Roger Federer’s Plan for More Rest in 2013 Will Net Him Another Grand Slam

Disappointment struck early in 2013 for tennis legend Roger Federer. But, it won’t last long for the Swiss phenom after he adds another Grand Slam to his record-setting 17 titles. Federer, who lost a five-set marathon to Andy Murray in the Australian Open semifinals, was rested and ready to go in Melbourne. His serve was in prime form, prompting him to go unbroken through the first four rounds...

The biggest losers of the night were the least deserving of that title. They were the people who bought tickets to see the USMNT play Canada on Tuesday. Adding insult to injury, near the end of the 0-0 final, the Houston skies rained on those in attendance at BBVA Compass Stadium. Though drier and not out the cost of tickets, there are the fans who spent 90 minutes of their lives watching the... 

USMNT: Why Klinsmann’s MLS-Heavy Roster Struggled to Scare Canada

It is one thing for the United States national team to spend an entire 90 minutes against a weaker Canada side without finding the back of the net. But truly pressing concerns arise from a group that was utterly futile in terms of chance creation and dangerous play.  With firepower from European-based players set to reinforce the punch in Honduras, there is no need to...

Didier Drogba: Striker Doesn’t Need Africa Cup of Nations Title to Cement Legacy

Didier Drogba is a legend of world football, no matter how the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations plays out. It would be a tad ironic if the Elephants were to finally break their African Cup of Nations duck with Drogba taking a lesser role. He came on as a sub in the country’s 3-0 win against Tunisia. Despite a diminished importance this year, no player has been more vital to Cote d’Ivoire in recent...

5 Reasons Tiger Woods Will Finally End His 5-Year Major Drought in 2013

It is hard to believe five years have gone by since Tiger Woods battled multiple leg injuries to win the 2008 U.S. Open. But fans of the PGA Tour will not have to wait much longer for the living legend to secure the 15th major championship of his storied career. Woods showed significant progress en route to winning the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines last week, which will set the No. 2-ranked... 

John Obi Mikel: Chelsea Midfielder Is Leading Nigeria Resurgence at AFCON 2013

Nigeria will get as deep into the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations as John Obi Mikel can take them. With a 2-0 victory over Ethiopia on Thursday, the Super Eagles finished second in Group C and earned themselves a spot in the knockout stage. They’ll get the Cote d’Ivoire this Sunday in the quarterfinals. It’s positive momentum for a country that has failed to garner much in recent years.... 

USMNT: Fresh Faces Fail to Make Impact in Friendly Against Canada

HOUSTON—The auditions are in, and the regular cast won’t be looking for work anytime soon.

Neither the result nor the impressions will have satisfied.  With the big-name...
