...Austria broke in on the German goal to start the second half but came away with nothing, as Hoffer practically waited until the German defense caught up. But in the 47th minute Ballack, the German captain, who had been none too impressive at that point, ended all hopes for Austria. He launched a stunning free kick, a stop-this-if you-can pile driver from outside the box that beat Austrian keeper Jürgen Macho to his left. In the Fan Zone, clusters of German fans celebrated, and those celebrants in front of me were greeted with a shower...
...took all of 30 minutes. On June 13, Taliban forces sent two suicide bombers into a prison in the southern Afghan town of Kandahar; they were followed by 30 motorcyle-riding militants, who systematically broke down every cell door in the jail. The audacious raid freed an estimated 400 Taliban fighters, and many of them appear to have gone right to work.

But he came back and broke the job into two with me managing the store but with some corporate responsibility and chose another person so we both did it together. That's how I got the opportunity...
...Krzynówek launched one over the bar. From then on, the Poles were weaker than the U.S. dollar. The Germans pounded them, linking pass after pass after pass in a beautiful display of ball control. It was almost over in four minutes, when Miraslav Klose and Mario Gomez broke unmolested toward the Polish goal only for Gomez to fluff Klose's slightly overhit pass. Lucas Poldolski didn't miss his tap-in after Gomez and Klose sprung the Polish trap again in the 20th minute. Another German buildup in the 72nd minute led to another chance for Poldo...
