Few countries, if any, have a greater soccer pedigree than Brazil. But few countries have been more dominant in international competitions in recent memory, namely in the under-20 ranks, than Mexico. This means the Toulon Tournament game between the two countries on Friday afternoon promises to be a real cracker. Mexico is the defending champion and once again boasts a very strong and deep...

The United States’ chances of reaching the championship game in the Toulon Tournament all but ended on Thursday afternoon—and its odds of reaching the third-place game severely decreased—as the team lost to Colombia, 2-1. Second-half substitute Harrison Mojica was the hero for Colombia, setting up goals to Jherson Vergara and Felipe Aguilar. But...

You do not want to face Rafael Nadal right now. And you most certainly do not want to meet him on a clay court at Roland Garros. After a disappointing and injury-shortened 2012 season, Nadal has hit the ground running in 2013. He has already won five singles titles (Madrid Open, Barcelona Open, BNP Paribas Open, Abierto Mexicano Telcel, Brasil Open) and boasts a sparkling 31-2...

It was hard to blame Roger Federer for being rusty enough to lose in the third round of the Madrid Open to Kei Nishikori, 4-6, 6-1, 2-6.

With his win at the Players Championship on Sunday, Tiger Woods won his fourth tournament of the season and ended his struggles at TPC Sawgrass, where he had won just once in his previous 14 tries. Remember, Woods won just four tournaments in the previous three seasons combined. In other words, the old Woods—the one who...

If Roger Federer broke a sweat in his second-round victory over Radek Stepanek in the Mutua Madrid Open, it wasn’t evident. The world No. 2 cruised to a 6-3, 6-3 win, taking the match in a breezy one hour and 21 minutes. Federer was workmanlike in the first set, needing just a break in the fourth game while holding serve throughout. It appeared the second set would be even more clinical,...

It’s a little early to suggest that Mexico is in serious trouble in World Cup qualifying after just three hexagonal games, but if Javier Hernandez continues to struggle finishing opportunities like he did on Tuesday evening against the United States, things could get very tense for El Tri. After three hexagonal games, Mexico has managed just three draws despite being the prohibitive favorites...

The main takeaway from Tuesday night’s scoreless draw between the United States and Mexico may be the non-call after Maurice Edu clearly fouled Javier Aquino in the box in the second half, but for the United States, the game should be remembered for far more than that. In a number of contexts, this game proved just how bright the future is for the United States. What some may see as a somewhat...

The biggest rivalry in North American soccer will be on full display in Mexico City Tuesday night, as the United States will be looking to earn at least a draw while Mexico really needs the three points after drawing its first two games in World Cup qualifying.
