The majority of the squad are still together, while there are multiple young talents emerging...

What Do France Need to Change to Have a Successful World Cup?

Since their FIFA World Cup success of 1998 and their UEFA European Championship triumph in 2000, France have lurched between crisis and near success on the international stage, particularly when it comes to the mondial.

What’s Behind the PGA Tour’s Youth Movement?

It seems to me we’re on the precipice of golf’s latest new age. Such a thing happens in all sports as the passage of time makes it necessary for one generation of stars to slide gracefully from the spotlight to allow room for the new stars to move in.

Why Argentina V Brazil World Cup Final Would Be the Biggest Match of All Time

Football is made up of magic moments and matches—contests that capture the imagination and become ingrained into footballing folklore. The last moments of the 1999 Champions League final between Manchester United and Bayern Munich, as well as Steven Gerrard’s rasping drive in the dying minutes of Liverpool v Olympiakos in the 2005 Champions League, both strike a chord way beyond the supporters...
