It’s time to give the gringos a go. As far as Brazilian footballers go, anyway. Dunga made his final squad announcement this year for the Selecao’s upcoming friendlies against Turkey and Austria without a home-based player in sight. In addition, these two contests represent a real chance to end 2014 on a high. Should Brazil manage to walk away from both with victory, that would make it...

It took a last-minute try to seal the deal as Manawatu won their first major provincial rugby trophy since 1980, winning the ITM Cup Championship division with a 32-24 win over Hawke’s Bay. Hawke’s Bay controlled possession in the final minutes. Trailing by three points, they hammered away at a relentless Manawatu defence. A poorly executed attacking kick, that was never on, eventually...

Western Province and the Golden Lions line up as this year’s Currie Cup finalists, and deservedly so after showing themselves to be a cut above the rest during the normal season. During the first 10 rounds of the 2014 competition, the pair exchanged blows in defeating each other on their respective home soils, and Western Province hope Newlands can help them replicate that feat on Saturday. It...

Serena Williams‘ rout over Eugenie Bouchard in the WTA Championships serves as a forecast for 2015. Williams defeated Bouchard, 6-1, 6-1. The loss sent the Canadian home with an 0-3 record in her first appearance at the year-end championships. Bouchard won just 11 games in three matches. Unfortunately, for Bouchard, more woeful results may be on the way. Williams’ fate in the tournament...

As we have heard over the years in baseball and golf, chicks dig the long ball. Especially in golf, the long ball may be entertaining but it’s not a guaranteed gateway to victory. Which leads to the reality that the best drivers on the PGA Tour are more likely than not, the guys who are much shorter than the long bombers. That’s why in this ranking, a guy like Rory McIlroy, who ranked third...

Nigel Owens is one of the best and most respected rugby referees in the game—he also just so happens to be gay. Owens certainly showed he is game for a laugh, too, during the recent Harlequins vs. Castres European Rugby Champions Cup clash. After a terrible, crooked line-out throw from Harlequins hooker Dave Ward, Owens couldn’t resist going over to Ward and saying:...

Luiz Adriano’s Brazil call-up is as sensible as it is richly-deserved. Sensible, for a national side in desperate need of an in-form centre-forward, and richly-deserved, for a player who scored a Champions League quintuple on Wednesday and, at 27, is Shakhtar Donetsk’s record goalscorer. Selecao manager Dunga made the decision on Thursday, as per the Guardian, and also brought the striker’s...

For golf fans unfamiliar with the 2014 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, it is an annual tournament that awards the winner a guaranteed spot in the 2015 Masters tournament at Augusta. One of the reasons the 2013 Masters tournament was so memorable was the appearance of 14-year-old Chinese amateur Guan Tianlang. Guan became the youngest player to participate in the Masters after winning the 2012 Asia-Pacific...
