2007 Cricket World Cup: Sri Lanka vs India
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_Cricket_World_Cup:_Sri_Lanka_vs_India
South Africa beat Sri Lanka by 1 wicket (with 10 balls remaining) in a dramatic finish in the Super 8 phase of the World Cup at the Providence Stadium, Georgetown, Guyana. South Africa looked to be cruising to victory, needing just 4 more runs at 206-5, before Sri Lanka's Lasith Malinga set a new World Cup record - and also ODI level record - with 4 wickets from 4 balls. Nevertheless, South Africa held their nerve to scrape home by one wicket. Charl Langeveldt had earlier taken the first 5 wicket haul of the competition - dismissing 3 in his final over. This was both teams' first game in the Super 8 stage, although Sri Lanka already had 2 points on the board, thanks to their victory over Bangladesh in the group stage. South Africa entered empty-handed, having lost to their fellow group qualifiers, Australia. Toss: Sri Lanka won, and elected to bat first. Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Tharanga, 3.1 ov), 2-45 (Jayasuriya, 10.1 ov), 3-65 (Jayawardene, 14.4 ov), 4-90 (Sangakkara, 21.3 ov), 5-98 (Silva, 24.1 ov), 6-195 (Dilshan, 45.5 ov), 7-208 (Arnold, 48.2 ov), 8-208 (Maharoof, 48.5 ov), 9-208 (Vaas, 48.6 ov), 10-209 (Muralitharan, 49.3 ov) Fall of wickets: 1-1 (de Villiers, 0.6 ov), 2-95 (Smith, 17.2 ov), 3-160 (Gibbs, 32.1 ov), 4-160 (Boucher, 32.2 ov), 5-182 (Kemp, 37.6 ov), 6-206 (Pollock, 44.5 ov), 7-206 (Hall, 44.6 ov), 8-207 (Kallis, 46.1 ov), 9-207 (Ntini, 46.2 ov) Sri Lanka: W U Tharanga, S T Jayasuriya, K C Sangakkara (wkt), D P M D Jayawardene (capt), L P C Silva, T M Dilshan, M F Maharoof, W P U J C Vaas, R P Arnold, S L Malinga, M Muralitharan South Africa: G C Smith (capt), A B de Villiers, J H Kallis, H H Gibbs, J M Kemp, M V Boucher (wkt), S M Pollock, A J Hall, R J Peterson, M Ntini, C K Langeveldt Players of the match: C K Langeveldt (South Africa) and S L Malinga (Sri Lanka) Umpires: S A Bucknor (West Indies) and D J Harper (Australia) TV umpire: M R Benson (England) Match referee: J J Crowe (New Zealand) Reserve umpire: S J A Taufel (Australia) Share this:  Got a correction?

2007 Cricket World Cup: Sri Lanka vs West Indies
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_Cricket_World_Cup:_Sri_Lanka_vs_West_Indies
West Indies have beaten Bangladesh by 99 runs in the Super 8 stage of the World Cup at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. Both teams had already failed to qualify for the semi-final stage of the tournament before today's match. Bangladesh's World Cup is now over, while West Indies have one match remaining against England on April 21. West Indies stumbled to 55/3 after a slow start, losing Gayle and Smith cheaply with Shivnarine Chanderpaul scoring 50 off 85 balls. They had only reached 67-3 at the half-way point of their innings, restricted by some tight bowling from seamers Mashrafe Mortaza and Syed Rasel. However Ramnaresh Sarwan (91 not out), Brian Lara (33) and Marlon Samuels (31) salvaged a respectable total of 230 for the hosts. 230 is the lowest score that a opening batting team has won with in this world cup(Zimbabwe-Ireland had a tie at 221), previous low was 235 for Sri Lanka against England. Bangladesh found scoring against West Indies' pace bowling attack difficult and were bowled out for just 131 after 43.5 overs. Daren Powell was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3/38 off 10 overs, while Corey Collymore took 2/11 and both Dwayne Bravo and Chris Gayle finished with 2/28. Toss: Bangladesh won, and elected to field first. Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Smith, 3.0 ov), 2-8 (Gayle, 3.5 ov), 3-55 (Samuels, 21.3 ov), 4-136 (Chanderpaul, 37.4 ov), 5-196 (Lara, 46.1 ov) Did not bat: Denesh Ramdin, Jerome Taylor, Daren Powell, Corey Collymore Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Tamim Iqbal, 6.2 ov), 2-21 (Aftab Ahmed, 8.5 ov), 3-23 (Saqibul Hasan, 10.5 ov), 4-34 (Mohammad Ashraful, 14.4 ov), 5-35 (Javed Omar, 16.1 ov), 6-52 (Habibul Bashar, 20.4 ov), 7-110 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 35.0 ov), 8-111 (Mohammad Rafique, 36.0 ov), 9-114 (Abdur Razzak, 38.4 ov), 10-131 (Syed Rasel, 43.5 ov) West Indies: C H Gayle, S Chanderpaul, R R Sarwan, M N Samuels, B C Lara (capt), D J Bravo, D R Smith, D Ramdin (wkt), J E Taylor, D B Powell, C D Collymore Bangladesh: Javed Omar, Tamim Iqbal, Aftab Ahmed, Saqibul Hasan, Habibul Bashar (capt), Mohammad Ashraful, Mushfiqur Rahim (wkt), Mohammad Rafique, Mashrafe Mortaza, Abdur Razzak, Syed Rasel Player of the match: R R Sarwan Umpires: B E Bowden (New Zealand) and R E Koertzen (South Africa) TV umpire: S J A Taufel (Australia) Match referee: J J Crowe (New Zealand) Reserve umpire: S A Bucknor (West Indies) Share this:  This page is archived, and is no longer publicly editable.

2007 Cricket World Cup: West Indies vs Bangladesh
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_Cricket_World_Cup:_West_Indies_vs_Bangladesh
West Indies beat Ireland by 8 wickets (with 59 balls remaining) in the final Group D match of the 2007 Cricket World Cup at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica. As both teams had already sealed their progress to the Super 8 stage, this match was effectively a Super 8 encounter, as the points won today were carried through to the next stage. Ireland were missing their captain Trent Johnson after he failed to recover from a shoulder injury. Johnson was replaced by John Mooney, while Kyle McCallan deputised as captain. Rain delays toward the end of Ireland's innings meant the game was reduced to a 48 over match. West Indies' target was therefore revised under the Duckworth-Lewis method to 190 runs from their 48 overs. Toss: Ireland won, and decided to bat first. Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Porterfield, 1.2 ov), 2-61 (Morgan, 15.3 ov), 3-76 (NJ O'Brien, 20.2 ov), 4-82 (Bray, 21.6 ov), 5-129 (KJ O'Brien, 35.4 ov), 6-139 (Botha, 39.2 ov), 7-163 (White, 45.5 ov), 8-163 (Mooney, 45.6 ov) Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Gayle, 4.3 ov), 2-143 (Sarwan, 27.4 ov) West Indies: C H Gayle, S Chanderpaul, R R Sarwan, M N Samuels, B C Lara (capt), D J Bravo, D R Smith, D Ramdin (wkt), I D R Bradshaw, J E Taylor, D B Powell Ireland: J P Bray, W T S Porterfield, E J G Morgan, N J O'Brien (wkt), K J O'Brien, A C Botha, W K McCallan (capt), J F Mooney, A R White, D Langford-Smith, W B Rankin Player of the match: S Chanderpaul (West Indies) Umpires: B F Bowden (New Zealand) and I J Gould (England) TV umpire: B G Jerling (South Africa) Match referee: R S Mahanama (Sri Lanka) Reserve umpire: S J A Taufel (Australia) Share this:  Got a correction?

2007 Cricket World Cup: Zimbabwe vs Ireland
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_Cricket_World_Cup:_Zimbabwe_vs_Ireland
Sri Lanka have progressed to the final of the 2007 Cricket World Cup. They posted 289-5 in their 50 overs against New Zealand in the first semi-final at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica. Captain Mahela Jayawardene made his maiden century of the World Cup, making 115*, whilst Upul Tharanga reached 73 before being bowled by Vettori. In response, New Zealand struggled to 32/2, losing captain Stephen Fleming for just 1 and Ross Taylor soon after for 9. Scott Styris and Peter Fulton began rebuilding - their 50 partnership coming up in just 52 balls - including one over where they hit 20 off of some wayward bowling by Dilhara Fernando. But Styris fell 2 overs later to Tillakaratne Dilshan, followed by a New Zealand middle order collapse: going from 105/3 from 22 overs to 116/7 from 26. Craig McMillan hit a quick-fire 25, but just one ball after hitting a huge maximum he missed the ball, resulting in him being bowled out by Sanath Jayasuriya. Bond fell soon after for Muralitharan's 4th wicket, leaving New Zealand on the brink of being eliminated from the competition.

2007 Cricket World Cup - 1st Semi-Final: Sri Lanka vs New Zealand
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_Cricket_World_Cup_-_1st_Semi-Final:_Sri_Lanka_vs_New_Zealand
Sri Lanka have progressed to the final of the 2007 Cricket World Cup. They posted 289-5 in their 50 overs against New Zealand in the first semi-final at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica. Captain Mahela Jayawardene made his maiden century of the World Cup, making 115*, whilst Upul Tharanga reached 73 before being bowled by Vettori. In response, New Zealand struggled to 32/2, losing captain Stephen Fleming for just 1 and Ross Taylor soon after for 9. Scott Styris and Peter Fulton began rebuilding - their 50 partnership coming up in just 52 balls - including one over where they hit 20 off of some wayward bowling by Dilhara Fernando. But Styris fell 2 overs later to Tillakaratne Dilshan, followed by a New Zealand middle order collapse: going from 105/3 from 22 overs to 116/7 from 26. Craig McMillan hit a quick-fire 25, but just one ball after hitting a huge maximum he missed the ball, resulting in him being bowled out by Sanath Jayasuriya. Bond fell soon after for Muralitharan's 4th wicket, leaving New Zealand on the brink of being eliminated from the competition. Franklin and Patel rebuilt and reached their 50 partnership in just 55 balls - which is a new record for a 10th wicket partnership for this World Cup - but Patel succumbed to trying to slog Dilshan over midwicket, but falling short and being caught by Fernando to finish New Zealand's resistance. Sri Lanka won in comfortable fashion by a margin of 81 runs. Toss: Sri Lanka, who elected to bat first. Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Jayasuriya, 2.3 ov), 2-67 (Sangakkara, 13.1 ov), 3-111 (Tharanga, 25.1 ov), 4-152 (Silva, 34.3 ov), 5-233 (Dilshan, 45.1 ov) Did not bat: Chaminda Vaas, Lasith Malinga, Muttiah Muralitharan, Dilhara Fernando Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Fleming, 1.3 ov), 2-32 (Taylor, 10.3 ov), 3-105 (Styris, 21.5 ov), 4-114 (Oram, 23.5 ov), 5-114 (McCullum, 23.6 ov), 6-115 (Fulton, 24.3 ov), 7-116 (Vettori, 25.4 ov), 8-144 (McMillan, 30.2 ov), 9-149 (Bond, 31.4 ov), 10-208 (Patel, 41.4 ov) Sri Lanka: W U Tharanga, S T Jayasuriya, K C Sangakkara (wkt), D P M D Jayawardene (capt), L P C Silva, T M Dilshan, R P Arnold, W P U J C Vaas, S L Malinga, M Muralitharan, C R D Fernando New Zealand: P G Fulton, S P Fleming (capt), R L Taylor, S B Styris, C D McMillan, J D P Oram, B B McCullum (wkt), D L Vettori, J E C Franklin, S E Bond, J S Patel Player of the match: D P M D Jayawardene (Sri Lanka) Umpires: R E Koertzen (South Africa) and S J A Taufel (Australia) TV umpire: D J Harper (Australia) Match referee: M J Procter (South Africa) Reserve umpire: Asad Rauf (Pakistan) Share this:  Got a correction?

2007 Cricket World Cup - 1st Semi-Final: Sri Lanka vs New Zealand
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_Cricket_World_Cup_-_1st_Semi-final:_Sri_Lanka_vs_New_Zealand
Australia have beaten South Africa by 7 wickets in the second Semi-Final match in the World Cup at the Beausejour Stadium, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia. Australia progress to the Final to play yesterday's winners Sri Lanka with a chance to win their third consecutive title. After winning the toss, South Africa decided to bat. They lost captain Smith in the second over followed by the rest of the top-middle order collapse - including McGrath taking the wickets of Ashwell Prince and Mark Boucher in successive balls. He almost claimed his first World Cup hat-trick but the third ball sailed inches wide of Justin Kemp's off stump. 149 is the worst batting performance in this World Cup for South Africa. Despite losing Adam Gilchrist in the 2nd over, Australia never really struggled. Helped by another 40 from this year's top scorer Matthew Hayden (who is now only 52 runs behind Sachin Tendulkar's record of 673 runs in a single World Cup, achieved in 2003) and 60* from Michael Clarke they eased towards their place in the final inside 32 overs. Toss: South Africa won, and elected to bat first. Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Smith, 2.3 ov), 2-12 (Kallis, 5.3 ov), 3-26 (de Villiers, 8.5 ov), 4-27 (Prince, 9.4 ov), 5-27 (Boucher, 9.5 ov), 6-87 (Gibbs, 22.5 ov), 7-93 (Hall, 26.1 ov), 8-103 (Pollock, 29.4 ov), 9-130 (Nel, 40.1 ov), 10-149 (Langeveldt, 43.5 ov) Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Gilchrist, 1.1 ov), 2-44 (Ponting, 8.6 ov), 3-111 (Hayden, 24.4 ov) Did not bat: Michael Hussey, Shane Watson, Brad Hogg, Nathan Bracken, Shaun Tait, Glenn McGrath. Australia: A C Gilchrist (wkt), M L Hayden, R T Ponting (capt), M J Clarke, A Symonds, M E K Hussey, S R Watson, G B Hogg, N W Bracken, S W Tait, G D McGrath South Africa: G C Smith (capt), A B de Villiers, J H Kallis, H H Gibbs, A G Prince, J M Kemp, M V Boucher (wkt), S M Pollock, A J Hall, A Nel, C K Langeveldt Player of the match: G D McGrath Umpires: Aleem Dar (Pakistan) and S A Bucknor (West Indies) TV umpire: B F Bowden (New Zealand) Match referee: J J Crowe (New Zealand) Reserve umpire: M R Benson (England) Share this:  Got a correction?

2007 Cricket World Cup - 2nd Semi-Final: Australia vs South Africa
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_Cricket_World_Cup_-_2nd_Semi-Final:_Australia_vs_South_Africa
Australia have defeated Sri Lanka by 53 runs (DL method) in the Final of the World Cup at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, giving them their third successive title. Australia progressed to the final without losing a single match - their smallest victory was still by a reasonable 83 runs against South Africa in the group stages. Sri Lanka lost twice on their way to the final, first against South Africa in their first game of the Super 8s, made famous due to Lasith Malinga's 4 wickets in 4 balls, though Sri Lanka went on to lose by 1 wicket anyway. Their other loss came against today's opponents Australia, however they rested 2 of their main bowlers (Muttiah Muralitharan and Charminda Vaas), as well as strike bowler Lasith Malinga being out injured at the time. All 3 bowlers are expected to be in the squad today, giving Australia a different challenge today. This is a repeat of the 1996 World Cup Final which Sri Lanka won - however Australia have won both World Cups since, in 1999 and 2003, and have beaten Sri Lanka in every other World Cup match they have faced. Gilchrist played an incredible innings of 149 - the highest for any batsman in a World Cup final - to give Australia an imposing total going in at to break. Hayden fell for 38, leaving him just 14 runs short of Sachin Tendulkar's record of 673 in a single World Cup, set in 2003. The match almost concluded in confusing circumstances: the game had run on late, having been reduced to 38 overs a side initially and later 36 overs for Sri Lanka, and bad light ended up stopping play with Sri Lanka's agreement, despite having 3 wickets left in hand and 18 balls left to bowl. The Australians began to celebrate the win before the match officials informed them, incorrectly, that the remaining three overs still had to be bowled. If light conditions were not good enough for play to resume then they would have to wait for the next day to complete the match. Eventually the Sri Lankan captain sent his batsmen back out to play in near-complete darkness, the Australian captain agreeing to only allow spinners to bowl for the safety of the batsmen. The final 3 overs were eventually bowled but nothing really changed: Malinga was stumped and sent on his way by Man of the Match Gilchrist but the balls slowly ran out and Australia stormed home to win the tournament. Toss: Australia won, and elected to bat first. Fall of wickets: 1-172 (Hayden, 22.5 ov), 2-224 (Gilchrist, 30.3 ov), 3-261 (Ponting, 35.4 ov), 4-266 (Watson, 36.2 ov) Did not bat: Michael Hussey, Brad Hogg, Nathan Bracken, Shaun Tait, Glenn McGrath Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Tharanga, 2.1 ov), 2-123 (Sangakkara, 19.5 ov), 3-145 (Jayasuriya, 22.6 ov), 4-156 (Jayawardene, 25.5 ov), 5-188 (Dilshan, 29.6 ov), 6-190 (Silva, 30.1 ov), 7-194 (Arnold, 31.5 ov), 8-211 (Malinga, 33.6 ov) Did not bat: Muttiah Muralitharan Australia: M L Hayden, A C Gilchrist (wkt), R T Ponting (capt), M J Clarke, A Symonds, M E K Hussey, S R Watson, G B Hogg, N W Bracken, S W Tait, G D McGrath Sri Lanka: S T Jayasuriya, W U Tharanga, K C Sangakkara (wkt), D P M D Jayawardene (capt), L P C Silva, T M Dilshan, R P Arnold, W P U J C Vaas, C R D Fernando, S L Malinga, M Muralitharan Player of the match: A C Gilchrist Player of the Tournament: G D McGrath Umpires: Aleem Dar (Pakistan) and S A Bucknor (West Indies) TV umpire: R E Koertzen (South Africa) Match referee: J J Crowe (New Zealand) Reserve umpire: B F Bowden (New Zealand) Share this:  Got a correction?

Australia defeats Sri Lanka in 2007 Cricket World Cup Final
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_Cricket_World_Cup_-_Final:_Australia_vs_Sri_Lanka
Recipients of 2007's Darwin Awards were announced last week, representing the stories of people who are killed or otherwise rendered sterile after committing an "astounding misapplication of judgement." One of this year's top winners was "What Goes Up Must Come Down" which received an 8.0 rating and 8929 votes. The tale concerns a couple in South Carolina who died in hospital after being discovered naked and critically injured on a roadway. Authorities discovered the couple's clothing on a rooftop and concluded that they fell from that location when they engaged "in the act of procreation". Tied for a top score of 8.0 with 4212 votes was "The Enema Within", an account of a Texas man who absorbed alcohol by means of enema because his throat condition made swallowing painful. After consuming 3 litres of sherry in this manner, he died overnight from alcohol poisoning after attaining a deadly blood alcohol level of 0.47%. A runner-up story, "Support Group", featured three incidents where scrap metal thieves ended their lives after removing metal supports under heavy objects. According to the Darwin Awards website, the winners were announced a week later than normal "because Wendy became obsessed with finger loop braiding".

 London, England Germany came from behind to defeat England at new Wembley Stadium in a friendly match. Frank Lampard opened the scoring in the 9 minute to give himself his first international goal in 12 months.

Christian Pander, in his first appearance for Germany, scored the winner in the 40 minute with a 25 yard shot. The German fans shouted in English There's only one team at Wembley! to taunt the home fans. Return to the football portal for more football news and facts.

2007 European football friendly match: England vs. Germany
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_European_football_friendly_match:_England_vs._Germany
 Changwon, South Korea Germany takes 1 place in Group F at 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup with a 5-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago. The Germans took the lead in the 5 minute. Fabian Broghammer got into the left side of the penalty area before taking a low shot into the back of the net. Substitute Alexander Esswein scored making it 2-0 with a header from a corner kick from Henning Sauerbier. Esswein scored again making it 3-0 in the 37 minute with a pass from Broghammer. Germany Captain Patrick Funk scored Germany's 4 goal at 39 minute from a left-wing cross from Sascha Bigalke. Wolze sealed the victory by scoring directly from a free kick 3 minutes into stoppage time. Germany now faces the Americans in the last 16 on August 30. Heiko Herrlich (GER), Germany coach: First of all, thanks to my players who performed very well tonight. We were nervous at first but after the opening goal everything went as planned. All credit to the defence for keeping a clean sheet. We also gave some of the rest of squad an opportunity tonight, and I was confident they'd play well as I have faith in all 21 players I brought here. We will shuffle things round to try and win our next game, against the USA, who we lost 3-1 to last month. Our aim now is just to reach the next round. Anton Corneal (TRI), Trinidad and Tobago coach: It was a great experience for the players, and I think we've given a good account of ourselves during the tournament. But still we have to try to close the gap [in quality]. In the Caribbean we're a good team, but on the international stage we have room to improve, especially in terms of our physical level. What's interesting is that all the players started as equal here, but if someone has the right passion and knows how to learn from experiences, they develop into good players. Alexander Esswein (GER), Germany forward: We played very well and could have scored another couple of goals. We were also very disciplined in defence, and I think we deserve the win and top spot in the group. Jesse Fullerton (TRI), Trinidad and Tobago goalkeeper: Although we started the game very well, we committed some errors in our man-marking. The World Cup was a good experience for the players, and this game against Germany was the first real test for us. I'm looking forward to coming back at U-20 level, where we'll play with even more commitment. Return to the football portal for more football news and facts.

2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup: Germany tops Group F
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_FIFA_U-17_World_Cup:_Germany_tops_Group_F
The Black Starlets, Ghana's Under-17 football team, today beat their Peru counterparts by 2-0 margin to qualify for the semi-finals of the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup in South Korea. Ghana dominated the match from the beginning but had to wait till stoppage time in the first half before scoring their first goal. Sadick Adams collected a pass from Ransford Osei, but saw his initial shot blocked by Eder Hermoza, the Peru goalkeeper. He however managed to score from the rebound. The second half continued as the first with Ghana ending up with 55% of the total ball possession and with 12 shots on target compared to 1 shot on target for Peru. In the 53 minute, an overhead kick by Issac Donkor hit the upright before Osei slotted it home to guarantee victory. This goal makes Osei joint top scorer of the tournament so far on 5 goals. Ghana are scheduled to meet Spain in the semi-final on Wednesday September 5, 2007. Sellas Tetteh Teivi (GHA), Ghana coach: "First of all, I'm thankful that we won this game. I'm also happy because we played good football. It's great to have played three South American teams in this tournament. The Peruvians, in particular, were a very good side and played impressive football. We were lucky to score the first goal in the 46 th minute and that set the trend. I'm not satisfied with two goals but I think we're going to improve in the games to come. We believe we can play good football against any team, even if Spain are very strong." Juan Jose Ore (PER), Peru coach: "The pitch wasn't easy due to the rain, and the game itself was a tough one for us. But we gave it our all. I think the goal in the first half in stoppage time changed the game. It was crucial. We never really recovered from it." Paul Addo (GHA), Ghana captain: "It was a very good game for us. We didn't score as many goals as we created chances, but still we managed to keep the Peruvians from scoring. As for our next opponents, Spain, I saw them play on television just before our game and I think the semi-final will be tough. Even so, we'll be playing our normal game. Hopefully that'll be enough." Reimond Manco (PER), Peru midfielder: "I'm very, very sad because we're out of the tournament, but we gave everything out on the pitch. This tournament has taught me that football is the most beautiful game in the world. I'll be trying to win a place at the U-20 World Cup." Have an opinion on this story? Share it!

2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup: Ghana beat Peru in Quarter finals
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_FIFA_U-17_World_Cup:_Ghana_beat_Peru_in_Quarter_finals
 Cheonan, South Korea Germany have qualified for a place in the Round of 16 at the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup by defeating Ghana 3-2 in their 2 Group F match at the Cheonan Sports Complex today. The Germans put the Africans under pressure from the first whistle and were rewarded for their positive attitude by a 5 minute goal from Sascha Bigalke. The outstanding playmaker Bayern Munich's Toni Kroos increased Germany's lead in the 12 minute when his free-kick from 20 yards out 1 hit the post before bouncing in off Ghana keeper Joseph Addo. Kroos made it 3-0 for Germany in the 27 minute after a through ball from Bigalke. Ransford Osei and Sadick Adams got a goal a piece in the 52 minute and 53 minute respectively to make it 3-2.. Germany's Konstantin Rausch was shown a red card in the 2 half, but they held on for the win. Heiko Herrlich (GER), Germany coach: "We were magnificent in the first half. We could have scored five or six against a team of the calibre of Ghana. We just had that little bit of luck in the end, but even when we were down to ten men, the boys fought for each other. When you look at the game as a whole, I think it was a more than deserved win, despite the tight finish. Toni Kroos led the team superbly and took on more responsibility when we went down to ten men. He is a true captain." Sellas Tetteh Teivi (GHA), Ghana coach: "Of course we are disappointed. In the second half, we showed the form we were aiming for in the first half. We definitely need to talk about that and change it for the future. We have to win our last game against Colombia now. If we get a second win we'll definitely reach the Round of 16." Toni Kroos (GER), Germany midfielder: "We played fantastic football in the first 20 minutes and created a lot of chances. After getting into such a good position, we were then focusing on not conceding a goal. The two goals right at the start of the second half threw us off our game, but we'd got back on track again by the end." Sadick Adams (GHA), Ghana forward: "We are very disappointed. We were determined to win this game, but we couldn't find our form in the first half. It was a great comeback in the second half, but it just wasn't enough. We really need to win our last game now. We have certainly learned a lot from this match." Standings after Thursday's games Standings after Thursday's games Return to the football portal for more football news and facts.

2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup: Ghana vs. Germany
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_FIFA_U-17_World_Cup:_Ghana_vs._Germany
Germany beat the Americans 2-1 to advance to the quarter-finals against England at the FIFA U-17 World Cup. The Germans had a many chances in the 1 half of the match. The Americans managed to keep the Germans off the scoresheet at half time with save from the American goalkeeper along with German shots going wide, until a 65 minute goal from Richard Sukuta-Pasu. The United States sent everyone forward to seek an equaliser. Richard Sukuta-Pasu took advantage of this in the 89 minute scoring for the 2 time in the 2 half. Mykell Bates scored in Stoppage time to give the Americans a lifeline. Heiko Herrlich (GER), Germany coach "We kept it tight at the back and never gave them a sight of goal. We were outstanding going forward and with a bit more luck we'd have been 4-0 up. Our second goal and the 2-0 lead was totally deserved. The USA only made headway from set plays and long balls. I want to congratulate my team. The important thing now is to keep our feet on the ground and regenerate as fast as possible, as we'll need to be perfectly prepared for the quarter-final against England. We'll be working intensively on preparing to meet our next opponents." John Hackworth (USA), USA coach "I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words. The lads have worked so hard and made so many sacrifices to get this far. We wanted to progress, but unfortunately the tournament's over for us. That's tough on my team, obviously. Congratulations to Germany, they put us under all sorts of pressure before we threw everything at them right at the end. It's a shame we couldn't turn in the kind of performance we're capable of, but my team showed heart and character. The Germans have a very powerful team and ultimately deserved to win, and all the best to them for the rest of the tournament." Richard Sukuta-Pasu (GER), Germany forward "Obviously, I'm delighted with my two goals, but we can still do better. We'll celebrate a little tonight, and then as of tomorrow we'll focus on England. The tournament's not over for us by any stretch of the imagination, we could still go all the way at this World Cup." Josh Lambo (USA), USA goalkeeper "It was a tough match for us. We battled right to the end, but we've come away empty-handed. You've got to be disappointed about that. We've learned a lot for the future at the tournament, especially about desire and the need to fight for every loose ball. Germany are a fantastic team and played tremendously well. If they can keep playing the way they did against us today, they could go a long way." Return to the football portal for more football news and facts.

2007 FIFA U20 World Cup: Austria, Czech Republic, Spain and US make it to quarters
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_FIFA_U20_World_Cup:_Round_of_16_scores
Germany beat Brazil to win their 2 straight Women's World Cup. Brazil controlled the majority of the possession throughout the game managing six shots on goal including a missed penalty from Marta. When asked about the saved penalty, After the penalty save, I felt it was meant to be, Germany coach Silvia Neid said. For Germany, this culminated a tournament where they made history by became the 1 team to successfully defend their championship and didn't give up a single goal over the entire 540 minutes of play during the tournament. The last Goal that Germany gave up was in the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup Final when Sweden's Hanna Ljungberg scored in the 41 minute. Silvia Neid, Germany coach: "It was an evenly-balanced match in terms of chances, Brazil might even have had more, but we worked as a team, came out strongly in the second half and scored at the right time. Once Nadine Angerer saved the penalty, I was always confident we wouldn't concede. We worked together well, we stood tight in defence, we were close to our opponents and there was a determination there not to concede any goals. Before the tournament, we asked all the players to work." Jorge Barcellos, Brazil coach: It was a very tough game for us and one in which we missed lot of very good chances. The Germans only had a few chances but they took theirs well. This was especially important in the second half when we were one down and Marta missed such a critical penalty. But it's clear my players tried their best and I can only say I'm very sad with the result. The players are eager to win and that will help them play better in future. Nadine Angerer, Germany goalkeeper: I watched Brazil's game against Australia and although that time Marta went for the right corner with her penalty, I had a feeling that this time she would go for the left. So I decided to wait as long as possible - and it was the right decision. Cristiane, Brazil forward: Today we didn't play very well, we couldn't take our chances and Germany did, so that was the difference. It was a sad day but this team has done a very good job, we have 21 very talented players and I think we have given a very good example to the girls in Brazil.

Wednesday morning, the Frankfurt Book Fair opened its gates to the first of an estimated 280,000 visitors this year in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The Frankfurt Book Fair is the biggest book fair in the world. It also organises the participation of German publishers at more than 25 international book fairs and is the co-founder of the Cape Town Book Fair in South Africa. It maintains the most visited website worldwide for the publishing industry. The German Publishers & Booksellers Association, which runs the Frankfurt Book Fair, says that the book market is thriving. It declared on Tuesday that the high number of exhibitors and the record numbers of 7,448 exhibitors from over 100 countries, showing 391,652 books, including 121,267 new books of this year, proves that the book market is thriving. Publishing houses have long since expanded into non-traditional markets. TV and merchandising rights have long played a role, but have become more and more important for larger projects. Two other media forms have also become more standard elements of the value chain. E-books and audiobooks are both big topics of this year's Book Fair. The various awards handed out during and around the fair show the variety and scope of media and interests represented at the Frankfurt Book Fair: Prizes still open include the German Young Literature Award on Friday and the Fantasy Final of the first German Cosplay Masters at the comic-centre of the book fair.

File:French presidential elections 2007 Paris Place dItalie 12 candidates.jpg As voting began in the first round of the presidential elections, French voters showed up at polling stations at a brisk pace on Sunday. The Interior Ministry reported that by noon local time, turnout had reached 31.2%, a level not seen since 1981 and ten percent higher than the last election for President of France. Voting stations were to begin closing at 6:00 p.m., but those in large cities will be open until 8:00 p.m. Initial projections are expected to be published at that time, based on a partial count of votes from hundreds of stations around the country. Romain Pinault, an election official at a school in Paris' eighth district, told Associated Press a second voting station was added to handle the extra voters, "The participation rate [at this location] is about 30 percent more than five years ago." Nicolas Sarkozy of the UMP and Ségolène Royal of the Socialist Party are considered the frontrunners. But the latest opinion polls suggested a third of the 44.5 million registered voters were still not sure of their choice, lending hope to third-placed candidate François Bayrou (UDF) and to Jean-Marie Le Pen (National Front), whom most polls had in fourth. One of the reasons for the high turnout seems to be that there are 3.3 million newly registered voters, many from lower-income immigrant neighborhoods, many of which saw civil unrest in 2005. Nicolas Sarkozy was interior minister at the time and was criticized for his handling of the situation. Local Socialist leader Ali Romdhane, who led a campaign drive in such a neighborhood, told the Los Angeles Times, "In a way, Sarkozy helped us. Our slogan was, 'Vote instead of vandalize.' We told the young people that their strength rested in their voter identification card. And they are the ones who are going to make the difference." If a candidate receives a majority of the vote in this round, the election is over. However, polls suggest that is an unlikely outcome. The second round will be between the two leading candidates from today's vote and will take place on Sunday, May 6, 2007. This is the ninth presidential election of the French Fifth Republic.

High turnout observed in French presidential election
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_French_presidential_elections:_High_turnout_observed
In a radio address today on Radio J, Ségolène Royal, presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of France, outlined her campaign platform of fairness, order and inclusiveness. Royal became the party's candidate for the 2007 presidential election on November 16, 2006, when she defeated Laurent Fabius and Dominique Strauss-Kahn in the French Socialist Party primary. She won in 101 of 104 of the Socialist Party's fédérations, losing only Haute-Corse, Mayotte and Seine-Maritime. "Today there is a confrontation between two programmes, two ways of doing politics, two visions of the country and I want the French people to have that choice in the second round" of elections on May 6, Royal told Radio J. "France needs to be reformed without violence, without brutality." Potentially the first female President of France, Royal dismissed attacks on her record and credibility as sexist and called the policies of right-wing candidate Nicolas Sarkozy, of the Union for a Popular Movement, harsh and divisive. Royal also addressed calls from within her own camp to form an alliance with centrist candidate, François Bayrou]] of the Union for French Democracy, who has been running near even with her in polls. "Bayrou is a respectable personality, but he has no program and no team. Millions of French would feel cheated if the second round deprived them of a real choice." France will cast votes in the first round on Sunday, April 22, 2007. If no candidate wins 50% or more of the vote, a second round between the two leading candidates will take place on Sunday, May 6, 2007. This will be the ninth presidential election of the Fifth French Republic. Have an opinion on this story? Share it! Share this:  This page is archived, and is no longer publicly editable.

In the 2007 Future Cup, South Africa beat India in the first One-Day International (ODI) held at the Civil Service Cricket Club Ground, Belfast, Ireland. After South Africa won the toss and chose to field first, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly opened India's innings. Ganguly left quickly and Gautam Gambhir left without troubling the scorers.

A batting collapse ensued and at the end of the innings, India's score was 242/8. South Africa's reply started with a steady opening partnership of AB de Villiers and Morne van Wyk which added 56 before de Villiers departed with a catch to the keeper.

2007 German League Cup: Werder Bremen 1-4 FC Bayern Munich
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/2007_German_League_Cup:_Werder_Bremen_1-4_FC_Bayern_Munich
This weekend sees the potentially ill-fated Heineken Cup semi finals take place. Llanelli Scarlets are to play Leicester, and in a repeat of last week's Guinness premiership clash, Northampton Saints face London Wasps. The Scarlets are the last non-English side playing in the Heineken Cup, which is guaranteed to have at least one English team in the title. The Scarlets are the only unbeaten side remaining in the competition. Leicester arrive in the semi finals having knocked out the French side, Stade Francais. They are currently have 66 points in the premiership, which places them in second place after Gloucester (also on 66 points). Given that they've won the Anglo-Welsh trophy already, they have the potential to win the treble. In the Quarter Finals, Northampton played the French team, Biarritz. The game was played in the San Sebastien in northern Spain. After a low scoring game, Northampton defied predictions to win 7-6. Northampton are facing relegation in the premiership, and although they will take the game seriously, it's possible that their minds may be elsewhere. It will be vital for them to win their next premiership game. Should they fail to do so they will certainly be relegated. Following Wasps victory over Leinster at Adams Park, Wasps fully expected to face Biarritz, but it was not to be. In an interesting twist, their Heineken Cup game against Northampton would immediately follow their Guinness Premiership match against that team. Wasps won that game, despite having to rest players such as Alex King and Lawrence Dallaglio. Wasps have a good chance this weekend, and can boast three international captains in their ranks. Dallaglio, Vickery (both England) and Ibanez (captain of the French side which won the 6 nations). Both games take place at a neutral venue which has been selected by one of the sides previously selected by lot. The Leicester vs. Llanelli game will take place at the Walkers stadium in Leicester on Saturday. It will kick off at 3pm BST (2pm UTC). The Wasps vs. Northampton game will take place in Coventry at the Ricoh arena. It will kick off at 3:05pm BST on Sunday. The final will take place at Twickenham on the 20th May at 2:30pm (BST) In the Llanelli Scarlets vs Leicester game, Leicester won 33 points to 17. It was 16-10 at half time. Tries for leicester were scored by Goode, Jennings and Deacon. There were three conversions from Goode who also scored four penalties. For Scarlets, M Jones and Rees scored tries, S Jones converted twice and also scored a penalty. The Northampton Saints face London Wasps later today. Share this:  Got a correction?

Before this event, some participants even won good places at Hualien, Kaohsiung, and Taichung warming-up running matches.

Finally, Dong-hu Elementary School won the champion and qualified the main competition. According to ING Antai, the sum of Charity Fund of ING Taipei Matathon was multiplied between numbers of finished runners and total running mileage with different groups and added from donations at this event. By the way, Deputy Secretary General of Taipei City Government (TCG) Yong-jen Chen talk to Wikinews Reporter Brock and remarked: "The traffic quality of ING Taipei Marathon will be progressively accepted after the criticism by foreigners at 2004 & 2005.
