How Clint Dempsey Can Regain Form Before World Cup

With only four months left before the United States men’s national team heads to Brazil for the World Cup, one of the major concerns for head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and U.S. fans has to be the form of the team’s key goalscorer, Clint Dempsey.  In six games on loan with Fulham this winter, he’s scoreless.

Building the Perfect Defensive Midfielder from Attributes of Busquets and Co.

The term “defensive midfielder” does not give a fair indication of all the duties the players patrolling that position are required to perform. The deepest-lying midfielder in any team is ideally a strong tackler, a fine reader of the game and able to distribute the ball with precision.

Mexico: Why Marco Fabian Can Make El Tri’s World Cup Squad

Marco Fabian has one goal in mind: To convince Mexico coach Miguel Herrera that he is fit for this summer’s World Cup.

Things were certainly looking bright for the WGC–Accenture Match Play...

Six Nations 2014: 10 Greatest Tries in England vs. Ireland History

Ireland and England meet at Twickenham this weekend in what promises to be an extravaganza between the two sides, with Joe Schmidt’s visitors currently in the championship’s driving seat.

6 Reasons Why the World Cup Should Be Taken Away from Qatar

To say the 2022 World Cup in Qatar has not been met with universal approval is quite an understatement. From the heat to Qatar’s rather questionable human rights record to the proposed switch from the promised summer tournament to one in winter, it would not represent a huge shock if FIFA were to remove the tournament from the Gulf state.
