They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case. "The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the courthouse," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide." Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial. In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials. But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts. Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that <t>claim</t>.

**Deconstructing the "Claim" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "claim," and the context is "Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that claim." My initial thought was to look for the referent, which is the argument that social and technological changes require adaptation by the courts, but then I went back and re-read the relevant sentence for clarity. The original text said "But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts. Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that claim."

Hmm... looking back at that, the earlier statement of "instant news was more incendiary..." is also a potential point of reference. I need to be precise. Let's delve into definitions. Ah, yes, sense 2: "an assertion that something is true or factual." This feels spot-on: "the claim that instant news was more incendiary..." fits perfectly. "Pressing that claim" refers back to this specific argument or assertion.

Just to be thorough, I should rule out other possibilities. Could "claim" be interpreted as an assertion of a right? No, not in this context. They're pressing an argument, a legal or factual assertion. It’s an argument that social and technological changes demand adaptation, which could also be the point of the statement regarding instant news. So, sense 2—"argument / assertion that something is true"—is the best match. This is really quite straightforward, now.

**Analyzing the Context of a Legal Filing**

Okay, so I'm looking at this text, and my mind immediately hones in on the core issue: lawyers are submitting something – a legal document, specifically. The key phrase "In their filing" really jumps out at me. I'm focusing on the *act* of submitting a formal legal document to a court or other official body.

I’m picking up on a few potential nuances, though. I can almost *feel* the physical process, like a fragment being rubbed off by a file. I have the sense of using a file, a methodical process of organizing and preserving documents. But, while those are present, they are secondary. They aren't the primary focus here.

My expert intuition, grounded in years of experience, is telling me that the most relevant element, the thing to which I should give priority, is the first sense: the *entering* of a legal document into the public record. That action, the formal submission, is the defining feature of this context. The reference to the Supreme Court decision supports this and indicates that this filing is a legal maneuver related to established law. This is the crucial aspect to unpack and delve deeper into.

**Analyzing the Context of a Supreme Court Appeal**

Okay, so I'm looking at this appeal, and it's referencing the "Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction." Right away, my mind goes to *Sheppard v. Maxwell*. That's the landmark case, and it was a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. No ambiguity there. Therefore, "Supreme Court" is clearly referring to the highest federal court in the United States. It can't be anything else, given the case citation.

Now, if I had to define candidates, just to make sure I was being thorough, Candidate 1 would undoubtedly be the US Supreme Court. That's the only logical interpretation in this context. And for the sake of completeness, let's say Candidate 2 would be a state supreme court. But really, it's a no-brainer. Sense 1 is definitively the one we're after. This is straightforward; we can proceed with confidence.

Here's my thought process, distilled:

**Analyzing "Decision" in the Supreme Court Context**

Okay, the target word is "decision" and we're talking about the Supreme Court's 1966 ruling on the Sheppard case. Let's break down the possible meanings. *Hmm*, let's see. There's the act of deciding (sense 1), then there's the outcome, the judgment itself (sense 2). We also have boxing victory (sense 3), game outcome (sense 4), and resoluteness (sense 5), which are clearly not applicable here.

*Right*, this is a judicial context. Sense 2 - "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" - *that's* the one! It fits perfectly. Let me just confirm... *Yes*, the example "a decision unfavorable to the opposition" clearly illustrates the kind of legal judgment we're talking about. The sentence explicitly references *the decision itself* ("overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction"), which is the *judgment*. Sense 2, therefore, is the most accurate definition in this case. Sense 1 is the act of deciding and thus it's clearly not what the sentence is referring to.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Conviction" in a Legal Context**

Okay, the target word is "conviction," and we're dealing with a Supreme Court overturning something. The context screams "law." Let's break down the likely senses here. First, there's the more general definition, the "unshakable belief" kind of conviction. Interesting, but doesn't quite fit. Then there's the legal definition: a "final judgment of guilty" in a criminal case. Bingo! That's the one. Given that the Supreme Court's involved and we're talking about overturning something, it's undeniably the legal sense we're after. No contest. That definition perfectly aligns with the scenario of a trial and a judgment being reversed. Moving on.

Okay, so the word I need to understand is "trial," specifically in relation to overturning a conviction based on "trial coverage." Right away, I'm thinking legal proceedings – courts, lawyers, jury, a conviction, all of those terms are flashing in my mind. This strongly suggests a legal context. Let's see... looking at the senses, I'm going to scan quickly to see if any jump out at me. Ah, here it is: Sense 4: (law) the determination of a person's innocence or guilt by due process of law. Boom. That's it! That definition nails the context perfectly. It's the core legal process, the determination of guilt or innocence, that's being described and that's the "trial" in question. This feels like a very straightforward application of the definition.

**Analyzing "Coverage" in the Media Landscape**

Okay, so I'm looking at "coverage," specifically in relation to "trial coverage" and "Twitter coverage"—got it. Immediately, I'm zeroing in on the nuances of this word. Let's see...I need the meaning that applies to reporters and the media. Ah, here we are: Sense 3. "The news as presented by reporters for newspapers, radio, or television" – that's it! "Reporting," "reportage"— those synonyms seal the deal.

This definition totally clicks with the cues I'm seeing: "media tweets, cameras, and reporters," "instant news," all that speaks directly to this meaning. I quickly dismissed Sense 1, insurance, and Sense 2, the extent of covering a topic in a reference work, because that's not what we're talking about here. Sense 3 is the only one that truly fits this context. Absolutely. That's the correct interpretation of "coverage" in these instances.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Rules" in a Legal Context**

Okay, the target word is "rules," and the context is about new media requiring "new rules," specifically regarding court policy for future trials. My initial thought is that this refers to a prescribed guide for conduct, a regulation governing behavior – that's the obvious legal interpretation.

Let's dive into WordNet. Looking at the candidates, "regulation" (rule%1:09:00::) and "prescript" (rule%1:10:00::) immediately stand out. "Regulation" has that example about custom, like taking a walk before breakfast or short haircuts being *the* regulation; that feels less precise in this legal framing.

Then I examined "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (rule%1:10:00::). That definitely seems more relevant. Court rules *are* typically prescribed guides for conduct, especially when dealing with media coverage.

However, I paused. Thinking about "court rules" as a phrase, I searched WordNet. "Rule of evidence," "rule of law" are under "concept". Ultimately, I think sense 3 (rule%1:10:00::), "prescript" makes the most sense because it fits the context, being a "prescribed guide for conduct." That is, rules governing media coverage.

Actually, sense 3, "regulation" (rule%1:10:00::) has hyponyms like "rule of evidence", "Miranda rule", "gag rule", "ground rule". Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit for legal rules or guidelines for conduct.

**My Analysis of "Case" in This Legal Context**

Okay, so I'm diving into this legal context – we're dealing with "court policy governing coverage of future trials," "appeals courts," and lawyers actively pursuing a claim, even referencing the Supreme Court's *Sheppard v. Maxwell* decision from 1966. The author specifically labels "this case" as the 21st-century equivalent.

Naturally, the term "case" is the key here. Given the legal framework, I need to pinpoint the precise meaning the author intends. The suggested definition— "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy"—hits the mark perfectly. It encapsulates a lawsuit or legal proceeding, which aligns flawlessly with the surrounding language about filing, coverage, and appeals. The synonyms provided (lawsuit, suit, cause, causa) further solidify the meaning. I am confident that the author is using "case" in its most appropriate legal sense.

Target lemma: century
Target surface form: century
Context:
Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial. In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials. But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts. Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that claim. In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules. "This case," they wrote, "represents the Sheppard v. Maxwell of the 21st <t>century</t>."

**Analyzing the Target Word "Century"**

Okay, the target word here is "century," and the context is pretty straightforward: "This case," they wrote, "represents the *Sheppard v. Maxwell* of the 21st century." My initial task is to pin down the correct sense of "century" given this usage. No problem.

I immediately identify two possible candidates: "a period of 100 years" and "ten 10s". The key here is the contextual reference to the "21st century". Thinking about this, the "21st century" clearly refers to a specific *time period* - a span of time consisting of 100 years. The 'ten 10s' definition is not relevant in this context. Therefore, "a period of 100 years" is the correct interpretation.

**My Analysis of "Fraud" in Sports Law**

Okay, so the prompt gives me "fraud" within the context of "Sport and fraud law." Right away, I'm thinking about the different senses of that word. We have a few to choose from: intentional deception causing harm, the person *committing* that deception, and the deceptive act itself.

Given my understanding of legal terminology, particularly in this area, the most relevant sense is definitely the first one: "intentional deception resulting in injury to another person." That hits the nail on the head as the *legal* definition of fraud, and I recognize it as the crime or tort of fraud we'd be addressing. While sense 3, "something intended to deceive," could be a component, it's sense 1 that really nails it in a legal setting. So, I'm going to work with sense 1.

**My Interpretation of "Law" in "Sport and Fraud Law"**

Okay, so the target word is "law," and the context is "Sport and fraud law." My initial thought is about the general rules governing an activity, or perhaps the legal profession itself. But, wait, in this context, "law" is more specific – it's *fraud law*, which is a type of law like criminal or civil law.

Now, looking at the senses, Sense 1, "the collection of rules imposed by authority" (jurisprudence), seems like a good fit. Then again, Sense 2, "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity," is also plausible; perhaps the rules regarding fraud in sport. But, no, when we say "fraud law," we're generally referring to the set of rules or jurisprudence surrounding it. Specific areas like "criminal law," "tax law," and "fraud law" are, in my experience, understood as a collection of rules (Sense 1).

Hold on, could Sense 2 be like "a law against..."? But, "fraud law" is usually the collection of rules imposed by authority (Sense 1), or a branch of law itself.

So, let's look at "Sport and fraud law." This is a specific *area* of law. Considering the choices, Sense 1 makes the most sense. Wait, could it be Sense 6, "the learned profession"? No.

Sense 1 again: "the collection of rules imposed by authority" (civilization presupposes respect for the law).

Actually, could it be Sense 2? "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity" - no, fraud law isn't a single document.

Therefore, I'm choosing Sense 1.

**Analyzing "Tricks" in the Context of Football Ethics**

Okay, so the target is "Tricks" within this football-related sentence, specifically referencing Alonso and Ramos's actions against Ajax. My initial instinct, given my understanding of the legal and ethical nuances of the sport, is to pinpoint the exact nature of those "tricks." The core of it, from what I gather, seems to be a deliberate, potentially rule-bending maneuver.

Candidate 1, "a cunning or deceitful action or device," immediately resonates. It captures the essence of what these players were likely attempting: to manipulate the system for their benefit. It's a calculated move. While "fast one" is listed as a synonym, I'll need a better understanding of the nuance to accept it.

Candidate 3, "an attempt to get you to do something foolish or imprudent," could *potentially* apply, but it feels less direct. It doesn't quite get at the core of deliberate manipulation that I'm seeing here. This would suggest that their actions were calculated to influence an outcome and not just a "foolish" action.

Candidate 4, "a ludicrous or grotesque act done for fun and amusement," is definitely off the mark. This is not playful, this is about achieving an advantage through a potentially exploitative act. This definition does not fit the context at all.

Therefore, Candidate 1 wins. The most accurate descriptor aligns with a deceitful action. The goal here would be to engineer a strategic advantage.

**Analyzing the Semantics of "Will"**

Okay, so I'm presented with the phrase "the will to get rid of a sanction." My task is to determine the intended meaning of "will" in this specific context. Let's break this down. My mind immediately sifts through the typical senses of the word. I quickly consider:

1.  *Volition*: the capability of conscious choice or free will. Could this apply? Hmm, not quite. While "will" does imply a decision, it feels too general here.

2.  *Fixed and persistent intent or purpose*: This one is promising. The phrase "where there's a will, there's a way" comes to mind. This sense of "will" implies a strong determination, a driving force. The phrase "the will to get *rid* of a sanction" definitely feels like it captures this sense perfectly.

3. *Legal Document (testament)*: This seems completely irrelevant in this context of sanction-removal.

Therefore, my best analysis is that in "the will to get rid of a sanction", the intended meaning clearly aligns with a sense of **fixed and persistent intent or purpose**. It describes a strong resolve or determination to achieve a specific outcome, in this case, the removal of the sanction.

**Analyzing "Expulsion" in a Sporting Context**

Okay, so the word is "expulsion," and we're talking about sports, specifically a red card situation with Real Madrid players. The immediate implication is being removed from the game, essentially ejected. Let's break down the possible meanings.

My mind immediately jumps to a definition like "forcing someone out" – that's the core idea. I see it as akin to ejection, exclusion, or riddance. Think of expelling troublemakers or, more relevantly, a student's expulsion from school. That feels right, that's Sense 1, the act of forcing someone out.

I quickly check myself, making sure I'm not missing something. Sense 2, "squeezing out by pressure" (extrusion), doesn't quite fit. And then Sense 3, "the act of expelling, projecting, or ejecting," gets my attention. It's similar to Sense 1, but perhaps more general. The examples for Sense 1: "the child's expulsion from school" seems far more pertinent.

Ultimately, given the specific context of a player being removed from a football match due to a second yellow card, it all clearly points towards Sense 1: the deliberate act of forcing the player out. It's a clear-cut case of the player being ejected and forced from the field of play.

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "players," and we're firmly rooted in the world of sports, specifically football, given the examples provided – Real Madrid, Ajax, the Champions League, even the referee and yellow cards. That context is key.

My initial thought is to run through the possible definitions. Sense 1, "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game," feels spot-on. "Participant" is a great synonym, immediately resonating with the context of a match. We can discard the other meanings as these are not relevant. This aligns perfectly with the examples. This isn't about musicians, actors, playboys, or business magnates. This is about athletes competing on the pitch. Sense 1 is the obvious and correct choice. Simple.

**Analyzing "Game" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "game," and the context mentions a Real Madrid match against Ajax on November 23rd in the Champions League. My initial thought is to zero in on the definitions that are most relevant to a specific sporting event.

Candidate 1 is "a contest with rules to determine a winner," and Candidate 2 is "a single play of a sport or other contest." Considering the phrase "the game played on the 23rd of November," Candidate 2 immediately feels like the better fit. We're talking about a *specific* match, a *single instance* of a sport being played, rather than the general concept of playing a sport.

To solidify this, I'm checking WordNet. The example "the game lasted two hours" is exactly the kind of phrasing that screams "specific instance." Given the context and the potential ambiguities, the meaning is definitely not the general term. Therefore, I'm selecting Candidate 2.

**Analyzing the Metaphorical "Ink"**

Okay, so the key word here is "ink," specifically within the phrase "caused rivers of ink to be written." My immediate understanding, as someone with a deep understanding of language and rhetoric, is that "ink" here isn't the literal substance, but a metaphor. It's representing the sheer volume of written material that resulted from something. I need to clarify that this is the intended interpretation, so I'm quickly filtering through the possible senses.

My mental catalog brings up at least two definitions: first, the straightforward "a liquid used for printing or writing or drawing." That aligns perfectly with the metaphorical meaning. Second, there's the more specialized definition of "dark protective fluid ejected into the water by cuttlefish," which is clearly irrelevant here. Therefore, I can confidently dismiss the second sense and confirm that sense 1, the writing fluid itself, is the correct and intended interpretation within this phrase. This demonstrates the power of metaphor to convey scale and prolificacy.

**Analyzing "Behavior" in the Context of Unsportsmanlike Conduct**

Okay, so the word I'm working with is "behavior," and the specific scenario is football players intentionally wasting time for a yellow card – clearly unsportsmanlike. Let's break this down from a semantic perspective.

First, I need to consider all possible meanings. I've got:

1.  Manner of acting/self-control (doings, conduct)
2.  Action/reaction of something (machine/substance)
3.  Interpersonal demeanor (demeanor, deportment)
4.  (Psychology) Aggregate of responses...

Now, the context is the *players' actions* during the game, their "doings," their "conduct." The second definition doesn't fit at all, so that's out. Sense three sounds more interpersonal which doesn't sit well, so that's probably incorrect. Sense four is a psychology definition, and seems far more expansive than the scenario in the football game. That makes definition one the most relevant: "Manner of acting or controlling yourself".

I'm zeroing in on Sense 1. This specific act is about *how* the players are acting and controlling themselves. It's about their conduct on the field. That feels right. Let me just quickly confirm that the synonyms back this up. Yes, "conduct" aligns with both Sense 1 and Sense 3. However, "unsportsmanlike conduct" leans more toward "manner of acting". So, "manner of acting or controlling yourself," that's definitely Sense 1.

Perfect. "Unsportsmanlike conduct" is a form of **behavior%1:04:00::**. Sense 1 it is.

**Analyzing the Target Word: "Players"**

Okay, let's break this down. The target word is "players," and we're talking about a Real Madrid versus Ajax Champions League match. Immediately, my mind jumps to the relevant sense: the context is unmistakably sports. We have Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos, both football (soccer) players.

Now, let's quickly run through the possible senses to confirm the best fit. I've got:

*   **Sense 1:** "A person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - Bingo! That's precisely what we're dealing with here, footballers actively *playing* in a match.
*   **Sense 2:** A musician – Nope, not applicable.
*   **Sense 3:** An actor – Definitely not relevant.
*   **Sense 4:** A playboy – No, not the right connotation, and irrelevant to the context.
*   **Sense 5:** An important participant in a deal – This is also not what is being described.

Therefore, sense 1 is unequivocally the right interpretation. We're talking about individuals engaging in athletic competition, which leaves no room for other interpretations.

**Deconstructing "A Few Minutes Before the End"**

Okay, so the prompt gives us the phrase "a few minutes before the end of the game." My initial thought is to zero in on the word "minutes." As a field expert, I understand that "minutes" immediately presents a dual interpretation. On one hand, it's the fundamental unit of time, precisely 60 seconds. However, the phrase is situated within the context of a sporting event, specifically a Real Madrid versus Ajax soccer match, which brings a specific connotation. "A few minutes" might seem vague and indefinite initially but in the context of the game's remaining duration, it takes on a very concrete meaning. A soccer match is a well-defined 90 minutes. Therefore, "a few minutes before the end" is referencing the *literal* units of time remaining in the game. With that in mind, I need to use the first sense of "minutes," which is the unit of time equal to 60 seconds.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "End" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "end," and it's used in the phrase "a few minutes before the end of the game." My first thought is to nail down the precise meaning. Let's consider a couple of senses I have in mind. I need to make sure I am on the right track!

Sense 2: This seems to mean the specific *point in time* when something concludes – like "the end of the year" or the "ending of a warranty." Then, we have:

Sense 3: This captures the *concluding parts* or the final stage of an event. Examples are "the end was exciting" or "I missed the last of the movie".

Now, let's circle back to "a few minutes before the end of the game." This is about the *concluding time* of the game, right? It could fit either of those, so I must choose the best one.

Sense 2 seems to be winning the argument, because it describes a *point in time*. "A few minutes before *that* point in time..." works seamlessly. Then again, "the end of the game" *could* be the concluding part of an event, which would be Sense 3. It's an event. But let's check.

"The end of the year" (Sense 2) is a *temporal period.* It helps to see if "end of the game" will act like this.

Okay, let's drill down even further with "a few minutes before the end of the game." The word "end" represents a *specific time* in this case. It's a point.

Sense 3, about the "concluding parts of an event," feels a bit clunky here. "The end was exciting" is an example. But "minutes before the end" implies that *point*.

In conclusion, "the end of the game" is usually mapped to the *point in time* when it finishes. Sense 2 is the best fit. I'll choose Sense 2.

**Analyzing the Use of "Game" in a Football Context**

Okay, so we're talking about a Real Madrid vs. Ajax match in the Champions League – that's the context. The task is to figure out the intended meaning of "game" in this specific instance. Let's see... the phrase is "a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won)", and it's referring to the football match.

My initial thought is that "game" likely aligns with Sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest." That feels right given it refers to a particular match. But, I should verify...

Let's break down each sense: Sense 1 is "a contest with rules to determine a winner." Examples could be bridge, or Monopoly – the *type* of game. However, Sense 2, "a single play of a sport or other contest" with an example like "the game lasted two hours", that absolutely describes a football match. Sense 2 describes the instance of the sport as being played!

So, yes, a football match, specifically the Real Madrid vs. Ajax match, is best described by Sense 2. It's the instance, the *single play* of the sport. We're talking about a specific instance of playing the game, which is the match. Therefore, Sense 2 it is.

Well, that's pretty straightforward. Obviously, sense 2 is completely irrelevant here. We're talking about Real Madrid, not a plow team!

The context really simplifies the task. No ambiguity here.

**Analyzing the Ambiguity of "Players" in the Game Context**

Okay, so we have this context – football, specifically a Real Madrid vs. Ajax match within a UEFA framework, and the mention of a yellow card. The word I'm focusing on is "players," and my task is to disambiguate its meaning in this specific scenario. Clearly, the primary meaning here is sense 1: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - a participant. Considering the named individuals, Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos, are both well-known figures in the football world, the context of a game (and a card issued *during* that game), solidly supports the game participant definition.

Let's quickly run through other senses just to be thorough, given the potential for unexpected ambiguity. Sense 2, musician, is an immediate non-starter. Sense 3, actor, also feels out of place – even figurative "playing" a role wouldn't really fit the core intent. And Sense 4, sexual partner, is completely off the mark in this sports context. Lastly, while "players" *could* metaphorically extend to influential figures in a business, it doesn't make logical sense when used in a direct reference to a sports game, and doesn't serve to relate the context.

Therefore, the obvious and correct sense is Sense 1, and there is no meaningful ambiguity when viewing it from a football/soccer perspective.

**Analyzing "Wasted Time" in a Sports Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "time," specifically in the phrase "wasted time" within the context of a sports game. My initial thought process immediately jumps to evaluating the possible meanings, the different "senses" of the word, as it were.

We've got a range of options, from a singular *occasion* to the *continuum of experience* itself. We have to be specific here and eliminate the irrelevant. Clock time, an indefinite period, a prison term - not likely. The phrase 'suitable moment' is not accurate here.

The key here is resource management. "Wasted time" strongly implies time as something we're *using* in a sports game. It's a resource, a finite amount available for a specific purpose - like scoring points or not being scored on! The sense that nails it? Sense 2: a period of time considered as a resource under our control, available to accomplish something. That makes perfect sense; the phrase 'wasted time' fits perfectly into that sense. Bingo.

**Analyzing the "Referee" Context**

Okay, so the word is "referee," and the situation is Real Madrid versus Ajax in the Champions League. We're talking football (soccer), which immediately steers me toward the sporting context. Let's see...

I have three possible senses to consider: the chief official in a sport, a manuscript reviewer, or a court-appointed attorney. Right away, the football context practically screams out the first sense—the "chief official who ensures fair play," also known as a "ref." Yellow cards being shown is a dead giveaway that we're dealing with a sporting context. So, senses two and three are definitely irrelevant here. We're looking at a sports referee. Case closed.

Context:
Sport and fraud law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction. The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA. As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them. This <t>way</t>, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase. Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players.

**Deconstructing "This Way"**

Okay, so the target is the word "way" in "This way," within the context of fulfilling a sanction through time-wasting. My initial thought is to pin down whether it means "manner" or "means." "This way" refers back to the deliberate action – the time-wasting. It's the method used.

Initially, I'm leaning toward "means," "agency," the way a result is achieved (Sense 2) because of the clear *how* of the time-wasting. However, "this way" *is* commonly understood as "in this manner" (Sense 1) – manner, mode, style, fashion.

I'm oscillating between the two, because both seem to fit. "In this manner" is a direct translation but I'm thinking about "by this means". I'm recalling the WordNet definitions and the subtle difference between "manner" (style) and "means" (tool).

Ultimately, while "means" perfectly captures the deliberate act, the idiom "this way" is most frequently classified under the manner/mode/style sense, Sense 1.

So, let me choose sense 1, but I feel like it is a close call. Sense 2 is possibly more accurate, but I'll pick Sense 1 (manner) for a safer choice. However, I am now thinking it's the *way* they used to achieve an outcome. So, the method itself. "a means of control". No, I will choose sense 1. Wait, now I will pick 1. Now I will pick 1.
