He may not quite be the last of the Mohicans, but BBC veteran John Simpson last night took aim at his old school after it scrapped using Native American tribes for its house system.

Dulwich Prep London, a fee-paying all-boys school, feels the long-standing names constitute ‘cultural appropriation’. It says the changes follow concerns raised by some parents.

But critics have denounced the rebranding. Since 1916, pupils at the school – whose alumni also includes actor Hugh Bonneville  – have been placed in one of four houses. Mr Simpson, BBC world affairs editor, was in Mohican house.

Another house, Deerfeet, was named in honour of an Indian runner known as Deerfoot. The others, Chippeway and Ojibwas, were named in celebration of the Ojibwa people from the Great Lakes in the US and Canada, also referred to as the Chippewa.

Deerfeet will now be called Lamassu, a mythical creature from Mesopotamia which had a human head and a bull’s body. The other three houses will be Phoenix, Pegasus and Gryphon.

Mr Simpson told…

Football has returned home – was the slogan of the European Championship in 1996, which was organized by England, the cradle of football.

It was in England that UEFA introduced a modified (expanded) version of the continental championship – with four groups of four teams each, as well as a quarter-final match. The Euro is twice as long as the previous one, twice as many games and, some would say, twice as good football.

As 30 years earlier, when they organized the World Cup, the English expected to win a major competition on their territory. But, as the legendary English centre-forward Gary Lineker said a few years earlier, “football is a game of 11 against 11 in which the Germans always win”.

Of course, the Germans won the European Championship with a victory against Croatia in the quarter-finals (2:1), a triumph against England in the semi-finals (on penalties, after 1:1) and Oliver Biroff’s golden goal against the championship sensation Czech Republic in the final (2:1).

Since the Euros in England, an era of modern football has begun where everyone plays like the Germans played ten or 20 years ago – with lots of running and raw power. Thus began the era of industrial football, which the Germans nurtured much earlier than others.

And the “last Mohicans” of real German football were led from the bench by the former “elf” defender Berti Fogst, who is much better known to the public in this area as a player who got lost in Dragan Džajić’s dribbles, than as an impassable right back.

His team consisted of Kepke, Babel, Reuter, Zamer, Zige, Štrunc, Ailts, Hessler, Scholl, Möller and Klinsmann, while Schneider, Biroff, Reck, Helmer, Kunz came from the bench… It was the…

Marek Hamsik was hard to miss given his spiked mohican.

But, despite being taken to Germany by Slovakia, the ex-Napoli star won’t be playing at Euro 2024.

Hamsik has a very unique styleCredit: Getty

The former midfielder, now with a more reserved haircut, represented his country at three major international tournaments, with the last being Euro 2020.

Slovakia will have to do without their greatest player this summer in Germany, but he’ll still be there in a new role.

Why is Marek Hamsik not at Euro 2024?

Hamsik has officially retired from all forms of football, which explains why he won’t be on the pitch this summer.

The 36-year-old decided to call time on his career at the end of the 2022/23 campaign after 21 years as a player.

The majority of those were spent at Napoli, where he became a legend.

Hamsik joined the Serie A giants in 2007 and stayed until 2019, winning three trophies.

He made 520 appearances for Napoli, scoring 121 goals and setting up another 103.

However, he was even more integral to his countryCredit: Getty

For his country, the midfield maestro was even more integral.

He’s Slovakia’s record appearance holder with 138 caps, and to top that off, he’s also their highest goalscorer with 26 international strikes.

Even in qualifying for this tournament, Hamsik played two final games and set up a goal in a 2-1 win over Iceland, so he was a player who did everything he could for Slovakia.

And in retirement,…

Sony Xperia 10 VI Intro

Sony made a slight adjustment to its flagship lineup with the Xperia 1 VI, going for a more conventional 19.5:9 aspect ratio and ditching the 4K screen, but there’s still a way to get the essential Sony 21:9 experience for not a ton of money. Enter the Xperia 10 Mark VI.

Sony’s budget offering still sports the aforementioned cinematic aspect ratio, comes with a bright and vivid screen, and features a microSD card slot and a 3.5mm audio jack—features that even flagship phones lack nowadays.

The Xperia 10 VI, however, costs 399 euros and faces fierce competition in this price range. Should you buy one if you’re looking for a budget workhorse, or should you look elsewhere? Let’s find out!Disclaimer: We have a brand new PhoneArena Review Rating system and because of the more demanding criteria of that benchmark, overall review ratings are now lower. That does not mean there are surprising new shortcoming of phones we review, but it is just the way this new rating works. We believe that it gives readers a much better idea of how phones compare to others in the same price class, so make sure to always look at the scores in the context of the averages. You can learn more about our new review scoring system here.

Tributes have poured in in recent hours after Toni Kroos announced he would retire after this summer’s Euros.

The 34-year-old will play his last match at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday, and his last match for Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

Perhaps the most poignant tribute to Kroos was paid by his long-time midfield partner Luka Modric, who sent a fantastic message to the German maestro on Instagram.

Modric greets Kroos

“Toni, it’s hard for me to write these words. The world of football is sad because a historic player is leaving, and I admit that I am also very sad. My friend, you are a legend of this sport and a legend of Real Madrid. I had a lot of fun playing alongside you. It was an honor to share the Real Madrid midfielder with you. You have qualities that make you a unique and special player, and there will never be another Toni Kroos. Unforgettable European nights, titles, the magic of the Bernabeu – we will never forget this golden age of the club in our lives. You’ve accomplished everything, but you still have one more to go. Together for 15 years. I will miss you, my friend.”

Kroos’ retirement announcement means it is increasingly likely that Modric will stay at Real Madrid for at least another 12 months, although there is no doubt he would prefer they were still teammates…

IN SHORT

• The 34-year-old Toni Kroos will play his final match at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday, before retiring after the Champions League final with Real Madrid.

• Longtime teammate and friend Luka Modric paid a moving tribute to Kroos on Instagram, calling him a legend of football and Real Madrid.

LOUDONVILLE — What better place to host a Dungeons & Dragons event in north central Ohio than in a real castle?

Fortunately, just such a place exists here in the form of Mohican Castle, just outside Loudonville.

Tabletop Vacation’s D&D in a Castle, renowned for its immersive Dungeons & Dragons experiences in historic castles, under license by leading toy and game company Hasbro, came to the same conclusion.

Tabletop has announced the rapid sellout of its first event in the United States. Scheduled for July 14 to 18 at a beautiful castle on the border of the Mohican Forest, the event was fully booked within 33 minutes of ticket release.

That reaction underscores the extraordinary demand for this unique experience. 

Founded by siblings Cameron and Tara Rout, D&D in a Castle uniquely combines Cameron’s D&D expertise with Tara’s knowledge of castles and history to create unparalleled gaming retreats.

Their collective passion has captivated D&D enthusiasts globally, offering a perfect blend of fantasy gaming in picturesque settings. The July event’s rapid sellout bodes well for the company’s expansion and popularity in the U.S.

“We started with a dream to integrate the immersive experience of round-the-clock D&D with the fantastical setting of castles,” said Tara Rout, Co-Founder & CEO of D&D in a Castle. 

“Launching in the U.S. at Landoll’s Mohican Castle, a location steeped in architectural beauty and history, is a realization of that dream and a milestone for us.”

With the July event now fully booked, a waiting list has been opened for those still hoping to participate: https://dndinacastle.com/july-14-18-2024-waitlist.

2 additional D&D events at Landoll’s Mohican Castle
