Before the match there was fighting between fans from both countrie

Before the match there was fighting between fans from both countries, leaving 15 injured and more than 140 detained by the police as thousands of Russian supporters marched to celebrate the Russia Day national holiday. Dzagoev darted past defender Lukasz Piszczek in the 37th minute and deflected a curling free kick by Andrei Arshavin past goalkeeper Przemyslaw Tyton with his shoulder. But Poland was rewarded for its attacking style in the 57th when Blaszczykowski cut in from the right and sent a searing left-footed drive into the far corner of the goal. “I think we deserve praise because all of us put a lot into this match,” Blaszczykowski said. “The tactics we set up before the match we carried out 100 percent.” The result left Russia at the top of Group A with four points but also kept alive Poland’s chances of qualifying for the quarterfinals. The Czech Republic is in second place with three points after its 2-1 win against Greece. “We’re still in the tournament, so with this point a win in our final match puts us into the knockout stage,” Blaszczykowski said. At least 15 people were injured in fighting between fans. Polish police also fired rubber bullets and tear gas at a group of young Poles who attacked them with glass bottles. The march to the stadium by thousands of Russian fans was seen as a provocation by many Poles, who have long had tense relations with Russia. Russia’s attack, which had flourished in an opening 4-1 win over the Czechs, was largely muzzled by a well-organized Polish defense. At the other end, Robert Lewandowski was a constant threat. “When we went 1-0 up, I thought we’d get more space like we did against the Czech Republic, but that didn’t happen,” Russia Coach Dick Advocaat said. “We lost the ball too fast when we were going forward and they could counter. We left the field too open.” After scattered fighting in Warsaw before the match, the police fired rubber bullets at a group of fans who attacked them with bottles and stones near an outdoor fan zone where about 75,000 people were watching the game on huge video screens.

Reid, the Nevada Democrat who was a boxing judge himself in his earlier days

A former amateur boxer, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had a few thoughts on the disputed outcome of the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley fight in Las Vegas. Reid, the Nevada Democrat who was a boxing judge himself in his earlier days -- "an inexact science," he called it Tuesday -- welcomed an investigation into Saturday's bout at the MGM Grand. Fans have protested the judges' split decision that made Bradley the winner, and there have been calls for the Nevada attorney general to investigate. "I feel confident there's been nothing untoward," Reid said Tuesday. "But if an investigation makes everyone feel better, do the investigation." Reid has often been ringside for the big fights -- and once ran into ethical questions for accepting credentials to observe the events -- but missed the weekend match to celebrate his wife's birthday. "One of my very good friends was one of the judges for this fight. And from all the reports that I've seen by people on the outside who saw the fight, who attempted to be fair and judge the fight, Pacquiao won the fight," Reid went on. "Now, I understand how upset everybody is. The person that's handled this better than anyone else is Pacquiao. He has said, 'It's a fight, and I lost.' But he'll fight again." Reid suggested it might be time to make another push with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on their stalled bipartisan bill for a national boxing commission.

Gomez, whose father is Spanish

He had forced a save in the second minute, but he skied a header over the crossbar in the 57th minute. For long stretches, Germany's short passing and possession style seemed to lack energy and purpose. But Gomez scored in the decisive moment, and in the end that was all that mattered.

Still, many had expected Klose to start such an important match. After all, he had 63 goals in 116 previous international appearances. And Gomez had started only intermittently for Die Mannschaft. But Klose badly injured a thigh in March while playing for Lazio of Italy's Serie A, and his convalescence has been extended.

"It was a hard road for me," Gomez, whose father is Spanish and whose mother is German, said about being the usual understudy to Klose. "I am very happy that the coach had confidence in me. With the goal, I could pay something back. The ball was deflected and landed exactly on the front of my head. It wasn't that difficult."

Somehow, Laich slipped behind Chara

Zdeno Chara does not often make mistakes on the defensive side of his game. But in the third period of Game 3 Monday, there was the Boston strongman, looking at the wrong end of Brooks Laich - the back of the No. 1 center's jersey.

The Bruins were in control. They had a 3-2 third-period lead. Chara and top-pairing mate Dennis Seidenberg were on the ice, patrolling the neutral zone.

Somehow, Laich slipped behind Chara. When Chara finally noticed, it was too late. Laich took a long-distance pass from Nicklas Backstrom, zoomed in on a breakaway, and scored the tying goal on Tim Thomas at 14:00.

The Angels will be competitive every season that Pujols

The Angels will be competitive every season that Pujols remains productive, regularly claim the American League West or a wild card berth and continue to draw three million fans as easily as they unlock the front gate to their stadium.

But a bunch of World Series titles? Let's be real.

Sure, that would make the Pujols signing a success. Based on baseball's recent history, though, the Angels should worry about starting with one first. And their fans should realize anything more than one is a bonus.

So when Kentucky Coach John Calipari was asked after his team’s 82-70 victory over Baylor

So when Kentucky Coach John Calipari was asked after his team's 82-70 victory over Baylor if his Wildcats might be distracted this week by a national semifinal matchup with its archrival Louisville at the Final Four in New Orleans, he just shrugged.

It was an easy answer for him.

"I'm not worried about who we're playing," Calipari said.

No. 1 Kentucky (36-2) dunked over Baylor's height, shot over its defense and blitzed the Bears with transition in front of 24,035 fans, most of them wearing Kentucky blue, at the Georgia Dome. When the Wildcats play as well as they did in the first half while building a 42-22 lead, it really does not matter what team they play. And that includes Louisville, which lost to Kentucky, 69-62, on Dec. 31.

Kentucky is considered to have the best collection of talent in college basketball, and very little of it is from its home state, so the players are not predisposed to feel the pressure of the fierce Red versus Blue rivalry with Louisville. Among the Wildcats' top seven players, only the senior wing Darius Miller is a Kentuckian. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, a versatile 6-foot-7 player who led the Wildcats with 19 points against Baylor, is from New Jersey. Davis, a 6-10 freshman who had 18 points and 11 rebounds, is from Chicago.

Louisville and Kentucky have split their four matchups in the N.C.A.A. tournament, but this will be their first meeting in the Final Four. 

The sale is to close June 1. Doral has held a PGA Tour event since 1962

"It's a tremendous location, 800 acres right smack in the middle of Miami, and we look to make this one of the great places anywhere in the world for golf," Trump said Thursday. "It needs a lot of work. It's a little bit tired, and that's OK.

 And we're going to do something special."  The sale is to close June 1.  Doral has held a PGA Tour event since 1962, and it was elevated to a World Golf Championship in 2007

. It is hosting a 74-man field this week that includes the top 50 players in the world ranking. Trump said the course would be shut down after the 2013 tournament, and Gil Hanse would renovate what is now called the TPC Blue Monster.
