WRC Rally: Ford extends championship lead in Mexico
There was pre-event controversy when the stewards handed Loeb a 5 minute penalty for changing his engine after shakedown and then withdrew it after Citroen reinstalled the repaired unit. Then, on only the first stage, Loeb\'s team-mate Daniel Sordo retired after smashing his suspension on a rock.
Once again benefiting from a good road position it was Latvala who took the early lead and defended his advantage against the assault from…
European Football Championship 2008: The Euro-Files: Germany
Every major international football tournament is now preceded by a familiar refrain: the coaches and players of one of the favourites preparing their alibis by complaining they’ve played too many games.
Joachim Löw and Germany will not be able to use that ploy ahead of Euro 2008. Their first-choice goalkeeper, Jens Lehmann, has been a fringe player at Arsenal this season. Christoph Metzelder, once described by Sir Alex Ferguson as the…

Deco (Portugal)

European Football Championship 2008 - The Euro-Files - Italy
National coaches are used to getting flak over their squad selections. But Roberto Donadoni’s continued refusal to select in-form national icon Alessandro Del Piero has astonished even the coach’s son Andrea. “Del Piero should have been called up,” Donadoni Jr told Gazzetta dello Sport. “With Juve he is playing at a very high level.”
The good news – for Roberto – is that his son did agree with his other controversial…
Rinkya Floats Into The Year of the Rat with the Tokyo Drift
Tempe, AZ and Tokyo, Japan –February 29, 2008. Drifting is a relatively new motorsport born on the mountain roads of Japan known as “touges.” While the actual technique has been relatively common in certain forms of racing, for example American dirt track racers drift through curves in the track, to feature it as a sport in and of itself stems from the late 1980s in Japan and the late 1990s…
Hydroptere is getting ready
It is largely a challenge full of history that has gained interest and passion for several years now.

The setbacks were many and often severe, but these early trials have led to the A380…
European Football Championship 2008: Croatia’s unlucky break

European Football Championship: May the best team win
It’s far easier for Tina Turner to belt out ‘Simply The Best’ than it is to decide which football team is indeed simply the best. This endless debate often revolves around FIFA’s monthly rankings of the best national sides.
If you take the February 2008 FIFA ranking as a yardstick, this is how the 16 UEFA Euro 2008TM qualifiers rank in the UEFA zone.

Yes! Golf announces The Donna hybrid putter
Somewhere in the Yes! Golf organization is a person whose sole function is to gaze across the Yes! Putter range and look for chinks of daylight in what otherwise seems a totally comprehensive choice of putter types. When a gap appears, it has to be filled. If the ‘spotter’ fails to see a gap, it’s often a passing comment from a Tour pro who gives the opinion that such-and-such a…

European Football Championship 2008: Friendlies put Coupet top
With a few notable exceptions, footballing status is a fragile thing and nowhere more so than with goalkeepers, who have the ability to win or lose games in a moment.

European Football Championship 2008: Euro-Files Russia
Russia is a great footballing nation, but it has yet to prove that greatness on the field of play. One European Championship (1960, as the Soviet Union) and one UEFA Cup (CSKA Moscow in 2005) are a paltry return for a country of 142 million people, whose passion for the beautiful game has remained constant throughout a century of political and social upheaval.
In the Communist era, the national team’s…
European Football Championship 2008: Euro-Files Switzerland
Switzerland’s talented squad could do worse than listen to Fairground Attraction’s swooping folk ballad ‘Perfect’ on the team bus during UEFA Euro 2008TM. Because their coach Jakob Kuhn has set them a simple but ambitious target: “Play perfect football. We should aim for nothing less.”
But does Kuhn have the players to deliver perfect football? Much will depend on the form of goalscoring skipper Alexander Frei, whose strike rate – 32…
Rafael Benitez needs to stop criticising players in public
Rafael Benitez needs to learn that club affairs, whatever they may be, should always be conducted behind closed doors, writes Jaimie Kanwar, Editor of Liverpool-Kop.com.
The recent public spat between Benitez and Tom Hicks made the club a laughing stock and made a mockery of the Liverpool way of doing things. Benitez should have learned from that farcical situation, but his latest comments about Xabi Alonso prove that he hasn’t learned…

Liverpool FC's winning mentality has been eroded by a team of weak-minded losers …
There is a sickness shrouding Anfield, and it is not the anti-football, technical ineptitude and perennial underperformance in the league – it is the death of Liverpool’s winning mentality, writes Jaimie Kanwar, Editor of Liverpool-Kop.com...
Quite simply, the current Liverpool team is full of defeatist, whining LOSERS.
Bill Shankly once said: “A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that…

European Football Championship 2008: The Euro files - Austria
Austria’s coach Josef Hickersberger knows that Euro 2008 will be the toughest test his country has faced since it last qualified for a major finals, the 1998 World Cup. But recent friendlies suggest his side are better than some might think.
It’s easy to see why expectations are, in some quarters, low for the co-host nation. Austria has never qualified for the European Championship finals on the field of play, and…

European Football Championship 2008: Germany’s Numbers Add Up
Football is constantly changing, but there’s one thing that stays the same – German teams are efficient, well organised and entirely focused on victory. Demand a dollar every time a commentator says “Teutonic efficiency” about a German side, and you\'ll soon have enough cash to join the race to be the next US President.
It may be a cliché as old as The Miracle of Bern, but how much truth does…
Peter Crouch has scored/created 38 goals in the last 44 starts. Stop ignoring h …
Rafael Benitez’s illogical and infuriating refusal to regularly start Peter Crouch is an abuse of his position as Liverpool Manager, especially since the statistics prove that Crouch almost guarantees a goal or an assist when he starts games.
Just what does Peter Crouch have to do to be treated fairly by Benitez?.
As Liverpool’s top scorer last season, Crouch was an integral part of the team that got to the Champions league…
When will people WAKE UP and realise that Liverpool FC need a new Captain?
Liverpool’s abject performance against West Ham on the 30th January 2008 contained the usual mix of technical ineptitude, creative paucity and predictable anti-football, but one thing stood out more than anything else: The total lack of leadership on the field.
My feelings about Steven Gerrard are well known – I do not believe he is world class and I do not rate him as a Captain. I have been criticized all…
