Cup immediately springs to mind, as well as (albeit...

The World Cup was disappointing, but it has gone. While some fans will choose to spend the next four years in dismay, the England staff and players must move on. The 2014 World Cup is in the distance and is not the current issue for the England national team. England have been handed a tough Euro 2012 qualifying group, and it is a group they will start this week in difficult circumstances. ...

I have previously written an article about Tomas Berdyech and Robin Soderling regarding how I expected them to shine this U.S. Open, yet watching their first round matches I saw the complete opposite of what I expected.

The collective sighs you heard last night from the TV commentators, fans and U.S. Open officials did not come from the great display of tennis in Arthur Ashe Stadium. In reality, they were because Rafael Nadal survived his opening 2010 U.S. Open tennis match against unranked Teymuraz Gabashvili.

So, despite losing over $100 million in his highly publicized divorce, Tiger Woods is still planning to build his mega mansion on Jupiter Island in Florida.

The old saying goes no one wins in a divorce; it’s just degrees of losing. And Tiger and Elin would probably agree with that sentiment. But now that they both have to pick up the pieces and start new lives apart from each other, it will be interesting to see who actually benefits most from their new-found independence. Will Elin disappear from the public, like she says she will? Will Tiger move...

The thing you have to admire about Rafael Nadal is that he wishes only to play the game of tennis, not talk about it. He makes no pretense of being the Great Communicator like his rival, Roger Federer. As pundits corner him and ask him to reflect upon the game and his place in it, Nadal simply shrugs and smiles, not really sure how to gauge his place in the game currently, or the past––or...
