USA vs. Honduras: Players to Watch During Semifinal Matchup

We’ll just call this one the rubber match.  Not necessarily known as a heated—or evenly fought—matchup (the United States is 14-3-4 against Honduras all time), the Stars and Stripes and Los Catrachos have established quite the interesting rivalry over the last five months. In February, Honduras shocked the Americans with a 2-1 come-from-behind victory at Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano... 

Gold Cup 2013 Semifinals: Predictions for Wednesday’s Crucial Battles

The Gold Cup may not garner much recognition as a high-level international tournament, but to call it unimportant would be severely wrong.  With a spot in the ever-prestigious FIFA Confederations Cup on the line (this year’s winner faces the 2015 Gold Cup champion for a spot in the 2017 Confederations Cup), you can rest assured that Mexico, Panama, Honduras and the United States will all... 

USA vs Costa Rica: Americans to Watch During Gold Cup Matchup

For the United States men’s national team, the Gold Cup is more than just a CONCACAF tournament—it’s a tryout. That’s not to say winning shouldn’t be the No. 1 priority. It’s a prideful moment whenever your country wins an international tournament, not to mention halting rival Mexico’s two-tournament winning streak would be especially satisfying. But right... 

Mexico vs. Canada: Score, Grades and Post-Match Reaction for Gold Cup Match

In the midst of an unforgettable 2013, Mexico got a much-needed 2-0 win against Canada during Group A play in the Gold Cup on Thursday.  With the win, Mexico moves into a tie with Martinique for second place in the group with three points, while the Canadians are now in serious trouble after grabbing zero points through two contests.  Action from CenturyLink Field in Seattle was fast from... 

Kim Sears is Perfect Partner for Andy Murray’s Rise to the Top

In the year since Andy Murray lost to Roger Federer in the 2012 Wimbledon final, he has won Olympic gold, taken home his first-ever major with a victory at the U.S. Open and become the first British man in 77 years to win Wimbledon.  Although he still remains just under 3,000 points behind Novak Djokovic in the world rankings, it has become clear Murray, who has made it to the finals of four of... 

Gold Cup 2013 Scores: Breaking Down Monday’s Results

The Gold Cup doesn’t always gain a whole lot of notoriety around the globe, but the CONCACAF tournament is off to a blazing start.  On Sunday, we were treated to a couple of memorable moments in the two opening games.  To get things started, Martinique—yes, the same Martinique with a population of just over 400,000—earned an absolutely stunning victory against Canada when... 

USA vs. Guatemala: Score, Grades and Post-Match Reaction

The United States Men’s National Team defeated Guatemala 6-0 in a friendly at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego on Friday night.  Herculez Gomez scored the first goal late in the first half, and Landon Donovan added his 50th career international goal later with a converted penalty before the Americans exploded in the final 20 minutes.  Although Jurgen Klinsmann’s squad didn’t... 

Roger Federer’s Age is His Biggest Enemy at All England Club

The only person capable of making Roger Federer anything but a heavy favorite at Wimbledon is Father Time.  Of course, World No. 1 Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, who lost a tough match to FedEx in the Wimbledon final last year before beating him on the same court for Olympic gold, certainly have claims in that area.  But even in the midst of an inescapable decline, Roger Federer is still... 

Rafael Nadal’s Opening Rounds Will Be Key to Success at Wimbledon

For Rafael Nadal, it’s not a question of talent or ability on the grass—his five career Wimbledon finals appearances and two titles are evidence of that—but of rust.  Not overall rust. In nine tournaments since returning from a seven-month injury hiatus, Rafa has made a staggering eight finals in a row, including wins in Barcelona, Madrid and Rome before emerging victorious at... 

Venus Williams Withdraws from Wimbledon with Back Injury

Venus Williams was hoping to get redemption after suffering through the worst Wimbledon finish of her career in 2012. Unfortunately, she is going to have to wait.  According to Sky Sports News, the five-time Wimbledon champ and seven-time major winner will miss the action this year at the All England Club with a back injury: Williams confirmed the news on her Facebook page: Unfortunately, I...
