...What no one expected was that Turkey would deliver the biggest emotional wallops in the first round. First, the Turks punctured the hopes of co-host Switzerland with Arda Turan's injury time dagger during a cloudburst in Basel. Then, in an epic 15 minutes against the Czech Republic, Turkey mounted a comeback that will talked about from Akhiser to Van for as long as a football is being kicked there. Three goals, including another injury-time stunner, this one from the brilliant Nihat Kahveci, absolutely gutted the Czechs. Turkey's suburb central midfielder Tuncay Sanli did it all that...

As Gomez swung his foot forward to score the sitter, the ball took a hop and he chipped it straight up in the air. It was comically bad finishing, and the kind of break that makes you think that things weren't going to go right for Germany. Austria...
...classic work with Nathan Glazer, Beyond the Melting Pot, offered the theory that ethnicity, more than class, had been the key social organizing principle in American cities. Tim was proudly, indelibly Irish - not only in his early beer-drinking years, but also in his more Jesuitical incarnation as the host of Meet the Press, when he refused to socialize on Saturday nights. "He's become a monk," Maureen would say. And yet, even at the top of his profession, he never lost track of his roots - in part, because he never lost track of his dad, Big Russ, a Buffalo...
