face-off

utkání, konfrontace; buly, vhazování

Confronting Billy with his unworthy behaviour towards her husband, she exposes this legend as a cheap fake. When Sorella recounts this face-off, it’s also intended as a moment of recognition, an anagnorisis, for the narrator.

That could start tonight as Chelmsford go to Medway in the Essex Radio Midweek League. Tomorrow they entertain Stevenage (face-off 8pm) with a crowd likely to be boosted by employees of potential sponsors, Midland Bank.

The Chinese vessels blocked the path of the Philippine naval vessel as journalists were lifted off in helicopters to inspect Mischief Reef, which China has seized and fortified. The face‑off was the clearest illustration since China fought Vietnam, in a naval battle in 1988, of Peking’s determination to claim all the Spratlys as its own.
