Neither does club teammate Gael Clichy, but Les Bleus still boast plenty of quality ahead of their trip to South America. Les Tricolores have qualified for their 14th World Cup, having had to beat Ukraine...

Props are a breed apart in rugby, but not many come with the frightening combination of size and speed you’ll see in this clip. Daniel Tupou is just 18 years old and weighs a meaty 300 pounds, but he’s also lightning fast and has feet like Lionel Messi. As per Balls.ie, Tupou plays for Sacred Heart College in Auckland, and he seems just about unstoppable. Read more Rugby Union news...

As Mercedes swagger towards double world championship successes, having sealed their fifth victory in five races, it’s worth sparing a thought for the remaining 10 teams in Formula One. The grumpy sound, ugly noses and skinny wings of 2014 were supposed to represent a fresh start for the majority of those outfits. Even Red Bull Racing, who having secured their fourth consecutive world title at...

With his Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid contingents unavailable, Germany manager Joachim Low opted to start a mostly inexperienced side against Poland, and while they looked comfortable throughout the 90 minutes they certainly didn’t impress going forward.

It has been a dismal four years for Cameroon. After a dreadful time at the last World Cup—when they lost all three matches and were the first team eliminated—they proceeded to fail to qualify for the African Championships in both 2012 and 2013. In the process, they lost a play-off to the minnows of Cape Verde, who had never before qualified for the African high table. Morale was also ravaged...

Uruguay were the world’s first footballing superpower. Olympic triumphs in 1924 and 1928 were followed by victory in the first-ever World Cup. In 1950, that win was repeated in none other than the mythical Maracana stadium.
