...Those were the events surrounding the Portuguese team after their Euro 2000 semifinal defeat at the hands of France. They gave us a graphic replay during their 0-1 loss to Korea at Inchon last week. After Argentine ref Angel Sanchez sent off forward Joao Pinto in the first half, he was set upon by Portuguese players, including their captain Fernando Couto. Sanchez says he was punched in the stomach by Pinto. The TV cameras missed it in the melee, but FIFA has its own more conclusive video of the incident...

Keyboardist Lyle Mays adds sparse, brittle piano and in the middle of it all is Metheny...
...synthesized, but there is more lyricism to the melodies, and the songs are allowed to evolve over longer time periods. The hallmarks of house music are driving drumbeats, often with cymbals, high-pitched squeaks and electronic trills and whistles. Prominent House artists amongst those in the know include Roger Sanchez and Madison Avenue...
