Neither country was able to pick up a victory in their first match, so this will be a big factor in determining their chances of advancing to the next round.

Argentina and Colombia battled to a draw, 0-0, in what was a hotly contested fixture Friday night. The two countries met in Buenos Aires for a 2014 World Cup qualifier. There was some worry that Lionel Messi wouldn’t be available for the match. Although he didn’t start, Messi was fit enough to be named a substitute. The news came as no surprise to South American football expert Sam Kelly: Fortunately,...

Portugal picked up three massive points after beating Russia, 1-0, in Lisbon. Coming into the match, Russia were sitting atop Group F on 12 points in 2014 World Cup qualification. The Portuguese were a point back. The goal came off the boot of Helder Postiga in the ninth minute off a pretty simple enough free kick. Miguel Veloso delivered in a very nice ball that floated in over the top from the left....

Javier Hernandez carries the fate of Mexico’s 2014 World Cup qualification on his right boot. Chicharito is one of the best poachers in the world. It’s often overlooked just how good he is at getting himself into position and cleaning up the mess in the 18-yard box. It’s a wonder why Sir Alex Ferguson hasn’t given him a bigger role with Manchester United. Sure the club has had...

Mexico travel to Kingston, Jamaica for what is a big 2014 World Cup qualifying match against Jamaica. It’s only the fourth match of the “Hex” for El Tri, but they have gotten off to a rather poor start. Mexico have had three straight draws and are fifth in qualifying.

There are few players who will be more intriguing to watch during the 2013 Confederations Cup than Luis Suarez. The 26-year-old Uruguayan striker finds himself in a precarious position. It’s clear he wants to move away from Liverpool. The Daily Mail‘s John Edwards reported as much last week. The problem is that Liverpool don’t appear to be ready to unload Suarez for what they feel...

You can’t get too high after big victories, nor can you get too low after demoralizing defeats. The United States would be smart to follow that line of thinking. After what was an embarrassing 4-2 loss to Belgium on Wednesday, the U.S. turned right around and beat Germany, 4-3, on Sunday. The results could hardly represent a bigger contrast in terms of the Americans’ performances. Against...

What has been a bad 2013 Memorial Tournament for Tiger Woods got even worse after a seven-over 79 in the third round. Coming into Saturday’s play, Woods had been struggling. He shot only a two-over 74 in Round 2, which put him just two strokes above the cut. Still, Woods is a five-time winner of the Memorial and historically solid when the weekend rolls around. SportsCenter put the day into perspective...

The United States picked up their first win of the 2013 Toulon Tournament, beating the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 1-0, in Saint-Raphael, France. The first half was rather uneventful. Both Congo and the United States had some chances to score, but didn’t make the most of them. Most of the first half was spent in midfield as players were given some nice space. The pitch became much more...

Now the French Open starts getting good. It’s always fun to watch and see which unseeded players can make a deep run, but you mostly watch tennis for the stars. With Saturday’s third-round play, you’re going to see the best players begin to really trim the herd. There haven’t been a ton of big upsets just yet. No. 5 Tomas Berdych is the highest seed in the men’s singles...
