Tottenham were knocked out of the Champions League with a group stage game still to play after a 2-1 defeat by Monaco on Tuesday. Wholesale Pacers Jerseys Free Shipping . Monaco, who had the better of the first half, saw a penalty from Radamel Falcao saved well by Hugo Lloris after Eric Dier had brought down Fabinho. Sky Sports Black Friday sale Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price! But they went ahead just after the break as Dijbril Sidibe headed past Lloris from six yards after Benjamin Mendys cross. Harry Kane levelled from the penalty spot after Dele Alli was hauled down by Kamil Glik. Barely 40 seconds after Spurs had levelled, Monaco made it 2-1 through Thomas Lemar, who fired into the bottom right corner of the goal in acres of space inside the area.The result means Spurs cannot reach the last-16 due to Bayer Leverkusens superior head-to-head record against them, and must avoid defeat against CSKA Moscow at Wembley in a fortnights time to secure a Europa League knockout stage spot. Harry Kane drew Spurs level from the penalty spot After Leverkusen were held 1-1 by CSKA in the early game in Group E, Spurs kicked off knowing a draw would be enough to take it to the sixth and final matchday.Mauricio Pochettino made three changes after the 3-2 win over West Ham, bringing in Kieran Trippier, Heung-Min Son and Kevin Wimmer.They should have been ahead early on after Dele Alli played Son through on goal, but the South Korean fluffed his chance as he tried to take the ball around Monaco goalkeeper Danijel Subasic. Hugo Lloris saved a first-half penalty from Radamel Falcao The Ligue 1 side were awarded a penalty with 10 minutes gone after some lax Spurs defending resulted in Fabinho being caught by Diers stray leg, but Falcao saw his spot-kick saved superbly by Lloris down low to his right.Lloris then recovered well again after parrying Benjamin Mendys effort from the left angle into a dangerous area, before Valere Germains free header at the far post hit the chest of Wimmer.Germain, who caused problems throughout for Spurs with his running in behind the defence, then flashed a shot from an acute angle just wide of Lloris right post, and Spurs were lucky to go into the break unscathed. Dele Alli reacts to a foul in the first half Monaco finally took the lead after the break, Sidibes powerful header getting past Lloris after Mendys dangerous cross from the left.Spurs went up the other end moments later and were level after Allis fine turn forced Glik to bring him down, Kane converting for his fourth goal in three games since returning from injury.Merely 40 seconds later, Monaco went ahead again through Lemar, who found the bottom right corner of Lloris goal after being found in acres of space by Sidibe.Lloris kept the visitors in the game in the final stages, producing a world-class save from Gliks close-range effort from a cross, before parrying away Falcaos well-hit shot inside the area. Tottenhams goalkeeper Hugo Lloris put in a fine performance Alli missed a late chance at the far post from Christian Eriksens corner, turning the ball wide on the stretch, and Monaco held on for the win to send Tottenham out of the Champions League in Pochettinos first season in the competition.The win also continued Monacos fine run against English sides in the competition, having knocked out Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United over the past 20 years.Paul Walshs view on Soccer SpecialI think they will go for it in the Europa League, its a route back into the Champions League.The way theyre playing at the moment, the wheels of their season could come off, and theres no guarantee theyll finish in the top four, so they need every route open to them. Theyve got to stop dreaming and start playing again.I cant describe their Champions League form. After that fantastic result against Manchester City, I just dont really know whats gone wrong.The fluency, belief, confidence, seems to have drained out of them, and especially in the Champions League theyve been so poor. They havent had a performance in any of their five games.Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price. Hurry, offer ends December 4! Cory Joseph Jersey .

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers, and their revamped offensive line, didnt waste time in looking ahead to Sunday nights matchup at Minnesota.About 35 seconds ago, center J.C. Tretter said on Monday afternoon, about 24 hours after the Packers held off the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-23 for a season-opening victory.Thats when we left the meeting room. Were done with Jacksonville. Now, were on to Minnesota.The Vikings will provide a formidable test for Green Bays offensive line, which had to deal with the release of guard Josh Sitton on Sept. 3.Minnesotas defense dominated Tennessee in its opening game, holding the Titans to 64 rushing yards.While the Vikings allowed 16 points, linebacker Eric Kendricks (interception) and defensive end Danielle Hunter (fumble) provided touchdowns in a nine-point road victory.Sittons replacement, left guard Lane Taylor, fared well in his third career start.On a tone-setting fourth-and-1 on the opening series, he and left tackle David Bakhtiari delivered the key blocks on Eddie Lacys 9-yard run that set up the opening touchdown.I was ready for it, said Taylor, who started at left guard in last seasons Week 17 home loss to Minnesota, which ended the Packers five-year reign atop the NFC North. Ive played before and I know what its like. I was ready to go.On Sunday, Taylor squared off frequently against the Jaguars prized offseason signing, defensive tackle Malik Jackson. Taylor was up to the task. While he allowed a couple of presssures, he played a key role in Green Bay allowing one sack. Bojan Bogdanovic Jersey. It was great, Rodgers said of the protection after the game. I think I screwed them on that one (sack). The last thing you want to do is take a 0-yard run because that counts as a sack. I thought the protection was very good and I thought Lane played really well. Im happy.The line as a whole played great. (The pass rush) seemed to be high and wide on the outside and the middle (of the pocket) was very firm. Thats just how you like it.Minnesotas defense might not be the only challenge for Green Bay.Cornerback Sam Shields suffered a concussion during the fourth quarter on Sunday. Shields also suffered a concussion late last season, which kept him out of the final three regular-season games and the playoff win at Washington.Anytime any of our players is in the protocol and dealing with a concussion, its a concern, coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday.Thats why well evaluate Sam each and every day to make sure hes healthy and goes through the challenges of what hes dealing with. Its a protocol. I think they do a great job, particularly our doctors, of taking it one step at a time. We definitely are aware of his history and that will factor in on how we move forward.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL China Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys From China China Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping China Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Wholesale ' ' '

DURHAM, N. Jordan Retro 4 For Sale Cheap .C. -- Luke Kennard is ready for Duke to finally resemble the team that was picked No. 1 in the preseason.The fifth-ranked Blue Devils welcomed two key big men to the rotation -- but also played without two starting guards.With Kennard scoring a career-best 35 points, Duke routed Maine 94-55 on Saturday in the long-awaited debut of freshmen Jayson Tatum and Marques Bolden.Im just excited for everybody to get back, Kennard said. Im excited to be a full, healthy team, and just step on the pedal and be who we are going to be during the season.Amile Jefferson added a career-high 20 points and Tatum finished with 10 for the Blue Devils (8-1), who shot 60 percent while playing without a true point guard.Preseason All-America Grayson Allen and freshman Frank Jackson -- their starting backcourt for the past four games -- were held out. Allen has been dealing with a lingering toe injury, while coach Mike Krzyzewski says Jackson has a little bit of a sore foot.Krzyzewski says both players should be back for Tuesday nights game against No. 24 Florida in New York.They certainly didnt need them to rout the struggling Black Bears (2-6).Ilker Er scored all 20 of his points in the first half for Maine.The story of this one was who finally played for Duke, as well as who didnt.Duke has been without three injured five-star freshmen all season, with Tatum out since spraining his foot during an October practice in front of NBA scouts and Bolden sidelined since injuring his leg before the regular season started.Tatum wound up starting and scored his first basket on a banked jumper about 7 minutes in. Bolden was the first man off Dukes bench and his first points came when he stuck back Tatums missed layup with about 7 1/2 minutes until halftime.Tatum played 20 minutes and left after catching a leg cramp in the second half. Bolden logged 12 minutes off the bench and Krzyzewski said he just got tired.I was just happy to be out there -- to rebound, to play defense and to win, Tatum said.BIG PICTUREMaine: As their record might indicate, the Black Bears have some things to sort out, and Cameron Indoor Stadium is a tough place to fix those problems. To their credit, they kept things interesting in the first half while Duke figured out how to play without Allen and Jackson, but they didnt have any answers for Kennard and managed just 23 points in the second half.Everything about them kind of wore us down, coach Bob Walsh said. I thought they took our spirit away in the second half.Duke: Now that two of their injured key players are back, the focus shifts to the two other players who sat this one out. Neither one took part in pregame warmups -- both stood standing next to injured big man Sean Obi on the baseline -- and they were on the bench in their warmup gear throughout.Krzyzewski says Allen has turf toe thats not on the main part, its on the side part and probably needs the extended rest that will come during exam week and over the holidays to approach 100 percent. Duke plays only two games between Dec. 11-30.Krzyzewski said hes just trying to deal with the bottom line that eventually, everybody gets well. ...

Willie Taggart has become known for rebuilding programs at Western Kentucky and South Florida. Nike Roshe One Print . His next endeavor will be much more high profile, trying to turn around the struggling Oregon Ducks.Oregon announced Wednesday that it had hired Taggart to take over following a disappointing 4-8 season and the dismissal of coach Mark Helfrich.Taggart has been coach at USF for the past four seasons, guiding the team from a 2-10 record his first year to a 10-2 mark this year and a spot in the Birmingham Bowl.Before he arrived in Tampa he spent three seasons at his alma mater, Western Kentucky, inheriting a winless program that he turned around with back-to-back winning seasons.Willie places an emphasis on ensuring a positive student-athlete experience and on winning, and his previous stops have proven his success at both, Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens said in a statement. We have a very bright future under his leadership.A news conference to formally introduce Taggart was set for Thursday.Taggart, 40, is the first coach Oregon has hired from outside the program since 1976. The Ducks previous three coaches, Mike Bellotti, Chip Kelly and Helfrich, were all assistants who were promoted.Taggart will also be the first black head football coach at Oregon. The length and terms of his contract with the Ducks were not immediately released.Oregon has a strong national presence and a proud recent history of playing among the nations elite, and I look forward to the challenge of upholding the excellence, Taggart said in a statement. I cant wait to get started.Taggart was 16-20 at Western Kentucky, taking over when it was first transitioning to FBS. He went 7-5 in his last two seasons with the Hilltoppers and then moved to USF, not far from where he grew up in Bradenton, Florida.It took two seasons and a change in offensive philosophy from more pro-style, West Coast schemes to a spread, but he now has the 25th-ranked Bulls rolling. They finished second in the American Athletic Conference East Division to Temple and will play South Carolina on Dec. 29 in the Birmingham Bowl.Wednesday was the second straight day the AAC has lost one of its best coaches, and the third the conference has lost since Thanksgiving weekend. Temples Matt Rhule was hired by Baylor on Monday and Tom Herman left Houston for Texas on Nov. 26.Taggart had support from former NFL player and broadcaster Tony Dungy, whose son Eric played at USF in 2014 after transferring from Oregon.Taggart served as running backs coach for Jim Harbaugh at Stanford from 2007-09 and is credited with helping to recruit Andrew Luck. Harbaugh had recruited Taggart, a quarterback, to play at Western Kentucky under father Jack Harbaugh from 1995-98.After taking over when Kelly left in 2013, Helfrich went 37-16 in his four seasons as head coach of the Ducks. He signed a contract extension in early 2015, and had an $11.6 million buyout.Just two seasons ago, Oregon went to the first College Football Playoff championship game, led by Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota.But the Ducks struggled this season with a five-game losing streak -- the programs longest since 1996 -- and finished at the bottom of the Pac-12 North with just two conference wins.In a statement after his dismissal, Helfrich thanked his own family, the campus community, the fans, and his coaches and their families.Finally, to the players -- thank you, and I love you, he said. The future is bright for this young, talented team, and we will be supporting them and their new leadership.Mullens also reportedly interviewed Boise States Bryan Harsin and Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano before settling on Taggart. Kelly, now with the San Francisco 49ers, had said he was not interested in the job, as did former offensive coordinator Scott Frost, now at Central Florida.Taggart leaves USF with four seasons remaining on a five-year, $9 million contract. The deal he received last winter included a provision for a $1.7 million buyout.For the immediate future, Taggart will need to reach out to Oregons recruits. Defensive back Deommodore Lenoir and defensive end Langi Tuifua both previously withdrew verbal commitments.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Gazelle Bleu Ciel Femme . -- Now that hes wearing a $100 million smile, quarterback Matt Ryan is ready to get back to work for the Atlanta Falcons. "Ive always not worried about the business side of it," Ryan said. "I really think as a player, if youre hung up or worried about that or thinking about all those things, youre taking away from what you should be doing." Ryan and the Falcons agreed to a five-year contract extension on Thursday that was being finalized as he led the offence through practice on the first day of training camp. A person familiar with the situation says Ryans extension is for $103.75 million deal, with $59 million guaranteed. The person said Ryan will average $20.75 million during the first three years of the extension. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the terms of the deal had not been announced. Ryan, 28, is entering the sixth and final season of his original rookie contract and will earn a $10 million salary. The NFLs No. 3 overall draft pick of 2008, last season Ryan was invited to the Pro Bowl for the second time. He completed 68.6 per cent of his passes, tops in the NFL. "Id say right now that were glad that we didnt go defensive tackle with the third pick back in 2008," general manager Thomas Dimitroff. "Im excited to have Matt on board for many years to come. Matt provides us with all the requisite traits, on the field as we know, and we feel we does that off the field. Hes a quality person." Ryan rallied Atlanta to victory six times last season, giving him 22 career game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime -- most in the league since he was named the leagues offensive rookie of the year in 2008. The quarterback is 56-22 in his NFL career, but dropped to 1-4 in the playoffs after the Falcons lost the NFC title game at home to San Francisco six months ago. Coach Mike Smith believes that losing those big games has only made Ryan more committed to his work ethic of being one of the first to arrive each day and one of the last to leave. "Matt is the type of the leader that you want to have on your team," Smith said. "I say it all the time -- you win in the locker room first -- and youve got to have guys like Matt Ryan that have the drive and the passion to be the best that they can be. Thats probably the best trait that Matt has." Ryans agent, Tom Condon, also represents Drew Brees and Peyton Manning -- veteran NFL quarterbacks who signed big contracts last year. The New Orleans Saints guaranteed Brees $60.5 million and the Denver Broncos guaranteed Manning $58 million. Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco, who led the Ravens to a Super Bowl title in February, signed the richest contract in league history, a six-year deal worth $120.6 million that guarantees $52 million. Flacco had leverage for a better contract because he was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent. Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez, the NFLs No. 2 career leading receiver, credited Ryan for being a big reason he wanted to come to Atlanta in 2009 and to be lured out of retirement in March. "He had a big smile on his face today, Ill tell you that -- and for a good reason, too," Gonzalez said with a grin. "But I couldnt be happier for him. He deserves it. The franchise deserves him. I know everybodys happy that it got done, and he doesnt have to worry about it now." Adidas Gazelle Homme Pas Cher .

NEW YORK -- Serena Williams has hit a wheelbarrow load of balls into the near and far reaches of Arthur Ashe Stadium following victories over the years, always targeting specific individuals in the crowd. Nike Epic React Flyknit Cheap . She had never managed to get a ball into the intended hands until Tuesday night, following her dazzling 6-3, 6-3 win over Ekaterina Makarova?in the first round of the US Open.It was that kind of night for Williams.I usually pick someone out, she said of the postmatch ritual after her win. They never, never get the ball. Although today, the first time I picked someone out, the guy actually got the ball. That was exciting.Also exciting: Williams performance as she sallies forth in an attempt to move ahead of Steffi Graf and become the first player in the Open era to win 23 Grand Slam singles titles.The match with Makarova was promoted as a stern test of Williams skill and nerve at a seemingly critical juncture in her career. She turned it into a comprehensive statement of her enduring superiority and verve.Williams display of firepower lit up the night sky in Flushing, Queens. She rained down a dozen aces and so many unreturnable serves that only 44 percent of her deliveries became points. Not bad work for a woman whos been suffering a lack of match play because of a sore right shoulder. In fact, her impressive demonstration was the fruit of a workaround mandated by her tender shoulder. In having to pick her spots rather than blast away, she proved that while speed kills, placement tortures.Williams was particularly pleased because in her prematch practice session, her deliveries were flying like wild geese.I didnt hit them as hard as I normally hit them, she said of the 105 and 110 mph aces. I just went for more placement. I didnt go for the big 120s, just the regular.The regular, devastating, down-the-T and out-wide serves that leave even a doubles expert like Makarova, whos a good returner by definition, feeling as if her shoes had grown roots.This also was one of those matches in which Williams seemed to embrace a game plan with more components than a desire to serve big and let the groundstrokes rip. Williams did most of her damage by opening up the court until she could find Makarovas left-handed forehand, which is as lethal but also as unstable as C-4 explosive. Williams broke down that part of Makarovas game consistently.I definitely feel like Im more tactical now, Williams said. But I still have that raw I dont care what is your best shot, Im just going to play my best shot and lets play tennis attitude. I still have that. But I definitely play with a little more tactics.Thats a champions pride speaking. But Williams turns 35 in September. She has injuries, large and small. They demand concessions, one of which inevitably is a greater reliance on strategy and tactics. She had no pressing need to work a Plan B on Tuesday, but her willingness to do it on a night when her movement was outstanding just made her that much tougher.Its all I could do with a shoulder injury, was movement, she said. I couldnt hit any balls [leading up to the tournament]. I wanted to stay fit, so ... I guess that kind of helped me out a little bit.Williams is a great champion, so she bears great champions burdens. Every question she answers leads to more questions because more is never enough, and in her case never will be until she finally decides to set aside her rackets for good.The question now is, what can she do to keep this up? The great obstacle for players in their waning years is that they lack the intensity and innate drive of youngsters. They come up flat more frequently. Its the most natural process in the world.Williams tries to avoid that pitfall by telling herself how much better she can be. She said, I think I can improve a lot. I think I can get a lot better. I feel like theres much, much more I can do. Thats the only thing I can do is do that.A better Williams than we saw on Tuesday night is nearly unimaginable. But making the unimaginable real has been this womans stock in trade for a long time now.

PITTSBURGH -- Don Mattingly looked at the group of media assembled in front of him and smiled.Youre going to need a whole new notebook to write down everything that happened in this game, the Miami Marlins manager said Friday night.Robert Andino hit a tiebreaking single in the top of the ninth inning, then the Marlins got Andrew McCutchen to ground into a game-ending double play with the bases loaded to hold off Pittsburgh 6-5 in a matchup of NL wild-card contenders.Anytime you get a win now, its big and it gives you momentum, at least until the next day, Mattingly said. Its important for our guys to be in this situation, where theyve playing important games at this time of year. We have a lot of guys who havent been through it before.JT Realmuto, who homered in going 3 for 3, drew a leadoff walk in the Miami ninth from Neftali Feliz (4-1). Realmuto moved up on a sacrifice bunt and scored when Andino lined his single into left field.Feliz throws really hard and you know its going to be a tough at-bat, Andino said. I just wanted to put the best swing on it that I could and it worked out.Christian Yelich and Miguel Rojas also each had three hits and a homer as the Marlins won for just the third time in nine games. The Pirates loss was their second in eight games.Fernando Rodney wound up with his 22nd save in 24 opportunities. He issued an intentional walk to Starling Marte -- who already had three hits -- to load the bases for McCutchen.The former NL MVP stayed stuck in a season-long slump when he bounced into a double play.Its a tough decision, Mattingly said. At least, we have a (potential) force play if we load the bases, so if we get a ground ball then we have a chance to get (a double play).Nick Wittgren (4-2) pitched a scoreless eighth.The Marlins scored twice in the eighth off Felipe Rivero to make it 5-all. Nike Epic React Triple Black. Rojas hit a solo homer, his first of the season, and Dee Gordon reached on a double error by third baseman Jung Ho Kang with two outs and came home on Yelichs single.The Pirates went ahead 5-3 with a three-run seventh.

Ramos (fractured right middle finger) pitched a simulated game and the closer could be activated from the disabled list Sunday after being out since Aug. 9.MARLINS MOVE1B Xavier Scruggs was in the Marlins lineup and went 1 for 3 with a walk after his contract was selected from Triple-A New Orleans.
