A South African man who wanted to watch a World Cup match instead of a religious programme was beaten to death by his family in the northeastern part of the country, police said yesterday. David Makoeya, 61-year-old from the small village of Makweya, Limpopo province, fought with his wife and two children for the remote control on Sunday because he wanted to watch Germany play Australia. The others, however, wanted to watch a gospel show. "He said, 'No, I want to watch soccer'," Mothemane Malefo, a police spokesman, said. "That is when the argument came about. In that argument, they started assaulting him."
Warming lamps are being used at the shady end of Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in an effort to dry the pitch before today's match between Germany and Serbia.Heavy rain over the past three days has left the pitch waterlogged and forced Fifa to ban both Group D teams from training at the stadium on the eve of the match. A large tarpaulin was also placed on one end of the field, with about 30 large lamps heating the grass. Sunshine and blue skies returned to Port Elizabeth yesterday, when Serbia held a training session at a local university. Germany delayed their arrival in Port Elizabeth until late yesterday after training at their Pretoria base.
Organisers are making sure there will be no racket from vuvuzelas at the Wimbledon tennis championships in England. The plastic horns which have provided a constant drone at the World Cup will be banned from the grand slam tournament, which starts on Monday. Wimbledon said in a statement that the horns "could be very distracting to the players and spectators." In addition, no World Cup games will be broadcast on the big screens at Wimbledon and fans will not be allowed to bring large flags into the grounds.
A sombre and frail Nelson Mandela attended the funeral yesterday for his 13-year-old great-granddaughter, whose death in a car crash last week following the World Cup's opening concert marked a tragic start to the tournament. The 91-year-old anti-apartheid icon, whose public appearances are increasingly rare, emerged stiffly from a car and leaned on a walking stick. He was ferried in a golf cart to the brick chapel of the Johannesburg private school Zenani Mandela had attended and took a front pew.
Frozen pitches at Ghana's training base north of Rustenburg caused their practice session yesterday to be delayed for two hours. The west Africans were scheduled to start a private training session at nine in the morning but were told that the pitches at the Mogwase Stadium would be unfit for use.
A French cable TV channel is offering vuvuzela-free broadcasts for all matches at the World Cup, using frequency-separating technology to block out the trumpets' buzzing drone while letting other sounds come through. Canal Plus said the system was first tested on Tuesday. Cyrille Linette, the channel's head of sport, said the sound was "nearly perfect" for when Argentina beat South Korea 4-1 yesterday. The technology, based on splitting frequencies, reduces the vuvuzela buzz but allows other crowd noises and commentators' voices to be heard. It is developed by Audionamix, which works on sound effects for the cinema industry. The company that provides the broadcast feed for the World Cup has doubled its audio filters to reduce the buzz.
Police broke up a demonstration of some 200 stewards with rubber bullets and a stun grenade in a labour dispute linked to low pay for World Cup duties. Police superintendent Andre Traut said seven people were arrested but none injured during yesterday's midday protest outside the stewards' employer's offices in Cape Town. Police have taken responsibility for stadium security in Cape Town, both Johannesburg venues, and the grounds in Durban and Port Elizabeth since stewards began protests on Sunday night.
Police estimated about 1.56 million fans in South Korea came out yesterday to cheer in public squares, stadiums and other locations to watch their team lose 4-1 to Argentina. Nearly 1 million people turned out on Saturday night in the rain and were ecstatic when South Korea beat Greece 2-0 in their opening game.

Key findings
- Over a period of seven years, a team of scientists analysed dietary data from 50,000 North American adults.
- Eating one or two meals a day was associated with a relative decrease in BMI, compared with three meals. Snacks count as a meal. Likewise, participants who ate more than three meals a day experienced an increase in BMI: the more meals a day, the greater the increase.
- People who ate breakfast experienced a relative decrease in their BMI compared with “breakfast-skippers”.
- Those who turned the eating day on its head to make breakfast the biggest meal of the day, did even better.
- But scrapping dinner altogether gave the best results. The study found that the BMI of subjects who had a long overnight fast (of 18 hours or more) decreased when compared even with those who had a medium overnight fast, of between 12 and 17 hours.

Salah in numbers
€39 million: Liverpool agreed a fee, including add-ons, in the region of €39m (nearly Dh176m) to sign Salah from Roma last year. The exchange rate at the time meant that cost the Reds £34.3m - a bargain given his performances since.
13: The 25-year-old player was not a complete stranger to the Premier League when he arrived at Liverpool this summer. However, during his previous stint at Chelsea, he made just 13 Premier League appearances, seven of which were off the bench, and scored only twice.
57: It was in the 57th minute of his Liverpool bow when Salah opened his account for the Reds in the 3-3 draw with Watford back in August. The Egyptian prodded the ball over the line from close range after latching onto Roberto Firmino's attempted lob.
7: Salah's best scoring streak of the season occurred between an FA Cup tie against West Brom on January 27 and a Premier League win over Newcastle on March 3. He scored for seven games running in all competitions and struck twice against Tottenham.
3: This season Salah became the first player in Premier League history to win the player of the month award three times during a term. He was voted as the division's best player in November, February and March.
40: Salah joined Roger Hunt and Ian Rush as the only players in Liverpool's history to have scored 40 times in a single season when he headed home against Bournemouth at Anfield earlier this month.
30: The goal against Bournemouth ensured the Egyptian achieved another milestone in becoming the first African player to score 30 times across one Premier League campaign.
8: As well as his fine form in England, Salah has also scored eight times in the tournament phase of this season's Champions League. Only Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, with 15 to his credit, has found the net more often in the group stages and knockout rounds of Europe's premier club competition.

Dubai works towards better air quality by 2021
Dubai is on a mission to record good air quality for 90 per cent of the year – up from 86 per cent annually today – by 2021.
The municipality plans to have seven mobile air-monitoring stations by 2020 to capture more accurate data in hourly and daily trends of pollution.
These will be on the Palm Jumeirah, Al Qusais, Muhaisnah, Rashidiyah, Al Wasl, Al Quoz and Dubai Investment Park.
“It will allow real-time responding for emergency cases,” said Khaldoon Al Daraji, first environment safety officer at the municipality.
“We’re in a good position except for the cases that are out of our hands, such as sandstorms.
“Sandstorms are our main concern because the UAE is just a receiver.
“The hotspots are Iran, Saudi Arabia and southern Iraq, but we’re working hard with the region to reduce the cycle of sandstorm generation.”
Mr Al Daraji said monitoring as it stood covered 47 per cent of Dubai.
There are 12 fixed stations in the emirate, but Dubai also receives information from monitors belonging to other entities.
“There are 25 stations in total,” Mr Al Daraji said.
“We added new technology and equipment used for the first time for the detection of heavy metals.
“A hundred parameters can be detected but we want to expand it to make sure that the data captured can allow a baseline study in some areas to ensure they are well positioned.”
