U.S. Soccer: Addressing the Demands for Bob Bradley’s Firing

Now, I do not pretend to know too much about soccer. I just started watching it consistently last year, and that was only because of the World Cup. However, the die-hard fans of U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team are completely off about the coaching of the team. Since Bob Bradley took over the team after the 2006 World Cup disaster, they have experienced more success than I certainly could imagine. They... 

Gold Cup 2011: The U.S. Loss to Mexico or Rather the ‘Rumble in the Rose Bowl’

The US was upended by Mexico tonight in the 2011 Gold Cup Final 4-2. The 90,000 fans that packed into the Rose Bowl on this beautiful summer night saw a game that will go down as one of the greats in this storied rivalry. The US did what every announcer, critic, and fan said they should do: score early. They did it not only once, but twice. Logically it was an ideal way to start. Everyone assumed that... 

2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup: Bob Bradley Must Be Sacked

I have been waiting months to finally write this one. I’ve been waiting too long to get this off my chest, and now, I have my chance. And so I seize the opportunity in the style of Giovani dos Santos, who made Tim Howard curse the day Pasadena became his manager’s Waterloo. Mr. Robert Bradley. You have made a most admirable, gallant effort in defending what little reputation you had left...

Men’s Tennis: Rafael Nadal’s Comments About Tennis Eras Are Questionable

I recently read a very interesting comment on an ATP website attributed to Rafael Nadal about the difference in tennis today and tennis in the 1990s.  Nadal is quoted as saying: “Personally, to watch a Pete Sampras versus Goran Ivanisevic match, or one between those kind of players, is not enjoyable. It’s not really tennis, it is a few swings of the racquet. It was less eye-catching... 

2011 Wimbledon: What to Expect from the Big Four with Week 2 Looming

Djokovic and Murray are looking to avenge their French Open semifinal defeat to the same hands that gathered together a total of 26 majors.

Wimbledon 2011: Maria Sharapova and the 10 Loudest Grunters

Grunting has become, in the opinion of many, an ugly side of tennis, but is it really that bad? It has become a part of the game, especially in the women’s draw—where about 70 percent do it—and it reflects what an energy sapping sport tennis is. It can be argued that grunting originated from the likes of Jimmy Connors and Monica Seles, but in the eyes of Martina Navratilova, it has... 

Rafael Nadal: Why the Defending Champion Will Not Win Wimbledon in 2011

It wasn’t long ago that the big question in the world of tennis was if Roger Federer was the greatest player of all time. He was racking up Grand Slam titles at a record pace, and no one seemed able to defeat him. Then along came Federer’s kryptonite in the form of Rafael Nadal.
