Red Bull and the A1-Ring: How Formula 1 Returned to Austria After 11 Years

In modern Formula One, money talks. That is why there are races in Abu Dhabi and Singapore, and that is why, this weekend, the F1 travelling circus is returning to Spielberg, a small town in the Austrian Alps. In 2004, billionaire Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz purchased what was then known as the A1-Ring, which had hosted the last Austrian Grand Prix the year before. That same year, he bought...

All 32 teams at the 2014 World Cup have now seen action, and Brazil and Mexico kicked off the second matchday on Tuesday in Fortaleza.

Mexico Remains the Owner of Its Destiny in Brazil

Mexico was able to come out with a 0-0 draw against Brazil in Fortaleza and its chances to advance to the second round remain intact.

Russia Need a Rethink After South Korea Draw

Ordinary, conservative, pedestrian and workman-like—just some of the terms used to describe Russia at the halfway stage of their World Cup opener on Tuesday. And despite a slight improvement after the break, Fabio Capello’s men did little to shake off such unflattering criticism in a 1-1 draw with South Korea.

World Cup Comeback Victories Show Importance of Belief, Subs and Attacking Play

The 2014 FIFA World Cup has just come to the end of its first match week, and it’s been nothing short of exceptional. Even with two 0-0 draws coming in the past two days, the tournament as a whole is still averaging 2.9 goals per match—just one shy of 50 in total. We’ve seen just three draws, a clutch of games won by big margins and no shortage of upsets, either. One of the biggest...

Russia Goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev Makes Shocking Error vs. Korea Republic

Russia goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev produced a shocking error against Korea Republic on Tuesday to gift them a goal in both teams’ opening match of the 2014 World Cup.

Spain Can Find World Cup Inspiration in West Germany’s 1954 ‘Miracle of Bern’

So, are the defending champions Spain going out of the World Cup on Thursday night? Can La Roja possibly recover after their 5-1 mauling by Holland? Surely Chile will be good enough to send them home; the task of reaching the knockout stages looks beyond Vicente Del Bosque’s team. Or maybe not. Maybe they can survive.
