David was very upset at someone from the Greek bench who wanted to get involved

“David was very upset at someone from the Greek bench who wanted to get involved. He wanted to do something about it and I told him the best thing he could do was get in the shower and go home. Maybe this was an example of people needing to learn through playing international football.” Previously unbeaten in this European Championship campaign, England may have been missing players of the potential of Owen Hargreaves, of Bayern Munich, and Manchester United’s Luke Chadwick. But they still started with 10 Premiership-based players.Fulham’s Sean Davis and, to an extent, David Dunn, of Blackburn Rovers, escaped with some credit for their contributions.

But England’s heads fell once Dimitris Papadopoulos headed in Giorgos Kyriazis’s centre in the 26th minute. Three minutes from half-time, Giorgis Vakouftsis stroked a loose ball into the net.The horror story went up another level when a long cross into the penalty area was nonchalantly headed back by Terry only for the goalkeeper Stephen Bywater to allow the ball to roll under his body. Michael Carrick’s sweetly-struck 20-yarder four minutes from time appeared to be the footnote to the night’s disappointments. But worse was to come.Greece (4-4-2): Kotsolis (Panathinaikos); Natos (Kalamata), Louboutes (Aris Salonika), Kiriazis (Agios) Tavlaridis (Irakles); Kyrgiakos (Irakles), Amanatidis (Groiter), Petrou (Egaleo), Theodoridis (Aris Salonika); Papadopoulos (Akratitos), Vakouftsis (Fiorentina). Substitutes: Salpigidis (Kavala) for Amanatidis 63; Berenanu (Ethnikos Asteras) for Tavlaridis 70; Anastasopoulos (PAOK) for Kotsolis 79.England (4-1-2-1-2): Bywater (West Ham); Young (Tottenham), Terry (Chelsea), Upson (Arsenal), Naylor (Wolves); Davis (Fulham), Carrick (West Ham), Dunn (Blackburn), Cole (West Ham); Christie (Derby), Defoe (West Ham).

Substitutes: Pennant (Arsenal) for Defoe 46, Ameobi (Newcastle United) for Christie 73; Prutton (Nottingham Forest) for Davis 75.Referee: J Baskakov (Russia).. The summer of 2000 was magic for Meg Mallon, a reminder of the success she savoured a decade before. The summer of 2000 was magic for Meg Mallon, a reminder of the success she savoured a decade before.
Now, Mallon is trying to rekindle that feeling again as she prepares to defend her championship in the Rochester International, which begins Thursday.”I’m not playing as well as I was last year and that’s frustrating, but I also have to remember that what I did last year was pretty extra special,” Mallon said “I had such a great year, my expectations were so high. You have to bring them back down and build yourself up again.”Everything kind of goes in little mini–cycles with me, so hopefully I can get back on an upswing and start winning again.”Mallon followed up her victory here last June by capturing her third career major at the du Maurier Classic She also tied for second at the U.S. Women’s Open and took third at The Nabisco Championship, two of the other three majors on the LPGA Tour.That helped her become only the fourth player in tour history to earn more than dlrs 1 million in a season. And it revived memories of 1991, when she won four times, including two majors.With 13 tournament wins in a decade, “I’ve actually had a really nice steady career,” she said, but 2000 was as “close to a blockbuster year” as 1991.This year, however, after picking up two top–10 finishes in January, Mallon followed up a six–week break with a string of below–par performances capped by a tie for 30th in last weekend’s U.S.

Open, won by Karrie Webb.Her chances of a repeat victory here had been boosted by Webb’s decision to take a week’s break, and they swelled when Annika Sorenstam and Se Ri Pak – first and third on the money list – withdrew this week from the dlrs 1 million tournament sponsored by Wegmans, a grocery store chain.”Obviously those are the three hottest players right now,” Mallon said. “Yeah, obviously that opens some doors for a lot of people.”In fact, it leaves just one top–10 money player in the field – Dottie Pepper – and only two of this year’s tournament winners – Rosie Jones and Wendy Doolan of Australia. Jones and Juli Inkster are the only Americans to pick up wins in 2001.Despite the influx of foreign–born talent, Mallon doesn’t think it’s any harder to win than when she turned pro in 1987.”When I came out, there was an incredible group of six or seven players – Nancy Lopez, Beth Daniel, Betsy King, Patt When you see someone close to perfection it’s really fun to watch.”It’s like Michael Jordan when he retired – I was the saddest person on the planet because you hate to see one of the best players in the world not play anymore That’s what you have to realize when you’re watching Tiger. Enjoy it now and you’re going to get to say to your great–grandchildren, ‘I got to see Tiger Woods play.”‘.

Lancashire beat Yorkshire for the first time since 1981 here last night and, if the first of the revamped Origin Games lacked the defensive rigour and spite of the Australian original, it was still a hugely enjoyable match. Lancashire beat Yorkshire for the first time since 1981 here last night and, if the first of the revamped Origin Games lacked the defensive rigour and spite of the Australian original, it was still a hugely enjoyable match.
There was nothing wrong with the intensity of the early tackling, with one shuddering hit by Stuart Fielden on Barrie McDermott setting the tone.Lancashire did the damage to themselves for the first try, however, Andy Farrell’s pass was too low for Chris Joynt and their defence then parted for the other McDermott, Bradford’s Brian to put Fielden through.Yorkshire’s second was also from a blunder. Tony Smith launched a high kick, Dom Peters lost it in the sun and Smith followed up to score. With Danny Orr landing both goals, Yorkshire were off to a flyer.Lancashire needed something special to make sure it was not to become the same old story. Paul Johnson provided it with a clever run that broke the Yorkshire line, with Kris Radlinski in support and Paul Deacon on hand to take his pass.It was a short interruption to Yorkshire’s early superiority, Orr soon finding a scandalous hole in the Lancashire defence for Keith Senior to go through.A freak of a try brought Lancashire back into it.
