Wales can begin to dream that the 12-year rule comes true at Euro 2016
Wales have every right to believe they can follow Greece in 2004 and Denmark in 1992 and be the latest small, unregarded nation to win the competition In the aftermath of the quite stunning Welsh victory over Belgium, Chris Coleman was understandably reluctant to look too far ahead. It is best not to think about winning the tournament, he argued. You have to be in the final first and the most sensible approach is to concentrate on the next challenge, which happens to be Portugal. Wales might be in dreamland after Lille, but they are not about to fall into the trap of talking themselves up. They are a better side than many opponents seem to imagine, but that’s for Wales to know and others to find out. Yet the question of winning the event is an entirely fair one to put to a team in the semi-finals. If you are in the last four, anything is possible. Just imagine the assumptions and bullish declarations that would now be flying around had England put themselves in Wales’s position. Yes, fair enough, in that event there would probably be pigs flying around too. Continue reading...

Australian senator Xenophon emerging as kingmaker in tight election
By Matt Siegel ADELAIDE, Australia (Reuters) - As Australians cast their ballots in a tight election on Saturday afternoon, senator Nick Xenophon worked up a sweat while preparing kebabs at a Greek restaurant in his hometown. "Nick, if you no get across the line tonight, I give you a job," owner Yianni Tsagariolis shouted in a thick Greek accent, drawing laughter from Xenophon supporters who had gathered at the restaurant. Australians went to sleep without knowing who will be prime minister, but the eventual election winner -- whether the ruling conservative Liberal-National coalition or the opposition Labor Party -- will likely need to negotiate with NXT senators to pass key legislation.
