Welcome to the Hex. With its 3-1 home victory over Guatemala on Tuesday night, the United States men’s national team qualified for the final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying—or the Hex as it’s popularly known. In the Hex, six teams will compete in home-and-home matches next year for three automatic berths to the 2014 World Cup (the schedule has not yet been released). The fourth-place...

The excitement of the FedEx Cup championship and the Ryder Cup may be over, but nonetheless, there’s still plenty to look forward to on the golf calendar. And it carries on this week with the McGladrey Classic, marking the third of four Fall Series events.

Let’s start with a reality check. Team USA have a long way to go. They have undoubted character, a charismatic and committed coach and some capable players at their disposal, but this is not a team looking good for the knockout stages at World Cup 2014. Not yet. Jurgen Klinsmann‘s USMNT are a work in progress. They were shown up defensively by lowly Guatemala in last night’s match...

The setting was the Stadion Mladost in Kruševac for the early evening kick-off between Serbia’s and England’s Under-21 squads. For lengthy portions of the match, Stuart Pearce’s young team were under pressure from the opposition; not only from the players on the pitch, who bombarded their box with crosses and long-range efforts, but also from the partisan crowd, who had decided...

Graham Zusi, one of the newest stars of the United States men’s national team, would never be the one to tell you about how well he’s been doing as a player. Don’t get me wrong, he’ll talk about the team and their effort all day long, but he doesn‘t seem to like talking about himself. That’s one of the many things to like about the 26-year-old native of Orlando,...

Felipe Massa is the luckiest driver in the Formula One paddock at the moment. Quite aside from the miraculous survival and recovery after taking a high speed spring to the head and crashing in Budapest in 2009—an incident that almost claimed his life—Massa now seems to have escaped with his racing life. After a dreadful couple of seasons as Fernando Alonso’s sidekick at Ferrari,...

In 1950, Italian Guiseppe Farina won the inaugural Formula One season, taking victory in half of the races in which he and his Alfa Romeo 158 competed (the Indy 500 was then part of the F1 calendar, but the European teams did not participate). Then came the great Alberto Ascari, who won back-to-back world titles in 1952 and 1953. Ascari, in the dominant Ferrari 500, won nine straight races (again...

You’re looking at one happy man. After Cesare Prandelli’s Italian side gave three unconvincing performances to start World Cup qualifying, the Azzurri went into their most important game with their feet on the gas and came out vindicated. The Danish side the Italians faced today looked to be the Italy’s toughest obstacle on the road to Brazil. FIGC showed how important they...
