ayer and Marouane Fellaini -- the wrong way with his hip-swiveling turn on a dime, dragging the ball around with him with his le Antworten

The year of the underdog keeps going from strength to strength.After Leicester City won the Premier League, Wales is now in the European Championship semifinals.Yes, Wales.The country of 3 million people that hasnt played in a major tournament since a goal from 17-year-old Pele put it out of the 1958 World Cup will now get to measure itself against Cristiano Ronaldos Portugal.It did it the hard way: beating Belgiums so-called golden generation of players -- again failing to live up to that billing -- 3-1 in a pulsating match on Friday.Here are five things to know from an astounding result in Lille.---SIGN HIM UP!Hal Robson-Kanus goal that gave Wales a 2-1 lead would have made Johan Cruyff, the master of the head-spinning turn, proud.And this from a forward who is out of contract at his club, Reading from Englands second-tier Championship.Quick, boss, sign him up!Collecting Aaron Ramseys cross from the right, Robson-Kanu sent three Belgium players -- defenders Thomas Meunier and Jason Denayer and Marouane Fellaini -- the wrong way with his hip-swiveling turn on a dime, dragging the ball around with him with his left foot.Having made that space for himself, he then coolly fired past Belgium `keeper Thibaut Courtois, again with his left, with all the ruthlessness of Lionel Messi.Robson-Kanu also scored Wales winner in a 2-1 victory in its opening European Championship game against Slovakia.Surely, hell not be without a club for long.---LAME LUKAKUWhile Robson-Kanu put away his chances, Romelu Lukaku squandered them.Among the defining images of Belgiums hot-and-cold Euro 2016 campaign will be the Everton striker with a pained look on his face, ruing another missed opportunity. His failure to have a big impact up front was a fatal weakness in a team bursting with the creative talent of Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne.The striker should have scored after seven minutes in Lille when, loosely marked by Wales captain Ashley Williams, he didnt react sharply enough to an inviting ball off a corner.Early in the second half, with Wales under sustained pressure, Lukaku found space in the Wales backline between Williams and James Chester and had time and space to power Meuniers cross past `keeper Wayne Hennessey. Instead, he mistimed his jump and headed the ball wide.Lame.At the other end for Wales, unheralded second-half substitute Sam Vokes showed Belgium how it is done: His perfectly judged glancing header off Chris Gunters cross secured the come-from-behind win for Wales.---WALES SHOWED CHARACTERRadja Nainggolans strike from 30 meters gave Belgium a deserved 1-0 lead after 13 minutes. It was a hammer blow for the Welsh and the disappointment was etched into the face of its star, Gareth Bale.But the Welsh didnt wilt. If anything, falling behind galvanized Chris Colemans team. In a sustained passage of attacking play, they piled players forward.Belgiums players made the mistake of falling back, curbing the forward momentum that had so rattled and stretched Wales in the opening minutes.That Neil Taylor, a defender, nearly got Wales equalizer was a measure of how many Welsh players surged forward. Taylors shot off a cross from Ramsey drew a fabulous reflex double-handed save from Courtois.Six minutes later, Wales efforts paid off, with Williamss headed equalizer.It was deserved.---GOOD NEWS FOR GUNNERSArsenal fans will have liked what they saw from Ramsey, their midfielder, in his Wales shirt against Belgium.Easily recognizable in central midfield with his peroxide blonde hair, Ramsey was the go-between for many of Wales forward forays. He played a key role in Wales equalizer and in Robson-Kanus goal that gave Wales the lead in the 55th minute.For Wales first goal, Ramsey picked out Robson-Kanu on the right wing. The forward muscled past Denayer and won a corner. Ramsey took the kick and it was perfect, landing in the danger area just in front of Courtois.Admittedly, Belgiums marking was woeful, leaving Williams free to run in and stoop his header in.After a surging run, Ramsey also picked out Robson-Kanu with a cross for his goal.If he plays with such vigor and style for Arsenal next season, manager Arsene Wenger will be rubbing his hands in glee.--A COSTLY VICTORY?Unfortunately for Wales, Ramsey will miss the semifinal against Portugal after picking up his second yellow card for a second-half handball. The loss will deprive Wales of its most prolific passer against Belgium.Also suspended will be defender Ben Davies.On the bright side: When Wales players came home from the 1958 World Cup, they were greeted with no fanfare at all, according to Paul Peters book, The Road to 1958. When they arrived by train in Swansea, a ticket collector asked them if theyd been on holiday.After their history-making exploits in Wales first European Championship, there is zero danger of its players enjoying such anonymity this time.---John Leicester is an international sports columnist for The Associated Press.

Plouffe batted .254 with 14 home runs and 52 RBIs in 477 at-bats last season, his second as a regular in the lineup. Terrell Suggs Jersey Cardinals . Rob Manfred, baseballs chief operating officer, testified last week during the grievance filed by the players union to overturn Rodriguezs 211-game suspension. A person familiar with the hearing, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Manfred testified the sport wasnt concerned whether Bosch distributed performance-enhancing drugs to minors because MLBs interest was his relationship with players under investigation. Larry Fitzgerald Jersey Cheap . Andreas Johnson had a goal and two assists while Jacob de la Rose also scored for Sweden (2-0-0). Esa Lindell and Rasmus Ristolainen replied for Finland (1-1-0) Lindell opened the scoring for Finland just 41 seconds into the game, but the hosts quickly regained their composure and tied the score less than four minutes later on Wennbergs first of the game. Mercedes chief Paddy Lowe thinks Formula One needs to start thinking about how the next set of engine regulations will look when the current cycle ends in 2020.F1s current V6 turbo era started in 2014, but has been criticised due to Mercedes huge dominance and a lack of noise from the engines. The current power units are set to remain until 2020 and Lowe thinks a long-term plan would avoid similar mistakes being made with the next set of rules.When asked about engines after 2020, Lowe said: Thats a good question and its a big question. I think it is about time we started to talk about the engine beyond this one.?And it does raise some very big considerations: how do we define an engine or power unit that is correct for the sport but also relevant to the kind of power units that we will see in the future in road cars? Do we make remain in some way related attached to that technology which is increasingly electrical or do we go our own way? So there are some very very important questions there.Lowe thinks the sound of the engines needs to be a key consideration post-2020 -- especially if F1 wants to remain relevant to road cars.That debate started really with the issue of the sound of these engines when they arriveed in 2014.dddddddddddd Its better now than it was back then but it doesnt match the sound of the old V8s or the V10s but it still raises an interesting debate.I think road cars of the future, at some point not that far off, will be completely silent if they are all electrical so will we want noise, will we associate noise with performance or not? There are some very interesting debates there and I think we need to start that process.Ferraris Jock Clear agreed with Lowe, saying it is important to give teams plenty of time to understand what the regulations will look like.It needs to be thought about. I think what we have learned from this cycle and this era of hybrid engines is that the power units now are very, very complicated and it needs a lot of planning and I think well go into those next negotiations with eyes wide open this time.I dont think theres anybody who didnt fall into the category of underestimating what might have been involved, and as such, [so] the sooner we start, the sooner well be aware and the sooner we can come to a solution that will be the best for the sport.
