Nigeria and Cameroon Shine as African Sides Spark Women’s World Cup to Life

Going into the third day of the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, African football was under the spotlight.

What the Top Men’s Players Proved at the 2015 French Open

A grueling fortnight of tennis wrapped up in grand style at Roland Garros as Stanislas Wawrinka captured the jewel of the clay-court season.

Most Memorable Upsets in Copa America History

The 2015 Copa America takes place in Chile in June and early July, with top nations such as Argentina, Brazil and Colombia set to battle it out for the trophy.

Neymar Arrival a Further Pre-Copa America Boost for Dunga’s Brazil

Further steps in the right direction, but far from the finished article. Brazil’s 2-0 win over Mexico this past Sunday afternoon may have been dulled with monotonous overtones, and—if the hysteria in certain sections of the Brazilian press is to be believed—this Copa America is not actually about winning a title. It is about exorcising the ghosts of 20-odd minutes of madness last...
