World Cup 2018 Preview: Russia
Russia obviously qualified for World Cup 2018 via way of hosting the tournament, but what is their pedigree? Well, it's slightly complicated due to the fact that Russia was known as the Soviet Union for seven of the eleven championships entered, managing to finish in fourth place during the 1966 World Cup in England, having lost to Portugal in the third-place playoff. As Russia, they have not progressed beyond the group stage three times and failing to qualify twice.

6 Reasons Argentina Could Actually Win the World Cup in 2018
Let's be honest: we all kind of want to see Argentina win the World Cup. It's been 32 years since that night at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico where Diego Maradona and Argentina lifted their last World Cup. That was before Lionel Messi was even born. Their struggles in CONMEBOL qualifying might have lowered their chances, but here are ten reasons why you shouldn't write them off just yet:

What High School Sports Taught Me
Growing up, I was active in many sports including volleyball, swimming, soccer, softball, tennis, and archery, but nothing brought me as much joy as basketball. It was the one sport I had played in middle school that stuck with me through high school; but it wasn't all about building me up as an athlete, it was also about bringing down myself as well.

Summer of Bron
Like many things in life, decisions are determined by motive. What are you here for? In the case of Lebron James, what he is playing for heading into year sixteen remains to be seen. We enter another summer of free agency with another stock of talent prepared to make their decisions that will reshape the NBA landscape, Lebron being the biggest cog in that plot. We will all speculate until James ultimately makes the decision. Until then, we can do just that.

Who Will REALLY Win the World Cup
I recently read a post on who'll win the World Cup in Russia once it begins in the coming weeks. Long story short, the writer had Wales down as the 6th favourites and Poland as the 10th. Despite an unlikely semi final showing at the last Euros in 2016, Wales DID NOT qualify (sorry Wales). Poland on the other hand haven't made it out of the group stage since 1982 and haven't competed at a World Cup tournament since 2006. But hey!! They both might win it this time!! Read on for a complete guide on who'll be taking glory in Moscow come July 15th.

The Bullies Are "Crushed"
Sports in general is supposed to teach people—children especially growing up—about the idea of fair play. And we are assured, as children, that if we play a nice clean game, no matter what, the adults in charge who are acting as referee's shall make sure if someone fouls us up, the person fouling us up will pay the price through a penalty of some sort. It was an idealistic view that the referees, or "zebras" as some of us call them, would make the playing area a safe place to be. Because after all, sport is supposed to be about fun, and not about maiming a fellow human being.
