Mexico and New Zealand are getting ready for a two-legged playoff to be held next month. Although El Tri have a stronger side—they sit 24th in the FIFA World Rankings, while the Kiwis rank 79th—there are some players that the team must be wary of.

He got fined—so Red Bull did the only obvious thing, and took a Formula 1 car for a spin on the helipad of the Burj Al Arab.

It has been a continuing trend of recent years that Brazil’s strength lies in its defensive solidity. And the Selecao‘s first-choice central defence of Thiago Silva and David Luiz, as two of the most in demand players in Europe, will be at the core of the country’s World Cup challenge in 2014.

Picture the scene. It’s the Maracana on July 13. The World Cup final: Brazil vs. Spain. Fanatical supporters are making one hell of a noise, the anticipation has reached fever pitch. The game gets underway. And then, whenever a certain Brazilian comes into possession, the cheers turn and the carnival atmosphere goes dark. There are boos, almost unanimous from the 76,000 in attendance. The...
