We have already discussed the All-Century performers, as well as the top All-Stars for each team since 2000. But what about those players who weren't consistent All-Stars, the guys who couldn't quite ascend to the level of all-time greats like Barry Bonds or Randy Johnson? Here is a lineup — as well as a starter and closer — for a team of players worth remembering from this century, ones you […]

CITIZENS BANK BALLPARK (Philadelphia) — Mike Trout circled this date months ago. Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game sits 45 minutes from Millville, New Jersey, where Trout grew up rooting for the Phillies and bleeding Eagles green. Getting back here was personal.

Now let's talk about the men whose job is to ruin all of that, because they're the ones who will actually decide this game. Start with the numbers, because Spain's are absurd. One goal conceded in six matches. Six consecutive clean sheets to open […]

In each of the two epic quarterfinals we witnessed on Saturday — England’s extra-time win over Norway, Argentina’s extra-time victory against Switzerland — there were long stretches where the underdog seemed destined to pull off the upsets and advance to this week’s semis. Norway led the Three Lions. The Swiss equalized and had the momentum with just over 20 of the regular 90 minutes remaining. Both losers understandably felt aggrieved; […]

Somehow, yes, it's true: for the first time in World Cup history, the four remaining teams are also the top four teams in FIFA's rankings. The tournament has been around since 1930, and even with an expanded 48-team field designed to create more unpredictability, the final four is as chalk as it gets.
