World Football: 10 Important Observations from International Play

The latest round of international fixtures have now come and gone, and with them they have taught, or reaffirmed, a number of things to the public. There were a number of matches played, including some very exciting friendlies, as well as qualification matches for Euro 2012 and the African Cup of Nations 2012. A new look Brazil team visited London to play Scotland, while Argentina visited New... 

Men’s Tennis: Djokovic Ominously Charges On, Fish Up Next

A crash of thunder would have appropriately summed up the day on the ATP tour today at the Miami Masters. We witnessed the unrelenting progress of a Serb hounding after, and the rise of a new American. Well, maybe, not quite so new, Mardy Fish has been on tour a few years now, and has enjoyed his fair share of success. Including, of course, a run to the final at Indian Wells three years ago. Three... 

Steve Marino Sparks National Debates Within PGA

For as long as I can remember sports writers long and far have been giving their feedback on some of the greatest golfers in history to never win a PGA major. Up until Phil Mickelson won his first major he was often the head of this class. But given recent history it may be more appropriate to look at some of the best golfers who have never won any PGA event. This debate first sprang to mind over the... 

BBC F1 Commentary: Out With the Old, In With the Slightly Less Old

Providing a TV commentary on any sport must be extremely difficult, because it is so rarely done well. Football (soccer) commentators are an infuriating breed who seem compelled to constantly dredge up obscure and totally irrelevant statistics about the players and venue, along the lines of, “He is the first Hartlepool defender to score in a second half at Wembly since Nobby Grimes in 1938.” We...

US Men’s National Team: 5 Things We Learned from Argentina and Paraguay

The United States just finished off their second of two friendlies for the March international break. They tied Argentina 1-1 with a very solid result, although not necessarily an excellent performance. But then they lost to Paraguay in an unfortunate result but a decent enough performance. These friendlies served two main purposes. First, to allow Bob Bradley to get a general idea of the players he... 

Mardy Fish Pulls Off Upset at Sony Ericsson Open: Is His Time Now?

Today, it was David Ferrer who looked like the fish out of water. 29-year-old Mardy Fish defeated world No. 6 Ferrer convincingly 7-5, 6-2 to reach the semifinals of the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami. Fish is seeking his first Masters Series title. Known more for his powerful serve and forehand, Fish hit with consistency throughout the match, battling the wind and the heat more efficiently than Ferrer.... 

Tiger Woods Ready to Dump His 155-Foot Yacht, Any Takers?

The gang down at Duffy’s in North Palm called a little while ago and said that Tiger Woods is trying to get out from underneath his 155-foot toy, that yacht he named Privacy. The Palm Beach Post confirmed it, yeah, Tigh’s Toy is for sale, but he doesn’t realize that it’s a bear market for luxury yachts these days. He paid $20 million, wants $25 million. Yeah Tiger, and we all... 

Paraguay vs. USA: Report, Reaction and Analysis

 The 1-0 loss to Paraguay may be sitting poorly with some fans of the U.S. Men’s National Team, but don’t let the result fool you—it was a positive night for the Yanks. Remember, the point of these matches is not the result, but the process. Bob Bradley entered 2011 with a lot of questions to answer before the summer’s Gold Cup, and last night helped answer a few of those.  So,... 

Liverpool FC: Dirk Kuyt’s Hot Streak Continues as He Leads International Reds

As the International break came to a close yesterday, the Reds who have been away with their national teams will be returning to Melwood. As Liverpool prepare for their final eight game run-in, starting with Saturday’s clash against West Bromwich Albion under former boss Roy Hogdson, they have been lucky not to see any more players join the ranks of the injured while away. With the large majority...
