Wayne Rooney: England Can Challenge for World Cup 2014 with United Man Firing

The Wayne Rooney of now is a far different animal to that which set Euro 2004 alight with some quite magnificent virtuoso performances.

Brandt Snedeker Wins AT&T Pebble Beach, Mickelson on to LA

Brandt Snedeker is a different breed of golfer.  He plays fast.  He’s a wizard on the greens.  He doesn’t think he’s a great ball-striker yet.  And after years of watching Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson bomb drives, he’s taken inspiration from Jim Furyk, David Toms and Steve Stricker. Snedeker’s 2013 has been like he never stopped after...

Marin Cilic won the 2013 Zagreb Indoors tournament on Sunday, besting Austria’s Jurgen Melzer 6-3, 6-1.

VTR Open 2013: Finals Loss Proves Rafael Nadal Is Still Far from Contending

Fans were thrilled to see Rafael Nadal back on the court this week. Unfortunately, it will be a little longer until he is the competitor of old. After winning his first three singles matches at the VTR Open with relative ease, the Spanish star fell to Horacio Zeballos in the finals 6-7, 7-6, 6-4.
