The saga rumbled on and on. Following a three-hour meeting at Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) headquarters on Tuesday evening, Tite has at last been confirmed as the new Brazil boss (link in Portuguese), replacing the outgoing Dunga this Wednesday afternoon.

The primary storyline at this year’s U.S. Open at the Oakmont Country Club may end up being the difficult greens and the potential for stormy weather in Pennsylvania.
