Image
MEXICO CITY (AP) — To Mexicans, it's just unthinkable: Their soccer-crazed country stands a chance of not qualifying for the World Cup. Worse yet, it was a 2-0 loss Tuesday night to their bitter northern rival — the U.S. — that has left Mexico out of position for a spot in next year's 32-nation tournament. The team known as the Tri has only two games left to make up ground. RECAP:  US 2, Mexico 0 It's a front-page disaster. One newspaper calls it the "Tritanic." A sample of other headlines: "Fiasco," ''Crisis," ''Dreadful." "People see this as the country failing them, especially when it means it may not qualify for the World Cup," said Miguel Angel Lara, an academic who studies sports and society at the Ibero-American University.

Gennifer Flowers, who claims to have carried on a 12-year relationship with Bill Clinton at a 1995 book event. Picture: AFP THE woman who claims she was Bill Clinton's mistress, Gennifer Flowers, says she and Mr Clinton would still be together if it weren't for his daughter Chelsea and that Mr Clinton confided that wife Hillary Clinton was bisexual. Breaking her silence two decades after news of their affair surfaced, Flowers, now a singer and sex advice columnist in New Orleans, told the  MailOnline  she has no regrets but believes she and Mr Clinton would still be together if Mrs Clinton had not become pregnant with daughter Chelsea. Mr Clinton was "the love of her life", she said. Flowers' claims to have been Mr Clinton’s mistress for 12 years threatened to sink his 1992 presidential campaign, until Mrs Clinton appeared beside him as the supportive wife during a  60 Minutes  interview days later, in which Mr Clinton denied the affair. "B...
