Carlos Tevez looks like he's enjoying being a caddie for the day at the British Open. If the Manchester City striker is having fun, then that's what matters.

The summer games in London are right around the corner, but for the U.S. women's national team the tournament is about more than a gold medal. It is a chance to put behind them the disappointing loss in last year's Women's World Cup and try to reclaim the mantle of the best team in the […]

Just 12 hours after publishing an article about what's next for Robin van Persie, we've learned this morning that Manchester United has opened the bidding for Robin van Persie, but the Gunners have rejected the initial bid.
