Kyle Walker and Tottenham’s Defensive Core at Heart of England’s Euro 2016 Drive

Victory can mask a lot of ills. England ultimately deserved to beat Wales 2-1 in Thursday’s Euro 2016 Group B encounter, but the fact that it took them until stoppage time to see off a limited outfit said a lot about their own issues. The win does give manager Roy Hodgson some leeway to figure out what is next for his team. They face Slovakia next on Monday, and there is work ahead to ensure... 

Brazil and Uruguay Have Fallen Away: Now Copa America Is Argentina’s to Lose

Even in their wildest dreams, Argentina could not have imagined their path to the Copa America would be cleared so obligingly by their rivals. Three of the South American continent’s top outfits have fallen by the wayside after the first round, and anything but victory in 2016 would be a massive underachievement.  It began with Uruguay. The 2011 winners were tipped to turn a few heads in... 

European Grand Prix 2016 Qualifying: Results, Times from Friday’s F1 Practice

Mercedes clocked the fastest times in practice ahead of Sunday’s European Grand Prix, where Lewis Hamilton was quickest around the Baku track, although team-mate Nico Rosberg wasn’t far behind. The German finished the session just 0.7 seconds slower than his fierce rival, but the biggest storyline of the day saw Rosberg withdraw 20 minutes early after reporting problems with his car. Ferrari... 

How Does Brazil’s Copa America Centenario Compare to Past Selecao Low Points?

It is no secret that Brazil’s group-stage exit from the Copa America Centenario was dreadful. A footballing nation that can boast such an illustrious past will rank this new low point, scoring in just one of three games and failing to breach the defences of Ecuador and Peru, as one of their all-time worst displays in competitive football. It has cost their manager his job. Immediately after touching... 

Mexico Must Win Midfield Battle If They Are to End Chile’s Copa America Reign

With all due respect to the nations in the other three quarter-finals at the Copa America Centenario, Mexico against Chile is the tie of the round. Saturday’s game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, is a clash worthy of being the final. In one corner stands Mexico, a nation on a 22-match unbeaten run who, while not quite playing on home soil, will have the majority of support... 

Thomas Muller’s Struggles vs. Poland Highlight Germany’s Stuttering Attack

Germany’s surprising struggles in second matches at major tournaments under Joachim Low continued with a goalless draw against Poland in Stade de France on Thursday. The world champions have now won only one of their five second matches under the 56-year-old’s leadership, and they didn’t look particularly close to adding a second win against their northeastern neighbours. Poland thoroughly... 

How Dominic Thiem Has Become a Grand Slam Title Threat Ahead of Wimbledon 2016

Dominic Thiem is a Wimbledon contender. It’s a surprising transition given that the 22-year-old has spent more than a year establishing a growing resume as a clay-court winner. Suddenly, the strapping Austrian star has put together a respectable streak on grass as he continues to evolve into one of the top players on the ATP World Tour. There will be skeptics about Thiem’s body of work,... 

History Shows a Slow Start Is How Spain Like It Best at Euros

What really is the sign of champions? There seems to be some disconnect in consensus. Some think it’s a thumping display of superiority, dominating from start to finish and running up a score more befitting of a cricket match. Others believe it is the recording of victory when it was not truly deserved.  Those who hail Spain as Euro 2016 winners-in-waiting after their 1-0 win over Czech... 

USMNT Deliver 2nd Straight Gutsy Performance to Advance to Copa America Semis

No one ever said advancing to the semifinal round of a major tournament would be easy. For the second consecutive match, the United States men’s national team displayed a ton of resiliency with 10 men to hold on to a victory at the Copa America Centenario. On Thursday, the menace of the USMNT midfield, Jermaine Jones, was sent off seconds after Ecuador’s Antonio Valencia received a second... 

US Open 2016 Leaderboard: Friday Scores, Results and Analysis

Dustin Johnson used a splendid 36 holes of golf to move into a tie for the lead at the U.S. Open on Friday.  Johnson shot a 67 on Friday morning at Oakmont Country Club to finish up his first round before he went back out on course to shoot 69 on his second set of 18 holes.  The American, who finished in a tie for third in last year’s U.S. Open, is level with Andrew Landry at four-under...
