2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup: France Could Do the US a Huge Favor

Germany, Brazil and the US are the favorites to win the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Everyone else is just trying to keep up. With the way the brackets were set up, assuming everything went to plan, the US and Germany would’ve met in the semifinals on July 13, with Brazil in the other section and an easy road to the final on July 17. But things may not go according to plan.  Germany... 

U-17 World Cup: Souleymane Coulibaly, Star of the Future

The U-17 World Cup is always a fun tournament to watch. Unless you are a true fanatic about your nation and religiously go from city to city scouting young talent, you probably are not familiar with a single player. But it’s kind of like March Madness—the fun is in discovering prospects and weighing in with your friends with predictions of who will make an impact at the next level. For... 

How Formula One Teams’ Performances Change Over Time

Formula One teams rarely have the fastest car for long. Rule changes shake up the order. Sometimes a team will make a technological breakthrough that gives them an advantage.   It can be very interesting to look at how the established order changes across different seasons. To take an extreme example, in 2008 Red Bull’s average qualifying position was 10th, but in 2009 this had jumped to... 

Super Rugby: The Keys for Each Semifinalist to Win This Weekend

After 19 weeks, the Super Rugby semifinals are finally upon us. The remaining teams of the competition have unsurprisingly found their way into these final four spots, each following their own roads to the finals. Both games promise to be hard fought encounters, with the open running of the Blues and Reds in the first game, and the uncompromising defence and hardness of the Stormers and Crusaders in... 

Tiger Woods: Will He Follow in Jordan’s Footsteps and Return to Greatness?

You never know what you have until it’s gone, a sentiment we have seen play out in the NBA and are now a witness to in golf.   We have searched high and low for the next Michael Jordan, but no one measures up. LeBron James is too soft, and Kobe Bryant is just short of Jordanesque. Perhaps, we were searching in the wrong sport altogether.  Tiger Woods is Michael Jordan. He has meant... 

Tiger Woods Will Still Catch Jack Nicklaus, but Shouldn’t Play the Rest of 2011

Fourteen-time major champion Tiger Woods announced Tuesday at his AT&T National press conference that he will not return to action on the PGA Tour until he is “100 percent.” Woods has been suffering from knee and Achilles injuries for much of 2011, and is apparently trying to reestablish his intimidation factor with his new beard (or he just ran out of free Gillette razors). “Usually,... 

Why Tiger Woods’ Return to Marketing Is a Step in the Right Direction

Make all the jokes you want to about Tiger Woods‘ latest endorsement deal—several media outlets indicate that he has signed with a Japanese company to promote a heat rub lotion—but Woods will have the last laugh. Obviously, just a few years ago, reports that Woods was promoting a new product weren’t terribly newsworthy. He was this century’s most coveted and frequent sports... 

Rumors Spread Quickly About Bradley’s Future with USMNT After Federation Comment

The recent CONCACAF Gold Cup was a tough tournament to measure, and to swallow, for the U.S. Men, having qualified as far as the tournament final, only to lose a 2-0 lead to Mexico by allowing four unanswered goals.  The Stars and Stripes had lost to Mexico in the finals before, and by larger margins. But they had never lost a single game in the group stage before taking a 2-1 defeat from Panama... 

Rory McIlroy: Predicting How Many Majors He’ll Win in the Next 10 Years

As we all know, Rory McIlroy provided one of the most dominating performances in golf history at the 2011 U.S. Open. It was a great performance by a very good young golfer. Since the stunning U.S. Open victory, the 22 year old from Northern Ireland has received almost unbelievable amounts of praise. With that praise comes the inevitable question of, how many majors will Rory win before it is all said... 

PGA Tour: Who Will Be the Next American to Win a Major Championship?

The last American to win a major was Phil Mickelson at the 2010 Masters. Actually, that’s true even if you are someone who calls the Players Championship “The Fifth Major,” as Mickelson’s 2007 triumph was the last time an American won that tournament.  But back to the official majors, five have passed since Mickelson won his fourth Green Jacket. With Tiger Woods’...
