After 34 years, Mexico reached the semifinal of the U-20 World Cup. The first time the squad did so was in 1977, the inaugural edition of the tournament. The team’s qualification wasn’t much of a surprise and didn’t catch the eye of media or fans, at least not until the round of 16. During the group stage Mexico didn’t show much. A 1-0 defeat against Argentina was...

Tiger Woods being left off of the Presidents Cup Team? Five years ago that statement would have sounded about as ridiculous as a Wall Street executive apologizing for being greedy. But this is not 2006, and even U.S. Presidents Cup captain Fred Couples seems to have been rattled by the state of Woods’ game at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, where he tied for 37th, and the PGA Championship,...

The last golf tournament Tiger Woods won came all the way back in mid-November of 2009 at the JBWere Masters. After winning multiple tournaments every year between 1996 and 2009, he now seems like just an average professional golfer at best. Woods just recently came back from a left knee injury, and has played two subpar tournaments. His result at the PGA Championship last week was one of the worst...

The final part of the Midseason Retrospective looks at the top three teams—the current Big Guns of Formula 1. Ferrari Fernando Alonso is more than ready for a third World Championship, but in this sport you need to be in the right car. It doesn’t help when a car moves up and down the grid throughout the year, as Ferrari did in 2010 and again in 2011. Ferrari is, however, working...

If you haven’t noticed by now, I’m a big fan of Mexican soccer. However, one of the funniest subjects when it comes to Mexican soccer is the fact that some of the team’s mascots are hilarious. The good thing is that some are actually interesting and don’t make the fans embarrass themselves. So here we go, and I will rank the mascots of all 18 teams in the league. The Criteria: How...

In 1956 I was on leave from the Coast Guard and had my first camera in hand As I arrived at Elkhart Lake in 1956, I took this shot—one of my first anywhere. This was the start of the feature race and drivers were milling around their cars, getting ready for a standing start. Carroll Shelby won the race in a Ferrari against a very good field of D-Jaguars and other potent entries. Road America...
