Great Britain Olympic Soccer Team: Starting XI Options for Stuart Pearce

Stuart Pearce’s men will kick off against Senegal on Thursday having not yet won a match whilst playing as a collective unit. Last Friday’s friendly against Brazil revealed with startling clarity the difficulty that awaits the first British team to play since 1971. There was a clear lack of cohesion within all ranks of the squad. The defence was poorly organised, no one led the midfield... 

USA Olympic Women’s Soccer Team: Roster, Complete Schedule & More

Michael Phelps versus Ryan Lochte. Usain Bolt versus Yohan Blake. Team USA basketball versus a bunch of countries they really should beat. The above are three of the most talked-about storylines heading into the 2012 London Olympics. And I’m excited to see all three play out. But I’m just as excited to see if the U.S. women’s national team can avenge its loss to Japan in the 2011... 

Ernie Els: Where 2012 British Open Victory Ranks Among Golfer’s Other Major Wins

Ernie Els‘ 2012 British Open championship this past weekend was by far the most impressive victory of his golfing career. Els was completely under the radar until the final few holes at Royal Lytham & St. Annes during Sunday’s final round. His superb play down the stretch and Adam Scott’s collapse on the final four holes (Scott bogeyed each) opened the door for the South African... 

Olympic Soccer: Looking for a Team? Uruguay an Intriguing Option for Neutrals

Three days before the men’s soccer tournament begins at the 2012 Summer Olympics, the major roles have been filled, the basic plot points sketched and ready. Don’t forget the details, though, or the guys in powder blue. If the Olympic script was already written, it would go something like this. Brazil, the most successful team in international soccer history with five World Cup titles,... 

Andy Roddick’s Recent Resurgence and What It Means for the Olympics

Hard to believe that Andy Roddick has completely turned around his 2012 season after a rough start. He has won two of his last three tournaments and compiled an 11-1 record in the process. Granted, both titles were 250 ATP events—no Wimbledon—but the achievement still means a lot to Roddick, who has successfully won a tournament or more every year since he turned pro in 2000. With 32 titles,... 

Mexico Olympic Soccer Team: 6 Players to Watch at the London Games

Mexico has never won an Olympic medal in soccer, but El Tri is ready to change that. To accomplish the feat, Luis Fernando Tena has set a young but talented squad with players like Marco Fabián, Hiram Mier and Javier Aquino, to name a few. The under-23 team won the 2011 Pan American Games held in Guadalajara and the CONCACAF Pre-Olympic; something they failed to do in... 

20 Greatest Tennis Moments in Olympic History

Tennis emerged as part of the modern Olympics in 1896. It was one of the original nine events included in the first Summer Games held in Athens. In the first year of competition, John Pius Boland of England won the singles title. He teamed with German Friedrich Traun to win the men’s doubles in the only two tennis competitions held that year. Britain’s three-time Wimbledon champion Charlotte... 

John Isner and Rays of Hope in American Tennis

With Andy Roddick capturing his second tournament win in his past three events in Atlanta yesterday, it seems American tennis is in a decent state at the moment. However, A-Rod will soon be gone from the sport, as will Mardy Fish and James Blake (and Michael Russell, if that counts for anything). People can take their place, but those new icons may not be strong enough as players to duplicate the success... 

Rafael Nadal: How Withdrawal from the Olympics Could Help Him Win the US Open

Rafael Nadal certainly did not want to withdraw from playing tennis in the 2012 Olympics. Nadal is not a bystander. He is the defending gold medalist in men’s singles, and the chosen flag bearer for Spain. Nadal stated via the Associated Press that “This is one of the saddest days of my career as one of my biggest ambitions, that of being Spain’s flag bearer in the opening ceremony... 

2012 German F1 GP: Sebastian Vettel Penalty Underscores Stewards’ Inconsistency

The 20-second time penalty handed to Sebastian Vettel after the completion of the 2012 German Grand Prix may well have been the absolutely correct, but it was also devastatingly unfair and exposed the inconsistency that has become the hallmark of Formula One stewards. Vettel had caught a struggling Jenson Button on the penultimate lap of the race and pulled up alongside and slightly ahead—with...
