Ligue 1 Talents Who Could Force Their Way into Potential France World Cup Squad

Didier Deschamps named his squad for France’s World Cup 2014 qualifying play-offs with Ukraine on Thursday, and there were no surprises, as reported by ESPN FC.

Best Stadium Tifos of All Time

While the main focus at a football match is naturally enough the players themselves, in many parts of the world that is hard to remember.

The Top 10 Points Runs in Formula 1 History

There might not be a great deal for Ferrari to shout about at the moment, but did you know they broke a Formula One record in Abu Dhabi last weekend?

England vs. Argentina: The Key Battles

England and Argentina meet for the third time this year on Saturday, with all the omens pointing to a comfortable England win.

ATP World Tour Finals 2013: Schedule and Predictions for Friday

After Friday, only one semifinalist will remain to be decided at the ATP World Tour Finals.  Not surprisingly, the top two players in the world—Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic—have already booked a spot in the Final Four in London, but the picture after Rafa in Group A is still quite muddled heading into Friday.

Phil Mickelson hopes to capture the one major championship that has eluded him throughout his Hall of Fame career—the U.S. Open—by strategically planning his 2014 tournament schedule around it.
