Liverpool has gotten off to a rocky start in the English Premier League this year, and that didn't get any easier on Saturday, when the Reds visited Sunderland, a hard charging challenger in the English league. As you'd...

Argentina manager Diego Maradona landed his country's national soccer team a berth in next summer's World Cup, though he stretched out the drama of that pursuit all the way to qualification's final week. Perhaps not...
