John Terry s late winner ensured England took another significant step towards next year s World Cup finals after a 2-1 win over Ukraine here on Wednesday.
Terry s 84th-minute goal ensured Fabio Capello s squad reached the half-way stage in their campaign to reach South Africa with five wins out of five in Group Six, and maintained their five-point lead over Croatia, 2-0 winners over Andorra earlier in the day.

Some people are fans of the Cincinnati Bengals. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Cincinnati Bengals. This 2015 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: the Cincinnati Bengals. SPREADING JOY THROUGHOUT THE LAND… Your 2014 record: 10-5-1. That includes a first-round playoff loss to the Colts that I cannot remember at all. I know I watched it. I know I sat there and stared at a television for three hours, attempting to absorb it. It was no use. Whenever the Bengals play a playoff game, my brain sets itself to INSTAWIPE because it knows it the game will not be worth preserving in memory. The Bengals have lost in the first round of the playoffs for four straight years by a combined score of 103-43. They have…
