...knockout phase. The Austrians might take notes on how the Croats fashioned their decisive win over the favored Germans: by completely clogging the gears of the German passing machine. Germany center midfielder Michael Ballack spent the day spewing misdirected passes all over the pitch, never quite finding Mario Gomez or Miroslav Klose. Croatia's leprechaun middleman Luka Modric, in the meantime, was dancing around the pitch with the ball, often picking out Ivica Olic, who scored the second goal when a deflected shot from the right went past German keeper Jens Lehmann, hit the post and fell perfectly...
...Jacek 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.

Says Ricardo Gomez, a farmer from the central province of Cordoba: "Cristina projected the promise that she could continue to provide the economic bonanza while distancing herself from Kirchner's authoritarian streak, but she turned out to be even tougher than her husband." Her government has called the farmers "oligarchs" who wish...
...signed as Diana Jorgensen. However, Mexican intellectuals view the re-conquest as cultural rather than military, talking with satisfaction over the fact people in California are speaking Spanish and eating enchiladas. No one in the mainstream of Mexican politics seriously contemplates an offensive northward. Mexico City car mechanic Santiago Gomez finds the ad funny, but would prefer California to be in U.S. rather than Mexican hands. That's because he plans to move to Los Angeles later this year to work with a friend already there. "I don't want to fight a war to reclaim these lands," he said...
