India currently still have an opportunity to qualify for the knockout stages if they beat Ghana by at least five goals and the USA beat Colombia. Despite India losing, this was another very good performance from the lads. There were several scoring opportunities for India this time and the defence was even better than last time with Anwar Ali making some crucial tackles and interceptions. However, the stand out player for India last night was their goalkeeper Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem who produced a string of brilliant saves to deny the Colombians from scoring time and again....

To her customers, Chia Chia is one thing. But to Taipei’s voters, she and other sex workers became a symbol of women’s rights, of the little people taking on the big shots. The melodrama began in 1997, when reformist Mayor Chen Shui-bian launched a crusade against the sex industry, raiding “love hotels” and rooting out tens of thousands of illegal hookers. But when he also revoked the licenses of “public prostitutes” like Chia Chia, a decades-old institution in Taiwan, many people thought he had gone too far....
Others wonder: Can Mayweather read this? MORE: Mayweather backs Ray Rice | Linemakers give Vegas take on Mayweather-Maidana There was quite a brouhaha last week over Mayweather’s apparent failure to read a piece of script.

The art was part of an innocuous batch of media released earlier this week by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. At first glance, it appeared to be little more than concept art, until the eagle eyes over at Dualshockers noted that its file name read ‘U4 Pack Art Final.jpg.’ That would seem like fairly definitive evidence that it will grace the game’s cover, but things can always change in the run-up to release....
