The main eventWe should know by now to fill in World Cup wallcharts with pencil rather than pen. Quick Guide Qatar: beyond the football Show This is a World Cup like no other. Spain hammered Costa Rica 7-0 in the most 1958 scoreline of this World Cup so far. An underdog role may suit Hajime Moriyasu’s side – and a point will be enough if Germany and Costa Rica draw. Costa Rica are, in a way, the most efficient team at the World Cup: one shot on target and one goal.

Jinseon Korean BBQ Restaurant, Coventry: ‘Unalloyed enthusiasm’ – restaurant review

Jinseon Korean BBQ Restaurant, Unit 5 Priory Place, Fairfax Street, Coventry CV1 5SQ. Whereas the steel cauldron of glowing coals, brought to our table at Jinseon Korean BBQ Restaurant in Coventry, is the very stuff of legend. It’s clear that Jinseon is here to serve that customer base with as much unalloyed enthusiasm as possible. The menu begins with various takes on Korean fried chicken, that double-fried wonder doused in enough gochujang-fuelled sauce to paint the entire town centre red. She worried, when I invited her to join me, that it wouldn’t be as good as other Korean restaurants I’ve tried.

‘How could this happen?’ Seoul in disbelief after fatal Halloween crush

There was deep silence in the air around the site where, the night before, 153 people had died in a crowd crush in one of Seoul’s most popular nightlife districts. The crowd crush is one of the worst disasters the country has seen in years. The accident happened on a narrow side street near Itaewon station that connects to a slew of bars and clubs from the main road. The exact cause of the crowd crush is still unknown, but many onlookers behind police lines were eager to share their theories. Kim Ye-ji, a young woman from Seoul, arrived to place flowers near an exit of Itaewon station.

North Korea’s recent drills show west cannot ignore nuclear threat

In an overcrowded diplomatic nuclear space, the last thing the west needed to hear was that North Korea was back in business. It was the first time since the 1945 division of the peninsula that North Korea weapons had landed so close to South Korea, 26km beyond the northern limit line. These exercises, designed to deter North Korea’s nuclear ambitions, involve 240 warplanes - including advanced F-35 stealth fighters - conducting about 1,600 sorties. The other school says this underplays the extent to which North Korea’s leaders are driven by fear of domestic economic failure. So Washington is waiting to see if North Korea will revive its nuclear test programme, and has only limited options if it does.

Diego Alonso blames Portugal penalty as Uruguay make ugly World Cup exit

The Uruguay coach, Diego Alonso, blamed the penalty given to Portugal in their second group game for his side’s exit from the World Cup. There was penalty controversy – again – in the game against Ghana, with two strong Uruguay appeals ruled out by the German official, Daniel Siebert, in the second half. Afterwards, though, Alonso was more exercised about an incident in the previous game, which Uruguay lost 2-0 to Portugal. Faghani gave the penalty from which Fernandes made it 2-0; had that game finished 1-0, Uruguay would have gone through. “We are out because of the penalty for Portugal and what it did to the goal difference,” Alonso said.
