81 m. ago Match made in Munich: King Kane has redefined the role of a Bundesliga striker | Philipp Lahm

Forward has had historic start to career in Germany but will his style stand up against PSG’s system-driven philosophy?Harry Kane is a perfect fit for Bayern Munich. He is tailor-made for the Bundesliga, which has been the top league in Europe in terms of goals scored for years. German football is characterised by exchanges of punches, with the ball moving back and forth and plenty of chances on both sides; and Bayern are in the penalty area more often than any other team. Because Kane is confident and precise in front of goal and uses his height and heading ability to his advantage from corners and free-kicks, he scores like nowhere else.The statistics are fantastic, with his scoring rate in the Bundesliga more than one-and-a-half times better than in the Premier League and for the national team. He has scored more goals (74) than he has played games (72) in the Bundesliga, significantly surpassing Gerd Müller’s record (0.85). Continue reading...

2 h. ago Brief Encounter at 80: why we’re still falling for David Lean’s 1945 romance

The story of hot tea and unconsummated love hails from a very different era – and was far from easy to make. Yet it remains a key influence for film-makers from Sofia Coppola to Celine Song, James Ivory to Greta GerwigThe first time David Lean’s 1945 romantic masterpiece was shown to the public, the audience were in stitches. It not being a comedy, this was far from ideal. The director was so embarrassed, he returned to his hotel planning to break into the film lab and burn the negative at the earliest opportunity.Eighty years on, the legacy of Brief Encounter has proved anything but. First, its train station setting and ubiquity on British TV led to parodies by everyone from Victoria Wood to Birds Eye ready meals. Continue reading...

2 h. ago Tom’s Crossing by Mark Z Danielewski – House of Leaves author returns with a 1200

A quarter century after that landmark cult novel, this new epic has aspects of brilliance but seems designed for academic study rather than readerly enjoymentIn this moment of cultural panic about the decline of reading, it takes an enviable confidence to deliver a volume such as Tom’s Crossing. Weighing in at more than 1,200 pages of closely printed text, the novel contains, I would hazard, about half a million words – roughly two Ulysses. It’s also, for that matter, about twice the length of Danielewski’s debut, House of Leaves, which secured cult status for its author on publication 25 years ago. Tom’s Crossing is so big that when I got it out on the tube, I felt like that character on Trigger Happy TV with his enormous mobile phone. “Look,” I seemed to be telling the passengers scrolling Instagram on their devices, “I’m reading a book!”The novel is not merely long, it’s also a challenging, deliberately arcane work that insists on its own epic status, yet has at its heart a strai...

4 h. ago Playing dirty used to be the west’s preserve. Now we’re letting Moscow beat us at our own game | Joseph Pearson

The Berlin airlift was a cold war victory that relied on a persuasive story about starving civilians. But was it true?We in the west used to play dirty – and during the cold war, we were good at it. Nowadays, we leave grey-zone tactics and hybrid warfare to Russia, which is winning the disinformation war. Europe’s pride in playing by the rules might just be democracy’s achilles heel.The Berlin airlift is a good example of what we once did well – and have since forgotten. The cold war arguably began and ended in Berlin, bookended by the 1948-9 airlift and the fall of the wall in 1989. The former was the largest air relief operation in history. It supplied Berlin when Stalin tried to force out the western allies. In parallel, the west used radio (RIAS, or Radio in the American Sector, a precursor to the CIA-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE) and Radio Liberty), and strengthened soft power with cultural missions such as the British-staged Shakespeare in the rubble, and education through Am...
