Ozan Tufan's stunning injury-time strike gave Turkey a 2-1 friendly victory over Denmark in Odense.

Bursaspor's teenage midfielder Tufan came off the bench with 14 minutes remaining of Wednesday's clash, and he opened his full international account in style with an unstoppable 25-yard drive that arrowed past Kasper Schmeichel.

The 19-year-old's wondergoal completed a remarkable turnaround for Turkey, who had trailed to a Daniel Agger penalty at the break following an abject first-half display.

However, Olcay Sahan drew Fatih Terim's side level 10 minutes after the interval and Tufan had the final say to take Turkey into their first Euro 2016 qualifier in Iceland on the back of a win.

Denmark completely controlled the opening half of the match, but only took a one-goal lead into half-time courtesy of Agger's 33rd-minute spot-kick.

Nicolai Boilesen was felled in the area by Ahmet Ozek and captain Agger, who made an emotional return to first club Brondby from Liverpool last week, stepped up to send Onur Kivrak the wrong way.

A lacklustre Turkey side - shorn of rested star names Arda Turan and Hakan Calhanoglu, who were both on the bench - struggled to cope with Denmark in the opening stages, although the hosts found it tough to penetrate Terim's compact team.

Predictably, playmaker Christian Eriksen was the man to carve out the hosts' first chance Air Jordans for Sale of the game after nine minutes.

The Tottenham attacking midfielder Buy Running Shoes produced a typically precise free-kick delivery from the right that was only cleared to Agger, whose goal-bound right-footed shot was blocked.

Denmark's other dangerman, Lasse Schone, was next to create an opportunity, but Bayern Munich teenager Pierre Emil Hojbjerg could only fire over the crossbar from 15 yards following a low cross.

Peter Ankersen then forced Kivrak into a decent save as the hosts continued to press, but it took Agger's cool penalty just after the half-hour mark to break the deadlock.

Despite Denmark's dominance, Sahan should have equalised just six minutes after Agger's opener, but he blazed over the top after Ankersen had made a mess of a clearance.

But the Besiktas man made amends shortly after half-time when he drew Turkey level with a smart finish in the 55th minute.

Sahan Cheap Nike Footwear Online raced onto Olcan Adin's well-weighted pass, wrong-footed Leon Andreasen and calmly placed his shot beyond Schmeichel.

Chances were few and far between after Sahan's strike, although the introduction of winger Turan just after the hour improved Turkey.

And it was the Atletico Madrid man who fed Tufan to strike the winner in injury time, the youngster taking aim and rifling past the helpless Schmeichel to give his side an unlikely victory

Prize Exhibit can land the upgraded Country Gentleman’s Association Dick Poole Fillies’ Stakes at Salisbury today. She has two victories to her name already, both by nine lengths, but her most recent success was far more eyecatching than her win on the all-weather.

Her stiffest task to date came in a very valuable nursery at Newmarket, won by Eve Johnson Houghton’s Zifena with Hugo Palmer’s New Providence in third. Prize Exhibit was fourth, but conceding lumps of weight to that pair Air Max 90 For Sale so she should be able to turn the tables. Last time out in a decent little conditions race at Nottingham, she beat a field of previous winners without coming off the bridle and certainly looks capable of holding her own at this Group Three level, if not higher.

Richard Hannon’s Marsh Hawk is the unknown quantity having won her maiden by seven lengths but she stole a lead on leaving the stalls that day and may have been flattered. Second behind Marsh Hawk at Newmarket was the Barry Hills-trained Fadhayyil and she should have no trouble Cheap Air Max Shoes opening her account in the second division of the Virginia Walwyn Memorial EBF Quidhampton Maiden Fillies’ Stakes.

Sent off favourite to beat the Hannon flyer, she holds entries in the Rockfel and Cheveley Park and looks sure to benefit from her first run.

Andrew Balding’s Rawaki looks the pick in a tight “CGA” Air Max 2014 for Sale Persian Punch Conditions Stakes. Only four line up but there is nothing between them on the ratings, although Rawaki went close in a strong renewal of the Geoffrey Freer last time out and that probably represents the strongest form on offer.

Michael Stoute’s Dissolution was sent off favourite to win a competitive Convivial Maiden at York and the step up in trip for the Betfred Jack Berry MBE Maiden at Haydock looks sure to suit.

Fifth on his debut, he was expected to show the benefit of that last time out but did all his best work at the end having been caught flat footed. Racing over a mile in lesser company should enable him to open his account.

Roger Charlton’s Skate caught a tartar in Aces at Windsor but beat the rest comfortably and unless a newcomer is above average, he should win the second division of the Betfred Supports Jack Berry EBF Maiden Stakes.

Ann Duffield’s Marsh Pride ran out a ready winner at Ripon on her debut having initially looked outpaced and with that under her belt she can take Air Max for sale a step forward in the Free Bets At Monsterbet Novice Auction Stakes at Wolverhampton. The second and fifth both came out and finished second on their next outing so the form may be fairly decent.

John Ferguson’s My Direction has been unextended in winning his last two and should go in again in the My Mate Nigel Vaulkhard Conditional Jockeys’ Novices’ Hurdle at Sedgefield.

Ramires and his Brazil team-mates are eager to move on from their World Cup disappointment and begin a new era against Colombia on Friday.

Dunga's second spell in charge of the national team begins with the Miami friendly and a win would provide a welcome morale boost following Brazil's World Cup anguish.

The tournament hosts were embarrassed in a 7-1 semi-final defeat to Germany and only fared slightly better in the third-place play-off, which they lost 3-0 to the Netherlands.

Luis Felipe Scolari resigned as a result, paving the way for the 50-year-old Dunga - who captained Brazil to victory at the 1994 World Cup and also coached them at the 2010 tournament – to return.

His desire for change was demonstrated when he selected just 10 players from Scolari's World Cup squad in a 22-man party to face Colombia.

Although that figure rose to 11 when Marcelo was a late call-up to replace the injured Alex Sandro, it reverted back to 10 as Hulk withdrew with a thigh problem.

Robinho, who has 92 Brazil caps, won a surprise recall to replace Zenit forward Hulk in a squad initially headlined by the omissions of goalkeeper Julio Cesar and defender Dani Alves.

Brazil captain Thiago Silva is absent (hamstring) for the rematch of their World Cup quarter-final, but Neymar – who seriously injured his back in that previous meeting with Colombia and was sidelined for more than six weeks – will feature.

Midfielder Ramires is hopeful Dunga can help Brazil embark on an era of success.

"We will try to do what Dunga asks so that we can return to what was Brazilian soccer and what will always be Brazilian soccer," the Chelsea midfielder told a news conference.

"Brazil isn't just one World Cup. This World Cup Cheap Air Max 2014 didn't end happily, but we have other World Cups in the future."

While this week's match is classed as a friendly, the stakes are high for a Brazil side desperate for redemption and they can expect to receive partisan support in Miami.

Victory for either side would offer a lift ahead of South American World Cup qualifying, which is expected to be hotly contested ahead of the 2018 tournament in Russia.

While most of the headlines have gone to Brazil ahead of the game, the likes of James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao could help Colombia spoil the party at the Sun Life Stadium.

Colombia's run to the last eight at the World Cup, Cheap Air Max 2013 inspired by Rodriguez's tournament-high six goals, was one of the stories of the tournament Air Max 90 Hyperfuse and Jose Pekerman's side will surely be out for revenge against the side who ended their campaign.

Like Brazil, Colombia will be playing their first match since the World Cup and new Manchester United signing Falcao will be desperate to make his mark after missing the showpiece with a knee problem.

Defender Juan Zuniga, the man responsible for injuring Neymar with what Thiago Silva dubbed a "coward's tackle", has not been selected.

The match is the first of two in the US for Brazil, who play Ecuador in New Jersey on Tuesday.

« : 04 Ñåíòÿáðü 2014, 09:46:23 »

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill believes his players will reap the benefits of a 2-0 friendly win over Oman on Wednesday.

Kevin Doyle and Alex Pearce scored to send Ireland into their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign on a positive note.

And O'Neill feels the match will have been hugely beneficial for the likes of Doyle and Darron Gibson, who have not featured domestically so far this season.

"You could see that the game was important to us because some players Air Max Engineered Mesh definitely needed it," he said. "Darron Gibson was getting very tired because he has trained with Everton all pre-season but he hasn't actually played a competitive game.

"There were a number of players in the same boat and I think it Air Max Shoes Sale showed."

But O'Neill stressed the importance of getting up to speed quickly ahead of Sunday's opening qualifier in Georgia.

"We had plenty of possession and we played some nice stuff but we weren't really able to finish it off," he continued. "In the dressing room, the players said that there are improvements in this side.

"We think that, but time is pressing and we have that big game on Sunday."

O'Neill made six substitutions during the course of the second half, and the 67-year-old believes the replacements gave his side the required lift to put the game to bed.

"I Air Max 2014 Men thought when the substitutions came on they gave us a little more life and energy and a little more impact," he added. "We maybe scored the second goal because of that.

"It was important for us to win the game because it gave us a bit of confidence."

"Despite the fact that we can improve, I thought we were reasonably comfortable without that real incision but you can say that is the history of the Republic [of Ireland]."

Shay Given is unlikely to have had a quieter halves in the 125 caps he amassed prior to last night’s return to the international stage against Oman.
The Donegal man had one save to make in those 45 minutes, there wasn’t much to get the blood up, but he was clearly happy with his decision to reverse his retirement plans.
“You could probably have played in goals,” he told one reporter afterwards. “It was very quiet obviously, very little to do. I had more to do in the warm up. It was probably more about preparing for the mental side of the game again - coming here to the Aviva and rolling out playing for Ireland again.
“It’s a special thing to play for your country and it was nice to pull the jersey back on again.”
There were no nerves, no at this stage of his career.
“Just more excitement to get playing than nerves. It’s nice to run out in Dublin again and even just flying over on the plane to meet up with the squad again Cheap Nike Air Max Shoes was a strange but nice feeling. It felt good to be back on the pitch.”
Captain for the night Richard Keogh described getting the armband as the “proudest moment of my career by a long way.”
“It was a really proud moment and very humbling. It is nice that the gaffer thinks of me like that and hopefully I’ll repay him with my performances. I’m just looking to kick on now, it is great to be part of the squad, the lads are fantastic and I really enjoy meeting up every time I get here.”
He had no time to settle in to the role having been told “just before the game”.
“It is something that will live with me forever. When the manager said to me I was a bit shocked, obviously immensely proud. The lads were fantastic to me and congratulated me.”
Shane Air Max 90 sale Long got 30 minutes off the bench when Martin O’Neill called goalscorer Kevin Doyle, Wes Hoolahan and Anthony Pilkington ashore and brought the Southampton striker on with Robbie Keane and Aiden McGeady.
Despite the extra competition it will inevitably bring, Long was pleased to see his former Reading team-mate Doyle back amongst the goals, his first half header from Robbie Brady’s corner having given Ireland the lead in the 20th minute.
“Delighted for him, it’s been tough for him for a while now,” said the Tipperary man. “From outside the club (Wolves) I can’t understand it because he’s a good player, you saw that tonight, Crystal Palace have done very well to get him on loan. It’s nice for him to get a couple of minutes under his belt and get the goal. I’m sure he’s just looking forward to getting back playing football at Palace.
It was a “good win” and “a good half hour” for Long.
“They sat in deep and it was hard to break them down, but a 2-0 win, a clean sheet, it’s positive.”
He added: “I think the most important thing was the lads showing confidence on the ball and the way we played football, we didn’t just lump it and try and get in behind them, we kept possession and passed it around well and hopefully got a bit of confidence going into Sunday (against Georgia).”
Long dismissed the notion that he, Doyle and Keane might be fighting for one place up top, pointing to the fact the fact he and LA Galaxy striker played as a two-man strikeforce after coming on after Hoolahan operated in behind Doyle.
“No, me and Robbie came on and brought a different style of game to Oman and caused them problems. Robbie can drop in and Air Max 2014 women test in behind, I’m more prone to getting in behind and dropping out wide to get the ball.
“It depends on what the gaffer thinks will affect Georgia the most defensively. He’s got a few options and he’ll have a headache to select 11 players never mind the front two. Hopefully I’ve put myself in his mind.”
As for who gets the nod between the posts in Tblisi, Given insisted there has been no indication as yet, with David Forde and Keiren Westwood in the frame as well.
“Not yet,” he said, but he’s keen now he’s back.
