Predicting Who Will Be USA’s Defensive Starters at the World Cup

With the World Cup only seven weeks away, one of the biggest areas of concern, and uncertainty, for the United States men’s national team remains its defense. Other than center-back Matt Besler and, of course, goalkeeper Tim Howard, who the U.S. will field in the back come June 16 is a mystery. And with the U.S. set to face Ghana, Portugal and Germany in the group stage, the U.S. defense has... 

Brazilian-Born Eduardo Dreams of Facing Brazil in the World Cup Opener

Paolo Maldini and Roberto Baggio did it in 1990; Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry in 1998; Philipp Lahm and Bastian Schweinsteiger in 2006. Neymar will probably do it in 2014. They are just some of the players who got (or, in Neymar’s case, should get) their World Cup debuts in their respective native countries. Eduardo Alves da Silva has a chance of joining that club.

The 2013 Formula One season was McLaren’s worst since 1980, before Ron Dennis first became team principal. Now, Dennis is back, but the results have not significantly improved.

It’s just how the... 

Rafael Nadal: Rare Loss on Dirt Should Stoke Motivational Fire

Expect a speedy return of the sneer. Expect a more vicious snarl. That’s right, Rafael Nadal will be back, likely with a vengeance. One can only imagine what the sight of Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka playing in the Monte Carlo Masters’ final did to Nadal, but one guess is that it gave him a little extra motivation. Nadal is after all the “King of Clay” and he was unceremoniously...

Tiger Woods will return to the course at some point, but his recent departure due to injury has some considering what a game devoid of its most iconic figure might do to ratings and the sport’s finances.
