Now 35 years old and with two more Scudetti titles secured for Juventus in the intervening years, Pirlo will take on England in Manaus on Saturday in a repeat of their quarterfinal in Ukraine two years ago. The vineyard-bothering playmaker may be older but he remains the heartbeat of the Azzurri and is perhaps the only outfield player totally assured of his place in Prandelli’s side. With the rest of Italy’s starting XI in flux and with Pirlo still so influential, England’s hopes of victory are likely to rest almost exclusively on stifling the Juve midfielder – though that is easier said than done, even for a manager, Roy Hodgson, who coached Pirlo while at Inter together....

They were even more pleased because the proposal represented a long-sought admission by a recalcitrant Bush administration of the extent and dangers of global warming. The Arctic appears to be “moving toward a new ‘super interglacial’ state that falls outside of natural [cycles] that have characterized the past 800,000 years,” the Interior report noted.

U.S. national team goalkeepers Tim Howard and Brad Guzan enjoyed better weekends, with each posting shutouts in good outings....
