There’s a moment in every Argentina game, usually as things get uncomfortable, when 80,000 heads turn in the same direction. They fixate on a 39-year-old with graying stubble and the nonchalant gaze of a man strolling to the corner store. It happened again on Friday night in Miami, with the reigning World Cup champions two…
In a surprising turn of events, the Edmonton Oilers traded defenceman Darnell Nurse to the San Jose Sharks for defencemen Shakir Mukhamadullin and Zack Sharp. Nurse had a full no-movement clause, but he gave the Oilers a list of a few teams he would accept a trade to. Once they couldn’t find a trade partner,…
The name of the Cape Verde goalkeeper who saved eight shots against Lionel Messi’s Argentina squad is only one word, and it isn’t “Him,” although that might be more appropriate following his performance on Friday. Vozinha, whose real name is Josimar José Évora Dias, nearly spearheaded the greatest upset in the history of the World…
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, the Columbus Blue Jackets and Zach Werenski have hit pause on trade talks, the Washington Capitals may not be closing the door on Alex Ovechkin just yet, and speculation continues to swirl around Patrick Kane.

Here, we’ll dive into his…
U.S. men’s national team coach Mauricio Pochettino will throw the first pitch before Friday night’s Major League Baseball game between the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays, which the team was invited to attend. Pochettino played catch with a few of his players before Friday’s practice at Husky Soccer Stadium. The U.S. plays Belgium in…
Cape Verde is on the verge of completing the biggest comeback in men’s FIFA World Cup history. Cape Verde, the lowest-ranked team left in the World Cup and the third-smallest country to ever compete at the tournament, found an equalizer against Lionel Messi and Argentina in the 59th minute of the Blue Sharks’ World Cup…
The first day of free agency in the NHL saw quite a bit of movement, and the Wild were a minor part of that, but not what most were expecting. They signed Bobby Brink the day prior to free agency starting, and then when free agency started, they saw Mats Zuccarello leave to join the…
It’s another goal and another all-time record for Lionel Messi. Messi scored his 20th career FIFA World Cup goal in Argentina’s round of 16 match against Cape Verde on Friday at Miami Stadium, extending his own record for the most by any man or woman in FIFA World Cup history.
