Where Does Julian Green Fit in USMNT World Cup Plans?

On Tuesday, it was announced by U.S. Soccer that Bayern Munich starlet and German-American Julian Green had committed his international future to the United States men’s national team.

The Transformation of Brazil Under Luiz Felipe Scolari and Its World Cup Effect

Bubba Watson won the 2012 Masters in miraculous fashion, sling-shotting a pitching wedge out of the woods and onto the green to set up a stunning victory. Since then, however, Watson has become the firecracker in the box that turned out to be a dud instead of skyrocketing to bigger and better things.
