Brazil may have earned themselves a 1-1 draw with Russia at Stamford Bridge on Monday night, but they would not have felt like celebrating. Fred’s last-minute equaliser aside, there was a lot of effort expended for very little in the way of demonstrable success for Luiz Felipe Scolari‘s side at Stamford Bridge.

Mexico will take on arch rivals in the United States in a 2014 World Cup qualifier this week—a match that is sure to live up to the rivalry that precedes it. The United States have never beaten El Tri in Mexico in a professional match, and will seemingly be hard pressed to do the same here. The Azteca Stadium (capacity 105,000-plus) will be sold out and full of noise, making for a very intimidating...

Currently six points clear in first place and with only one defeat through their 10 matches so far, La Albiceleste have been incredibly dominant throughout the tournament.

The Phoenix is the immortal bird that, when it dies, bursts into flames and is reborn from its own ashes. After his record-tying eighth win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Tiger Woods has risen from the ashes and returned to his familiar spot on top of the Official World Golf Rankings. This marked the 11th time Woods moved to the top of the rankings, but the first time since October 2010. That...

Costa Rica have lodged an official protest with FIFA in the wake of Friday’s part-World Cup Qualifier, part-snow fight at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo. You’d be hard-pressed to say they don’t have a case. By the end of the game, the entire pitch—with the exception of the sidelines and penalty area lines—was covered in a thick blanket of snow....

After winning the 2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational on Monday, Woods now has three victories in four PGA Tour stroke-play events this year. He also won the WGC-Cadillac Championship and the Farmers Insurance Open. According to Bovada, Woods has 11/4 odds to win the Masters this year. Perhaps what has been most impressive about...

Team USA has never beaten El Tri in Mexico during a professional match through the last 69 years, but will be looking to break that with a strong performance here. If the USMNT are going to break their incredible winless streak in Mexico, then it’s going...
