It will also improve your prose. Soccer is a beautiful game - again, game. This is sport, not war - keep it that way. Oh, and get out and travel - it diminishes your ignorance of fascinating cultures. Bon voyage ... PK,

I have a few questions for the CNN sports news team and the rest of the news team... 1. Yesterday there was a very imprtant sporting event that took place in Pakistan, The Cricket Asia Cup finals...which was won by Sri Lanka against the mighty Indians, but I tunned in to watch world sports on CNN this morning as I always do and I watched right till the end of your programme but there was no mentioning of anything about this important match. And on top of that later on, I logged onto your website's sports section but still I couldnt find any headline about this match. Is cricket not an important enough sport for you to dedicate some air time on your channel. But I am sure you are all well aware that it is not just considered a sport in some of the southasian countries, but a religion and more than a billion people are diehard fans of the game. Whic leads me to my next question... 2. Maybe South Asian sporting events aren't as important as the ones that take place in other continents such as Europe and America...This predjudice clearly shows in your other news items as well, for example when there is a bomb blast in Sri Lanka which would have killed ten or twenty people, CNN just takes less than ten seconds to tell the story to the rest of the world, but when Gay marriages were made legal in California, CNN made gave the story quite a good air time. 3) My third and last question would be; would your reaction to this sporting event be any different, had Australia, England or South Africa had played in this finals and won? I'm just a curious viewer who watches a lot of CNN new and who's not in his home country. First of all sorry for using this section to express my views, as this is not about football.

A win for either turkey or russia would have been historic as the dream teams of yesteryears (denmark,greece). And i hope next time England will be able to qualify 2 on the group stages.
