Ranking the Top 10 Argentina Players in World Football Right Now

Argentine players are hot property in world football. Almost every leading European club boasts a healthy contingent of stars from the South American nation, while the Albiceleste marched this year to the World Cup final where only an exceptional Germany prevented Alejandro Sabella’s men from taking their third title.  But out of the dozens of talented performers that appear week in and... 

Welbeck, Sterling and Rooney Hint at England’s Rich Harvest to Come

When it comes to strikers, Arsene Wenger has a gift for a bargain. He got Nicolas Anelka for £500,000 and sold for £22 million. Emmanuel Adebayor cost £3 million, Robin van Persie a bit less—and they produced nearly £25 million each for Arsenal. To the list of snips it seems we may soon be adding Danny Welbeck, even though Wenger had to give Manchester United £16... 

Previewing Mexico vs. Bolivia: Replacing Marquez the Libero a Concern for El Tri

Mexico and Bolivia will meet at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado, on Tuesday evening in another international friendly filled with “what ifs” and connotations. El Tri played to an impressive 0-0 draw with Chile last week, so they’re on the front foot despite a weakened squad. Bolivia, on the other hand, were thrashed 4-0 at the hands of Ecuador on Friday,... 

Formula 1 Betting Odds: Should Lewis Hamilton or Nico Rosberg Be Favourite?

When Lewis Hamilton crossed the line to win the Italian Grand Prix, the bookmakers immediately responded by re-installing the Brit as favourite for the 2014 Formula One Drivers’ Championship. The best available price on Hamilton is 10-11. Team-mate Nico Rosberg, who holds a 22-point lead in the title race with only six races to go, has returned to “underdog” status. His best odds... 

US Open Tennis 2014: Men’s Final Results and Updated Singles Rankings

The tennis world saw a new major champion emerge Monday after No. 14 Marin Cilic defeated No. 10 Kei Nishikori in three sets by a score of 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 at the 2014 U.S. Open. Cilic‘s average first-serve speed of 124 mph proved to be too daunting of a task for the No. 10 seed to handle, as Nishikori allowed 17 aces and struggled mightily on the return. At 6’6″, Cilic displayed his... 

England Still Suffer from Jitters at the Back Despite Excellent Attacking Play

The mood swings when it comes to the England team are an amusing affair. After the World Cup, and indeed the lacklustre friendly win over Norway, doom and gloom was the prevailing mood, with Steven Howard in the Sun (subscription required) describing that performance as worse than that in Brazil. After the excellent display and victory in Switzerland, which kicked off England’s European... 

England Get Their Rewards for Reverting to Basics Against Switzerland

When push comes to shove, football can essentially be a very simple game. It all boils down to 22 men trying to kick a piece of leather into a net, but thanks to managers and tactics, the game can be made incredibly confusing at times. Formations such as 4-3-3, 4-5-1, 4-2-3-1, and even the re-emergence of 3-5-2 makes for a lot of head scratching, and a lot of dilemmas being posed to fans on a regular... 

Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale and Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey Make Wales Aim High

If ever the dangers of a team pinning its hopes on one megastar were apparent it was this weekend, as Portugal spluttered to a home defeat to Albania. If Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence on Sunday fatally compromised Paulo Bento’s team, Wales have no such worries with his Real Madrid team-mate Gareth Bale as they begin their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. Fortunately for Wales, even if plenty... 

Brazil Show Early Promise Under Dunga Ahead of Ecuador Friendly

It wasn’t vintage, it certainly wasn’t pretty, but Brazil got the job done. Dunga‘s second reign as Selecao boss got off on the right foot with a 1-0 win over Colombia last Friday. The next test comes right on its coat-tails. On Tuesday night, the five-time world champions are back in action, this time taking on Ecuador in New Jersey. Eliminated at the group stage of the recent World... 

Switzerland vs. England: Hodgson Nails It with Diamond, Delph Selections

England kicked off their UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying campaign with an excellent 2-0 victory in Basel over Switzerland, and in doing so took full control over Group E. Danny Welbeck grabbed a brace on two sweet counter-attacking moves as Roy Hodgson‘s men executed a solid game plan against the group’s strongest opponent.
