World Cup quarterfinals match schedule

June 30, 2010 Ryan Berenz

The World Cup has come down to the final eight teams, as quarterfinal matchups begin Friday, July 2, on ESPN. It’s unfortunate that Netherlands vs. Brazil has to take place in the quarterfinals — both of these teams are capable of winning it all, but one of them will be eliminated Friday. Same story with Argentina vs. Germany. Those matches should be awesome. Uruguay vs. Ghana — though neither is really an elite soccer powerhouse — should be a decent match, though the winner is shaping up to be a sacrificial lamb for the winner of Netherlands-Brazil. And we figure […]

Where to watch the 2010 U.S. Open golf tournament

June 16, 2010 Ryan Berenz

The 2009 U.S. Open at Bethpage Black was about as emotional as a golf tournament could get. Just a week away from his wife, Amy, undergoing breast cancer surgery, Phil Mickelson made a brave run at the U.S. Open title, taking a share of the lead in the final round with an eagle on the 13th hole.

Missed putts on holes 15 and 17 ended Mickelson’s inspired run, and he would finish in second place, two strokes behind winner Lucas Glover. It was Mickelson’s fifth second-place U.S. Open […]
