Brazil’s Hungry New Wave Launch Copa America Campaign

At this time last week, this column was discussing Spain’s attempts to recover from a World Cup humiliation the extent of which was hard to absorb.

Pele and 5 Formula 1 PR Disasters

Back in 2002, when the Brazilian Grand Prix was still one of the first races in the Formula One season, someone asked Brazilian soccer superstar Pele to wave the chequered flag at the end of the race.

Biggest Winners and Losers in World Rugby for Weekend of March 28-29

The standings were shaken up on both sides of the equator this past weekend as teams from Super Rugby, the Aviva Premiership and Top 14 alike went through highs and lows of an extreme nature.

Preview and Prediction for the 2015 Shell Houston Open

The Masters prep season comes to its final event at the Shell Houston Open starting on Thursday. Waiting are three native Texans with four wins between them: Jimmy Walker, Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth. That three-headed monster is scarier than Cerberus.

Why Confidence Can Help Mexico Striker Javier Hernandez Reach His True Potential
