Can a single play change the trajectory of a franchise? If a quarterback is hit while his arm is (maybe) in motion, is it a fumble? Is there no true justice in the universe?!

When Joel Embiid is on the court, he’s one of the greatest big men the NBA has ever seen. However, emphasis on the word “when” - injuries have proven to be Embiid’s achilles heel, fractured back, and tweaked knee.

The reign of Spain only fell on the plain of the European continent. They had lost their global crown and were a shadow. Football had transformed drastically since Spain painted their pretty patterns all over Kyiv against Italy in the EURO 2012 final. High possession football was disposed of, in its place was gegenpressing. It ruled Europe, first a…

Four years earlier, we had witnessed a potential greatest ever European Championship team when Spain won their second title. They only went and improved upon that, by becoming one of the world's best when they claimed the Jules Rimet trophy in South Africa. Now, Spain were nailed on favourites to become one of the greatest teams ever assembled: clu…

The previous European Championship had been won by the rank outsiders in Greece. It felt like a partition between the old way football was played and a new age where anything was possible. For one, there was no British or Irish involvement for the first time in 24 years and the World Cup finalists Italy and France were already on the wane. A void n…

UEFA had piloted the 16-team games in England, naturally, and it had done okay. Nostalgia aside, it was a serviceable tournament but nothing to write home about from a neutral standpoint. Now though, modern football was really here. We had all your favourites: from Zinedine Zidane and Luis Figo to Raul and Francesco Totti. It was the new millennium…

Modern football was here. The Premier League and Champions League were in full voice, the world game had been taken to the States and produced the last 24-team World Cup to grand acclaim. The ball was now in UEFA's court, and they were determined to one-up FIFA. They brought the game back to its roots and set about making the Euros bigger and grand…

Italia ’90 was the cornerstone for so many football fan. The sport was a completely different ball game as the summer of 1992 turned up with the Champions League's star ball under one arm and the Premier League lion under the other arm.

What if even one of these scenarios actually materialized? If T…

Seemingly, the only way was down for UEFA, after they had staged the immaculate and perhaps greatest ever European Championships four years prior in 1988. This was a gloomy time for the European game, that lived in the day-to-day strife of hooliganism and still existed under the cloud of the Heysel disaster. Remaining within the confines of eight t…

The Euros was on its deathbed. It seems hard to believe now, what with the incessant wall-to-wall coverage, build-up, hype and money that goes into the Euros these days. However, UEFA had just suffered humiliation in staging a cagey, defensive Jose Mourinho wet dream of a tournament in Italy. They desperately needed to re-shape the image of the Eur…

UEFA had their tails up. They'd overseen quite possibly one of the greatest football tournaments ever bequeathed to the sport and now they believed they could make the competition even better by expanding the field. It made sense: there were more than four elite countries in European football, and a more inclusive game surely made for a better one.…

Whether you love him, hate him, or REALLY hate him, there’s no denying that Alex Rodriguez was one of baseball’s most perplexing stars. Despite becoming the best player in the AL and signing (at the time) the richest contract in pro-sports history, he never really sealed the deal with the fans - or with J-Lo (twice). But, instead of landing on the …

This summer, the Euros will of course be held in Germany after that batshit idea 3 years ago to still stage it continent-wide in the midst of a pandemic. The hosting rights are supposed to matter greatly over what happens at an international football tournament. But does it really? We have changed the hosts for every European Championship since 198…

Super Bowl XLIX. Seattle vs. New England. The Seahawks are on the one yard line with the chance to win back to back Lombardis and the game in their hands.

What’s the most you’ve ever lost on a coin toss? What’s the most you’ve ever stood to gain? The Bulls and Lakers once had more than life or death on the line; they had Earvin “Magic” Johnson.
