Spain vs. France: Tiki-Taka Masters Lull France out of Euro 2012 Quarterfinals

The countdown to the showdown rolls on, the inevitable remains safely inescapable and Europe’s tiki-taka overlords stay seated atop the continental throne for at least one weekend more. Ho hum?

Wayne Rooney: Star Striker Must Continue to Power Three Lions Attack

There was major trouble for England to start Euro 2012 seeing as how their star player, Wayne Rooney, was suspended for the first two matches of group play.

Wimbledon Tennis 2012: Upsets Waiting to Happen in Round 1

It happens every year at Wimbledon. A few of the top tennis players in the world get ousted in Round 1 by a player you’ve never even heard of.  This year won’t be any different.

Wimbledon 2012: Dark Horse Candidates with the Best Chance to Unseat Djokovic

The trio of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic has had an unprecedented stranglehold on the top of men’s tennis for years. One of those three players has won 28 of the past 29 Grand Slam tournaments, and in all likelihood when the trophy is hoisted this year at Wimbledon on July 8 it will be by one of those men.

Rafael Nadal: Humble Attitude Is What Makes Rafa So Dangerous at Wimbledon

In an era when athletes are quick to crown themselves, Rafael Nadal breaks the mold. San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis recently made headlines when he told a group of football campers, “I will be the best tight end to ever play this game.
