...Schipper can't get to his medication quickly or if it doesn't kick in, he will experience a neurological event that 28 million Americans know all too well--the tidal wave of headaches known as a migraine.

His senses of smell and hearing become agonizingly acute. "All I want to hear is gentle white noise at most and no movement, please. If there's a car alarm that goes...

His shot beat Chelsea keeper Petr Cech cleanly, and the Kop exploded, chanting and taunting, like it knew something...

As the players gathered in midfield before the penalty kicks were taken, the Kop responded with a song recalled the 'pool's famous comeback vcitory over AC Milan in Istanbul two years ago; it exploded in cheers when Bolo Zenden netted the first spot kick.
