Rafael Nadal’s US Open Title Cements Legacy as One of Tennis’ Greatest Ever

Rafael Nadal entered the 2013 year on the short list of greatest tennis players of all time, and that’s only been solidified by his U.S. Open title win over Novak Djokovic on Monday.  Nadal won his 13th career Grand Slam title in the process, and his second in a year that many experts thought he would struggle to return to top form after knee problems late in 2012.  The 27-year-old... 

England Far from World Cup Qualification with Disappointing Roy Hodgson Tactics

First off, congratulations to England for going top of their World Cup qualifying group with the home stretch in sight.

All right, the bottom line is England got the job done against Ukraine... 

Power Ranking Europe’s Top 10 Clubs

A power ranking of Europe’s top 10 clubs cannot be based on a definitive set of criteria, but instead must be a reflection of a team’s success, its history, fan base and spending power. There is no salary cap in France, which gives the Top 14 clubs far more clout with their cheque book, though this cannot always buy success. Not all clubs have wealthy benefactors and instead are based on... 

Jose Manuel De La Torre’s Firing Will Propel Mexico to World Cup

Mexico’s firing of Jose Manuel de la Torre is addition by subtraction.  It’s not often that managers are given the boot in the middle of World Cup qualifying, but Chepo absolutely had to go. He was woefully incompetent and the main reason why Mexico’s hopes at making it to Brazil were consistently decreasing. With the form the United States has shown over the past few months,... 

Ukraine vs. England: Michael Carrick’s Absence Remains a Mystery

As tentative and small as it was, England moved a step closer to the 2014 World Cup after an instantly forgettable 0-0 draw with Ukraine. The point sustains their lead in Group H, keeping them just ahead of their opponents in this game, as well as Montenegro. However, had Michael Carrick been involved, things could have been far more straightforward. It was Ukraine which had the greater chances during...

US Open Tennis 2013: Is Rafael Nadal in the Greatest of All Time Discussion?

On Monday evening, No. 2 Rafael Nadal took out No. 1 Novak Djokovic 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 to win the 2013 U.S. Open. It was his second U.S. Open—his 13th Grand Slam overall—and the win put him in great position to overtake Djokovic at the top of the ATP rankings before the year is up. The win also moved Nadal to within one major of tying Sampras for the No. 2 spot on the all time Grand Slam...

USMNT: What to Expect in Tonight’s World Cup Qualifier Against Mexico

With a 2014 World Cup berth at stake tonight, it’s very surprising to look at the CONCACAF standings and see Mexico sitting in fourth place, five points behind the United States.  For a recent period of time, the United States team was one notch below Mexico in terms of international quality and success, especially in head-to-head matches. Since the United States’ 2011 CONCACAF Gold... 

Ukraine vs. England: 6 Things We Learned

England needed to head to Ukraine and do a job in Kyiv, and in garnering a point against a disappointingly toothless home side, they did just that. A 0-0 draw sees Roy Hodgson’s side remain in pole position for a place in Brazil next summer’s World Cup, at the expense of their hosts who simply didn’t have enough  to get the result they needed in the Olympic Stadium. Here are...
