...Forgive him for appearing distracted. Bielsa, 46, was searching for the answer to a conundrum that would make even a brave man bury his head in the sand. In the next five days, he would have to leave one of two outstanding strikers?Gabriel Batistuta or Hernan Crespo?on the bench. The pair would make any rational list of the five best goal scorers in the world, and either man would find a place on any other World Cup team. But Bielsa's game strategy won't accommodate a pair of out-and-out strikers. There can be only...
...itself South Switzerland. With the nation's banks melting down and the currency as porous as the Faroe Islands' defense, victory on the playing field could be the only joy for Argentines for the next four years. Their hopes rest on stars like Lazio's lethal strike pair of Hernan Crespo and Claudio Lopez. Juan Sebastian Veron is capable of finding them anywhere on the pitch, and behind him is formidable Romanista Walter "the Wall" Samuel. Argentina easily won its qualifying group in South America, but now finds itself in the so-called Group of Death with England, Nigeria...
...Once firearms arrived, "Europe, far more easily than other cultures, was able to convert ranks of spearmen" into deadly infantrymen. They "fired as they had stabbed?in unison, on command, shoulder to shoulder and in rank." From this flowed astonishing Western military feats: Hernan CortEs' 1,600 men slaughtering more than one million Aztecs (1519-21); a Christian fleet's crushing of a larger Ottoman Muslim armada at Lepanto (1571) and the creation of an empire on four continents by a British army that in 1879 had only...
...hand. The 19-year-old Argentine sensation is banging in goals aplenty for his Spanish club, Barcelona, in the world's best league, but he still can't find a place on the national side. Coach Marcelo Bielsa has an abundance of superb forwards to choose from (Gabriel Batistuta, Hernan Crespo, Claudio Lopez, Ariel Ortega, Kily Gonzales, Gustavo Lopez ... we could go on) and Saviola looks likely to sit out Korea/Japan. Still, he has time on his side. And history, too: five World Cups ago, another diminutive teenage prodigy with an unflattering nickname?"Pelusa" or "The Wild-Haired One"?found...
...figure out constitutional search-and-seizure issues before they begin grabbing electronic evidence. Meanwhile, agents trawled chat rooms looking for the slightest hint of a pseudonymous braggart. Old-fashioned detective work on the cyberbeat is "probably the best we're going to do in this case," says Shawn Hernan of Carnegie Mellon University's computer emergency response team...
