The American Home Guard, Major League Soccer players on the U.S. Men’s National Team, stepped up big time in Tuesday night’s Mexican cage match.

Brazil vs. Portugal: Score, Grades and Post-Match Reaction

Tactically and Technically Wanting, England Are Not Genuine World Cup Contenders

When you say it out loud, it’s fairly obvious. Roy Hodgson’s England are not genuine contenders for the World Cup. No matter how you slice it, even if England win their two remaining qualifiers and secure qualification for Brazil 2014, they have no hope. A last eight spot (if that) is optimistic. A last-16 one may be also, considering that only San Marino and Moldova have been put to the... 

Formula 1: What Now for Nico Hulkenberg, Paul Di Resta and Jules Bianchi?

Ranking the 6 Best Flankers of All Time

Of all ranking lists for positions in rugby union, selecting the six all-time best flankers is the most difficult. Flankers are the fans’ favourites because of the everyman role they perform.

They are generally the most... 

Brazil vs Portugal: Neymar’s Performance Fortifies Status as World-Class Striker

Brazil defeated Portugal 3-1 in an international friendly on Tuesday at Foxboro’s Gillette Stadium, where American fans were able to witness the magnificence of Neymar, the 21-year-old Brazilian prodigy.
