...Euro 2008 headed into the knockout phase, the biggest question is whether anyone, least of all Russia, could stop Holland? Marco van Basten's team has swept passed Italy, France and Romania without stopping, which is pretty much the way its midfield plays. Van Basten has a red-hot Wesley Sneijder leading the attack, and the prospect of Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie coming off the bench has to frighten any opposing defenders. And Ruud van Nistelrooy at his goal poaching best. That may be too much for its next foe, Russia. The Russians were another...
...reach the office of general Moeen Uddin Ahmed in Dhaka's military cantonment, a foreign journalist must pass three security checkpoints and endure the searches of numerous stern soldiers. Broad-shouldered aides then lead you, with hushed solemnity and even a hint of fear, toward the chambers of their commander in chief.

While travelers will still have to pass through Hong Kong, the pact is a sign of how relations have thawed in the month since Taiwan's new President, Ma Ying-jeou, took office...
...their more traditional 4-4-2, the Azzurri pressed the attack with direct balls and along the wings in the first half, but the Romanians never panicked, maintaining their compact, fallback defense. Against the run of play Romania went ahead when Adrian Mutu anticipated Gianluca Zambrotta's back pass and blew a shot past Gianluigi Buffon in the 55th minute. Then Romania made the basic mistake of relaxing after scoring a goal. A minute later, Christian Panucci converted a corner kick at the far post to knot the score. Mutu could have won the game when the Romanians were awarded...
