Mihir Bose: Attack in Angola proves sport is no longer immune from the terrorists

Mihir Bose

Terrorist attacks, like the one on the Togo team in Cabinda, always raise more questions than answers.

Mihir Bose: A World Cup in Africa will not threaten Europe’s football hegemony

Mihir Bose

Mihir Bose: Lord Triesman is popular enough abroad to deliver England the 2018 World Cup if he can survive at home

Mihir Bose

David Triesman finds himself in the position not dissimilar to Prime Ministers: more popular abroad than at home.
