Verona province, according to a media report, weeks after the country was shocked by the tragic death of a Sikh farm worker who bled to death.

Germany had been sailing through the Euro Championships, with only one team more imperious than them — the Spanish. Unfortunately, the draw meant they couldn't meet each other in the final. So a QF meeting had to do. From the morning you could see everyone and everything sporting the German tricolour, kids wearing Die Mannschaft kits. One German friend booked us a table in a restaurant-cum-biergarten where we had a prime view of the huge screen. 'Please get there early!' he had said.

If their spouse or partner earns under about $55,000, their marginal rate is only 22.7 per cent — a spread of more than 30 percentage points.
