Brazil’s Luiz Felipe Scolari, Thiago Silva Pose with Argentina Flag for Good Luck

We never expect to see Brazil’s manager and captain holding an Argentina flag, much less with a potential World Cup final showdown looming. But Luiz Felipe Scolari and Thiago Silva did just that, apparently in the name of good luck. An El Diario journalist took the photo, asking Scolari for a picture after a press conference.

It seems like only yesterday that a 19-year-old rookie named Jordan Spieth holed out a bunker shot that allowed him to win his first PGA tournament at the John Deere Classic. OK, so it was last year.

Predicting the France Squad for the 2018 World Cup

The 2014 World Cup has been a huge success for France. They no longer have to remember the awful disappointment of 2010 and can look to the future. Les Bleus host the 2016 European Championship and will then go about qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Didier Deschamps is likely to build upon this current squad with an eye on two years’ time, but it is much more difficult to forecast... 

5 France Players Whose Stock Increased at 2014 World Cup

Prior to this summer’s FIFA World Cup, little was expected of a France team that scraped past Ukraine 3-2 on aggregate in the play-offs after a heroic 3-0 second leg victory in Paris.

Will Roger Federer Have Another Magical Grand Slam Run in Remarkable Career?
