Americans Abroad Wood And Hamburg Face Drop Silverware For Americans

Since pulling off a big win over Hoffenheim, Hamburg has dropped three straight games. Two of the matches have come against fellow strugglers — Darmstadt and, this week, Augsburg. Wood was a non-factor in both contests, as he did not get many touches and did not make the most of the few he had. Hamburg has now fallen to the relegation playoff spot, which would mean it would face the third-best team in the 2....

Amor I Don T Deserve A New Adelaide Contract

Less than 12 months ago, Amor was the talk of the town in Adelaide after he led the Reds to the A-League premiership-championship double in his first season at the club.

An Archbishop Rattles A Saber

By threatening pro-choice Catholic politicians with the possibility of excommunication, O’Connor went farther than his brother bishops in addressing the abortion issue. Indeed, when O’Connor submitted a similar document last March to the Administrative Board of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, he did not mention excommunication as a sanction against government figures who disagree with the church. O’Connor eventually withdrew the paper after several other prelates argued that it might be counterproductive....

An Entrepreneur Steps To The Plate

But fans, teams and media only seem to thirst for more....
