Time is already running out for Nico Rosberg this season and, if he wants to mount a challenge for the championship, he has to turn the tables on Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton sharpish.

The last grand prix in Bahrain was an important race for Rosberg to win, because he was already some way behind Hamilton in the championship. In fact, he entered the weekend third overall, behind Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel as well.
But Rosberg did not win - Hamilton did again.
It was fortunate for Rosberg that Vettel had a bad day at the office - but Kimi Raikkonen's second place for Ferrari underlined just how difficult this year is going to be, for Mercedes in general and Rosberg, who finished third in the race, in particular.
Fortunately, there is now a decent break before the next race in Spain on 10 May for him to have a think about what to do next.
Last year, Rosberg took the title battle to the final race, eventually losing out to Hamilton in Abu Dhabi. This year, Hamilton has been in control since day one, and after four races is more than a clear victory's worth of points ahead - 27 points in front.
In reality, Hamilton has been on a roll since after the Belgian Grand Prix last year.
Hamilton got a big lift out of Mercedes backing him following the collision between the two drivers at Spa. The team not only punished Rosberg privately, but admonished him in public as well.
Rosberg was clearly quite badly affected by that incident. The team stopped smiling at him in quite the same way as before, and it appears that he looked inside himself and thought: "Actually, yeah, that was not appropriate; I should not have done that."
Hamilton has been dominant from that moment on. The only time Rosberg has beaten him since was in the penultimate race of last year in Brazil, where it has to be said the German did a super job all weekend.
Hamilton's momentum has carried on into this year, and he has eradicated his main area of weakness from 2014, which was his first flying lap in final qualifying.
Hamilton got quite a lot of those runs wrong last year, and that put him under pressure on the final run, where Rosberg more often than not beat him.
This year, though, Hamilton has nailed those first Q3 laps every single time, and the pressure is firmly on Rosberg.
I'm convinced Hamilton has stepped up this year. He seems more at ease, with less pressure on him - which I'm sure comes from winning the championship again and feeling he has nothing to prove to himself.
Rosberg is an intelligent guy, and that has often been a strength, but this year he is over-thinking.
When that happens, you tense up, and things don't flow. It stops being natural. It's happened to me in the past and I'm sure to every driver; in fact probably every sportsperson.
You could see that after Q2 in Bahrain. In fact, Radio 5 live commentator James Allen and I had an on-air debate about it at the time.
After Rosberg had been a second off Hamilton in Q2, James was very quick to pick up that Rosberg was thinking about the race and trying not to take too much out of that set of tyres - which is the one the drivers have to start the race on. Rosberg later admitted that was indeed on his mind.
I said at the time I would prefer Hamilton's one-second advantage, because going into Q3 you know what the car is going to do and where your limits are.
The driver is heading into that crucial final session knowing exactly what he has to do - and he also has the psychological advantage of that margin. It's like: "There you go, I've done it. Now you try to beat it."
And that's exactly what happened - Rosberg qualified only third, and said afterwards that this was partly because he did not have a feel for the limit because he had been so conservative on his Q2 lap.
I've experienced what Rosberg went through last year in sports car racing. Losing a world championship is one of the most gut-wrenching experiences a racing driver can have.
You put so much effort and emotional energy into it - especially if it is a straight fight between two guys in the same team.
There was high tension within Mercedes last year, which is very draining. At the end of it, the person who wins gets a massive boost and the other one has to recover from that, which does not happen overnight.
When a driver gets into this sort of mindset, it takes something to change it, and usually that is a victory.
For now, though, Rosberg is yet to get everything together this season. He is doing a neat and tidy job, but it's not enough.
Right now, he is in a similar position to the one Andy Murray faces in tennis. Murray is a superb player, but he is competing in an era of three all-time greats - Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Those guys will become legends of the sport. And it is the same for Rosberg, racing in an era that contains Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Vettel.
Rosberg needs to throw off the internal pressures - and that is very difficult to do.
His problem is that the media adds to it. So far, Rosberg has fronted up to all the questions about trying to beat Hamilton. But it might be a better idea to decide not to go there and refuse to answer them.
China was another example of him not doing quite the right thing. I don't think his comments after the race, accusing Hamilton of backing him into the Ferraris, did him any favours at all. It betrayed a weakness.
I know how he feels. When I joined Audi in sportscars, I had already won Le Mans with Porsche, but it was some time before I won it with Audi.
And Audi kept bringing it up, which made it worse for me and added to the pressure. It was like telling the media what to ask, and of course then every question focused on the fact I had not yet won Le Mans with Audi.
There are simple things you can do to alleviate some of that pressure, and Rosberg needs to work out what they are and do them.
Rosberg is perhaps not on the ultimate level of Hamilton at his best. But he has the speed and the capability to be there or thereabouts - he proved it last year.
You don't go to bed a fast driver and wake up a slow one, and you can only control yourself.
So you have to concentrate on that, don't think about what the other guy is up to and get back to enjoying driving a racing car, because that is what will unlock those final couple of tenths of a second that make the difference between winning and losing.
If Rosberg does not turn this around soon, it may be too late. Raikkonen is revived this year and Ferrari have two cars that can mix it with Mercedes.
That will increase Ferrari's development potential and they have nothing to lose, because they are coming back after their worst season for 21 years.
Ferrari are not quite there on absolute pace yet, but they are close enough to be a fly in the ointment.
Last year, if one of the Mercedes drivers had a bad race, they would almost certainly still finish second behind the other, which mitigated their losses in the constructors' championship.
But this year that is not the case. Ferrari are right there and will split the Mercedes if there is any kind of problem - such as Rosberg's brake failure on the penultimate lap in Bahrain that gifted second place to Raikkonen.
In these situations, the championship can slip away from a driver quite quickly.
At the moment, everything Hamilton touches seems to turn to gold. And Mercedes have already intimated that they would look at operating team orders if Ferrari start to get a sniff that they have a realistic chance of the championship and throw everything behind one driver.

If that happens, with the way things are going at the moment, there is only one driver Mercedes are going to back, and it is certainly not Rosberg.
It is building up into a very exciting year. You have the might of Ferrari with a cavalier attitude against the more methodical, process-led approach of Mercedes.
There are going to be fireworks as a result.

Kathryn Stone has been appointed as the new parliamentary commissioner for standards.

Ms Stone will take on the role of overseeing the code of conduct and rules for MPs, including the register of financial interests.
She has previously served as the commissioner for victims and survivors of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
Ms Stone will take over from current standards commissioner Kathryn Hudson in January next year.
Currently the chief legal ombudsman of England and Wales, Ms Stone has also worked for the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
She spent 11 years as chief executive of the charity Voice UK and was awarded an OBE in 2007 for her services to people with learning disabilities.
Ms Stone took on the role of victims' commissioner in 2012 but faced criticism the following year for an interview she gave in the News Letter in which she refused to be drawn on whether she believed the IRA and UVF were terrorists.
She later said she had "no hesitation at all in condemning all acts of violence".


Organising her own funeral is not something that 36-year-old Laura Lennox ever thought she would have to do.

But the mother-of-four, who received a devastating cancer diagnosis earlier this year, is actively preparing her young family for her death.
She is mother to Caileb, 13, Noah, nine, Brooke, eight, and Jesse, 15 months.
Mrs Lennox, from Cullybackey, County Antrim, has been thinking of creative ways for her children to feel close to her, long after she is gone.
She has made memory boxes for each of them and kept a journal for them to pore over.
Mrs Lennox was 34 and pregnant with her youngest child when she was told she had breast cancer.
Initial worries centred around the wellbeing of her unborn baby, who was born by emergency C-section at 30 weeks.
"He was a little sleeping beauty after all of my chemotherapy," she said.
"He was safe because I had a reduced dose of the treatment, but it was decided that he had to come out early.
"Little Jesse was 3lb when he was born and his lungs were underdeveloped, but he fought to full health.
"I completed my treatment and life returned to pretty much normal."
But after fighting off the disease once, it was to return in January this year.
The cancer has now spread to Mrs Lennox's lungs, and her prognosis is not good.
"I am preparing to die," she told BBC News NI.
"It may sound morbid and I try not to make things too sad, but I believe it's important that the children know I won't be around forever.
"During my first round of treatment, I explained to them that I was sick and had to take medicine, but when it returned I knew I had to be more honest about the future.
"I've always been the type of mother who wants to protect her kids and to hide them from anything too upsetting.
"But now they know I won't be around to see them grown up and that I'm not going to get better.
"Obviously I was devastated when I got the news - it's not something any mother would want, but life can be taken away from you by cancer at any age.
"I don't have long left, but the kids get to go through some of the sadness they have ahead with me there to comfort them."
As well as the memory boxes and leaving each child advice for the future, Mrs Lennox has been planning her funeral.
"I've sorted the grave, chosen my own coffin, written my eulogy and chosen the readings and hymns," she said.
"It's a strange experience, but my husband Alistair, 42, will have the four kids to look after when I'm gone, he doesn't need the stress of organising the funeral too."
Mrs Lennox said she will make her final preparations in the coming days and then put it all to the side in order to spend the time she has left with her family.
"Christmas is my favourite time of year, so although I may not be there this year, we are going to make decorations together to hang around the house," she said.
Describing her situation now, she said: "We've been humbled by the support we've received from friends, family and neighbours.
"I am happy, I am comfortable and I am content loving my family and my friends.
"I'm getting on with things as best I can and appreciating every day."
Mrs Lennox has also urged any woman who notices any change in her body to get to the doctor straight away and to check themselves regularly for anything out of the ordinary.


Mark Cavendish won a final-stage sprint to capture the Tour of Dubai title.

The Isle of Man rider, 29, had slipped four seconds adrift of Germany's John Degenkolb on Friday.
But he claimed 10 bonus seconds in his second stage victory of the four-day event to finish six seconds clear of the German in the final standings.
"To win here is pretty special," said Cavendish. "We rode hard the whole week and today we really had to work. I'm super happy with our lads."
The Etixx-QuickStep rider clocked a time of two hours, 37 minutes and 15 seconds in Saturday's 123-km stage, which finished at the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.
He finished just ahead of Team Sky's Elia Viviani and Juan Jose Lobato of Movistar, both of whom recorded the same time as Cavendish.
Degenkolb could only cross the line in ninth.
Cavendish was critical of rival teams at the end of the race, claiming that "most of the days we were the only team riding".
"I was a bit frustrated with the other teams," he added. "They came here but didn't really want to race."
Final overall standings:
1. M Cavendish (GB) (EQS) 15 hours 22 minutes 38 seconds
2. J Degenkolb (Ger) (TGA) @ 0:06
3. JJ Lobato (Sp) (Mov) @ 0:10

The trial of a man suspected to be one of the Boston Marathon bombers has been pushed back by two months to January.

Judge George O'Toole granted Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's lawyers' request for more time but refused their pleas to move the trial from Boston to Washington.
Mr Tsarnaev, 21, has pleaded not guilty to 30 federal charges and could face the death penalty if convicted.
Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured by two explosions near the finish line in April 2013.
The defence team had asked for the trial to be delayed until at least September 2015, saying a November trial would not have given them enough time to prepare.
They also asked that the trial be moved due to the media coverage in Boston and the local public mood.
But the judge said there was no reason to assume in advance that a fair jury could not be selected in Massachusetts.
Tsarnaev is accused - along with his older brother Tamerlan - of placing two pressure cooker bombs near the marathon's finish line.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in an exchange of fire with police officers several days later.


A man who accidentally strangled a 16-year-old girl to death while pursuing a "sexual thrill" has been jailed for 12 years for her manslaughter.

James Morton, 24, enjoyed dominating women, having watched the behaviour in pornographic films and experimented with at least one ex-girlfriend.
He started to strangle Hannah Pearson - his friend's girlfriend - without any warning or permission, the judge said.
Her naked body was found in his bedroom in Newark, Nottinghamshire, last July.
A jury cleared him of murder but convicted him of her manslaughter.
In mitigation, his defence barrister Shaun Smith said Morton had been "pursuing his sexual thrill without having regard for the consequences of it".
Hannah's mother, Dawn Pearson, stood up at Nottingham Crown Court to read a statement describing the impact of the "horrifying act" on her family.
"A parent should not have to bury their own child, a child who has not even had a chance to live a life on her own," she said.
Mrs Pearson explained how Hannah had been given a "second chance at life", after recovering from anorexia.
"Hannah made many friends and lived her life to the full after being in hospital for so many years," she said.
"She had been given a whole new lease of life, a second chance at life, and she was making the most of it."
Hannah, from Marston in Lincolnshire, met Morton for the first time on 23 July 2016, the day of her death.
The trial heard that she went back to his parents' home in Pierson Street in Newark without her boyfriend, Jed Hope, because Mr Hope did not have enough money for the train.
Morton gave Hannah wine, port and beer, then put her in his bed at the end of the evening, the court heard.
Morton claimed that Hannah started kissing him, and Mrs Justice Carr said she could not be sure on the evidence that Hannah "did not instigate some sexual activity".
However, the judge said Hannah did not consent to being strangled.
"You enjoyed the domination, something which you had seen on a porn DVD previously, and also tried with at least one previous girlfriend," the judge said.
"I am sure, as the jury was, that Hannah did not give valid and informed consent to this escalated activity in the knowledge that it carried the risk of some bodily injury.
"She had never been involved in such activity before, was very intoxicated and, if not totally unconscious, then certainly confused and not thinking straight.
"She was in no position to object, trapped underneath you whilst you strangled her."
Morton phoned 999 after realising Hannah was not breathing, but it took him 20 minutes to do so.
The judge said he was "preoccupied" with his own "wellbeing and position" for at least some of this time, which was "a chilling aspect of the case".
However, she said he had "shown remorse which I accept is genuine".


Australia's first party representing Muslims intends to contest senate seats at the next federal election.

Launching the party in Sydney, founder Diaa Mohamed told Fairfax he wanted a louder voice for Muslims.
"There are a lot of parties out there to specifically oppose Islam and Muslims, yet Muslims don't have any official representation," he said.
Australia has a number of anti-Islam parties, including one backed by Dutch MP Geert Wilders.
Australia is not short of political parties. From today you can add another to the list: the Australian Muslim Party.
But its chances of winning a senate seat are slim. Even in the parliamentary constituency with the highest proportion of Muslims, just over 20% of people follow the Islamic faith.
"Anyone can set up a political party," ABC's political analyst Antony Green told me.
"It doesn't mean you're going to get elected and it's far from clear how much community support he (Mr Mohammed) has."

Mr Mohamed, a 34-year-old businessman, also defended launching the party immediately after terror attacks in Paris this week.
"There are going to be a lot of questions raised in the coming days of the events recently, and this is the whole reason we created this party," he told the ABC's AM program.
"So it is as good a time as any to launch it."
Mr Mohamed condemned the attacks in Paris and said Islam strictly forbade the killing of innocent people.
But he said his party would never support the invasion of a Muslim country in response to an incident such as the attacks in Paris.
"Let's look at how well that's worked in the past. We've invaded Afghanistan â€¦ we've invaded Iraq, and we're in the mess we're in right now," he said.
"So would I support something that's never worked in the past? No."


Hilary Mantel has won the Costa Book Award for her novel, Bring Up the Bodies.

The Booker Prize-winning novel about Henry VIII's adviser Thomas Cromwell beat four other books to win the prestigious prize, worth Â£30,000.
The judges said it was "head and shoulders" above the other contenders and was "quite simply the best book".
Dame Jenni Murray, who chaired the panel, said the judges had made a unanimous decision.
Responding to criticism about her book winning too many awards and stifling other talent, Mantel said she was "not going to apologise".
"I'm not sorry, I'm happy and I shall make it my business to try to write more books that will be worth more prizes," she said on stage.
Speaking to reporters afterwards, she said: "I was writing for many years and I was not among the prizes at all or I was the perpetual runner-up.
"Things have changed in a big way, I feel my luck has changed but of course that's not true.
"What's changed is what I'm working on, possibly a project that's played to my strengths and a project that came along just when I was ready for it".
Dame Jenni said the prize had been "very difficult" to judge because the shortlisted books spanned five very different categories - poetry, children's, biography, first novel and novel.
The judges' discussion, which lasted around an hour, had considered that Mantel had already won the Booker but ultimately disregarded it.
"We couldn't allow the number of times it has already been lauded to affect our decision," she said. "It was quite simply the best book.
"[Mantel's] prose is so poetic, it's so beautiful, it's so set in its time, so you know exactly where you are and who you are with.
"But it's also incredibly modern, her analysis of the politics is so modern and everybody found there were things that just stuck in their minds that they would think about for a very long time."
A comic-style graphic memoir about James Joyce's daughter by Mary and Bryan Talbot and Francesca Segal's debut novel The Innocents were also in the running.
Kathleen Jamie's poetry collection The Overhaul and children's book Maggot Moon by Sally Gardner completed the shortlist.
All five shortlisted writers received Â£5,000 each.
The judging panel included actress Jenny Agutter, broadcaster Katie Derham, author Wendy Holden and writer DJ Taylor.


Volkswagen has struck a deal with the US authorities over some 80,000 VW, Audi and Porsche cars with 3-litre diesel engines.

The agreement is another step towards allowing the German car maker to put the emissions cheating scandal behind it.
In June VW agreed to a $15bn (Â£12.1bn) settlement for another 475,000 vehicles affected by the scandal.
The new agreement will cost Volkswagen an estimated $1bn, US authorities said.
US District Judge Charles Breyer said owners of the 3-litre cars made between 2009 and 2016 would get "substantial compensation" for having them fixed or repaired.
However, there were some remaining issues to be resolved and another hearing will be held on Thursday, he said.
VW spokeswoman Jeannine Ginivan said the deal was "another important step forward in our efforts to make things right for our customers".
The firm admitted in September 2015 to installing secret software in 475,000 US 2-litre diesel cars to cheat exhaust emissions tests and make them appear cleaner in testing than they really were. They emitted up to 40 times the legally allowable pollution levels.
The $15bn settlement in June covered those vehicles, including an offer to buy them all back.
The US Justice Department said VW had agreed to contribute another $225m to a fund to offset excess diesel emissions.
In a separate filing, California's government said the company would increase the number of electric vehicles it sells in the state.
Robert Bosch, the German engineering firm that made the software for the VW diesels, has also agreed in principle to settle civil allegations at a cost of about $300m.


Manchester United have named Wayne Rooney as their new captain.

The England international, 28, replaces Nemanja Vidic, who has left the club for Inter Milan, while Darren Fletcher has been named as vice-captain.
Rooney will skipper United in the Premier League opener with Swansea at Old Trafford on 16 August.
"It is a huge honour and a role I will perform with great pride," said Rooney. "I am very grateful to the manager for the faith he has shown in me."
Rooney - confirmed as captain after the 2-1 friendly win over Valencia on Tuesday night - was one of the favourites for the job once Patrice Evra also asked to leave.
The former Everton man has skippered the Red Devils in the past. And while Louis van Gaal's close friendship with Robin van Persie led to suggestions United's boss would hand his fellow Dutchman the armband, Rooney's longevity - he joined for £27m in 2004 - made him a more obvious choice.
"For me it's always very important the choice of captain," said Van Gaal.
"Wayne has shown a great attitude towards everything he does. I have been very impressed by his professionalism and his attitude to training and to my philosophy.
"He is a great inspiration to the younger members of the team and I believe he will put his heart and soul into his captaincy role."
Prior to Vidic, Gary Neville had the job, which has been held by such notable United old boys as Sir Bobby Charlton, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona and Roy Keane.
Rooney has won five Premier League titles in his time at United, in addition to the Champions League in 2008. He currently stands third - behind Charlton and Denis Law - on the list of all-time top scorers at the club with 216.
Fletcher's appointment comes after his entire career was in doubt 18 months ago because of suffering from chronic bowel disease ulcerative colitis.
The Scot had surgery to have part of his bowel removed and only returned to action in December.
"It's a very proud moment for me and my family," said Fletcher, 30.
"Wayne and I have always worked well together and we will continue to work closely together in our new roles."


Pepsi outsold Diet Coke last year to become the second most popular carbonated drink in the US, as health-conscious consumers continued to shun products with artificial sweeteners.

Coca-Cola maintained the top-spot, but sales of its sugar-free alternative fell by 6.6%, according to new figures by trade publication Beverage Digest.
Diet Pepsi sales fell by more than 5%.
Nonetheless, both companies posted a modest increase in overall sales in 2014.
Once a common sight on dining tables across the country, fizzy drinks have fallen out of favour in the US over the past decade.
Low-calorie alternatives that replace sugar with sweeteners such as aspartame have also declined in popularity, due to concerns about the side-effects of their ingredients.
Consequently, sales of healthier alternatives have risen sharply. Bottled water flew off the shelves in 2014, boosting Nestle's sales by 9%.
Energy drinks and cold coffees also increased in popularity.
"There has been a tremendous migration to other categories in recent years," John Sicher, editor of Beverage Digest, told the BBC.
Concerns by some consumers about "obesity and health and wellness" have led to greater scrutiny of the ingredients used by big brands, he added.
The likes of Coca-Cola and Pepsi are now trying to get "calorie levels lower with the use of natural sweeteners".
Coke recently released Coca-Cola Life, which is made with stevia sweetener and has 27 calories per 100mL, compared with 42 for regular Coke.
The company's overall sales rose last year for the first time since 2000.
Despite the decline in fizzy drink sales, the overall refreshment beverage market in the US grew by 2.2% - the strongest rate for several years, according to New York's Beverage Marketing Corporation.
The consultancy added that the US drinks business was worth $160bn in 2014.


The Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh has banned female genital mutilation (FGM) saying it is not required in Islam.

The announcement at a rally was met with a huge applause, AFP reports.
Three-quarters of women in the mostly Muslim country have had the procedure, according to Unicef.
In the procedure's most severe form, after removing the sensitive clitoris, the genitals are cut and stitched closed so that the woman cannot have or enjoy sex.
FGM, also known as female circumcision, can be extremely painful, lead to tetanus, gangrene, HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C and effective sterilisation.
The president's announcement said the ban was effective immediately.
It is not clear when a law will be passed to allow the ban to be enforced.
•Clitoridectomy - partial or total removal of the clitoris
•Excision - removal of the clitoris and inner labia (lips), with or without the outer labia
•Infibulation - cutting, removing and sewing up the genitalia
•Any other type of intentional damage to the female genitalia (burning, scraping et cetera)
Anatomy of female genital mutilation


Paddy McBrearty hit 11 points as Donegal came from five down to beat Cork and set up an All-Ireland Football quarter-final against Dublin next week.

Cork's early running caused Donegal problems and the Rebels led by five on 17 minutes when Paul Kerrigan netted.
However, Donegal regrouped to lead within 15 minutes helped by McBrearty's stunning exhibition of scores.
Cork regained the lead by the break but Donegal's greater composure in the second period proved the difference.
Points from wing-backs Tom Clancy and Kevin O'Driscoll exemplified Cork's early vigour with only McBrearty's superb scoring keeping Donegal in touch as their defence looked decidedly shaky.
Cork were having little difficulty in punching holes in Donegal's defence and the inevitable goal arrived in the 17th minute as Kerrigan stepped inside Neil McGee and rifled to the root after being set up by Tomas Clancy.
To their credit, Donegal responded by hitting seven of the next eight scores in a 15-minute period with the McHugh cousins Eoin and Ryan, Michael Murphy and Karl Lacey finally getting in on the scoring act alongside the on-form McBrearty.
McBrearty was tormenting Eoin Cadogan from the off and it seemed strange that the Cork management opted some 28 minutes to make a switch as Tom Clancy was delegated to pick up the Kilcar man.
Points from Tom Clancy and Donnacha O'Connor helped Cork edge 1-9 to 0-11 ahead by the interval but there was the suspicion that the Rebels had let Donegal off the hook.
The two defences tightened up after half-time and the shackles contributed to a number of wides at both ends.
With Colm O'Neill and Paddy Kelly now introduced for Cork, the Rebels led by two after 50 minutes after successive points by Clancy and O'Neill.
However, a silly foul by Cadogan gifted McBrearty his ninth point and Eoin McHugh levelled proceedings in the 54th minute.
The remainder of the contest saw Cork struggling to breach Donegal's massed defence, with the Ulster champions breaking at pace to set up scores after the inevitable turnovers.
McBrearty's 11th and final point was arguably his best as he ran onto Murphy's quick free although he blotted his copy book in the closing seconds as he received a black card on top of his earlier yellow which meant Donegal ended the game with 14 players.
Donegal's defensive struggles for much of the contest means that few will give much chance of upsetting champions Dublin next weekend but that was also the case two years ago when Jim McGuinness masterminded a shock quarter-final triumph over the then All-Ireland holders.
Donegal: MA McGinley; P McGrath, N McGee, E McGee; R McHugh, K Lacey, F McGlynn; R Kavanagh, M McElhinney; A Thompson, O MacNiallais, E McHugh; P McBrearty, M Murphy, M O'Reilly.
Cork: R Price; C O'Driscoll, E Cadogan, S Cronin; T Clancy, T Clancy, K O'Driscoll; A O'Connor, I Maguire; P Kerrigan, D O'Connor, M Collins; S Powter, P Kelleher, M Hurley.

Although often seen as rivals in global politics, the US and France are working together to prevent parts of Africa from falling into the hands of al-Qaeda-linked fighters.

These Western countries - and their allies - want Africa to do more to promote stability so that extremists can be effectively denied room to operate.
The repeated need for Western intervention in African conflicts has raised questions about the continent's efforts to achieve stability.
''There is a sense of frustration," said Comfort Ero, Africa director at the International Crisis Group (ICG).
"Some African leaders would tell privately tell you that there is a sense of embarrassment.''
In Mali, the French militarily intervened in January to prevent militants from taking over the country.
Libya has descended into chaos and is now thought to be home to many radical Islamist groups.
Now, French intervention has also become necessary in the Central African Republic (CAR) following a takeover by mainly Muslim rebels which has led to clashes with the Christian community.
After years of talk about establishing a robust military force to intervene in African conflicts, lack of political will is holding back progress.
"Up to a certain extent, the Africans have become prisoners of their own rhetoric - [that] African problems need African solutions," said Roland Marchal, a senior research fellow specialising in Africa at Sciences-Po in Paris.
A number of African countries prefer interventions such as those seen in Mali and the CAR because they are a good way to get military funding, he added.
But Ms Ero cautions against any assumption that Africa must alone address crises that have international impact.
"While there is a desire and more willingness to see an African response, the continent still requires a significant amount of international assistance," she told the BBC.
She added that the challenge today is to provide a careful assessment of what the African Union can, realistically, achieve in trying to provide peace and security responses in the continent.
The US and France see some obligation in being part of the fight against terrorists in Africa.
After all, al-Qaeda attacked US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. Militants thought to be affiliated to al-Qaeda in West Africa continue to kidnap French nationals, and threaten French business interests in the region.
In February this year, the US deployed 100 troops to Niger to assist French forces in neighbouring Mali in their hunt for al-Qaeda-linked militants.
Their mission is to focus on "intelligence sharing", an official said.
According to media reports, the US now flies surveillance drones from Niger, tracking militants across a hostile desert region that is home to unstable states sharing porous borders.
Although their joint counter-insurgency operations with a number of African countries are seen as crucial, questions remain over the sustainability of international intervention.
In the absence of a robust African force, France has had to step in a number of times to intervene in local conflicts.
In situations where an African force has intervened, they have often faced financial bottlenecks.
In Somalia, an African Union (AU) mission - backed by the UN - has managed to beat back Islamist militant group al-Shabab. But the force's effectiveness is hindered by a lack of helicopters and other logistics.
Hawa Ahmad Youssof, a special representative at the AU, says there have always been attempts at the pan-African organisation to resolve "ourselves our problems".
"You know, it's not easy at all because our continent is always facing so many challenges," she said.
France's involvement in Africa - at least in former its colonies - is intimate, historical and almost sentimental, with its business and security interests at stake.
Despite reports that Paris is keen on pulling back from Africa and only focusing on intervention backed by UN resolutions, Mr Marchal doubts a major shift in relations.
"You can't erase your own history. There would be always be some specificities in the links between Africa and France," he told the BBC.
US officials are equally concerned to have a stable Africa in the fight against extremists.
"A safe, stable, and secure Africa is in our nation's enduring interest, as it is also key to the security and prosperity of the international community," Benjamin Benson, the chief media officer at the US Africa Command (Africom), told the BBC.
The main US mandate in Africa is to support nations so they can effectively fight militants.
US interests have been the subject of terror attacks in Africa, and Washington is not taking any chances.
"We cannot rely on short-cuts when confronting the terrorism challenge in Africaâ€¦ It is difficult work. Violent extremism requires more than just a security response," a state department official told the BBC.
At Africom, Mr Benson said al-Qaeda and its affiliates in Africa present the most immediate security challenge to US interests in the region, and countering this threat is a top priority.
However, Washington has had to deal with the frustration that no African country is willing - at least in public - to host its Africom infrastructure and personnel.
The result is that the US either engages individual countries in counter-terrorism efforts or under a UN banner. Washington also resorts to unilateral action, especially in Somalia.
After its intervention in Mali, France remains active in West Africa, partnering with the US and local armies to try to stop the Algeria-based al-Qaeda in Land of Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), from expanding.
From Djibouti, the US is flying armed drones from a former French base - now the main US military facility in Africa - to hunt down militants from Somalia's al-Qaeda affiliate, al-Shabab.
But even though Africa may be frustrated that it has not been able to find its own solutions, it has little option but to continue working with the West on counter-terrorism initiatives.
At least, not as long as local militant groups in Africa continue to seek ties with international jihad.


China has decided to end its decades-long one-child policy, the state-run Xinhua news agency reports.

Couples will now be allowed to have two children, it said, citing a statement from the Communist Party.
The controversial policy was introduced nationally in 1979, to slow the population growth rate.
It is estimated to have prevented about 400 million births. However concerns at China's ageing population led to pressure for change.
Couples who violated the one-child policy faced a variety of punishments, from fines and the loss of employment to forced abortions.
Over time, the policy has been relaxed in some provinces, as demographers and sociologists raised concerns about rising social costs and falling worker numbers.
The decision to allow families to have two children was designed "to improve the balanced development of population'' and to deal with an aging population, according to the statement from the Community Party's Central Committee carried by the official Xinhua News Agency (in Chinese) on Thursday.
Currently about 30% of China's population is over the age of 50. The total population of the country is around 1.36 billion.
The Communist Party began formally relaxing national rules two years ago, allowing couples in which at least one of the pair is an only child to have a second child.
China's one-child policy
What was China's one-child policy?
Trauma and sympathy shared online
Correspondents say that despite the relaxation of the rules, many couples may opt to only have one child, as one-child families have become the social norm.
Critics say that even a two-child policy will not boost the birth rate enough, the BBC's John Sudworth reports.
And for those women who want more than two children, nor will it end the state's insistence on the right to control their fertility, he adds.
"As long as the quotas and system of surveillance remains, women still do not enjoy reproductive rights," Maya Wang of Human Rights Watch told AFP.
I was born in 1979, the year the one-child policy was implemented. And even then, I wasn't supposed to be born.
In my parents' work unit, there were also quotas for babies. By the time my mother announced her pregnancy, the quotas were all used up for the year.
But kind-hearted officials decided to look the other way and allowed my birth. My would-be siblings were less lucky.
As a result of the policy, my mother had to endure two abortions. Even today, she talks about 'Number Two' and 'Number Three' and what they might have been like.

Carrie Gracie: U-turn may not bring prosperity
Writing in The Conversation, Stuart Gietel-Basten, associate professor of social policy at the University of Oxford, says the reform with do little to change China's population and is instead a "pragmatic response to an unpopular policy that made no sense".
The announcement in China came on the final day of a summit of the Communist Party's policy-making Central Committee, known as the fifth plenum.
The party also announced growth targets and its next five year plan.


Crawley Town came from 1-0 down to beat Luton Town and secure a third win in four League Two matches.

Cameron McGeehan had put Luton ahead with his seventh goal of the season, nodding Sean Long's cross past debutant goalkeeper Darryl Flahavan.
But the home side fought back with two goals in the final 23 minutes.
Rhys Murphy equalised for the hosts with a header from Gwion Edwards' cross, before Matt Harrold's low shot from 20 yards completed their comeback.
Crawley Town boss Mark Yates told BBC Surrey:
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We go a goal down but we showed great character to bounce back, and the second-half performance is how I want this team to play with some tempo, desire, some energy and good passages of football.
"I think you saw the best of Matt Harrold, and Rhys Murphy playing off him looked really sharp. We stuck at it and I felt we played some decent football.
"We started the season quite well and then we had a dip in the first international break and we talked about last week's international break and wanting to turn the corner and making it a positive one.
"We've had to come from behind twice at home in two games and we played how I want us to play in the second half."
Luton Town manager John Still told BBC Three Counties Radio:
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We said at half-time that we felt we were comfortable and their only way back in would be sloppy passing from us and giving away free-kicks. In the second half we did both.
"We've played six games. Won four and drawn one. Am I disappointed with that? No I'm not, but I'm disappointed with the game today.
"We have two home games now. It'll be good to get back home. We've been good away from home. I've got no issues with playing home or away but it'll be good to be back home."


A man died when he was struck by a lorry in an apparent hit-and-run crash in Greenwich.

The pedestrian, said by police to be in his 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene in Bugsby's Way at about 15:00 GMT.
Officers want to speak to the driver of a silver lorry that drove away following the incident.
The victim has not been formally identified, though his next of kin have been informed, police said.


A man who grew up in a refugee camp in Kenya has defeated a Somali minister to become a member of parliament.

Abdullahi Sheikh Abas, 31, was picked by an electoral college to be a federal MP.
He was up for election against Information Minister Mohammed Abdi Hassan.
Somalia has been holding indirect elections since October to renew its parliament as the country remains too dangerous for a national vote.
Much of the country is still under the control of Islamist militant group al-Shabab, which is affiliated to al-Qaeda.
Mr Abas grew up and was educated in Dadaab, the world's biggest refugee camp, in north-eastern Kenya.
In Somalia's long electoral process, 135 traditional clan elders selected some 14,000 delegates, who formed 275 electoral colleges.
From 23 October to 10 November, each electoral college voted for an MP to sit in the lower house of parliament.
The results are now being published and Mr Abas has been elected as federal MP for Kismayo in Somalia's Jubaland region.
It is  not clear how Mr Abas sold himself to the electoral college, but BBC Somali analyst Mohammed Abdinoor says Somalis who stayed at home have strong sympathy for returnees like Mr Abas, who grew up in refugee camps.
The newly elected MPs are due to choose a president by the end of November.


Work has begun on a new £10.5m whisky distillery in the centre of Glasgow.

The distillery will sit on the banks of the River Clyde at a former pump house between the Riverside Museum and the SSE Hydro Arena.
The multi-million pound development will have a visitor centre, cafe and gift shop.
The team behind the new Clydeside distillery said it hoped work would be completed and spirits would be "flowing" by the end of next year.
Owned by Morrison Glasgow Distillers, the distillery will offer guided tours, whisky tastings and an interactive whisky experience.
It is expected to attract 65,000 visitors per year and create up to 25 jobs when it opens next autumn.
The firm's chairman, Tim Morrison, owner of AD Rattray Scotch Whisky Company, said the firm's vision to build a distillery on the banks of the Clyde was "now set to become a reality."
"Work has started on site and our first batch of spirit should be flowing before the end of next year," he said.
"The city was once home to many whisky distilleries and we think the Clydeside Distillery will put Glasgow right back on the Scotch whisky map."


European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has caused quite a stir by recycling the idea of forming an EU army.

But rather than focusing my mind on external threats, his comments got me thinking about all the internal battles the EU is facing.
The notion behind a common foreign policy, never mind a joint military, is for the EU to speak with one forceful voice on the world stage.
But the 28-member bloc is currently a cacophony of fractious squabbling: over how to deal with Russia, how to battle illegal immigration, how to face off the prospect of deflation and of course, how to handle Greece... to cite just a few of the divisions.
Greece and its woes were at the top of the agenda at a meeting of eurozone finance ministers in Brussels on Monday.
Greece's outspoken finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, has just darkened storm clouds even further by threatening to hold a referendum if the Greek government's reform programme is now rejected.
Defence Minister Panos Kammenos went so far as to rage that Greece would then "flood" Europe with refugees, including potential Islamic State members.
President Juncker's Commission hasn't helped smooth the choppy EU waters much either.
While tiny Greece believes it's being sacrificed on the altar of the German austerity model, the EU Commission recently let influential EU members France and Italy off the hook again for not sticking to budget deficit rules.
Their finances cannot be compared directly to Greece, but the incident served to heighten tensions, a feeling of injustice and suspicions of divergent visions inside the EU.
Forming an EU army is not a new proposal. And every time it resurfaces, it is quashed almost immediately.
Note the swift rejection by the British government.
Perhaps, in making headlines with EU army talk, Mr Juncker is following in the time-honoured tradition favoured by world leaders of trying to divert attention abroad when all is not well at home.
It's an extremely useful tool.
President Francois Hollande, for example, has suffered the worst popularity ratings on record of any French leader.
He is well known for making big gestures on the world stage, such as recently standing alongside Germany to work out the Minsk ceasefire agreement on Ukraine with Russia.
However, speaking with one voice will never come easy to 28 very different nation states.


The number of people killed in fires in London has halved over the last five years.

Last year's figure was the lowest this millennium, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said.
The number of recorded fires has fallen to its lowest level in any one year since records began in 1966.
The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) said the figures could not be used as a justification for further cuts to services.
LFB said the reduction was mainly due to an increase in fire prevention work by officers.
Last year there were fewer than 20,000 fires and 30 people died, compared with 59 in 2010/11.
London Fire Commissioner Ron Dobson said: "Every fire death is a tragedy and we will never become complacent as so many could have been avoided and we will continue to target those most at risk to further reduce the impacts of fire in the capital."
LFB said the figures were the first to be released since the closure of 10 fire stations and the removal of 14 fire engines in January 2014.
Paul Embery, FBU regional secretary, said: "Fire cover should not follow the laws of supply and demand; it must instead be based on risk.
"Thousands of fires still break out in London every year, and it is crucial that there are sufficient resources to get to the scene quickly to save lives and protect property.
"Closing stations and slashing firefighter jobs makes it harder for us to do that."


LeBron James scored 32 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat defending champions Golden State Warriors 120-90 in the third game of the NBA Finals.

After heavy defeats in the opening two contests, the Cavaliers now trail 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
Kyrie Irving added 30 points for the home team, with Steph Curry only claiming 19 for Golden State.
"We weren't ready to play," said Warriors coach Steve Kerr. "They just punched us right in the mouth."
James added: "My team-mates got me going. They told me to be aggressive - and that's what I was."
Cleveland were beaten by Golden State in last year's Finals.
Game four is also in Cleveland on Friday.


The older brother of Canadian singer Celine Dion has died of cancer, two days after her husband also died.

Daniel Dion, 59, died on Saturday near Montreal, a statement by the singer's spokeswoman said.
Ms Dion's family paid tribute to the father-of-two, calling him "a gentle and reserved man of many talents".
Her husband and former manager, Rene Angelil, died on Thursday aged 73. His death in Las Vegas came after two bouts with throat cancer.
Daniel Dion was the eighth of 14 children, and performed with his siblings in their parents' piano bar in Quebec province.
He had been suffering cancer of the throat, tongue and brain, his sister Claudette told the Journal de Montreal newspaper (in French).
"He was ready, and isn't suffering any more," she said. "He was at peace."
The funeral of Mr Angelil, who helped to launch Celine Dion's career, will be held on Friday in the Notre Dame basilica in Montreal, where the couple married.
Dion recorded 25 studio albums and is the fifth-best-paid recording artist in the world, with a value of some $630m (Â£437m).
In 1999, her song My Heart Will Go On, from the soundtrack of the film Titanic, won two Grammy awards.


Parts of Scotland could offer the best views of the International Space Station (ISS) following UK astronaut Tim Peake's arrival on it, weather forecasters have said.

The station passes the UK twice on Tuesday, first late in the afternoon and then again in the evening.
BBC Weather said north west Scotland could potentially have skies clear enough to catch glimpses of it.
US space agency Nasa provides timings on when ISS comes into view from Earth.
The station appears as a bright star-like object.
On Tuesday, Mr Peake will head off on his six-month mission on-board the station.
He is set to launch aboard a Russian rocket with fellow crew members Tim Kopra and Yuri Malenchenko.


The World Championships medals that will be won in London this summer have been revealed, with a shape based on the curves of an athletics track.

Symbols of every event feature on the design, while the London skyline is included with Tower Bridge, the London Eye, the Shard and Big Ben.
The reverse features London Stadium, the championships' venue.
The event takes place from 4-13 August and there will be live coverage across the BBC.
Medals at July's World Para Athletics Championships, taking place from 14-23 July, will be similar, but feature distinctive disability sport equipment such as a prosthetic running leg and throwing chair.
Rather than engraving, the reverse will be inscribed with braille.
For the first time at the World Championships, 'coaches medals' will also be handed out to recognise those who prepare athletes.


In April 2014, the BBC's director general, Tony Hall, gave a speech in which he said English language television from and for Wales had been declining for almost a decade.

He called for a debate about how to address the "erosion" in programming.
So in the year since, how has the industry responded?
There were many thoughtful nods among the invited audience at the Pierhead building in Cardiff Bay as they listened to Lord Hall's speech.
His remarks about the health of English language broadcasting in Wales reinforced a view many present had come to accept.
But Lord Hall left little doubt that tight financial settlements had also contributed to the prioritising of news, current affairs and factual programming at BBC Wales over the more expensive options of drama, comedy and entertainment.
While his comments were directed at the broader TV industry in Wales, it was his own organisation which took much of the resulting scrutiny.
Despite an agreeable audience, the strength of his statement surprised many.
Wales-based network BBC TV dramas such as Doctor Who, Sherlock and Casualty have helped to boost the nation's reputation for programme-making.
But it was specifically programmes made in Wales that reflect Welsh life which Lord Hall felt had been eroded.
The independent television producer Angela Graham listened to the speech.
"Who could fail to be surprised when the director general of the BBC comes to Wales, a relatively rare event, and acknowledges an erosion in English language television over the last decade?
"It's surprising because an institution tends not to volunteer its weaknesses into the public domain.
"So the fact that the director general did focus on a weakness in the BBC's service for Wales was extremely significant. I would call it a game-changer."
Levels of English-language programming have fallen among all of the public service broadcasters. It is a decline that Ms Graham has observed first-hand.
"I take a particular interest in science documentaries, and whenever I ask anybody 'When did you last see a science documentary made in Wales that wasn't about the natural world?'
"I've never found anybody who could think of anything within the last 25 years, and I suspect the last 30 years. And that seems extraordinary.
"We have the Welsh government trying to encourage young people in Wales to take an interest in science, we have world class research happening in Wales, but the Welsh do not see themselves on television being scientists in the English language."
The director of BBC Wales, Rhodri Talfan Davies, accepts the deficiencies in his TV output.
"I think spending on English language television has fallen by 30 or 35% over the last seven or eight years, so Tony was identifying the consequences of that - which is that as you protect vital services like news, there is less money to go around for other areas of national life that might be captured through drama, comedy or entertainment."
Following Lord Hall's speech, I was asked by producers within the BBC and the independent sector whether the director general brought his cheque book to Cardiff.
But a continuing shortage of cash appears to be the main explanation for the decline in programming.
"The BBC has faced a 26% funding reduction in real terms over the last four years, there aren't magic pots of cash.
"But I think what Tony was saying was we need to think through how we want Wales to be best served by its public broadcasters over the years to come," said Mr Talfan Davies.
While the BBC has been the focus of much of the discussion since Tony Hall's visit, other public service broadcasters have also made changes, though not necessarily as a result of the director-general's intervention.
ITV Wales didn't want to be interviewed on the topic, but every week the channel broadcasts four hours of news programmes, and 90 minutes of non-news programmes for its Welsh audience.
While the quantity of programming is unlikely to increase, commissioners from the ITV network have begun holding regular meetings with the independent sector in the hope that the number of programmes that are made in Wales and shown on ITV across the UK can increase.
But ITV Wales's days of producing home-grown drama and comedy series appear to be consigned to history.
While it has recently broadcast new documentaries like The Mountain and My Grandfather Dylan, other genres of programming remain too costly for the broadcaster's Welsh channel to commission.
Content made in Wales, though not necessarily reflecting Welsh life, is set to increase on Channel 4.
As part of the renewal of its 10-year licence, the channel has committed to tripling its quota for programmes made outside England from 3% to 9% by 2020.
PAST AND PRESENT ITV WALES PROGRAMMES:
Wales This Week - long-running investigative series
Sharp End - political discussion and debate with Adrian Masters.
Nuts and Bolts - drama filmed in Merthyr and set in the fictional south Wales town of Ystrad, which ran for four series from 1999-2002.
Barry Welsh Is Coming - comedy sketch show starring John Sparkes which originally ran from 1996-2004.
Fishlock's Wales - one of a number of ITV Wales travel programmes presented by the veteran broadcaster Trevor Fishlock.
Some of the debate over programming for Welsh audiences has taken place publicly over the past year. The Institute of Welsh Affairs (IWA) held a media summit in Cardiff in December, where broadcasters and production companies gathered to discuss the issues facing the industry.
The organisation is now conducting a media audit which it hopes will identify the areas of Welsh life that are represented by broadcasters, as well as those that are not.
But another, greater discussion, is about to begin. After the general election in May the process of negotiating the BBC's Royal Charter will begin, with the conclusions set to confirm the 10-year priorities and funding for the BBC from 2017.
While the strength of Lord Hall's language last year took some in the industry by surprise, it was also a warning shot for the opinion formers and politicians sitting among the TV types in the audience.
He will expect them to lobby hard over the coming months, not least because the financial and editorial outcomes of the charter renewal process may help to determine whether the erosion of English language programming in Wales can be reversed.

About 400 retired firefighters in Wales are to receive thousands of pounds in compensation because their pensions were miscalculated.

Firefighters across the UK who retired between 2001 and 2006 received lower lump sums than they should have because of an error by the UK government.
The Treasury has given the Welsh government £5m to compensate those affected in Wales.
It follows a ruling by the Pensions Ombudsman in a test case in May.
Retired Strathclyde fireman William Milne received more than £30,000 after winning his claim against the UK Government Actuary's Department (GAD).
The Ombudsman ruled that firefighters and police officers who retired between December 2001 and November 2006 should receive a top-up to their lump sum, plus interest.
Thousands of police officers - including hundreds in Wales - are also affected.
As the fire service is devolved, the Welsh government is overseeing the compensation payments to retired Welsh firefighters.
The UK government is responsible for payments to retired police officers in England and Wales.
A Welsh government spokeswoman said: "The Treasury has provided the necessary funding so that we are not required to absorb the costs from our existing budgets.
"The Welsh government will provide grant payments totalling £5.24m to the three Welsh Fire and Rescue Authorities to cover payments owed to firefighters who retired between 2001 and 2006."


Two men have been placed under formal investigation over the murder of a priest in a Normandy church, including a cousin of one of the killers.

Farid K, 30, a cousin of attacker Abdel Malik Petitjean, was arrested on suspicion of "terrorist association".
The other man, Jean-Philippe Steven J, 20, was put under formal investigation for allegedly attempting to travel to Syria in June with Petitjean.
Petitjean and accomplice Adel Kermiche, both 19, were shot dead by police.
They had interrupted a church service in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, near Rouen, last Tuesday, taken hostages and slit the throat of Father Jacques Hamel, 86.

Kermiche 'was brainwashed'
The Paris prosecutor's office said both men arrested on Sunday were being held in custody.
The development came as Muslims across France attended Catholic Mass in a gesture of solidarity after the murder.
France's Muslim council, the CFCM, urged Muslims to show "solidarity and compassion" over the killing.
Petitjean had been on a watch list as a potential security threat since June after trying to enter Syria from Turkey.
Adel Kermiche was also known to the security services.
So-called Islamic State (IS) released a video of what it said were the two men pledging allegiance to the group.


Frank Lampard was jeered by his own fans as his New York City side were humiliated 7-0 by New York Red Bulls.

Substitute Lampard, 37, was making his first appearance of the season in the week it was revealed that he earns $6m (£4.1m) - more than the entire Red Bulls squad.
Patrick Vieira's City - who started with fellow big names Andrea Pirlo and David Villa - had 57.7% of possession.
Bradley Wright-Phillips scored twice for the Red Bulls.
The former Manchester City striker now has 50 goals in MLS - one fewer than Thierry Henry managed for the same club.
Red Bulls were already 5-0 up when ex-Chelsea and England midfielder Lampard, who had been out with a calf injury, replaced Pirlo with 15 minutes remaining.
The win equals the record for the biggest margin in MLS history.
Los Angeles Galaxy beat Dallas Burn 8-1 in 1998 while Chicago Fire beat Kansas City Wizards 7-0 in 2001.
Lampard, Pirlo and Villa are all in the league's top 10 earners, with Red Bulls' top earner Wright-Phillips in contrast set to make $650,000 (£448,000) this season.

Remote communities are not receiving the compensation they are entitled to from schemes designed to conserve tropical forests, a study suggests.

People who depend on being able to harvest forest resources should receive payment under the schemes.
But researchers say there is a "reality gap" between safeguards designed to help affected communities and who actually receives the compensation.
The findings have been published online in Global Environment Change.
"About 11% of global emissions come from deforestation and degradation of tropical forests so the idea is that if you can slow this down then that can offset emissions and that is good for climate mitigation," explained Julia Jones from Bangor University, Wales.
Over the past decade, schemes called Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (Redd/Redd+) have been developed as part of the global effort to mitigate climate change.
These mechanisms are designed to improve forest management and reduce the net emission of greenhouse gases in tropical forest and sub-tropical forest nations.
"It finally got approval (at the UN climate summit) in Paris in December that Redd+ will go ahead as a global climate mitigation mechanism," Prof Jones told BBC News.
"What that means in reality is more protected areas and more funding. This sounds brilliant, after all it is a win-win situation and what is there not to like about it?"
However, it has been widely acknowledged that such schemes - if not implemented properly - can have a significant negative impact on people's livelihoods, such as indigenous communities, and exacerbate poverty.
"This has been taken on board by, for example, the World Bank," observed Prof Jones.
"They have made commitments that anything they fund [and] people are displaced as a result, they must be compensated for it.
"These commitments are also encapsulated in other doctrines, such as the Convention on Biological Diversity."
But she added: "The problem is how do you go about doing that? The way that the World Bank guidelines work is that households affected by a scheme must be identified and then compensated for the negative impact of the establishment of a protected area on their livelihoods."
In order to test whether the commitment to "social safeguards" were working on the ground, the team of UK and Madagascan researchers looked in detail at an area within Madagascar where a new protected area was being established.
The work was being funded by the World Bank's Forest Carbon Partnership Facility.
"We have shown that, yes, they have gone out there and identified households that they think are affected negatively by conservation and have delivered compensation."
However, she added, the compensation was not reaching those most affected by the project.
"We have mapped every single household that should have been covered by the compensation and have shown thatâ€¦ the process had some very serious biases in it," she said.
"Essentially, the people that were identified were easier to reach physically - such as closer to the road or closer to the administrative centre.
"They also tended to be more socially connected; members of local forestry management committees, and they were - on average - richer or, at least, less poor."
Prof Jones said it was not what would be expected from a scheme that was delivering the help where it was needed most.
"People that are closer to the administrative centre are further away from the forest so they are less dependent on forest resources for their livelihoods," she suggested.
"What is interesting here is that the World Bank has very explicit guidelines that it has to be pro-poor and target vulnerable groups. We have shown that it is not working."
She said the study required researchers to spend a long time in the area in order to learn where all the households were located. In some cases, team members had to walk for eight or nine hours in order to reach some of the most remote communities.
"A criticism is that you can miss households like that if you come in for a short period of time but this is one of the problems;  you cannot expect consultants paid through a World Bank project to be putting in that level of effort to find individual households," she added.
"We do not want to be criticising the individual implementers of that particular project but we want to highlight a 'reality gap' between these lovely policies that sound great on paper and the reality on the ground which is that it is incredibly difficult to implement these policies."
Prof Jones said the study's aim was not to pass judgement on the projects nor the way the compensation scheme was implemented.
There is value pointing out that there is this reality gap," she added.
"In countries like Madagascar, there is such poor mapping so when you are planning something like this and you do not have a map that shows villages that have primary schools etc then you are not going to be allocating sufficient resources.
"I would say that whenever there is any sort of effort to implement a conservation scheme then there needs to be an effort to map the human population. Relying on very old and out-of-date maps is not sufficient."
The team suggested that providing compensation to all households in an affected area would prove to be more financially efficient, as the cost of providing the resources needed to map and assess households "may not be feasible".


This is possibly the only time of the year in India when over a billion people await an unusual bit of news with bated breath.

And so, this time the tidings are good and arrived over the weekend.
Monsoon hits Kerala, India ready to tap it , announced a relieved Business Standard on Saturday. The newspaper said the southwest monsoon, "the lifeline for millions of farmers across the country" had hit the southern state on its "usual onset date".
Even Bollywood's biggest star Amitabh Bachchan joined the celebrations.
"The monsoons have reached Kerala and the Lakshdweep islands... This is a good sign... A week later, traditionally, they should be over Mumbai... This is an indicator of a normal monsoon. We survive and depend on this rain phenomena and much of India's produce depends on its performance - the monsoons I mean," the actor wrote on his blog.
Monsoon rains are serious business in India.
Editorials are written on it, weather experts talk about it on prime time news television, and people send up prayers when it's delayed. Weather insurance policies with built in rainfall insurance are sold to farmers as a hedge against uncertain weather.
A good monsoon leads to bountiful crop which raises farm incomes, boosts rural consumption and drives the economy. A weak monsoon - and droughts, in extreme cases - hurts farm workers, raises food prices, encourages hoarders and generally creates havoc in the economy.
As early as in 1925, the Royal Commission On Agriculture In India described the Indian economy as a gamble on the monsoon.
Some three decades later, in 1953, the prestigious The Economic Weekly in a long editorial simply titled The Monsoon bemoaned the lack of proper meteorological tools to forecast monsoons and said: "Had the annual rainfall meant as much in the economic life of Europe as it does in this country, it is a permissible guess that some measure would have been found for it ere long".
More than half a century later, the Business Standard reported over the weekend: "The rains, from June to September, are vital for the 55% of farmland without irrigation in India, one of the world's largest producers and consumers of food."
Consider the facts and you realise why over a billion people are obsessed with monsoon rains.
India's farms are mainly rain-fed. The country receives 75% of its yearly rainfall between June and September. Some 70% of Indians depend directly or indirectly on farming.
Farming accounts for 14.5% of India's $1.83 trillion GDP, and though its share is declining, agriculture still accounts for a whopping 58% of the total employment in the country.
And then there's the spectre of drought.
Some 68% of India, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation, is prone to droughts in varying degrees - a third of this area is actually "chronically drought prone". Between 1801 and 2002, according to one estimate, India faced 42 severe droughts, many of them damaging crops and hurting growth.
To rely less on the vagaries of the monsoon rains, India, say experts, needs to develop varieties of rice, pulses and oilseeds which are drought resistant, evolve early drought warning systems and improve meteorological tools to provide sharper forecasts.
It also needs to ramp up its still scanty water conservation efforts. Too much water gets wasted. India also needs to manage its huge food stocks - over 60 million tonnes at the start of this year - much better. Too much food gets destroyed and damaged. That, many say, is a bigger tragedy than an imprecise monsoon forecast.


Wayne Rooney became Manchester United's all-time leading goalscorer with a sensational stoppage-time free-kick that rescued a point at Stoke.

Substitute Rooney curled in from the left-hand corner of the penalty box for his 250th United goal, one more than Sir Bobby Charlton.
Stoke looked set for a third straight Premier League win, clinging to a lead given to them when Juan Mata poked Erik Pieters' cross into his own net.
United wasted chances, hit the woodwork and were denied by Potters keeper Lee Grant.
But their 25th and final effort at goal preserved a 17-game unbeaten run, albeit if the dropped points mean they lose ground in the race for the top four.
They are three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal and 11 off leaders Chelsea, who both play on Sunday.
Rooney, so often the fulcrum of the United side since joining from Everton as an 18-year-old in 2004, has had to make do with a bit-part role under Jose Mourinho this season.
Indeed, this 546th appearance came from the bench, but still delivered a moment of history.
United had been frustrated for so long by Stoke's stoic defence and their own wastefulness, and a free-kick awarded just outside the home penalty area looked to be the visitors' last chance as five minutes of added time ticked down.
Rooney, largely ineffective since joining the action, looked prime to cross, but instead arced a wonderful, dipping, right-footed shot inside the far post past the previously unbeatable Grant.
The 31-year-old, who surpassed Charlton's England scoring record in 2015, beat the club mark that had stood since 1973 and gave United a point that looked to have gone.

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney: "It means a hell of a lot. It is a great honour and I am very proud. It is difficult at the minute to be over-pleased because of the result, but in the grand scheme it is huge honour.
"It is not something I expected when I joined. I am proud and I hope there is more to come.
"The players who have played for this club have been world class."

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho: "The record is the record. It is the record of the biggest club in England and one of the biggest in the world. Before him the record belonged to a legend of English football. Now Wayne becomes a legend of Manchester United."
Former record-holder Sir Bobby Charlton: "I would be lying to say that I'm not disappointed to have lost the record.
"However, I can honestly say that I'm delighted for Wayne. He deserves his place in the history books.
"He is a true great for club and country, and it is fitting that he is now the highest goalscorer for both United and England."
Former Manchester United boss Sis Alex Ferguson: "Wayne thoroughly deserves his place in the history books of this great club and I am sure that he will go on to score many more goals.
"Well done Wayne, I am absolutely delighted for you, you have been a great servant to this club and long may it continue."
Stoke City manager and former Manchester United striker Mark Hughes: "It is an outstanding record and won't be surpassed. It has taken 40-odd years for Sir Bobby's record to be broken which shows how high a mark it was."
Rooney's intervention was all the more dramatic given the struggles of his team-mates on a bitter afternoon in the Potteries.
United had almost all of the play - 65% of the possession, 25 efforts on goal to Stoke's six, almost a third of the game was played in City's defensive third - and yet the visitors could barely find a way through.
Soon after deflecting into his own net, Mata dinked over from close range with the goal at his mercy, while Grant made excellent saves from Marouane Fellaini and Paul Pogba.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was strangely subdued and on more than one occasion he opted to pass when an effort on goal looked the better option.
An isolated figure in the first half, the former Sweden forward gained more support in the second - Marcus Rashford providing pace and incision down the left, fellow substitute Jesse Lingard hitting the top of the crossbar.
It all looked to count for nothing until Rooney's late moment of magic gave the visitors a point they totally deserved.
Despite the desperate disappointment of seeing victory snatched away, Stoke can take encouragement from further evidence of continued improvement.
As recently as 31 December, a five-game winless run had them only seven points above the relegation zone, but they have since won two and drawn one.
Conceding 32 in their first 19 matches, they have shipped only two in the past three - and on Saturday keeper Grant's brilliance was matched by Bruno Martins Indi, who put in a colossal performance at the heart of defence.
Though attacks were largely limited to counters, Marko Arnautovic created problems down the left and Peter Crouch was a handful for the United defence, despite playing a lone hand up front.
A day that began with new signing Saido Berahino being paraded on the pitch ultimately ended with a sucker punch, but realistically Stoke should see this as point gained rather than two dropped.
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes: "We are disappointed but we need to pick ourselves up. We were within seconds of beating a very good Manchester United team.
"My only criticism to the guys is that we didn't keep the ball long enough. We are good enough to do that but we needed more care to get up the other end of the pitch.
"In the end we tried to protect what we had and I can't criticise what we did for the free kick."

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho: "It was a big game with two teams in the beginning trying to win. But after 25 minutes one team tried to win and the other tried to defend, which they did amazingly well.
"They showed great work-rate and did everything to try and stop us. We did everything well except in front of our target.
"We missed unbelievable chances. We hit the post, the keeper saves, we missed chances. The opposition goalkeepers are always amazing against us."

Pakistani social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch has been killed by her brother in an apparent 'honour killing' in the province of Punjab, police say.

Ms Baloch, 26, recently caused controversy by posting controversial pictures of herself on social media, including one alongside a Muslim cleric.
Police say she was strangled to death.
Cases of women being killed for 'dishonouring' their family are commonplace in Pakistan.
Qandeel Baloch became a household name for posting bold, sometimes raunchy, photographs, video and comments.
Ms Baloch's parents told The Express Tribune that she was strangled to death on Friday night following an argument with her brother.
They said her body was not discovered until Saturday morning. Her parents have been taken into custody, the Tribune reported.
Ms Baloch had gone to Punjab from Karachi because of the threat to her security, police say.
"[Her] brothers had asked her to quit modelling," family sources quoted by the Tribune said.
Sources quoted by the newspaper said that Wasim was upset about her uploading controversial pictures online and had threatened her about it.
Police said he had not been arrested and was on the run.
Ms Baloch's murder was condemned by filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, whose documentary A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness won an Oscar earlier this year.
"I really feel that no woman is safe in this country, until we start making examples of people, until we start sending men who kill women to jail, unless we literally say there will be no more killing and those who dare will spend the rest of their lives behind bars," she told the AFP news agency.
Qandeel Baloch used social media to find fame and the reactions there showed the feelings she inspired, from admiration to disgust.
Some called her death "good news" and even praised her suspected killer. Others said it was wrong to condone her murder, even if she was flawed. Some showed outright support.
Qandeel Baloch has been dubbed Pakistan's Kim Kardashian. There are comparisons: the provocative selfies, the pursuit of celebrity, the controversial rise to notoriety.
But in Pakistan, women, especially poor ones, still lack basic rights, from schooling to choosing a husband and violence against them is rife. The country struggles with sexuality and especially with "immodest" women.
The fact that many of Qandeel's videos went viral suggests a titillating fascination with confident female sexuality - along with fear of its power and of her assertion of independence. However she lived her life, tweeted one, it was her life.
Ms Baloch rose to fame in Pakistan in 2014 when a video of her pouting at the camera and asking "How em looking?" went viral.
In a recent interview she was bitterly critical of Pakistan's patriarchal society and described herself as a leading exponent of girl power.
While many younger people saw her as a cultural icon and hailed her liberal views, she was also subjected to frequent misogynist abuse online.
Her request for better security was ignored by the government, Dawn reported, despite pleas made three weeks ago to the interior minister and other senior officials.
Hundreds of women are murdered every year in Pakistan in so-called honour killing cases.


A Gwynedd bakery is creating 30 new jobs to meet demand for its cup and loaf cakes.

The Cake Crew at Bala's Enterprise Park is installing a £250,000 production line to increase capacity to 750,000 cakes a week.
October is expected to be the busiest month on record, the company said.
A spokesperson said: "We would like to thank the Bala workforce for its performance in gaining this additional business through consistent quality."
The bakery supplies the major supermarket chains.


Leigh cruised to a comfortable victory against Salford to lift themselves off the bottom of Super League in their last game before the Qualifiers.

Gregg McNally put Leigh in front early on before Atelea Vea crossed over soon after to extend their advantage.
The hosts went in at the break with an 18-0 lead after Samisoni Langi touched down just before half-time.
Josh Drinkwater scored a drop-goal in the second half before McNally raced the length of the field to score again.
Leigh's victory means Widnes Vikings finish bottom of the Super League at the end of the regular season.
A win for Salford would have ensured third place, which would have been their highest league placing for 40 years.
Instead they slipped to a fifth defeat in their final six games before the Super 8s/Qualifiers split and dropped a place to fourth by virtue of Hull FC beating Huddersfield on Friday.
Leigh coach Neil Jukes said:
"We ticked nearly every box tonight. It was a derby and we didn't want to finish bottom on our first season back in Super League.
"It was important for us to get some confidence and build momentum as we go into the next competition (Super 8 qualifiers). I was really pleased.
"Our game management was good as was our defensive effort plus we kicked the ball at the right time.
"We only gave away six penalties in the entire game so when you do that you have a lot of energy. The players kept turning up for each other and defended repeat sets on our line. It has given us something to build on."
Salford coach Ian Watson:
"People will lose their shirt on that performance today. It was disappointing. The first half we were way below the standards we have set ourselves physically.
"Leigh were dominant - their pack was on the front foot and their half-backs were able to control the game on the back of that."
"Our performances have dipped and there's been a drop in intensity since we secured a top-eight finish.
"What we need to do now is realise what we were doing before and rediscover the hunger and attitude we showed earlier in the season which was winning us games.
"For Leigh to score 18 points in that first half in those conditions put them on the front foot."
Leigh: McNally, Dawson, Crooks, Langi, Brown, Mortimer, Drinkwater, Hock, Higham, Maria, Paterson, Vea, Burr.
Replacements: Pelissier, Tickle, Richards, Hansen.
Salford: Evalds, Johnson, Welham, Sa'u, Bibby, Carney, Dobson, Griffin, Tomkins, Murray, Murdoch-Masila, Lannon, Hauraki.
Replacements: Jones, Lui, Krasniqi, Tasi.

Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw has told inspectors in England they can fail schools for allowing face veils.

Sir Michael says inspectors can rate schools inadequate if wearing Islamic face veils are a "barrier to learning".
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan has said such decisions about veils were up to the uniform policies of individual schools.
Sir Michael says he wants to give his "full backing" to heads wanting to impose a ban on face veils.
The Department for Education says it is "clearly right" that if veils are interfering with learning that Ofsted should take action.
The Muslim Council of Britain says Ofsted did not need to resort to the "megaphone of the media to show that it is flexing its muscles".
Head teachers' leaders say that inspectors should not be judging schools on dress codes.
The Ofsted chief said he was concerned that some heads were "coming under pressure" to relax a ban on face veils, either for staff or pupils.
"I want to assure these leaders that they can rely on my full backing for the stance they are taking," said Sir Michael.
He said that inspectors could downgrade schools, or rate them "inadequate", if they thought wearing a veil was damaging teaching.
"I have also made clear to my inspectors that where leaders are condoning the wearing of the face veil by staff members or by pupils, when this is clearly hindering communication and effective teaching, they should give consideration to judging the school as inadequate."
The Ofsted chief says he has written to all inspectors with this advice and says schools can be "marked down" if wearing the veil stands in the way of "positive social interaction".
Sir Michael said that discrimination "on the grounds of gender, has no place in our classrooms".
The Muslim Council of Britain called for "accommodation" over wearing the veil.
"It is a shame that the niqab - the full face veil that a minority of Muslim women wear - has become a polarising issue when it need not be."
Leora Cruddas of ASCL head teachers' union said Ofsted should not be judging schools on uniform policies. "Inspectors should focus on what schools achieve rather than what people wear."
Andrew Clapham, an academic in Nottingham Trent University's education department, said: "Ofsted's threat to penalise institutions where the Muslim veil is worn has no basis in research."
"There is no credible evidence base to suggest that wearing a piece of clothing on one's head has an impact on intellectual or academic ability."
Kevin Courtney of the National Union of Teachers criticised Ofsted for threatening schools. "Rather than assisting school leaders this will have the effect of alienating many staff and pupils."
A Department for Education spokesman said "we fully support" the statement from Sir Michael that head teachers who "restrict the wearing of the veil to support effective teaching and learning will receive Ofsted's backing".
"It is also clearly right that if the wearing of the veil is interfering with education in schools that should trigger action from Ofsted."


At least six high-ranking Pakistani army officers, including a lieutenant-general and major-general, have been sacked amid corruption allegations.

The unprecedented move comes two days after the head of the army, Gen Raheel Sharif, said corruption had to be uprooted to fight terrorism.
An initial army statement that said 11 officers had been dismissed has now been retracted.
Details of the allegations against the officers were not immediately released.
Observers say the timing of the announcement and the remarks by Gen Sharif are designed to put pressure on the government.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is still dealing with controversy at home after details of his family's offshore assets were revealed in the so-called Panama Papers.
Military officials insist that accountability within the forces is an ongoing process, though often kept secret for reasons of morale. But this time there has been what looks like a deliberate leak.
It is not known when the officers were sacked, but the disclosure has come at a time when Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is battling a crisis of legitimacy after the Panama Papers leaks revealed that his family held foreign assets in the names of offshore companies.
The timing of the disclosure is significant. It will not only increase pressure on Mr Sharif, but also deflect muted but growing references to corruption within the military, which many believe runs deeper than it seems.
They say that while the military's internal systems work as a well-oiled machine, audit rules often crumble when it comes to the accounting of procurement and supplies. There have also been long-standing allegations that senior officials controlling border posts have been protecting smugglers.
And questions have been raised over the use of unaudited funds that until recently flowed to various militant networks through military agencies, though the agencies have often denied such a role.


The SNP has held a South Ayrshire Council ward following a by-election which was called after the previous incumbent was elected as an MP.

The SNP's John Wallace won the Ayr East ward after the vote on Thursday.
Turnout for the by-election was 34.4%, with 4,006 votes cast out of an electorate of 11,638.
The by-election was called following the resignation of Corri Wilson, who was elected as SNP MP for Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock earlier this year.
