SAO PAULO -- Brazil didnt need Marta to win at the Rio Games. All it took was a speech from its ex-coach and a couple of goals from its latest wonder kid.A call of support from Luiz Felipe Scolari and goals by promising youngster Gabigol helped put Brazil back on track at the Olympic tournament -- the hosts defeated Denmark 4-0 on Wednesday to reach the quarterfinals and keep alive their hopes of winning the gold medal for the first time.Brazil was in danger of an embarrassing elimination at home after struggling in the first two games, when frustrated fans jeered Neymar was jeered and the name of womens star Marta was brought up by Brazilians as a solution. Fans chanted that Marta was better than Neymar several times across soccer host cities.Olympic coach Rogerio Micale, in his first high-profile job, admitted he was struggling.He got some help from a man with plenty of experience dealing with both success and adversity: Scolari, Brazils coach when it won the 2002 World Cup and when it was eliminated by Germany in the historic 7-1 loss in the semifinals of the 2014 World Cup at home.I got a call from Felipao. He showed his support, wished me luck, said he had trust in the work being done, the 47-year-old Micale said. It was a great honor to know that he was worried with this situation all the way back in China (where he coaches). It shows what a great coach and what a great man he is.Scolari went through similar difficulties before the 2002 World Cup, when Brazils national team didnt have the support of the home fans after almost failing to qualify to the tournament in South Korea and Japan.He is a coach with experience, Micale said. He understands this moment that we were going through. He wanted to encourage us.Micale said he has also been getting support from senior team coach Tite, who made an important visit to the team after the disappointing scoreless draws against South Africa and Iraq.Its always important to have Tite around us, he said. His experience is always welcomed.The easy going Micale has been Brazils under-23 coach but was not expected to be head of the team at the Olympics. He was given the job when Dunga was fired and replaced by Tite, who didnt want to take over both national teams.Micale said he was relieved after Brazil escaped elimination with the win against Denmark on Wednesday, with goals from Gabigol and also from Luan and Gabriel Jesus, another promising star who was yet to show his potential despite high expectations. Gabriel Jesus reached a multimillion-dollar deal to transfer to Manchester City just before the tournament began, while Gabigol is expected to soon make the move to European soccer. Both players had struggled in the first two matches.Barcelonas Neymar also played better on Wednesday.The effort was there in the first matches, we tried hard but the results didnt happen, Neymar said. This time we had more patience and we were able to score goals and get the result we wanted. The fans want to see goals and that didnt happen in the previous games, so they get a little upset, but they need to understand that we are not here to joke around. We are here to play football and do our best.Brazil, which will play Colombia in the quarterfinals on Saturday in Sao Paulo, remains the main favorite to win the Olympic gold, which is the only major trophy the five-time World Cup champions havent won in soccer.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni.

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford.

Air Force 1 2020 . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. Since representatives for unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin and secondary titlist Daniel Jacobs have been unable to make a deal for a mandatory fight for the past three-plus months, the WBA on Wednesday formally ordered a purse bid.The purse bid, which is open to all WBA-registered promoters, will take place Dec. 19 at the WBA offices in Panama City, Panama. The winning bidder will gain promotional control of the bout.Golovkin, 34, is entitled to 75 percent of the winning bid and Jacobs, 29, will receive the remaining 25 percent. The minimum bid is $400,000, but the winning bid likely will be several million dollars.K2 Promotions managing director Tom Loeffler, Golovkins promoter, has been locked in talks with Jacobs adviser Al Haymon for months, but they have not been able to make a deal. But Loeffler, with a well-earned reputation as a deal-maker, said he remains hopeful they will reach a deal before the purse bids are unsealed.Still planning to have a deal done with Jacobs before the bid deadline, Loeffler, who was traveling in Germany, told ESPN by email after the purse bid order was announced.Haymon does not speak to the media and a spokesman for him declined to comment.Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) of Brooklyn, New York, knocked out Sergio Mora in thhe seventh round of their rematch on Sept.dddddddddddd 9 to retain his secondary belt for the fourth time. The next day, Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) stopped Kell Brook in the fifth round in London to retain his title for the 17th time as he scored his 23rd knockout in a row. The camps initially hoped to have a deal done in time for the fight to take place Dec. 10 in New York, but when they could not reach an agreement they decided to push the fight into 2017.The new target date is March 18 at New Yorks Madison Square Garden. Golovkin, a Kazakhstan native, is based in Santa Monica, California. He is under contract to HBO, and there is talk that the fight could wind up on HBO PPV rather than the HBO network as originally planned.The big hang up in negotiations appears to be the purse split. The Jacobs camp asked the WBA to adjust the split from the usual 75-25 to 60-40 in Golovkins favor. However, the WBA rejected the request.Although Loeffler has said many times their side is willing to cut Jacobs in for more than the 25 percent he is entitled to, he would not go as high as 40 percent for Jacobs, who is not the proven draw that Golovkin is.
