Contents 17 May 1998 ARSENAL won the English league and cup double for the second time with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Newcastle United in the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium yesterday. Goals from Dutchman Marc Overmars after 24 minutes and Nicolas Anelka after 69 gave the champions a merited victory and the third double in England in the past five seasons, following Manchester United in 1994 and 1996. Arsenal's achievement in matching their 1971 double was outstanding and only the eighth double in English history. It also meant they emulated Manchester United as the only club to do the double twice. Newcastle were largely outplayed and outrun by an Arsenal side who coped superbly with the absence of injured Dennis Bergkamp, but the Geordies had their moments. With the score 1-0 to Arsenal, Nikolaos Dabizas headed against the top of the Arsenal crossbar after 64 minutes. Two minutes later

But Cameroon's moment of glory came at 39 minutes on a close range goal by Mboma. Credit must be given for the brilliant set up by striker Eto'o who danced past Irish veteran Steve Staunton to complete the cross. After a shaky first half the Republic came out in full force pressuring Cameroon's goal until the final whistle. At 52 minutes Matt Holland equalized the game with a blast to the lower left corner from 25 yards out. The goal came only moments after midfielder Geremi, making an impressive steal from Ian Harte, shot wide of the mark missing the opportunity of doubling Cameroon's lead.

Extractions: Contents KICKING AROUND Brian Glanville Column GERMANY 1 England 5. Who in their senses could ever have predicted such a result in that World Cup qualifying match in Munich? Beforehand, a seemingly confident German team, a super confident former captain and manager Franz Beckenbauer seemed confident that they would beat England as they had at Wembley. A draw was the least and worst they expected, and that would give them comfortably half a dozen points ahead of England at the top of their eliminating group. When, after just six minutes, feeble England defending gave Carsten Jancker an easy chance to put the Germans in the lead, who could doubt their eventual victory? After all, they had recently won a friendly in Hungary while England, admittedly well under strength, had capitulated embarrassingly to the Dutch at Tottenham. But very shortly before half-time, two crucial things happened. Causing the Germans bitterly to regret the blatant missed chance by the young mid-fielder Sebastian Deisler which would have doubled their lead midway through that half. First, David Seaman, whose slow reaction in the English goal at Wembley to Dietmar Hamann's free kick had given Germany their 1-0 success, made a fine and crucial save. Shortly before that, he had badly missed what seemed a simple cross. But now when Bohme, at 1-1, struck the ball powerfully low and left-footed, Seaman launched himself down to his right to beat the ball away with one hand. Not bad at all for a veteran goalkeeper. And hard on the heels of that came England's second goal. It was skilfully made and taken, Rio Ferdinand elegantly playing the ball back from David Beckham's left-footed cross for Stephen Gerrard, who had called for it, striking a tremendous, if deflected, shot past the much vaunted German 'keeper, Oliver Kahn. 2-1 to England and the floodgates would now open.

Extractions: T he World Cup Finals in Japan and Korea are just a few kick-arounds away and the Republic of Ireland will be battling it out with the world's best. DERMOT KEYES pulls on the proverbial tracksuit, laces up the boots and names the team he believes Mick McCarthy will deploy in his bid to see off the challenges of Cameroon, Germany and Saudi Arabia. One is hard pressed to think of any other international squad to boast the level of quality between the sticks than what Mick McCarthy currently has at his disposal. Should one assume that despite the extra squad place for this year's Finals will be allotted to a non-custodian, then either Alan Kelly or Nick Colgan will be watching the action at home this summer. Despite Dean Kiely's excellent season for Charlton, Shay Given's place in the starting eleven cannot be disputed. The Donegal keeper has been one of the main reasons why Newcastle United maintained such excellent form throughout the Premiership campaign and his full length save at the Stadium of Light last February remains one of the highlights of a season full of goal-line acrobatics. Not the tallest of keepers, Given is good on either foot on backpasses (a quality that Kiely lacks) and commands his six yard box with authority. His brilliance in the play-off against Iran secured Ireland's passage to the Far East.

Gaizka Mendieta scored the game-winning goal, shooting the ball low down the middle and past goalie Shay Given, who had guessed wrong by diving right. Goalie Iker Casillas was the real hero for Spain, saving two penalty kicks in the shootout after saving one in regulation time.

Spain played the 30 minutes of sudden-death overtime with only 10 men after substitute David Albelda was injured. Spain could not replace him because it had already used its three substitutes.

Extractions: SoccerTimes EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (Sunday, June 11, 2000) It has been five years since the United States could say it has dominated Mexico. But it did so today in Giants Stadium, capturing the Nike U.S. Cup with an easy 3-0 victory over a makeshift Mexican national team before 45,008 fans. Brian McBride The U.S. got goals from Brian McBride , and second-half substitutes Frankie Hejduk and Ante Razov , plus solid play both in the midfield and on defense, easily defeating an overmatched Mexican team made up primarily of players from the Pumas UNAM club team. "I thought we did well today," said U.S. coach Bruce Arena . "Our defense was very strong. We got very good play from our back line. (Carlos) Llamosa and (Jeff) Agoos played very well. We had good ball movement and we came at them. I was very leased with the effort and the result." The U.S., which needed a victory or a tie to win the Cup, finished 2-0-1. Mexico, which would have taken the trophy with a victory, was 1-1-1. Ireland (1-1-1) claimed second place with a 2-1 victory over South Africa (0-3) behind goals from Steven McPhail and Niall Quinn, whose 20th international goal tied Ireland's Frank Stapleton for the country's all-time scoring mark. The U.S. victory ended a three-match winning streak for Mexico over the Americans in this competition. After losing to the U.S. in 1995, Mexico won in 1996, 1997 and 1999.

Americans no longer have luxury of defensive errors that prove costly in setback to Ireland. U.S. men DUBLIN (Wednesday, April 17, 2002) A miserable night at Lansdowne Road came to a disappointing end for the United States when defender Gary Doherty headed home a cross in the 83rd minute to give Ireland a 2-1 victory before 39,000 who braved the cold and rain to watch tonights international friendly. Both Irish goals, the first coming from midfielder Mark Kinsella in the seventh minute, were the result of lax marking from American defenders. "Some of the issues defensively were good, but it has to be better," said U.S. coach Bruce Arena. "We need to get our players into camp and clean up some of our mistakes." Arena will announce his 23-player roster for the 2002 World Cup Monday on the 6 p.m. (ET) edition of ESPN's SportsCenter. The World Cup runs May 31 to Jume 30 in South Kora and Japan.

Domenico Morfeo had put the visitors in front on two minutes when moments later Craig Bellamy was sent off for kicking out at Marco Materazzi. Further first-half goals from Matias Almeyda and Hernan Crespo, followed by a fourth from substitute Alvaro Recoba, after Nolberto Solano's 72nd-minute strike wrapped up the points for the Italians. The Serie A side raced into the lead with just 66 seconds gone when a missed tackle allowed Zanetti to race past Aaron Hughes and deliver a curling cross for Morfeo to blast a shot past Shay Given. But things went from bad to worse with just five minutes gone when Materazzi grappled with Bellamy and the 23-year-old Welshman flicked a foot out at the defender off the ball.
