...semifinal defeat at the hands of France. They gave us a graphic replay during their 0-1 loss to Korea at Inchon last week. After Argentine ref Angel Sanchez sent off forward Joao Pinto in the first half, he was set upon by Portuguese players, including their captain Fernando Couto. Sanchez says he was punched in the stomach by Pinto. The TV cameras missed it in the melee, but FIFA has its own more conclusive video of the incident...
...full of Europe-based players. Nobody clocked more hours in the pro season than Spain's Real Madrid contingent: in addition to the closely contested domestic league, their club went the full distance in the Spanish King's Cup and the European Champions League. And yet, Madrid stars Raul, Fernando Hierro and Ivan Helguera were able to do the business in their national colors. Raul wasn't complaining of exhaustion after a grueling opening game against Slovenia in the humidity of Kwangju. The striker was hungry for more.

Some of the strongest works examined the working-class, the out-of-work, the criminally forlorn. The Brazilian City of God, directed by Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund, is a ferocious fresco of Rio slum kids who grow up to be vicious gangsters, if they don't die first. The movie's style is as hyper as the coked-up kids, but City of God manages to hold dozens of horrifying stories...
...pitchers whose talent has lost nothing in the translation. He follows in the footsteps of compatriot Hideo Nomo, the Japanese righthander who was the National League Rookie of the Year in 1995; Korean righthander Chan Ho Park, who won 75 games over the past five seasons; and Mexican lefthander Fernando Valenzuela, who as a 20-year-old in '81 won the league's rookie and Cy Young awards...
