Dunga Sacked as Brazil Coach with Tite Waiting in the Wings

Well, that’s that then. The inevitable was confirmed on Tuesday, with Dunga being relieved of his duties as coach of the Brazil national football team, as reported by Euan McKirdy at CNN.com. It marked the Selecao’s worst showing at a Copa America competition since 1923, in which they lost all three of their games.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal Fail to Impress on Their Opening Euro 2016 Night

As opening nights go, Portugal’s performance in the 1-1 draw with Iceland in their first Euro 2016 match isn’t one that has got the critics raving. In fact, they’ve seen it all before. All credit should be given to the Nordic country with a population roughly the size of Leicester—and we all know how they like to spring a surprise around there—but for the Portuguese waking... 

How Ivan Lendl Boosts Andy Murray’s Wimbledon 2016 Title Chances

The timing could not be better for Andy Murray as he heads into Wimbledon 2016 with the reunion of coach Ivan Lendl.

England Must Be More Conservative or Face Being Picked off by Wales

Rivalries are the product of their circumstance. So while England and Wales haven’t always contested the fiercest of conflicts, the potential consequence of Thursday’s crunch clash has provided the fixture with a different dimension.

Matias Kranevitter Passes Argentina Audition to Prove He Is Mascherano’s Heir

More fearsome opponents than Bolivia will undoubtedly come in Matias Kranevitter‘s budding career, but in an imperious performance on Tuesday the 23-year-old showed just why he is considered as the natural successor to Javier Mascherano in the Argentina engine room.  It is rare at international level—with all its variables and potential for unpredictability—to see a team dominate...

Italy Must Continue Playing as a Unit in Group Stage Match vs. Sweden

Two nights have passed since Italy’s 2-0 upset win over Belgium in Monday’s Group E opener, and it still hasn’t fully sunk in. The Italians came into the game as the very definition of uncertainty. Manager Antonio Conte‘s squad selection had caused a whirlwind of controversy, and injuries had deprived the team of their two best midfielders in Claudio Marchisio and Marco Verratti.... 

US Open 2016: Last-Minute Odds, Picks and Projections

It is rather ironic that when someone mentions the U.S. Open and Oakmont Country Club, what invariably comes to mind is the incredible final round of 63 shot by Johnny Miller to win the 1973 Open at the beast of a course. Why? Because while Miller’s round has been called “the greatest 18 holes ever shot” by Golf World‘s David Barrett, per Jaime Diaz of Golf Digest, it is no... 

Rory McIlroy Comments on Difficulty of Playing US Open 2016 Course
