Having gone so close to winning a third World Cup in Rio de Janeiro less than 12 months ago, only creeping one step further and lifting the famous old South American trophy will do.

Dunga’s return to the managerial hot seat of the Selecao Brasileira could quite feasibly have been taken as a step backwards following the country’s hopes of a World Cup triumph on home soil going up in flames. But, close to a year on from arguably the most shameful and disastrous day in Brazilian football history, Dunga has controlled the flames and is currently winning the battle to extinguish...

The trio played Memphis’ TPC Southwind six under, shooting matching 64s to hold a one-shot lead over the field following Thursday’s first round. Koepka, Owen...

Speaking to the press can be a stressful thing at times. At least we hope that’s the reason Edinson Cavani recently endured a geographical malfunction and thought for a moment that the Caribbean island of Jamaica was actually in Africa. Oops. When the Uruguayan was asked about Copa America opponent Jamaica, he referred to them as an “African team.” “As any other...
