COLOMBIA and Peru are fast
approaching the final stages of
ratification of a Free Trade
Agreement with the European
Union. It is a major agreement
that offers a bridge for ever-widening
relations and commerce between
South America and the Union. And in
our age of globalisation such...
WHEN Nora Ephron
graduated from college
in 1962, she applied for
a job as a writer at
Newsweek, was told
women weren’t allowed to be writers
there, and settled for mail girl. I
used that story as a kind of centrepiece
in a book I wrote about
American women because it
reminded me of ...
THE last time Marin Cilic
played on a main showcourt
in London, he was roundly
booed by a baying crowd and
his moment of glory was
hijacked.
Luckily, that experience last
month will come in handy on
Monday when the Croatian
tries to ambush Andy Murray
in ...
SPAIN have not got to three
successive major finals by
worrying too much about
their opponents but Sunday´s
Euro 2012 decider with Italy
might give coach Vicente Del
Bosque a few moustachestroking
moments.
The all-pervasive influence
of Andrea Pirlo on Italy´s run
to the final means Spain know
they have to restrict his time
on the ball - and ensure they
mark the Italian front runners
more tightly than many other
sides have during the tournament.
The only goal Spain have
conceded came when Pirlo
briefly escaped the attentions
of his buzzing midfield opponents
to set up Antonio Di
Natale and he has been at the
heart of most of Italy´s attacks
all the way through.
Del Bosque started without
a recognized...
FABIAN Cancellara of
Switzerland held on to the
Tour de France yellow jersey
Sunday after being pipped at
the finish line of the first stage
by streetwise Slovakian Peter
Sagan.
RadioShack rider Cancellara
took the race leader´s jersey
thanks to a commanding
opening day win on Saturday
when he repeated his Liege
feat of 2004 to claim the
fourth prologue win of his
career.
But despite leaving a gaping
hole when he pulled away
from the peloton with 1.5km
remaining on the 2.4 km-long
uphill finish, the Swiss was
upstaged by the Liquigas
team´s Slovakian champion.
Sagan, a sprinter known for
his climbing abilities, soon
attached himself to
Cancellara´s back wheel and
for the remaining 1200 metres
refused to collaborate...
UKRAINIANS and foreigners
thronged Kiev´s specially
designated fanzone for ticketless
supporters on Sunday,
as the atmosphere built
towards the final of Euro
2012 between Spain and
Italy.
Fans arrived in their hundreds
in the morning and the
numbers steadily built in the
main street of the Ukrainian
capital, which has been temporarily
transformed into a
pedestrian area during the
three-week championships in
Ukraine and Poland.
Nearly 160 flights bringing
fans of the world game and
official delegations were
expected at the city´s airport,
according to the government´s
official competition
website.
Some fans were wearing
red t-shirts in support of
Spain´s "La Furia Roja",
while other fans of the
"Azzurri" were draped...
