THIRD PLACE MATCH Consolation for the hosts Bastian Schweinsteiger was the hero for Germany as the host nation, who may have been craving for the final, proved they were still hungry in the `mini-final', writes Ben Gladwell. SEMI-FINAL: FRANCE V PORTUGAL Zizou yet again The legend's cool kick past Ricardo, the great penalty stopper, in the first half after Thierry Henry won a penalty ensured that France were worthy winners against Portugal in footballing and moral terms, writes Martyn Ziegler. Blatter's banter FIFA president Sepp Blatter hurdled a potential embarrassment about his personal links with the disciplinary committee chairman with his quick wit, notes Martyn Ziegler in his World Cup diary.
A cup of surprises Against the mysteriously abject Brazilians, Zizou was just as good as he was against Spain and wholly outshone some of the supposedly finest footballers in the world such as Ronaldinho.
`I don't judge people just by the numbers' Rahul Dravid is a man of many parts: a member at the top table of the batting greats; a captain who has a sense of the team he wants; a father who walks his son in a pram with great care. At a stage of life where he is comfortable with the parts coalescing, Dravid, spoke to S. RAM MAHESH after winning a historic series in the West Indies.
Pressing home the advantage Kumble's second innings bowling performance and the iron concentration of Dravid ensured the stable door was locked before the horse of victory had a chance to bolt.
Be tactful about Pathan Coach Greg Chappell, who publicly said that the all-rounder was not considered because he had lost his confidence, would do well to realise that the mindset of the Indian fast bowlers has insecurity as its core in spite of the tremendous hard work put in by them to reach the top.
A sound thrashing So England lost 5-0 and there are still those around who claim that they can win the World Cup in the Caribbean next spring. They are having a laugh. They must be, writes TED CORBETT. ENGLAND DIARY Vaughan quite upset, naturally The Ashes series comes to England in 2009 and Vaughan may be ready to lead his side to another win, whatever the result of the Test series next winter, writes TED CORBETT. TRIBUTE THE LIFE & SOUL OF THE ENGLAND DRESSING ROOM Fred Trueman, in course of time, developed from a young fast bowler with a mean streak, into a mature, caring human being who loved the world around him, writes TED CORBETT.
If Dravid snarls inside, then Nadal snarls on the outside; if Dravid is beaten by a ball he winces, if Nadal misses one he bellows, writes ROHIT BRIJNATH.
THE SWISS ON A ROLL, REALLY With his fourth Wimbledon title and eighth Slam overall, Federer can now lay claim to greatness, writes VIJAY PARTHASARATHY. NOW WE HAVE BETTER ATHLETES — NAVRATILOVA Martina Navratilova says she'll play the US Open series tournaments and then retire. Here is VIJAY PARTHASARATHY'S second week diary from Wimbledon.
INDIAN TEAM PICKING UP MOMENTUM In the limited time, since his fourth stint began, Baskaran has worked hard with the seasoned and with those not as experienced. His way of blending new ideas and effecting a few formations are ingenuous, writes S.
