Between 2004 and 2009 I visited Zimbabwe a number of times. The first visit exposed me to some of the realities and challenges of a beautiful country that Robert Mugabe and ZANU PF were turning into a nightmare. By my final visit inflation was around 10,000%, unemployment was sky high, and the bread basket of Africa had become a basket case.

The hosts failed to score in four games against the Saints last season but had no such trouble this time around as Egyptian Salah found the net in the 31st minute. 
 Dusan Tadic overplayed on the edge of the area and the ball was fed to Salah whose first touch set up the opportunity and his next touch curled the ball from the edge of the box and into the back of the net, with Fraser Forster having little chance of saving. 
 Salah doubled his tally and the hosts lead eight minutes later. Читать дальше...

One day in May 1971, John Raines, a religion professor at Temple University, had just returned to his home in Germantown, Pa., from playing tennis when two FBI agents knocked on the door. For weeks, hundreds of agents had been combing Philadelphia for the amateur burglars who had embarrassed the FBI by raiding a suburban field office and stealing a thousand files, and then baffled the bureau by evading capture.

Liverpool turns the page on a rough start to the season with a comprehensive win over Southampton Liverpool 3 Salah 31’ 41’, Coutinho 68’ Southampton 0 I hate the entire concept of bogey teams. I hate the idea that there could be some sides which will seemingly vex us until the sun expands and consumes everything we’ve ever known. I hate that of all the stupid superstitions I end up believing, one of them has to be this. But mostly I hate how these teams make me feel in the run-up to matchday. Читать дальше...
