Much like Arya Stark as she made her way to Walder Fray’s home for the Red Wedding, it’s the hope that kills you.

We’re no doctors, but we’d be fairly sure that a ruptured ankle ligament would make playing in a major golf tournament almost impossible. Sure, Tiger Woods played the 2008 US Open with a broken leg, but this injury to Rory McIlroy looks pretty serious just two weeks away from the British Open. The reigning Open champion […]

The game was a big pile of s**te. The penalties were, however, very welcome. But poor Gonzalo Higuain. The Argentinian forward was brought on for Sergio Aguero and, well, it’s not too harsh to say that he completely blew it. First off, he missed an injury time sitter that would’ve won Argentina their first Copa […]

After losing two international finals in two years, Lionel Messi could be forgiven for needing an arm round the shoulder.

This may be the only 40 yard chip you’ll see today, but it’s a good one.

What does Independence Day mean to you? For many film fans outside the United States, it can only mean one thing.
