Japan and Republic of Korea: Why Are They the Success Stories of Asian Football?

Explaining what makes one country successful over another is incredibly difficult; just why are Brazil so much better than England, and what makes Spain more successful in recent years than the USA?

White Elephants and Wasted Millions: A Warning To the World Cup Hopefuls

You’d expect problems with pachyderms in South Africa, where elephants roam the game reserves in tree-chomping hordes. But since the World Cup, white elephants are the problem. A small herd of them.

Formula 1: Abu Dhabi Preview, Notes, and Rants

This Sunday will be the final showdown in Abu Dhabi. Mathematically, four drivers have a shot at the title. But in reality, there are two in the mix.  Fernando Alonso only needs to pop his Ferrari into cruise control to take home the title. Mark Webber, on the other hand, needs a bit more help. Even if he does win the race, he’ll need someone in between himself and Alonso if he wants to... 

Andy Roddick, Tomas Berdych, David Ferrer Confirm Places for World Tour Finals

PGA Tour Plays Chicken With European Players

We all know that the Euros got the best of our last encounter at the Ryder Cup. I thought we were going to have to wait two years to see a rematch, but the PGA and European Tours are giving us a bit of a rematch less than 2 months later.
