phs and take photos in advance of the highly anticipated friendly match between Canada and the U.S.” When BMO first
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher believes Mousa Dembele will not play again this season after being caught eye gouging Diego Costa.Tensions flared during Mondays Premier League clash between Chelsea and Tottenham when Danny Rose upended Willian, causing Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino to enter the field to separate the players.As the two sets of teams joined in the fracas, Spurs Dembele was caught on camera pushing his finger into the eye of Chelseas Costa. Referee Mark Clattenburg did not see the incident but replays appeared to show the referees assistant, Simon Beck, looking straight at the pair.Carragher believes the FA will take retrospective action over the incident, as they did when Dembeles team-mate Dele Alli was banned for three games for punching West Broms Claudio Yacob last week. Costa did not look happy after being on the receiving end It is shocking, Carragher said on Monday Night Football.The man he (Dembele) is up against, Costa, how many times has he been seen doing things like this? Thats the end of Dembeles season, there is no doubt about that.Carragher was also scathing of Beck and believes the linesman bottled the chance to punish the Tottenham midfielder. Costa and Dembele grappled in the first half He cant not have seen that, Carragher added.There is no doubt Mark Clattenburg has been lenient and I dont mind officials being lenient in big games. But incidents like that, the linesman is looking straight at it and he froze and has bottled his decision.Also See:As it happenedPremier League videoTableLive on SkyGet Sky SportsGet a £10 free bet!Dante Bayern Munich Jersey . Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end. Young scored a season-high 26 points to spark a huge effort from the leagues most productive bench, and Los Angeles beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night after blowing a 27-point lead. Leon Goretzka Bayern Munich Jersey . Kiriasis and brakeman Franziska Fritz finished two runs in one minute 55.41 seconds -- a mere 0.01 seconds ahead of Meyers and Lolo Jones, who likely bolstered her Olympic hopes by helping give USA-1 a huge push in the second heat. http://www.soccerfcbayernshop.com/kids-felix-gotze-munich-jersey/ . The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona. Joshua Kimmich Bayern Munich Jersey . Perez, 35, posted a 1-2 record with a 3.69 earned-run average in 19 relief appearances last season. His season ended Aug. 9 due to a torn ligament in his left elbow. Perez joins infielder Andy LaRoche and catcher Mike Nickeas with minor-league agreements for 2014 that include invitations to attend spring training. Mehdi Benatia Jersey . Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level.Be it Chicago, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh or Boston, whoever perseveres in this years Stanley Cup Final, the next day their fans will flock downtown for the victory parade. It doesnt quite work that way when you win soccer bronze at London 2012. Now some 10 months on from last summers Olympics, Canada finally gets to celebrate on home soil the astonishing journey of the Womens National Team Sunday afternoon at BMO Field. Adding an extra layer of spiced cake to the occasion, those damned Gold medal-winning, Centennial-celebrating, formidable U.S. team play the role of invited guests. When tickets went on sale in late March the public responded so well that all 20,000-plus tickets sold out in about the same amount as time as it takes Abby Wambach to count to six very loudly. Thats all for the history books now. What cant be forgotten though is that a seismic shift of the soccer platelets occurred when Christiana Pederson blew the final whistle at Old Trafford. If the immediate dramatic upward shift of interest in soccer across the country were a share price the Mounties would have immediately been called in to investigate a case of insider trading. Although soccer stabilized to its newly-revised lofty equilibrium over the winter another shift along the demand curve has occurred this week. Whilst the mens team were lamenting Tuesday nights defeat to Cost Rica in Edmonton, the buzz and excitement around Toronto as the Womens National Team prepared for what is set to be one of the biggest occasions in the 100-plus year history of the CSA has not gone unnoticed. Ever since Christine Sinclair led her nation out as flag bearer during the closing ceremonies at London, the national governing body has slowly but very assuredly inked new partner agreements behind the scenes. With each new partner deal the CSAs over-reliance on fees from soccer clubs and associations across the nation diminishes dramatically. As a result any thought of any more dramatic increase to those fees become a thing of the past, a relic. Its no coincidence, then - in a week where the spotlight is shining so brightly on the WNT - that the CSA announced the latest corporate partner to jump on board: a manufacturer of sun protection products. Following practice on Thursday evening Christine Sinclair proclaimed to the media that since London 2012, “Life has changed for a lot of us.” Although Sinclair was speaking specifically about her fellow WNT players she may also have been speaking about the burgeoning corporate squad which now surrounds and embraces Canadian soccer. Two of the more prominent ones - Bank of Montreal and Umbro - have been mightily active this week as they utilize the regal stage of Sunday afternoons encounter to showcase themselves to a growing and captivated audience. Umbro - identifying the public practice at BMO on Thursday as best opportunity to launch the WNTs new aaway kits – marked the culmination of 2012s centenary season with bronze in London.dddddddddddd Third place on the podium it may have been, but it may as well have been gold to the nations apparel manufacturer. “After the Olympic bronze medal performance we saw an immediate 40 percent spike above anticipated demand,” Umbro Canada V P Mike Shoemaker disclosed to TSN.ca yesterday. “The support on both the mens side and womens side led to the largest ever year of CSA jersey sales,” he added. “The centenary kit sold out of our limited run and we continued that trend on all CSA product through the year.” “Thursday nights launch showed us yet again that with success on the pitch and Umbro Canada continuing to provide new and innovative products, the fans will continue to support,” Shoemaker concluded. BMO, who first moved into the soccer space when the national soccer stadium was developed, also formed a partnership with Canadas first MLS club ahead of Toronto FC beginning play back in 2007. Over barren years for Canadian soccer BMO stayed the course and has continually reinvested in the beautiful game across the nation. The sponsors have provided desperately needed oxygen for the nations grass roots. “As the bank of soccer in Canada, BMO supports all aspects of the Beautiful Game in Canada - from the jerseys of local teams across the country to BMO Field in Toronto,” said Susan Bundy, director of sponsorships at BMO Financial Group told TSN.ca yesterday. “At the national level, BMO has been a proud supporter of the Canadian Soccer Association for more than six years.” Yesterday at BMOs flagship branch in downtown Toronto fans were given opportunity to get up close and personal to their new idols - something altogether rather unimaginable pre-London 2012. Bundy explained: “Fans were able to meet their favourite players, get autographs and take photos in advance of the highly anticipated friendly match between Canada and the U.S.” When BMO first gambled on allocating sponsorship dollars with Canadian soccer back in fall 2006 the business of the sport was rudderless. Over these intervening years we have witnessed many of Canadas best known companies play out the business of soccer as they jostle for space on the pitch. Demand continues to grow. Meanwhile for Sundays match itself and as the configuration process of BMO Field has been completed, the CSA was able to announce on Friday additional seats were now available. Adding to soccers newfound lustre some of those tickets are for seats at premium field-side tables where you will be so close to the action you might be able to hear Abby Wambach count.
