Rafael Nadal Proves Status as Best in the World with 8th French Open Title

In one of the most extraordinary feats in the history of tennis, Rafael Nadal won the French Open for the eighth time. As a result, Nadal moved into the ranks of history, becoming the only player to win the same Grand Slam event on eight separate occasions. More importantly, Nadal solidified his status as the best player in the world. It wasn’t quite the smooth sailing we’d come to expect,... 

USA vs. Panama: United States Must Seize Opportunity at Home

When the United States host Panama in Seattle on Tuesday  night, it will be a brilliant opportunity for the United States to go atop the group with half of their Hexagonal games in the bag.  In other words, anything less than a win will be a major disappointment and a golden chance wasted. It may be far from a must-win situation, but three points on Tuesday would put the team in a very comfortable... 

Ecuador vs. Argentina: Score, Grades and Post-Match Reaction

With Ecuador and Argentina perched atop their World Cup qualifying group, each side stood to gain even more ground with a win on Tuesday. Neither side took advantage of the opportunity with a victory, however, playing to a tense 1-1 draw. It didn’t take long for Argentina to jump out to an early lead in the contest. In just the fourth minute of action, Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero was... 

Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and the Issue of Legacies

It was at the 2005 French Open that the clay court reign of King Rafael Nadal began. Less than 10 years after, it may be argued that his tennis legacy already exceeds that of Roger Federer. It was at the 2005 French Open that Rafael Nadal for the first time announced himself to the wider world of sport and began his clay court reign, which has continued to this day. An impressive semifinal win over... 

Messi Cameo Uneventful, but Argentina Earn Impressive Draw in Ecuador

They had to fight for it, but Argentina will be pleased with their share of the points from Tuesday’s 1-1 draw against Ecuador in World Cup qualifying. Not once in their previous six World Cup qualifier matches, at the altitude of Quito, had Ecuador failed to record a win, and that the streak is over speaks volumes about the side that ended it; a side often passed over when discussing World Cup... 

Javier Mascherano Earns Red Card for Kicking Medic in Argentina Draw vs Ecuador

Whether he is in the colours of Barcelona or playing for the Argentina team, there is no denying that Javier Mascherano is a feisty customer on the pitch. Usually, though, his tough tackling is confined to those on the opposing team.  On Tuesday evening, however, the central midfielder made an exception and earned himself one of the most bizarre red cards of recent years.  Nearing the final... 

US Open Odds 2013: Expert Outlook for Tiger Woods and More

The 2013 U.S. Open is set to tee off in just two days, and Tiger Woods will enter the tournament as the prohibitive favorite to walk away the winner at Merion Golf Club.  His favored status among oddsmakers should be no surprise. He is ranked as the No. 1 player in the world and has four wins in eight events played on the season after all.  However, he won’t win without a challenge.... 

French Open 2013: Final Report Card for the Top Stars at Roland Garros

The trophies have been handed out and the dust has settled after a fascinating two weeks in Paris for the French Open.

Phil Mickelson Will Be in Contention on Final Day at 2013 U.S. Open

Phil Mickelson had three top-five finishes at the U.S. Open from 2008 to 2010 before the wheels fell off. But there are a couple reasons why I believe Lefty will contend for the 2013 U.S. Open championship on the final day at Merion Golf Club. For one, Mickelson has had two top-three finishes in his last three tournaments. He’s coming off a second-place finish at the FedEx St. Jude Classic in... 

Haiti vs. Italy: Score, Grades and Post-Match Reaction

Although it was a friendly, Haiti displayed great resolve by scoring two late goals to earn a draw against Italy with a score of 2-2. This was another disappointing result for Italy after Friday’s draw against Czech Republic in World Cup qualifying. Although the squad remains on top of Group B in UEFA, the lack of offense was certainly concerning. By giving up a late two-goal lead, the squad...
