Real Madrid's Portuguese international striker, Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed he will attend the ceremony for the prestigious Balon D'Or award to be held in Zurich on Monday.paper drinking straws wholesaleAuthentic Replica LV Men HandbagsBuy buy cheap Lululemon Outerwear Yoga Clothes, Custom Fit Stripe Shirt and more.Ronaldo's decision will increase speculation that he is in line to win the Balon D'Or,Abercrombie Men's Shirts-AF4158 which is to be given to the player voted as the best footballer of the past year, by international coaches and players.He is competing against FC Barcelona's Leo Messi, who has won the award on the past four occasions, and Bayern Munich striker Frank Ribery.A major handicap for Ronaldo, who scored his 400th career goal on Monday, is that despite a brilliant year, which saw him score a hat-trick in November to qualify Portugal for the World Cup finals in Brazil, his Real Madrid side failed to win any titles in 2013 and the club's campaign has to be qualified as a failure.Messi on the other hand led FC Barcelona to the La Liga title in Spain, although his year has been complicated by a series of muscle injuries and he has not played since early November. 

If titles were the criteria for winning the Balon D'Or then Ribery would be the clear favorite given that he formed part of a Bayern Munich side which win the German League and Cup as well as the Champions League and the European Supercup, before ending 2013 with Bayern being crowned as World Club Champions, although it should be pointed out they won that trophy after voting for the Balon D'Or had closed.Custom LOL lovely Q version design pure cotton long sleeve T-shirtWhile Ribery can point to the titles on his bookshelf, many consider that he won them as part of a team, whereas his individual displays were not as decisive as those of Messi or Ronaldo, who is probably favorite."It is a closed issue and I don't want to speak about it any more. All I am going to say is that I am going to the gala," said Ronaldo, who didn't want to speculate on whether or not he would win."I don't know if it is fair if I win or if Ribery or Messi wins. I try and do my job as always and help Real Madrid with goals and good football. If I win then it will be very good, but if not then life carries on and I will continue playing.Ronaldo's presence had been in doubt after FIFA President, Sepp Blatter made some ill-advised comments about him at the Oxford Union activity towards the end of 2013."I have always gone to the ceremonies and that I don't see why I shouldn't go. It is normal to be present," concluded Ronaldo.

Saints RB Pierre Thomas , who missed last week’s game with a chest injury, returned to practice on a limited basis but his status is still up in the air. It looks as though CB Keenan Lewis should be able to play after sustaining a concussion in Philadelphia,tissue paper pom pom wholesale and he’ll be key for New Orleans as Seahawks WR Percy Harvin , his hip feeling well, will play. LB K.J. Wright , who did a great job against Saints TE Jimmy Graham (three catches for 42 yards and one touchdown) in their regular-season meeting, will miss another game with a foot injury. Malcolm Smith has done a good job in his place but won’t be able to cover Graham one-on-one and will need help from SS Kam Chancellor.The three Seahawks combined for 21 of the team’s 44 sacks while Seattle was getting a league-high 203 QB pressures. A first-quarter strip sack of Drew Brees got the ball rolling in the first game and he was under so much pressure he was unable to get the ball downfield. Strief and Armstead can’t handle them alone. The Saints are going to have to give their tackles help or offset the aggressiveness with some well-planned screens. 

“I think we’ll see a little different approach from the Saints this time. The Seahawks’ defense has one small weakness and that’s against the run, especially between the tackles. The Saints can test that with Mark Ingram and limit the effect of the crowd noise. They fell behind so early in the first game (17-0 before they ran nine plays),party paper straws they had to abandon the run. The physicality of the Seahawks’ secondary just wears down your receivers.disposable wooden cutlery (Saints defensive coordinator) Rob Ryan loaded the box to contain Marshawn Lynch in the first game but Russell Wilson was able to take advantage of that.paper drinking straws”It’s all about the noise at CenturyLink Field, where the vaunted 12th Man is capable of setting off minor earthquakes. The Saints are still a different team outside of the Superdome and their recent history in Seattle, including a 34-7 loss last month, is pretty abysmal. The Seahawks have lost only twice at home over the past two seasons. The expected rain is another factor that could hold down the Saints offense.Food paper bag wholesale  The Saints have had time to figure out what went wrong in that first game, however, and Sean Payton is pretty good at making adjustments.

Canada is going with experience in the defense of its men's ice hockey Olympic gold medal next month in Sochi, Russia, after Hockey Canada on Tuesday announced 11 returning players from the 2010 winning team among its 25-player roster.Sidney Crosby, who scored the winning goal to lift Canada over the U.S. in the gold medal game at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, was in the Canadian city again Tuesday as his Pittsburgh Penguins were playing the Vancouver Canucks that night.The NHL's leading scorer, a native of Cole Harbour,Isuzu Auto Parts Nova Scotia, called it an honor to be representing his country for a second occasion at the Olympics. At the Vancouver Games,nike shox shoes the 26-year-old scored four goals and seven points in seven games to lead Canada to its eighth Olympic ice hockey gold medal, the most titles by any nation."I think I'm just as excited as anyone else," said Crosby, who currently leads the NHL with 63 points in 44 games.canada goose jacket women "Everyone talks about how you expect to be there but honestly it doesn't get old."Other returning players include forwards Patrice Bergeron, Ryan Getzlaf, Patrick Marleau, Rick Nash, Corey Perry and Jonathan Toews; defencemen Drew Doughty, Duncan Keith and Shea Weber, and goaltender Roberto Luongo."Obviously the setting's different,Forklift forks you know. We felt right at home last time around," said Luongo, who unseated Martin Brodeur as Team Canada's starting goalie during the 2010 Olympics."It was fun to play in front of the fans, but this is a different challenge, for different reasons it's going to be just as fun," The Vancouver Canucks goalie said he didn't know if he would be the starting goalie this time around. 

"That's not my call to make. I mean I think at this point it's about representing Team Canada, you know, and everybody's going to have a role. A lot of guys are going to be in roles that they're not use to playing, so same goes for me," Luongo said."I don't know what my role is going to be,Lululemon Women's Pants and things change as we've seen in the past over the course of the tournament and I'm just going to be ready to play."First-time Olympians named to the Canada team included forwards Jamie Benn, Jeff Carter, Matt Duchene, Chris Kunitz, Patrick Sharp, Steven Stamkos and John Tavares; defencemen Jay Bouwmeester, Dan Hamhuis, Alex Pietrangelo, P.K. Subban and Marc-Edouard Vlasic, and goaltenders Carey Price and Mike Smith.Among the notable NHL players left off the team were the Philadelphia Flyer's Claude Giroux, Tampa Bay Lightning's Martin St. Louis and San Jose's Joe Thornton and Logan Couture, all of whom are having excellent seasons.Team Canada general manager Steve Yzerman said more players could be added to his lineup before next month's Games as injuries come into play.Stamkos, the NHL's leading goal scorer in 2010 and 2012, most noticeably, is back skating after breaking his leg on Nov. 11 and is hopeful of being in Sochi."We had some difficult decision to make, there's a lot of good players to choose from, but this isn't about any one individual," said Yzerman, noting that the team could only nominate 25 players initially."We had hard decision to make because we have so many tremendous players to choose, that's what make it's difficult."

One man convinced Newton’s rushing total will be higher than during the regular season is 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, the man charged with figuring out how to contain Carolina’s QB.“When you have a quarterback of Cam Newton’s ability in this type of game, I think he’ll be apt to run a little bit more than he maybe would normally,” Fangio said. “They may even call more of the quarterback runs for him, the quarterback powers or lead draws.Isuzu Auto Parts”With so much passing by NFL teams, it’s easy to forget that there’s still a place for a running game. Except it’s not necessarily going to be running backs gaining key yards on the ground in these playoffs. It’s the quarterbacks. With Newton, San Francisco’s Colin Kaepernick and Seattle’s Russell Wilson — and Indianapolis’ Andrew Luck is a capable ballcarrier, too — defensive players were going to be wary of scrambles, sneaks and designed runs by the QBs this weekend.Even Drew Brees got in on the act a week ago while helping New Orleans beat Philadelphia 26-24, with 13 yards on five runs, his second-highest totals for any game over the past two seasons.And if Kaepernick’s 98-yard, seven-carry day in a 23-20 victory over Green Bay — the most yards rushing for any player in the wild-card round — is any indication, it might just be that speedy QBs held under wraps during the regular season were going to get to strut their stuff more in the postseason.“Colin is prepared to tuck the ball and run,” 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. “We’ve all seen that.”Never more so than in the playoffs. Kaepernick’s two top-yardage rushing games as a pro came in the postseason (both were against the Packers; he ran for 181 against them a year ago, a record for a QB).Seeing Kaepernick do his thing brought to mind someone in particular for Randall Cunningham, a star in the 1980s and 1990s and the prototypical dual-threat QB. 

“Kaepernick reminds me a lot of myself. When the game is on the line, he’s going to use his legs. Those are the plays that break a defense’s back,” said Cunningham, who held the record for career yards rushing by a quarterback until Michael Vick broke the mark. “It’s a fun part of the game and a needed part of the game now.”That’s in part, he said, because running QBs make their passing more effective, too.“It’s one thing to know a quarterback isn’t going to run out of the pocket; you can rush three (defenders),” Cunningham said. “But with a Kaepernick, you try to rush three, he’s got the ability to move around back there and he can get the defense out of position and then run or throw. ... He can throw the ball on the run, throw off-balance.”According to STATS, which does a video review of every play of every NFL game, Kaepernick gained 13 yards on three designed runs against the Packers last weekend, plus 85 yards on four scrambles. That includes an 11-yard, blitz-eluding run on third-and-8 on the final drive, helping set up the game-winning field goal.“His legs are his weapon,” Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly said, “and he knows that.”The same could be said of Kuechly’s teammate, Newton, who ran a season-high 12 times for 72 yards in a playoff-type Week 17 victory over Atlanta,canada goose jacket women sealing the NFC South title.Newton led the league’s quarterbacks with 585 yards rushing this season. Wilson was No.wholesale cheap Oakley Grade AAA Sunglasses sale from www.alipaytrade.com homepage. 3, Kaepernick No.Lululemon Women's Pants 4 — both also above 500. Luck was No. 7 with 377 yards, with about a third fewer carries.Luck showed what he can do by fooling Kansas City on a bootleg keeper for 21 yards on fourth-and-1 in the second quarter of the Colts’ wild 45-44 comeback victory last weekend. Luck pulled off a similar play on a 6-yard TD run at San Francisco in Week 3.Against the Chiefs,nike shox shoes he wound up with a season-high 45 yards rushing on seven carries. And that doesn’t include his most significant play on the ground: the headfirst leap into the end zone for a touchdown after recovering a teammate’s fumble.Colts coach Chuck Pagano acknowledges it can be worrisome to watch his QB get exposed to extra hits by running.

Rick Nash considered himself luckier than good on his game-winning goal in the New York Rangers 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars on Friday.The Rangers left winger registered his fourth goal in the last seven games and 50th career game-winner,canada goose jacket womenpoking a rebound off a shot from center Chris Kreider with 1:58 to play that broke a 2-2 tie."I think it was 50 percent luck ... well probably 70 percent luck and 30 percent skill," said Nash of his 10th goal of the season. "I was just following the puck and it rolled up. It went a little bit higher than anticipated,Forklift forks but luckily it went in."The game was a display of two goaltenders who will be appearing in the Winter Olympics in Russia in February. Dallas' Kari Lehtonen will be representing Finland and New York's Henrik Lundqvist will be in the net for Sweden.The victory followed the Rangers most impressive win this season, a 3-2 decision against the Blackhawks in Chicago on Wednesday. A better team on the road at 14-10-0, the Rangers are starting to play more consistently at Madison Square Garden, where they are 9-10-3 and have claimed three of their last four."We talked about it this morning, to follow up with a really strong game and we did," said Lundqvist, who moved to 14-16-3. "We played really hard and smart.Lululemon Women's Pants It's always a great feeling when you come up big in the end of a game like we did tonight."After getting shut out for the first time all season against New Jersey on Thursday, Dallas struck first when center Cody Eakin's wrist shot glanced off Lundqvist's shoulder and dropped into the net at 4:06 of the first period. Center Ryan Garbutt and defenseman Jordie Benn had the assists on Eakin's ninth goal and first in eight games. 

New York evened it at 1 on Ryan Callahan's eighth goal of the season at 11:20 of the first. The Rangers right winger received a short pass from center Brad Richards and poked it behind Lehtonen as he was falling down.Dallas moved ahead 2-1 at 3:34 of the second period. Garbutt deked out Lundqvist on his forehand after taking a pass from left wingerIsuzu Auto Parts Antoine Roussel, who skated down the left side unscathed.The Rangers power-play unit tied the game at 2 at 8:22 of the second period. Center Derick Brassard deflected left winger Mats Zuccarello's shot from the high slot for his seventh goal and team-leading fifth on the power play.Brassard has collected a point in eight of the Rangers last 11 games."Our power play has been working real well for us," said Rangers coach Alain Vigneault. "It's been giving us momentum and timely goals."The Rangers had a good opportunity to take their first lead of the game early in the third period, but the Stars were able kill off a 4-on-3 power play, allowing just two shots.New York (23-20-3) is 7-3-1 in its last 11 games.The Stars are 0-5 in January and have been outscored 26-10.Dallas (20-16-7) was outscored 11-5 on its recently concluded three-game Metropolitan trip,nike shox shoes which included stops at New Jersey and Long Island before skating at Madison Square Garden."We had a couple of pretty good looks in the third and we missed a couple," said Dallas coach Lindy Ruff. "I thought we skated better and I thought we created a little more, but we still have a ways to go though."

Real Madrid have extended the contract of midfielder Xabi Alonso for a further two seasons, it was confirmed this Wednesday.The news means that the Spain international, whose contract was due to expire at the end of the current season, will now remain with the club until the end of June 2016.It also ends one of the long running sagas of the season as Real Madrid worked to maintain the services of the 32-year-old, who is considered vital to their midfield balance.The news means there is now no chance of Alonso, who joined Madrid in the summer of 2009, returning to the Premier League, at least for the near future.Earlier in the day, coach Carlo Ancelotti had spoken of Alonso' s importance, saying he was, "one of the strongest midfielders in the World.""He is very important for us and when he is available (Alonso is suffering from a perforated eardrum), he will play again," added the coach.Meanwhile Wednesday also saw Ancelotti accept his word of winger Angel Di Maria in the light of the latest scandal to hit the club.As he was leaving the pitch after being substitutes after just over an hour of Monday's 3-0 win at home to Celta, the Argentinean winger made a gesture, which can best be described as touching his genitals.Di Maria explained afterwards that he was merely ensuring everything was in the right place and that he was merely ' rearranging' his private parts. However, given that he was being booed by a section of the crowd in the Santiago Bernabeu, some have chosen to see his action as a deliberate act of disrespect and the club has opened an investigation with a view to possibly sanctioning him. 

Speaking in his press conference ahead of Thursday's Copa del Rey match at home to Osasuna, Ancelotti was questioned about the incident and said he supported his player."He has given his explanation and we have to believe his words,Honeycomb Tissue Balls " said Ancelotti."If anyone thinks he made an ugly gesture,Long Sleeve T-Shirts he has apologized and that is the end of the matter, because the player is concentrating to play and he is not going to have problems in the Bernabeu.""The fans in the Bernabeu are demanding of their players, but they also show them a lot of affection and he will not have any problems. The issue has to end quickly because we need him this season," insisted the coach.Nevertheless, Ancelotti added that with Gareth Bale now available once again following his calf injury, Di Maria would not start against Osasuna."He is not going to start because I am going to use a fresh player. He has no problems in playing and he is happy here and relaxed. He has a good relationship with his team-mates and looking forward to having a good season," said the Real Madrid coach,Honeycomb Pom Poms who ruled out any activity in the current transfer market."There will not be any players coming in order going out. We have a very good squad and we don't need anything," he said.Despite Ancelotti's words, Di Maria's case is interesting given that he was help up as a shining example of a player who had decided to stay and fight for his place after the arrival of Gareth Bale from Tottenham and Mesut Ozil's decision to leave for Arsenal on the last day of August.Di Maria was held as an example of a player with personality,Buy Cheap Coach Grade AAA Handbags, Custom Fit Stripe Shirt and more. while the pro-Madrid press, perhaps in an attempt to justify the sale of the talented German, preferred to show Ozil as a quitter.Now Bale's rapid adaption to the Madrid side and the excellent form of youngster Jese Rodriguez appears to have seen Di Maria drop down the pecking order and given that he would fetch a hefty transfer fee,bag suppliers the attitude of the club and the press, if not that of the coach, appears to have changed drastically.

Star defenseman Ryan Suter recorded his first career hat trick as Minnesota scored five goals on its first 10 shots, including three power-play tallies, beating up Braden Holtby (six saves on those 11 shots) in his first start in two weeks. The Capitals have lost four straight and seven of their past nine. Philadelphia’s 5-3 win over Phoenix meant the Capitals have dropped to third in the Metropolitan Division.“It started with the penalties,” Marcus Johansson said. “That changed the whole game. I think we owned the game in the first period and I think we outplayed them five-on-five in most part of the second, too..Buy Smiling Face Handbag(AAA) wholesale, Custom Fit Stripe Shirt and more.....It’s tough when it’s not really going your way and you feel like you’re playing good still.”The result was a divergence from the opening period of play when Washington set a commanding tone, working the puck down low in the offensive zone and taking advantage of a disorganized Wild defense. As has been done to them on frequent occasion, the Capitals picked off clearing passes and turned neutral-zone turnovers by their foes into extended shifts of opportunity.On a power play, Alex Ovechkin threw an unassuming shot on net, creating a rebound that Johansson was able to tuck past the right skate of Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom (27 saves) for a 1-0 lead 12:02 into the contest. Thirteen seconds later, a pretty wrister by Mike Green, who danced past Matt Cooke, made it 2-0.Washington entered the first intermission not only up by two goals but with a commanding 11-1 lead in shots having dominated possession — a fact that didn’t go unnoticed by the home crowd here in the self-proclaimed State of Hockey. The Wild, with Coach Mike Yeo on the hot seat given the team’s recent struggles, was heavily booed while heading to the dressing room. Minnesota had lost six of seven, as the Capitals have now. 

But what seemed like a comfortable contest would turn ugly for the Capitals quickly in the second, aided by the buy cheap Bench Outerwear Yoga Clothesstruggles of Holtby, who had faced only one shot after his lengthy layoff.“It makes it tougher but you can’t use that as an excuse,” Holtby said. “Performance just wasn’t good enough. It is tougher without a workload but you still have to make the saves when you’re called upon.”On Minnesota’s secoBuy high quality Coach Grade Sunglasses, Custom Fit Stripe Shirt and more.nd shot of the game, 2:16 into the second period, Nino Niederreiter beat Holtby glove-side to cut the Capitals’ lead to one. Washington had lost track of the playmaking forward on the play,Abercrombie Men's Fleece-AF50203 allowing him to drive the net, receive a centering pass from Charlie Coyle and fire a shot before realizing what had happened.“They had nothing, then we made mistakes on the first goal, gave them a little life,” Coach Adam Oates said.Where the middle stanza shifted, though, was when Steve Oleksy and Karl Alzner took roughing and delay of game penalties five seconds apart to give the Wild nearly two minutes of a five-on-three power play. It took Minnesota 21 seconds to tie the game at 2 when Suter blasted a slap shot from the point with Dany Heatley and defenseman Carlson in front preventing Holtby from ever seeing the shot.“The penalties, putting it in the stands.tissue pape honeycomb We talk about details all the time,” Oates said. “We get two [delay of game penalties] tonight and they score on both.” 

Forty-two seconds later, on a traditional power play, the Wild converted on essentially the same play. With Heatley serving as a 6-4, 220 pound visual impediment for Holtby once again, Suter sent a snap shot in from the blue line that found its way through the bodies to give Minnesota its first lead. The Wild had managed to score three goals on five shots, including goals on consecutive shots by Suter.“We have to do something about it, avoid our mistakes, stay out of the box and make sure we play five-on-five,” said Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom. “I think that we’re fine five-on-five but [the penalties are] tough that’s for sure. We didn’t help Holtsy back there at all.”The Capitals caught a lucky bounce when a shot off the end boards by Green caromed back out into the Wild netminder into the net to knot the game at 3. But Washington again hurt itself before the period came to a close, as Mikhail Grabovski fired the puck over the glass to put the visitors shorthanded again.Defenseman Keith Ballard sent the puck on net but it took a deflection and popped up over Holtby, landing in the blue paint and trickling over the goal line with help from winger Jason Zucker, who received credit for the marker that put Minnesota up 4-3.With more than 14 minutes remaining in regulation, Suter received a minor penalty for tripping. But rather than taking advantage of a power play without Minnesota’s top defenseman off the ice, the Capitals recorded just one shot on goal. And when Suter came out of the penalty box, he would create a two-on-one rush against Green and score a final time to ice the Wild victory.“We’re going through a lousy stretch right now where we’ve played some good hockey and we’re getting lousy results,” Oates said. “Eleven shots [against] on the road should be good enough. It’s not so we’ve got to figure out another way to play that much better.”

When the Minnesota Wild plunked down $98 million to lock down defenseman Ryan Suter a few summers ago, they weren't thinking about his abilities as a goal scorer. So maybe his recent propensity for finding the back of the net could be considered a signing bonus.Suter's first career hat trick was the difference as the Wild rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat the Washington Capitals 5-3 on Saturday night."I can't get this smile off my face,Hydraulic dirt bucket suppliers" Suter said afterward.Authentic Replica LV Men Handbags "I've never gotten a hat trick.paper drinking straws wholesale I can't even score two goals in summer hockey."Suter scored a pair of power-play goals in the second period and added a third goal in the final period as Minnesota (22-17-5) won its second game in a row. Right winger Nino Niederreiter and left winger Jason Zucker also scored for the Wild, who lost their final six games of 2013, but have not lost since flipping the calendar.Defenseman Mike Green had his first two-goal game of the season for Washington (20-16-6), which led 2-0 after one period, but fell to 0-6-1 all-time at the Xcel Energy Center. The Capitals are the NHL's only team to never win a game at Minnesota since the Wild entered the league in 2000. Center Marcus Johansson also scored for the Capitals, who held Minnesota to 11 shots on goal for the game, but got just six saves from goaltender Braden Holtby."We're going through a lousy stretch right now where we're playing some good hockey and getting some lousy results," Capitals coach Adam Oates said, after his team fell to 1-3-3 in its past seven games. "Eleven shots on the road should be good enough.party supplies But it's not, so we need to find a way to play just a little bit better."The Capitals opened the game with an 11-1 advantage in shots on goal in the first 20 minutes, and scored a pair of goals just 13 seconds apart to take a 2-0 lead. 

With Washington on a power play, Minnesota goalie Niklas Backstrom knocked down a shot from the blue line by Capitals left winger Alex Ovechkin, only to have Johansson pop in the rebound.On the next shift, Green blasted a low shot from just inside the blue line that fooled Backstrom on the glove side. Left winger Dany Heatley had Minnesota's only shot on goal of the opening period."The first period, I really don't think we could've scripted that any better," said Capitals center Brooks Laich. "Two-nothing lead, they have one shot, they're not in our zone, they're getting booed off the ice after 20 minutes by their own fans on a Saturday night. We're in total control of that game. We get one in the second and after that the penalties shot us in the foot. That was the story of the game."The Wild's second shot of the game was much more productive, as Niederreiter flipped a puck over Braden Holtby's glove hand. Suter then blasted a pair of power-play shots from the blue line, both of which eluded Holtby, to give the Wild a 3-2 lead. Suter, who had not scored in the Wild's first 40 games of the season, now has five goals in the past four games.Green tied the game for Washington when a long-range shot was off target, but bounced off Backstrom and into the Minnesota net. But Zucker scored his second goal in as many games for the Wild, and Suter scored again in the final period, this time on a 2-on-1 break with fellow defenseman Clayton Stoner.According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Saturday's game was the first time since they began keeping track of such things in 1973 that a NHL team has scored five goals on fewer than a dozen shots.Pure Cotton Long Sleeve"Well, our shooting percentage went up," joked Wild coach Mike Yeo after Minnesota had its lowest shot total of the season. "When you get one shot in the first period, your totals aren't going to be real high. We have to be better. Like I said, how we execute, there's no two ways about it. But the second period is much more what we should be doing and I think we saw the results of that if we're doing it."Backstrom, who has been playing while Wild goaltending mainstay Josh Harding battles an illness, won his second game in a row with 25 saves.
