The USMNT went down 1-0 early, but roared back in the first half. The defense came together in the second half and kept Guatemala off the board to secure all three points. It also prevented Guatemala from advancing to the next...

Sometimes it’s just not your year. On the pro golf tour, you are getting tested every season. In some years, you may get some breaks where you are not playing great but your shots may end up in the right spot and your putter is working sensationally. You may end up with greater earnings and better finishes than you thought you deserved. But in other years, it goes the other way. You just didn’t...

The title says it all. The 18 holes you’re about to see make up my dream 18 holes. The criteria? It’s not necessarily based on difficulty, or necessarily on the “eye-test.” It’s not even based on playability. Some I have played, some I have seen, some I have watched others play. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and, in my eyes, history is always...

England settled for a 1-1 draw versus Poland Tuesday night, but it was far from the side’s best game. Several players didn’t put their best foot forward. In all thirds of the field, England lacked creativity and struggled to keep possession. All in all, it was a sloppy match. Both sides seemed unsure of themselves, but England carries larger expectations on their back. Let’s look...

So at last the roof was closed and Roy Hodgson learned some more about his new England charges, but the players showed they hadn’t learned enough from the Boss. They say that great teams grind out results when they are not playing well. So now we know that England aren’t that great. England’s FIFA ranking continues to astound some people. A month ago they were third in the world....

With the conclusion of England and Poland’s postponed match, we can close the book on another month of enthralling action in 2014 World Cup qualification. As we stand now, 120 teams are competing for 31 spots to join Brazil in the world’s biggest competition.

The England team was lethargic in Warsaw on Wednesday—perhaps they were tasked with assisting the Polish FA with closing the roof that afternoon—but whatever the reason, they needed an injection of fresh faces, and fresh ideas. Kudos to Roy Hodgson for Tom Cleverley’s selection, but other than that? The team selection was fairly predictable, and tired. With a squad of 23 to choose...

In another frustrating performance, England were able to grind out a 1-1 draw in Poland after the ridiculous attempt to play the game on Tuesday night. England’s poor passing and inability to control the game was their undoing once again, and although they were hindered by a poor pitch, that’s not an excuse that is greeted with any favourable response. The game acted as a good opportunity...

Where would Argentina be without Lionel Messi? Probably not atop the World Cup qualifying standings. But luckily, nobody has to think about that. In his latest display of heroics on Tuesday, Messi scored another goal to lead his side to a 2-1 win over Chile, which gives Argentina a 6-2-1 record and a total of 20 points in the standings. Ecuador is three points behind at 17, and Columbia is in third...
