The clock is ticking for Eriksson

Sven Goran Eriksson spoke like a man on borrowed time after his Mexico team lost 2-0 to the United States in a World Cup qualifier in Columbus.

Sven Goran Eriksson spoke like a man on borrowed time after his Mexico team lost 2-0 to the United States in a World Cup qualifier in Columbus. The Swede was under pressure before the game in Ohio after his first five matches in charge yielded only one win. The latest loss will have done little to enhance his job prospects. Michael Bradley, the Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder, did the damage with two goals either side of Rafael Marquez receiving a red card for a reckless challenge on keeper Tim Howard.

Afterwards, Eriksson, who has been linked with the vacancy at English Premier League strugglers Portsmouth, conceded the heat was now on. "Football is a big sport and, face it, sometimes it's not a friend of patience. But I'm optimistic because I think we have a good team. "We have to score goals - that's our biggest problem. It's difficult when it's 10 on 11, but I think our team showed a lot of character. And that's good for the future."

'The worst thing you can eat'

Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.

Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines: 

Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.

Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.

Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.

Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.

Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
