France Must Learn from Ireland Mistakes for Quarter-Final vs. Plucky Iceland

France and Iceland will meet at Stade de France on Sunday for the last of the 2016 UEFA European Championship quarter-finals, and by then, the other three semi-finalists will already be known. The hosts are only just starting to find form after a slow start, while Lars Lagerback and Heimir Hallgrimsson’s men have been the surprise package of the tournament so far. Could the Icelanders do the... 

Ranking Spain’s Players Following Their Euro 2016 Exit

The dynasty is over. Spain’s empire is no more.  On Tuesday, La Roja returned home empty-handed from Paris, where Italy had ambushed them a day earlier at Euro 2016 to strip them of the second of their two titles that they’d so famously held at once.  The manner of it was brutal and painful; the extent of Italy’s dominance was striking. When eras end, such is often the case,... 

Cristiano Ronaldo Talks Renato Sanches and More After Portugal Beat Poland

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has said the team’s results are more important than his own displays after he disappointed in Thursday’s penalty-shootout win over Poland in their Euro 2016 quarter-final, where Renato Sanches was the star man.  The Real Madrid superstar has failed to shine consistently for the national team and missed a raft of chances in the 1-1 draw after... 

Devising a Game Plan for Germany to Finally Beat Bogey Team Italy

No matter how cool he seems in the buildup to the match, and no matter how often everyone in the Germany camp says they aren’t afraid of Italy, head coach Joachim Low knows Saturday’s Euro 2016 quarter-final against the Azzurri is going to be a special game. And it will take a special performance to finally get over the hump. Germany have never beaten Italy in a competitive match, as detailed... 

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

Formula One championship leader Nico Rosberg edged out his Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton to top the standings again in a rain-soaked second practice session on Friday at the 2016 Austrian Grand Prix.  The Englishman was just one hundredth of a second back from the German as Force India’s Nico Hulkenberg finished an excellent third at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg. In the morning,... 

How Renato Sanches Gave Portugal a Glimpse of the Present and Future vs. Poland

Portugal seem to believe that playing the long game is the best route to Euro 2016 success. Now into the semi-finals in France, Fernando Santos’ team have yet to win a match in 90 minutes at the tournament. They have drawn with Iceland, Austria, Hungary, Croatia and now Poland before, in the latter two cases, getting the job done later on. If that’s the plan, then it’s working. But... 

Garbine Muguruza’s Loss Means Her Ascension to Serena’s Successor Must Wait

A few weeks after Garbine Muguruza ascended to the top of women’s tennis at Paris, she lost her footing at Wimbledon. The No. 2-ranked Spanish star played disastrous tennis in the second round, losing with an epidemic of errors in her 6-3, 6-2 defeat to Jana Cepelova. So much for dethroning Serena Williams, who is the queen of tennis, and long may she reign. Much of the talk following Muguruza’s... 

It’s Time Olivier Giroud’s Importance to France Was Recognised

Every team needs a scapegoat. Even when things are going well, when the goals are flowing and the wins are racking up, there is always a scapegoat readied to be sacrificed, just in case. France find themselves in the quarter-finals of Euro 2016, unbeaten and largely unscathed. Yet Olivier Giroud has become their scapegoat.  Giroud is everyone’s scapegoat, it seems. At Arsenal, he is often...
