What We Learned From The U.S. Women’s Soccer Friendlies – FiveThirtyEight
When I was asked to write a data-driven “analytical profile” of the U.S. women’s national team (USWNT) before it heads to Canada for the World Cup, I quickly realized something: There wasn’t enough data.

Looking at how a team performed four years ago…

Corruption and soccer share an intimate relationship, but anyone who discovered that for the first time last week hasn’t been watching closely enough. While the American legal process will, in time, reveal the depth of FIFA’s corruption, the sport’s most common sort of fraud is self-evident in world soccer history. On June 22, 1986, for example, Diego Maradona became a legend as he sprinted, dribbled, and dodged past at least six opposing English defenders…

(Nick Kirkpatrick/The Washington Post) After Bruce Jenner’s highly publicized transition to Caitlyn Jenner — well-documented on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” in a Diane Sawyer interview and in a Vanity Fair cover that made her arguably the most famous transgender person in the world — a lesser star of the media universe took to social media to…

Steve O’Donnell says NASCAR will react to drivers exiting vehicles early – FOXSports.com
Twice this weekend at Dover International Speedway drivers involved in on-track skirmishes exited their vehicles and walked across the track before safety crews arrived on scene. The first incident took place during Friday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race when Jennifer Jo Cobb expressed her displeasure with Tyler Reddick, who spun her into the inside wall on the frontstretch. Afterward, Cobb walked up the track and shook her arms at…
Hiller Instinct: Boston 2024 Olympics – Just Say No – WHDH-TV
BOSTON (WHDH) - We’ve seen the evidence. We don’t need more time. When it comes to the Boston Olympics, I say we should just say “no.” Today, another stake in the heart of the Boston 2024, with the governor predicting the Boston Olympics will be morphing into the Massachusetts Olympics, with venues statewide. Is that great thinking, or desperation? Do we think Paris will respond by staging a French Olympics?…

BT Sport escapes carpeting after rugby ‘munchers’ comment – The Guardian
When a BT Sport commentator referred to “rug munchers” during a live rugby union game, the programme’s executive producer thought it was a reference to players whose heads are pushed into the grass. But media regulator Ofcom become involved after a viewer complained about the phrase, a generally well-known (except in BT Sport) and offensive synonym for lesbians. Ofcom said Simon Ward’s comment, during a European Rugby Challenge Cup match…
Dover win further adds to Jimmie Johnson’s NASCAR legacy – SB Nation
Even before he won on Sunday at Dover International Speedway, Jimmie Johnson’s legacy had been secured. That’s what six Sprint Cup championships — including a record five straight — and 74 race victories will do. But an already surefire hall of fame resume got another accolade added when Johnson scored his 10th Dover victory. The feat makes him just the fifth driver to post double-digit victories on a single…
Sport’s new frontier: former Soviet states want a ticket to the big league – CNN International
(CNN)You can see why they would want to get past Borat. Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s portrayal of the unapologetically bigoted character has dogged Kazakhstan for a decade. Why? There are two reasons: one, many people think Borat is funny. And two, most don’t know much else about Kazakhstan. Borat fills the void. Small wonder Kazakhstan, and other former Soviet republics, are desperate to redefine themselves with something big. What could…
