PARIS -- Germany and a combined Nordic nations bid currently head the possible candidates to host the 2024 European Championship.The leading contenders are clear though they have expressed only unofficial interest for a contest that should be decided in 2018, UEFA interim general secretary Theodore Theodoridis said Tuesday.Turkey had been an expected bidder, after it was edged by France for the hosting rights to Euro 2016 and declined an invitation from UEFA President Michel Platini to bid to host Euro 2020 alone.Now, I dont know if Turkey will like to come back and give it a go, Theodoridis said at a briefing. I dont think so, but you can never know.Germany has focused on a 2024 bid, after leaving England clear to host the semifinals and final of the multi-nation Euro 2020.The Nordic group of soccer federations from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden said in April they wanted to host the tournament either in 2024 or 2028. That bid would seek to stage events in Iceland and the Faroe Islands, too.The four-nation Nordics group also announced this month it was backing Slovenia federation leader Aleksander Ceferin as a candidate to replace the now-suspended Platini in a Sept. 14 election.The other currently declared contender, Michael van Praag, a UEFA vice president from the Netherlands, is reportedly a supporter of Germany for Euro 2024.Still, Theodoridis said the bidding contest should not be a campaign issue in the presidential election voted by UEFAs 55 member federations.Of course, in an election you can never exclude populism but I would not worry about it, Theodoridis said, pointing to UEFAs transparency in publishing technical analysis of the bids. I think it will be quite naive for people to think that they can promise or that they can be promised one thing or the other.European Championship hosts are chosen by the 17-member UEFA executive committee, with members from a candidate country excluded from voting.Theodoridis said he has no plans to enter the presidential contest by the July 20 deadline. The Greek official was deputy general secretary at UEFA until his former boss Gianni Infantino left in February on being elected FIFA president.Infantino is scheduled to attend the Euro 2016 final on July 10, while Platini still has not attended a game in his home country despite an open invitation from UEFA.You can never say never, Theodoridis said. The decision would be for Mr. Platini to make if he wants to come or not.Platini has a home on the south coast near Marseille, where France would play a semifinal on July 7 if it beats Iceland at Saint-Denis on Sunday.

Cheap Air Jordan 3 Wholesale .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox reliever Brad Ziegler felt his location was good in the eighth inning, just not as good as the Yankees.New York rallied from a 2-1 deficit with three runs in the eighth to beat the Red Sox 4-2 on Thursday night, taking two of three in the series and sending Alex Rodriguez out of Boston with one last victory.Rodriguez was 0 for 4, but did get an RBI on a dribbler off Ziegler with the bases loaded to cap the eighth-inning rally. New York had four hits in the inning against Ziegler, including a double by Jacoby Ellsbury with the bases loaded for two runs that put the Yankees up 3-2.I felt like I made a couple pretty good pitches. The one Ellsbury hit wasnt even a strike, Ziegler said. Made a good pitch to A-Rod and got just a little tapper in front of the plate. Thats a pitch a lot of times guys swing and miss or if they do hit it they hit it a little harder than that.Ellsbury had already deflated the mood at Fenway Park with his fly ball to left that Boston rookie Andrew Benintendi misplayed and lost in the lights.It went in the lights, but thats no excuse. I should have caught it, Benintendi said. I tried to put my glove up where I thought it was going to be.Ellsbury, the former Boston outfielder who was booed almost as loudly as Rodriguez, was initially credited with a sacrifice fly and Benintendi charged with an error. The official scoring was changed after the game, giving Ellsbury a two-run double before Rodriguez added a little more pain for the frustrated fans.Rodriguez is set to play his final game for New York on Friday night at Yankee Stadium against Tampa Bay. The slumping 41-year-old will then be released and become an adviser and instructor for the team.Rodriguez lined out, popped out and struck out before his tapper in front of the plate in the eighth allowed Brett Gardner to score from third and put New York up 4-2.He just hit it in a spot where we couldnt do anything about the guy at third, Ziegler said.In 1994, Rodriguez was a teenager with Seattle when he got an infield single at Fenway Park for his first major league hhit.ddddddddddddThe RBI for Rodriguez came after the Red Sox intentionally walked Chase Headley with one out.Dellin Betances earned his third save, striking out Dustin Pedroia and Xander Bogaerts with runners at the corners to end it.Luis Cessa (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings. Brad Ziegler (0-3) got the loss.Boston starter Eduardo Rodriguez gave up one run and three hits in seven innings.Hanley Ramirez drove in both runs for Boston with a single in the first and an RBI double in the fifth off Michael Pineda.Ramirez later was knocked down in a collision by Gary Sanchez while trying to field a bounced throw at first base. Ramirez was checked by a trainer and stayed in the game.FENWAY FAREWELLRodriguez was pleased to have the RBI to remember rather than going 0 for 4 in his final game of the AL East rivalry. He said Boston fans treated him just as he expected to and he wasnt leaving Fenway Park with any grudges.Theyre passionate fans. They love their team, he said.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: RHP Nathan Eovaldi had an MRI on his pitching elbow and was evaluated by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad.
