World Cup 2014: Winners and Losers from Day 3

With the 2014 FIFA World Cup well underway now, Day 3 offered us no less than four games, two groups and eight nations to assess and get excited about. Colombia got the day off to a colourful start with a 2-0 win over Greece, before Costa Rica pulled off the shock of the tournament so far by beating Uruguay 3-1. Italy then saw off the challenge of England to win 2-1 in a tight match in Group D. The... 

U.S. Open 2014: Separating Contenders from Pretenders Before Final Round

Heading into Sunday of the U.S. Open 2014, the list of contenders and pretenders looks something like this: Unless Martin Kaymer screws up, he’s the only contender for the trophy. Such is the margin of his lead and the quality of his play through three rounds.  He fired a third-round 72 but still leads the rest of the field by five strokes, which is the same amount he led by entering the... 

Martin Kaymer on Verge of Making Golfing History for Germany at 2014 US Open

It isn’t often that we’ve seen German athletes dominate their sport while competing on American soil, but Martin Kaymer appears destined to join that very select group with a victory at the U.S. Open. The Dusseldorf-born 29-year-old wasn’t nearly as overwhelming in Saturday’s third round as he was while shooting consecutive rounds of 65 the first two days. Yet, despite a two-over... 

England vs. Italy: 6 Things We Learned

Buoyed by Uruguay’s surprise defeat to Costa Rica earlier in the day, England went into their match with Italy in Manaus in high spirits; however, the disappointment was palpable after a 2-1 defeat. Despite the result, though, they can take plenty of positives from the game after a performance full of attacking intent. Claudio Marchisio opened the scoring with a fine strike, but England hit back... 

Erik Compton Adding to Remarkable Story with Impressive 2014 US Open Performance

PINEHURST, N.C. — He’s tied for second in the biggest tournament of the year, American’s national championship, the U.S. Open. Erik Compton, who probably shouldn’t even be playing golf, or anything else, is ahead of Henrik Stenson, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy. Ahead of people blessed with the heart with which they were born. Compton has not been that fortunate. He has received... 

Uruguay vs. Costa Rica: 6 Things We Learned

Costa Rica surprised Uruguay, beating the South Americans 3-1 in Fortaleza.  The last time Uruguay played a World Cup match in Brazil, La Celeste pulled a stunning comeback known as the Maracanazo. More than 60 years later, Costa Rica manufactured their own version of the Maracanazo against Uruguay—the Castelazo. It was a sweet revenge for Costa Rica, as Uruguay had eliminated them in the... 

US Open Tee Times 2014: Pairings and Predictions for Sunday

After a sensational start to the tournament, Martin Kaymer cooled off just slightly on Saturday afternoon at Pinehurst. The U.S. Open leader could afford one decent day, as he still leads the field by five strokes heading into Sunday. While Kaymer was maintaining his lead with a third-round score of 72 on Saturday, Erik Compton was surging up the leaderboard. Compton’s run was helped by an eagle... 

Wayne Rooney Must Play in His Right Position for England, or Not Play at All

The pitch, the weather, the Amazon—they were all talking points ahead of England’s opening World Cup clash with Italy, but after a 2-1 defeat for Roy Hodgson’s side, just one will remain: Wayne Rooney and where to play him. After all the hype, the conditions in Manaus were forgotten as the Three Lions and Azzurri played out an enthralling Group D encounter. With Rooney starting on... 

England Deliver Everything but the Right Result in Display Full of Promise

The team we wanted, the performance we wanted…just not quite the result we wanted. England did not do everything right on Saturday—far from it, in fact—but they did far more right than they ever managed in international tournaments of the recent past. Hyperbole is an odd thing to worry about in the aftermath of a painful opening defeat, but this may well have been England’s... 

US Open Golf Purse 2014: Projecting Payouts for Top 10 Leaderboard Standings

The USGA didn’t pull any punches on Saturday. Pinehurst No. 2 is already a demanding course, but with some extremely difficult pin positions, par suddenly became a very good number for Round 3 of the 2014 U.S. Open. Only two players—Rickie Fowler and Erik Compton—posted scores in the red on Saturday. That’s right, Martin Kaymer didn’t continue his streak of brilliant low...
