Portugal has never won a World Cup. For a country that has produced so much football talent, that fact has always stung. They've reached the semifinals, won a European Championship, and sent some of the most gifted players of their generation to every major tournament. But the one thing that would complete the story has always been just out of reach. This summer, under manager Roberto Martínez and with Cristiano […]

Brazil hasn't won a World Cup since 2002. That's hardly a fun fact, that's a giant wound for this proud footballing nation. They're the five-time world champions who have spent the last 24 years arriving at tournaments as contenders and leaving with disappointment. Something had to change, and that something is Carlo Ancelotti, a man who has won everything in club football (as both a manager and player) and whose […]

Here's what's happening this week Inside The Garage: Indianapolis Motor Speedway (Speedway, Ind.) — Alex Palou doesn’t have any photos in his motorhome here on the speedway grounds that would remind him that he won the 2025 Indianapolis 500. No big pictures of him lifting the Borg-Warner Trophy. He doesn't need the reminders or the motivation. His image is all around this place as the defending winner. And as a […]

More than a quarter of the way through the season, Fernando Tatis Jr. is still looking for his first home run, Cal Raleigh ranks last among qualified catchers in slugging percentage, and Bo Bichette has been one of the worst hitters in the sport. Surely, it won’t remain this way all year. For now, though, it’s been a forgettable start for some of the game’s most dynamic offensive forces. In […]

Aaron Rodgers emerged from his annual offseason darkness retreat over the weekend and confirmed what we expected all along: He will be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2026. Perhaps head coach Mike McCarthy can turn back the hands of time and help Rodgers rediscover the magic that helped him become a four-time MVP and first-ballot Hall of Famer. The second marriage between the one-time Super Bowl champion […]

The cars, drivers and teams are still getting ready and are now in a time crunch, but the 2026 Indianapolis 500 field is set. Alex Palou will lead the 33-car field to green for The Greatest Spectacle in Racing on Sunday (12:30 p.m. ET on FOX). Palou won the pole during qualifying this past Sunday, posting a four-lap average of 232.248 miles per hour at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He edged […]

The NFL’s regular-season schedule is official. And it’s a behemoth, with 18 weeks of games — not including the postseason, or the three weeks of preseason, or the Hall of Fame Game. This season will feature games on every day of the week except Tuesday. It’s football all day and all night and at basically any moment you might want it. So let’s get into the nitty-gritty of this week’s […]

There is a strong and almost undoubted sentiment that France is not only a major contender for the FIFA 2026 World Cup title, but Les Bleus quite simply are the ones to beat. In the last two tournaments, France ended as champion (2018) and runner-up (2022) and as Didier Deschamps looks to end his remarkable managerial reign (one of only three managers to win the World Cup as player and […]

In a darkened corner of the Miami Beach Convention Center, just a few yards removed from where he'd made a promotional appearance for AT&T, former Miami wide receiver Reggie Wayne — a program legend — gushed about the exploits of Hurricane freshman Malachi Toney, an electric wideout in his own right. "Him coming in, doing those things — not only doing it, but doing it at an elite level — […]
