A Homecoming Heartbreaker
Well, 92 minutes into the game on Sunday against Morocco, Togo was on their way to the top of Group A. Unfortunately though, the game was to have a total of 93 minutes. All the hope and good fortune that was experienced in 92 minutes was completely undone by a great piece of skill by a Moroccan substitute. A draw that was snatched from the hands of victory, and possibly, the execution of the dream of two consecutive World Cup appearances.

Pippo Scores, Tiziano Crudeli Weeps
This is, incredibly, not too far off the norm for Tiziano Crudeli, journalist, commentator and Milan fan extraodinaire. He's a touch passionate about the Rossoneri and as one would expect, more than a touch passionate for icon Pippo Inzaghi's last game for the club on the weekend. Standard fare... And then ...
