THE German government has run
out of patience. It was obvious at
the EU summit on March 2 when
the German delegation let it be
known that the second rescue
package for Greece must be the final
word.
If it proves too small, and Greece cannot
afford to pay ...
OH, Barack. You want to
analyse the cost and consequences
of war before you go
to war?
Such a snob. Such a green eyeshade
rejection of the red-hot Bush
doctrine.
What's wrong with bomb first and
think later? That worked fine in
Iraq. Or not.
Mitt Romney believes bombing
Iran would be a ...
THE sixth career victory of Ahmed
al Hameli of Team Abu Dhabi was
somewhat overshadowed by a gritty
show by home team´s trio in the
2012 UIM H2O F1 World
Championship-launching Qatar
Grand Prix in the Corniche, on
Saturday.
Pole driver Hameli, who was

AL KHARAITIYAT´S goalkeeper
Khalifa Ndiaye was the
hero for his side as he stopped
an 88th minute penalty to
deny Al Wakra maximum
points during a round 18
match of the Qatar Stars
League at the Al Sadd Sports
Club on Saturday.
Kharaitiyat second from
bottom on the QSL table with
17 points defended cleverly to
grab a point against the same
team they lost to in the Qatar
Stars Cup final recently.
Wakra is placed fifth on the
table with 24 points behind
Jaish, Rayya, Sadd and
Lekhwiya.
Nashat Akram missed a
penalty in the 88th minute in
what was Al Wakra´s best
chance to score in the match.
The referee wasted no time to
call for a penalty ...
THE 11th edition of the Asia
Cup cricket tournament
begins on Sunday with
defending champion India
hoping to redeem its pride
after the debacle in Australia.
Host Bangladesh will take
on Pakistan in the opening
fixture of the four-nation
tournament which will conclude
on March 22.
Bangladesh has not won a
single ODI series in the four it
played last year, even losing
2-3 to Zimbabwe in a fivematch
rubber when it visited
the African country. It lost by
identical 0-3 to Australia and
Pakistan and 1-2 to West
Indies, all at home.
The hosts were also mired
in controversies in the run-up
to the tournament with young
wicketkeeper-batsman
Mushfiqur Rahim in the dock
after ...
DIDIER Drogba´s 100th
Premier League goal was
enough to beat ten-man Stoke
City at Stamford Bridge and
maintain Chelsea´s challenge
for a top four finish.
The win moved the Blues
level on points with fourthplaced
Arsenal who were due
to face Newcastle United at
the Emirates Stadium on
Monday. And Drogba´s 68thminute
goal ensured caretaker-
manager Roberto Di
Matteo savoured victory in his
first Premier League game
since taking charge of the side
following the dismissal of
Andre Villas-Boas last weekend.
But Di Matteo - who also
oversaw a midweek FA Cup
victory at Birmingham -
knows his side will have to
perform better if they are to
overcome ...
