Hello
I'm having trouble with the top right corner!
4 across: How stupid soccer bosses relax, hiding Euro pressure (8) I've only got two definite letters which are _A_E_ _ _ _
For 10 across I've got squatted but have no idea about the word play (Crouch mostly to count dead)
16 across: Kiss shory girl, Die (7) N_C_ _ _E, I think it must begin with 'neck' but the only word I can then find is necktie which doesn't seem right.

with help with these hopefully I can sort out the rest!
Thanks in advance

16 NEC(k)ROSE
4a) FACEPALM = how stupid a gesture http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/facepalm

soccer bosses = F.A.
relax = CALM
hiding euro pressure = put E P in the middle of that^

FA CepALM
(meant to put a hyphen after 'stupid' to separate the explanation from the definition part of the clue)
10a squarely = squa(t) + rely

assuming the letters fit
