Do or Die for Mexico’s Football Future in World Cup Playoff

When Mexico play against New Zealand in this month’s two-legged playoff, they will do it for a lot more than just for the last ticket for the World Cup. El Tri have had a tough year. From February, when they started their participation in the Hexagonal with the first-ever draw against Jamaica at the Estadio Azteca, to October, when they lost at Costa Rica for the first time in 21 years. Jose... 

Cote D’Ivoire: The Golden Generation Can Finally Deliver at the World Cup

At the African Cup of Nations earlier this year, it looked like the Cote d’Ivoire’s Golden Generation had finally reached the end. One of the most glorious collections of players in Africa’s history had finally arrived at the end of its cycle; it had won nothing. Back in South Africa, they suffered the ignominy of defeat to local rivals Nigeria. Sunday Mba, an almost-unknown player... 

Wales vs. South Africa: Key Battles to Watch

In over a century of playing international rugby against South Africa, Wales have only managed to beat their Southern Hemisphere opponents once, losing on 24 occasions and drawing the other. That one victory might have come in 1999, but the Welsh will attempt to create a more recent example this weekend when they welcome the Springboks to the Millennium Stadium. In the last four encounters between... 

Sepp Blatter Opens Possibility of 2022 World Cup Being Played Across Middle East

Henrik Stenson Leads but Tiger Woods Is Only 1 Shot Back in Turkish Open

Moving day came early this week as Tiger Woods posted the low round of the day at the Turkish Airlines Open. He made five birdies on his first nine holes and added four more on the back nine in his bogey-free nine-under par 63 in Round 2. Woods was grouped with FedEx Cup winner Henrik Stenson and U.S. Open champion Justin Rose. This high-powered threesome accounted for 17 birdies and no bogeys in the... 

Andy Murray Should Be Concerned as Stars Rise in His Absence

BBC Sport in mid-September announced that Andy Murray would seek to correct a longstanding back issue with surgery and that the 2013 Wimbledon champion would be unlikely to play again this season. With tennis being as cyclical as any other sport in terms of its champions and the power distribution at the top of the game, this meant a great deal to not only the Scot but to his regular opponents... 

Alex Morgan Is the Lionel Messi of Women’s Soccer

Two weeks ago, FIFA unveiled its shortlists for the Ballon d’Or, the award given annually to the world’s best player. To no one’s surprise, Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and the United States women’s national team’s Alex Morgan were on the list. Certainly, their styles, while similar, are not the same. The closest comparison to Messi’s jinking style in the women’s... 

5 Reasons Why You Should Watch Friday Practice

On the Friday before every Formula 1 Grand Prix (except Monaco), there are two 90-minute practice sessions. Monaco has them on Thursdays. Teams use them to work on setups and strategy choices for the coming weekend, while the drivers get an opportunity to learn or re-familiarise themselves with the circuit. Even to an F1 nut, the on-track action tends to be painfully dull. Probably for this reason,... 

Tiger Woods at Turkish Airlines Open 2013: Day 2 Recap and Twitter Reaction

It was a long yet fruitful day of golf for Tiger Woods at the Turkish Airlines Open on Friday as he played 26 holes in dominant fashion after poor weather cut his first round short on Thursday.
