Birthday Tribute to Arnold “The King” Palmer

Arnold Palmer will celebrate his 84th birthday Tuesday, September 10, at home in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Palmer brought professional golf onto television sets all across the land and drew working class America to the game of golf. A cigarette dangling from his lips, a tug at the waist of his trousers and his “go for broke” style enamored men and women alike. He bridged the gap between Ben... 

Brazil vs. Portugal: Highlighting Top Stars in High-Profile Friendly

Brazil and Portugal will descend upon Foxborough, Mass., Tuesday night for what should be an entertaining friendly. Portugal will be riding high after their 4-2 win over Northern Ireland. They went top of Group F in 2014 World Cup qualification. They do have a game in hand over Russia, so it’s a lead that could be short-lived. At the very least, Portugal got that much closer to ensuring a playoff... 

Daniel Sturridge Under Fire from England Fans After Liverpool Interview

Daniel Sturridge has defended himself on Twitter after coming under an avalanche of abuse for a recent interview, in which he said the primary focus of his career was Liverpool—not England. The in-form striker, who has been forced to miss England’s World Cup qualifiers with Moldova and Ukraine due to injury, told Liverpool’s official website that his priority is the Reds—because... 

Assessing the 2014 F1 Calendar: Race Numbers, New Tracks and Circuits Axed

The 2014 Formula One calendar will have a very different look about it if the provisional calendar published on Autosport on Friday stays as is. New races on the 21-strong season include Austria, Russia and Mexico, while there is no place for India or the New Jersey race which has yet again been held up by a lack of progress.  So it the new calendar better or worse for these additions and... 

USA vs. Mexico: USMNT Must Take Full Advantage of El Tri’s Turmoil

The United States heads into Tuesday night’s World Cup qualifier against rival Mexico with a chance to lock up a spot in next summer’s marquee event. In order to do that, the American squad must make sure it doesn’t provide El Tri with a ray of hope after a tumultuous stretch. Even though the United States suffered a lackluster 3-1 loss to Costa Rica last week, it’s still in... 

Roy Hodgson and His Surprisingly Easy Time in the Press

Roy Hodgson gets a surprisingly easy ride from the English press. From the thinly-veiled xenophobia suffered by Sven Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello, to the naked mockery of Graham Taylor and Steve McClaren, the press have a habit of making a punchline out of any manager that doesn’t win the World Cup. There is criticism of Hodgson of course, much of it hyperbolic but very little, if any of...

Rafael Nadal vs. Novak Djokovic: Rivalry Will Go Down as Greatest of Its Era

50 Greatest Defenders in World Football History

Being a defender is at times a thankless task. The best indication of the men at the back doing their job is when they pass blissfully unnoticed through the 90 minutes.  If they start to make headlines, unless it is for scoring, that is when alarm bells start going off. For precisely that reason, the best teams in the world possess defences that provide a stable anchor and make life easier for...
