Ryder Cup 2012： Europe set for defence in Chicago
The Northern Irishmen will kick off the foursomes matches at 0720 (1320 BST) against Jim Furyk and Brandt Snedeker. Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia resume their unbeaten partnership against Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley. Lee Westwood and Francesco Molinari take on Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson, while Ian Poulter and Justin Rose face Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker. The one slight surprise for Europe was that Italy's Molinari was paired with Westwood, but Europe captain Jose Maria Olazabal defended his decision. &quot;It might surprise you, but when you look at Francesco's game, he's a steady player,&quot; said Olazabal, who played in seven Ryder Cups. &quot;He's straight off the tee,nike air max, he hits good iron shots. When I look at foursomes, I want to have players who are consistent and are steady from tee to green.&quot; The European side have won four of the last five Ryder Cups and six of the last eight against the USA, including two years ago in Wales, when the score was 14?-13?. US captain Davis Love said Snedeker's fine recent form had been a key factor in sending him out first,billige nike shox, despite this being his maiden Ryder Cup. &quot;We wanted to get Brandt going - Brandt likes to get out there and get after it,&quot; said Love, who played in six Ryder Cups. &quot;Phil and Keegan are a little bit excited to be playing,Billiga Nike Free, too, so get them going. And then we've got some pretty cool customers at the end that can handle whatever happens in the last two matches.&quot; Olazabal's team will be marginal underdogs over the long fairways and fast greens of Medinah Country Club,nike shox, 20 miles west of Chicago. Love has promised &quot;fired-up&quot; crowds over the three-day contest, with 40,000 expected to throng the course each day for what promises to be one of the closest ever Ryder Cups. The USA's sole success this century came at Valhalla four years ago and Love will lean heavily on the experience of 14-time major winner Woods, Mickelson and Furyk as he attempts to steer a team containing four debutants to victory. Olazabal hopes to inspire his side with the memory of his late friend and team-mate Seve Ballesteros, who helped reinvigorate a previously US-dominated contest with a succession of European wins in the 1980s and 1990s. Ballesteros died last year but his image is emblazoned on his successors' bags, and his iconic outfit of navy trousers and jumper and white polo shirt will be worn by the team over the weekend. &quot;What I learnt from Seve was no quitting,Nike Free 2.0, to face adversity and more than anything I learnt what true passion is all about. Seve, we miss you,&quot; said Olazabal in his speech at the lavish Opening Ceremony. With just one rookie - Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts - in their ranks, the European side are the more experienced of the two, and Olazabal will hope that his team can get off to the sort of start to silence the partisan home crowds. The 23-year-old McIlroy,billige nike free, ranked number one in the world, has won three times in his last five events - including his second major, a remarkable eight-shot victory at the US PGA Championship.

Man City 1：1 Borussia Dortmund
City's 17-game unbeaten run at home in Europe looked to be over with the German side leading through a Marco Reus strike and only being denied more goals by a virtuoso performance from an inspired Joe Hart. But with Roberto Mancini's men on the ropes in what the City manager had described as a must-win encounter in Group D, they were gifted a last-minute chance to save themselves when Neven Subotic handled inside the area, and substitute Balotelli coolly rolled home the resulting spot-kick. It is a point that keeps City's hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive but it was more than they deserved from a game in which their defence was often ripped to shreds. The tone for a frantic first half was set in the first few seconds when Edin Dzeko's flick allowed space for Samir Nasri's shot,nike free, which was pushed away by Roman Weidenfeller. Weidenfeller was a busy man in the first half,Nike Free 3.0 v3, dashing from his line on two occasions to thwart Sergio Aguero after David Silva sent him running clear,billige nike shox, and also tipping over a fizzing shot from the Argentine striker. But the real heroics were taking place at the other end,nike sko, where Hart made his first fantastic save of the night after 12 minutes when he dived at full length to claw Mario Gotze's shot on to the post. Much had been made of the threat posed to City by Polish striker Robert Lewandowski in the build-up to the game, but it was Germany international Gotze who looked most likely to break the deadlock. Hart had to spread himself to keep out the Dortmund playmaker's dinked shot after a neat Dortmund move before somehow turning a fierce angled effort from the same player on to his crossbar. The chances kept coming and, after the impressive Silva somehow failed to turn in Pablo Zabaleta's cross from point-blank range, it was down to Hart to keep the game scoreless at the break,Nike Free 2.0, this time denying Ilkay Gundogan with another instinctive stop. Gotze and Hart kept up their personal battle at the start of the second half, with Hart throwing himself to his right to keep out a curling effort from the edge of the area. But Dortmund continued to look dangerous and and got their reward just after the hour mark, following a disastrous mistake by Jack Rodwell,billige nike free, on for the injured Javi Garcia. Rodwell's pass across defence was meant for Vincent Kompany but only succeeded in releasing Reus to run into the area and fire in a shot that Hart got a hand to but could not keep out. City's attempt to respond only left them looking even more vulnerable at the back, with Hart blocking another Reus effort and tipping over Gundogan's shot, while Lewandowski failed to turn in a cross from close range. By now Mancini's men were hanging on rather than pushing for an equaliser, but that changed after Balotelli came off the bench with 10 minutes to go. When the ball was played into the Dortmund box, Aguero lifted it over Subotic, bringing a handball from the Dortmund defender. Responsibility for the spot-kick fell to Balotelli, who went for precision rather than power as he sent Weidenfeller the wrong way to dig his side out of what would have been a huge hole. Real Madrid thrashed Ajax in Amsterdam to lead the group while Dortmund occupy second spot, three points clear of City. Even a draw means City still have it all to do to reach the knockout stages for the first time but they at least head for back-to-back ties against Ajax knowing that Madrid and Dortmund are not out of sight.

Football Association to launch England player code of conduc
He hopes to have it ready for when England play Sweden on 14 November and punishments could include suspensions. &quot;They [the players] are incredible role models with incredibly high profiles and their behaviour is extremely important,&quot,Nike Free; said Bernstein. &quot;I feel very strongly about that. This really should have been brought in years and years ago.&quot; The most recent controversy to hit the England camp is left-back Ashley Cole's Twitter message insulting the FA. Cole, 31, later deleted the tweet and apologised to Bernstein before meeting Prince William when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge officially opened the FA new centre of excellence at St George's Park on Tuesday. Bernstein, Club England managing director Adrian Bevington, FA chief executive Alex Horne and the FA's director of football development Sir Trevor Brooking have given the senior England squad a 10-minute bullet point presentation on what they expect,nike air max. &quot;I came into this position as chairman with five things I'd identified, one of which was respect, in its wider sense,&quot; said Bernstein, who took up his role in January 2011,billige nike free. &quot;Not just towards referees but player-to-player, the whole respect agenda,Billiga Nike Free. &quot,Nike Free Skor;I'm beginning to think it's the most important thing I've got to deal with as chairman of the FA.&quot; He added: &quot;These guys share a desire to play for England. They really do value it. &quot;But the FA is a complicated organisation. Having the whole regulatory side alongside Club England has created a degree of confusion. &quot;There has been a lack of clarity and the fact we haven't sat down with them has led to a bit of fuzziness.&quot; Players have not been banned from using Twitter by the FA but there will be punishments if they break the rules which will soon come into force. &quot;If someone transgresses in a way that brings the integrity of the team or themselves or the organisation into question, we have the ability to warn them, or if we deem it appropriate, under significant circumstances, to suspend them from England,&quot; said Bevington. &quot,Nike Free 3.0 v3;A lot of thought has gone into it and obviously the clubs have their own codes of conduct.&quot;

Rain washes out England's qualifying match with Poland
Storms engulfed Warsaw on Tuesday afternoon,nike shox, soaking the playing surface at the ￡400m national stadium. The referee inspected the pitch twice before calling the game off. It will now be played at 1600 BST on Wednesday. &quot;It was the only decision that could be made,&quot; England manager Roy Hodgson said. &quot;Water is lying on the surface.&quot,billige nike shox; Despite rain being forecast, officials in Warsaw decided the stadium's retractable roof would not be needed. It was finally deployed at around midnight local time, just hours after Hodgson admitted he was concerned the pitch would require intensive work if it was to be fit to host the rearranged match. &quot;I'm rather hoping they will get it [the roof] closed now as quickly as possible and start to do some work on the pitch because,billige nike sko, at the moment, the pitch is in very poor condition,&quot; Hodgson told ITV1. &quot;It's going to need a lot of attention if it's going to be playable tomorrow afternoon.&quot; Under Fifa rules, both sides must attempt to replay the game within 24 hours if a match is postponed in these circumstances. If that is not possible, the tie must be played on a date agreed by both associations,nike free. &quot;There're no other possibilities,&quot; Hodgson added. &quot;You can't find dates at international level. The dates that are available are all taken up, so you can't just suddenly decide we'll play it another time.&quot; Polish officials have yet to decide on how tickets will be reallocated but they have confirmed spectators will be allowed in the stadium. Following Tuesday's postponement the Football Association formally requested the match be played under the roof. With it finally being brought into action hopes have been raised that the game will go ahead without incident on Wednesday and BBC Sport's Richard Conway reported on Tuesday night that the pitch appeared to be draining well. Jeers and cat-calls were heard around the stadium on Tuesday night as supporters began to realise the extent of the problems - many of the 2,nike air max,000 England fans were due to fly out of Warsaw on Tuesday night. The 55,000-seater stadium was purpose-built for Euro 2012, which Poland hosted in June, along with neighbouring Ukraine. The role of Italian referee Gianluca Rocchi is likely to come under scrutiny and questions asked about why the weather problems were not monitored more closely. Hodgson had earlier named an England side captained by Steven Gerrard and including Ashley Cole, both of who had been due to win their 99th caps. &quot;What you have to do is to try to organise to get the game played as quickly as possible,&quot; Hodgson added. &quot;We'll have to go back to the hotel. We're disappointed. We prepared well for this start tonight, as no doubt the Poles have too, but now we've got to do it all over again and hopefully we'll be as prepared tomorrow as we were tonight.&quot; The England manager had made a total of six changes, with Glen Johnson, Joleon Lescott, James Milner and Jermain Defoe back in the starting line-up. Defenders Kyle Walker, Gary Cahill and Leighton Baines,billige nike free, midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, striker Danny Welbeck and the injured Theo Walcott made way. Fifa rules allow both managers to alter their line-ups, but Hodgson hopes to name the same side. &quot;I have chosen the team to start the game and I have no intention of changing it unless someone falls ill

Chris Kirkland hit by Leeds fan at Sheffield Wednesday
Former Liverpool and England keeper Kirkland, 31, had just conceded a 77th-minute equaliser to Michael Tonge as Leeds fought back to draw 1-1. Moments later, a fan from the Leeds end ran on to the pitch and struck Kirkland with such force he fell to the ground. Owls boss Dave Jones called for Leeds fans to be banned from away grounds. &quot,Beats By Dr Dre;They are vile animals. You talk about racism [but] the chanting, that's a form of racism,&quot; Jones, who was taunted by visiting fans during the game at Wednesday's Hillsborough ground, told BBC Radio 5 live,Monster Beats. &quot;They should be banned from every away ground if they're going to behave like that. &quot;They [Leeds fans] are all going to get tarred with the same brush and that's not right, but they will do and they should do because it wasn't one person chanting the vile things. &quot;I thought those days had gone 15 or 20 years ago. They should be punished,Beats by dre. I've had it for 12 years and it is just upsetting that they are able to do it. &quot;The authorities have to look at it and sort it. I'm talking about an incident when we should be talking about the football.&quot; Jones was also angry that Leeds manager Neil Warnock instructed his players to applaud the away fans at the end of the game. &quot;I really am fuming that he sent his players to clap them. For what? Wrecking a stadium, beating up my goalkeeper?&quot; he added. South Yorkshire Police have issued a statement saying they were also investigating incidents &quot;where it is believed seats and bottles were thrown&quot; inside the ground. Kirkland was able to finish the game but Jones said the player was &quot;sore&quot;, &quot;dazed&quot; and &quot;maybe concussed&quot; in the dressing room. Warnock, who offered to calm both sets of fans down in the first half as tensions rose, admitted he was &quot;embarrassed&quot; to be a manager. &quot;I thought it was an absolute disgrace. They should get the guy, prosecute him, put him in prison,Billiga Beats By Dr Dre,&quot; he said. &quot;I'm not proud to be Leeds manager when I see that. &quot;I don't mind the atmosphere, there's been elbows flying, but to see things like that on the field of play, I'm embarrassed.&quot; Kirkland, who joined the Owls from Wigan in May on a two-year contract, won one England cap in 2006 when he came on as a substitute in a 4-0 friendly win against Greece at Old Trafford. Leeds,Billiga Monster, who had 5,300 fans in the crowd of 28,582, released a statement after the game,Beats Sverige. It read: &quot;Leeds United would like to publicly apologise and condemn the action of the fan who came on the pitch and attacked Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland. &quot;The club will fully co-operate with the police and the football authorities in identifying the individual concerned. &quot;After the week football has endured there is no place for this type of behaviour and the majority of Leeds supporters will be ashamed of his actions.&quot; Ray Fell, chairman of the Leeds United Supporters' Club, said he was &quot;distressed&quot; at what had happened.

Sunderland 1：1 Newcastle
Newcastle successfully protected Yohan Cabaye's third-minute goal until four minutes from time - despite having Cheick Tiote sent off midway through the first half for a high challenge on Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher. Sunderland's response to their numerical advantage was desperately poor and lacked any semblance of real creation until Seb Larsson's free-kick was headed on to Ba by John O'Shea, a crucial deflection that wrong-footed Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul,nike air max. The Black Cats then pressed forward for a late winner but a point was the least Newcastle deserved for the way they remained organised and kept Sunderland at arm's length despite losing the influential Tiote, with defender Fabricio Coloccini magnificent. It was only when the Argentine succumbed to cramp late on that Sunderland applied any real pressure on Newcastle to force the equaliser. Magpies manager Alan Pardew clenched his fist to their travelling fans at the final whistle but he may even be disappointed at not holding out for what would have been a memorable victory. Sunderland have now won only one of their last 16 games against their local rivals and they rarely looked like improving that record until that late rally. In a predictably fevered atmosphere,nike sko, the visitors' nerves were settled and Sunderland's anxiety increased as Pardew's side struck early. Ba's shot was turned out by the feet of Sunderland keeper Simon Mignolet and Cabaye arrived in a crowded penalty area to drive home a low finish. Sunderland struggled to find any composure, in sharp contrast to Newcastle's more measured approach, and Cabaye was a threat once more as his long-range shot was turned over by Mignolet. The atmosphere inevitably placed this game permanently on the edge and it boiled over after 25 minutes when Tiote was sent off by referee Martin Atkinson. He had already won a free-kick after being pulled by Jack Colback but left his foot in high on Fletcher and Atkinson swiftly produced the red card. Sunderland, whose attempts to bring Adam Johnson's talents to bear had been frustrated by close marking, were buoyed by Newcastle being reduced to 10 men,nike shox, but the visitors were still the better side,billiga nike sko. Johnson did escape the constant attention to send a curling shot wide and Craig Gardner was narrowly off target - but even with only 10 men Sunderland failed to seriously test keeper Tim Krul in the first half. Newcastle did make an adjustment after Tiote's sending off, introducing James Perch for Shola Ameobi, and they almost snatched a second as half-time approached but Ba sent a bicycle kick wide from eight yards. The hosts made no further headway after the break and it was no surprise when O'Neill introduced Louis Saha for the ineffective Stephane Sessegnon just after the hour. There was a rare moment of anxiety for Newcastle with 19 minutes left when Krul failed to cling on to James McClean's cross but Coloccini was once more perfectly positioned to rescue his keeper. Newcastle had been content to play a game of containment,billiga nike free, and did it quite successfully, but they almost snatched a second on the break when Ba raced on to Cabaye's pass but could not get proper contact on his finish. As the game entered its last 10 minutes Sunderland finally fashioned a clear opportunity but Saha could only volley into the side-netting at the far post,billiga nike shox. Newcastle's grip on the game had loosened after the departure of Coloccini through injury, the arrival of Steven Taylor producing a predictably hostile reaction after his public claim that no Sunderland player would get into the Magpies team. And it was amid such confusion that Sunderland finally got the break with four minutes left. Larsson's free-kick headed on to Ba by O'Shea, leaving Krul wrong-footed and ensuring the points were shared.
