Spain vs. France: La Furia Roja Must Find Go-to Striker to Win 2014 World Cup

Like they’ve done so many times before in international football, Spain came, they saw, and they conquered. This time it was European rivals France playing in their own backyard, who were no doubt full of confidence after watching the world champions struggle against Finland and knowing that they themselves had taken points off Spain last time they played. Yet in spite of that, as well as their... 

Shell Houston Open 2013: Tee Times, Date and TV Schedule

You’re up, Rory. At the Shell Houston Open this week, Rory McIlroy will try to regain his No. 1 world ranking in his final tuneup before The Masters. New Nike teammate Tiger Woods displayed dominant form for his second start in a row, winning for the eighth time at Bay Hill in the Arnold Palmer Invitational this past Sunday.

USA vs. Mexico: Biggest Standout Performers for USMNT in Epic Draw

The United States’ recent 0-0 draw against Mexico might not have seemed like a huge result, but given the context and the implications, it’s a result that Jurgen Klinsmann is no doubt be very happy with. Having never beaten Mexico in Mexico in a World Cup qualifier—and only picking up one point ever before—the USMNT‘s ability to hold firm against everything that El Tri... 

World Cup 2014: What France Need to Do to Be a Realistic Challenger in Brazil

France’s World Cup 2014 qualification hopes took a severe hit on Tuesday when they were beaten by Group I rivals Spain, 1-0, in Paris. The result meant that Spain leapfrogged France to the top of the group by a single point with only three matches left to play. Having already held Spain to a draw in the reverse fixture, and seen Finland do the same last week, France would have been extremely... 

Phil Mickelson’s Flop Shot over Roger Cleveland Demands Your Attention

If you are going to let anyone strike a flop shot directly over your head, make sure that person is Phil Mickelson.  Golf Channel brings us this video of Lefty taking a full swing with Callaway Golf‘s chief club designer, Roger Cleveland, standing just a few feet in front of him.  I guess any disaster could have just been blamed on the clubs.  As the report mentions,... 

United States: Poison Pen Fires Jurgen Klinsmann and Team to World Cup Success

Napoleon Bonaparte had a wonderful turn of phrase for describing the power of the press: “Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.” It avoids the now overused phrase coined by English playwright Edward Bulwer-Lytton that the pen is mightier than the sword, but both men recognised the power of the written word. Jurgen Klinsmann will never have the same standing... 

Why Belgium Are Equipped to Contend at the World Cup in Brazil

On Sept. 5—two days before Belgium opened their 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign away to Wales—prominent Brussels-based daily La Derniere Heure ran a photo of the national team on its front page, accompanied by the headline, “Les Diables, 3e Equipe la Pus Chere Due Monde.” “The Devils, 3rd most expensive team in the world.” To arrive at its conclusion, La DH had... 

Javier Hernandez Must Improve Play for Mexico to Reach World Cup

It’s a little early to suggest that Mexico is in serious trouble in World Cup qualifying after just three hexagonal games, but if Javier Hernandez continues to struggle finishing opportunities like he did on Tuesday evening against the United States, things could get very tense for El Tri. After three hexagonal games, Mexico has managed just three draws despite being the prohibitive favorites... 

Lionel Messi Will Bounce Back Strong After Rare Lackluster Showing vs. Bolivia

In the future, when sports historians look back on the illustrious career of Lionel Messi, it’s safe to say Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against Bolivia will get bypassed. That is unless they are looking for a rare example of him playing like a mere mortal. Messi and his Argentina teammates struggled with the high altitude of Estadio Hernando Siles, which is nearly 12,000 feet above sea...
