EDMONTON -- John Wooden, the highly successful former coach of the UCLA Bruins basketball team, once said, "Little things make the big things happen. Brandon LaFell Bengals Jersey ." Canadas team at the womens under-20 World Cup channelled those words last week after a rough start at the tournament. The hosts opened with a loss and were on the verge of elimination after giving up two goals in the first half of their next game against Finland. The "little thing" that helped them was the vocal support of the teams substitute players. It became a motivator that sparked the squad to a 3-2 comeback victory and then a 1-0 win over North Korea that moved Canada into Saturdays quarter-final against Germany at Commonwealth Stadium. Canadian goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan said shes never been on a team thats been so supportive, adding it was a big help at halftime of the France game. "Each individual player was like, You have had a strong game. You may not feel like it but you still have 45 minutes, the opportunity, go out there and prove it," she said. "So we got that message à and went out there and capitalized on opportunities." Now the Canadians have an opportunity to advance to the semifinal. To get there theyll have to contain a surprisingly offensive German team that has scored 12 goals in its three wins. "We know were facing a tough team, one of the best in the world so its going to be a real challenging game," said defender Kylie Davis. "They have had a lot of goals. Theyve always been known to put away their chances and theyve been doing a good job of that. But we put in the work to be ready for it." The favoured German team is clinical and creative, talented and technical, fast and functional. "Theyre very diverse," said Sheridan. "Theyve very strong athletically and they have a lot of technical skills. But they are also very fast so we have to be ready for all kinds of attacks." However, the Canadians are quick to point out the Germans have given up six goals in three games, although five of those came in a surprising 5-5 tie with China. "If youre going to look at the goals for, you should look at the goals against also," said Davis. "Theyre a good team and definitely clinical if you look at their goals for but weve done a lot of work too and score some pretty nice goals. "So hopefully the gates have opened and the flood is coming." An offensive shootout is not expected. Other than those five goals by China, Germany surrendered one goal in its two other victories while Canada has given up three goals in its three games. The Canadians are confident they have the game plan to deal with the German offence. "We have our tactics and our staff does a real good job of providing us tools from the game footage," said Davis. "And we put a lot of work in reviewing that and putting it on the field so were just going to go with the plan." Davis and Sheridan both said one of the keys for Canada is the teams transition game. They hope to keep it fast and effective to make the German attackers hesitate just enough to work to Canadas advantage. "It will be very, very important," Davis said. "Were going to have be very focused and in the right places at the right time." Andy Dalton Jersey .

The Calgary Stampeders announced both moves on Wednesday. Parker played 17 regular season games with the Stampeders in 2013, setting career-highs in catches (21) and yards (217).NEW YORK -- Derek Jeter received warm ovations from the 40,133 at Citi Field when he jogged onto the field during warmups, as a video tribute to him was shown on the scoreboard after the national anthem and before each of his four at-bats. There was little fanfare, though, when the Yankees captain was taken out of his final regular-season Subway Series game in the eighth inning. Jeter watched the last four outs from the bench, pulled off the field during a double switch Thursday night as the Yankees held off the Mets 1-0. "I just told him Im going to make a double-switch. Its where we are in the lineup; thats how you do it," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of the conversation on the mound with two outs in the eighth. "He understands." Its not the first time Jeter had been removed in a double switch in his 133 games at a NL ballpark. He was taken out by Girardi in 2010 and he was lifted by Joe Torre in 2007, according to STATS. David Robertson didnt even know he was brought in to face David Wright in a double switch that lifted Jeter until he got Wright to ground out to Jeters replacement at shortstop, defensive whiz Brendan Ryan, with runners at the corners. Robertson pitched a perfect ninth for his seventh save. Six weeks shy of his 40th birthday, Jeter left after an 0-for-4 night that dropped his batting average to .254. Alfonso Sorianos RBI double in the seventh broke up a scoreless duel at Citi Field between starting pitchers making their major league debuts. Rookie reliever Dellin Betances struck out six straight hitters as the Yankees earned a split of this years series between crosstown rivals with their second straight shutout. "Its impressive," Wright said of Betances. "He had his way with us for sure." In a matchup of late-round picks in the 2010 draft, Yankees starter Chase Whitley (15th round) pitched two-hit ball for 4 2-3 innings, striking out four and walking two. Mets starter Jacob deGrom (ninth round) allowed one run and four hits in seven innings, striking out six and walking two. "It was unbelievable to watch that guy," Whitley said of deGrom. "He pitched a heck of a game." In addition to a commanding performance on the mound, the 25-year-old deGrom helped Mets pitchers end an unusual record for futility. He lined a single to centre field in the third inning to end the staffs 0-for-64 start to the season. The Mets had long passed a century-old record established by the St. Louis Browns. They went hitless in 45 at-bats in 1914, according to information provided by the Mets from the Elias Sports Bureau. Whitley also got a hit in his first at-bat -- even before he allowed a hit.

Young pitchers dominated the series in both games at spacious Citi Field after two slugfests in the Bronx. Masahiro Tanaka pitched his first major league shutout Wednesday, a 4-0 win for the Yankees. After Rafael Montero started his big league career with a fine six-inning performance against Tanaka, deGrom distinguished himself. "Its amazing. You cant say enough good things about those two guys," Wright said. Its been 12 years since a team had pitchers make their big league debuts in consecutive games. Milwaukee did it Sept. 2-3, 2002. Jeter was honoured by the Mets before the game. He received several subway-themed gifts, including a "Cake Boss" creation and a No. 2 mosaic made of subway tiles. The Mets Foundation gave Jeter a $22,222.22 donation to his Turn 2 Foundation. But he did little at the plate. He lined into a double play in the third with runners on first and second. Then with two on in the eighth, he hit a grounder to shortstop Ruben Tejada, who threw home for a tag play at the plate to keep the score 1-0. "Theres a time when the respect for the game takes over and you cant do what you once did," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "The game deserves all you can give it, and if its not there you got to step aside. Some guys have a tough time doing it but the really great ones dont." Soriano lined a double to left-centre and catcher Brian McCann scored from first, sliding home as Tejadas relay forced catcher Juan Centeno to leap for it. McCann reached when first baseman Lucas Duda failed to scoop Wrights relay on a potential double-play grounder. Up until then, the Yankees had little success against the shaggy-haired deGrom. The former college shortstop was initially called up to pitch out of the bullpen, but got the start in place of Dillon Gee, who pulled a lat muscle. The 24-year-old Whitley was not even on the Yankees 40-man roster this winter, but with starters CC Sabathia, Michael Pineda and Ivan Nova all injured, he got the call after just 13 Triple-A starts over three seasons. NOTES: Wright struck out three times. ... Jeter finished with a .364 career regular-season average against the Mets with 13 homers and 44 RBIs in 360 at-bats. ... The Yankees placed OF Carlos Beltran (bone spur) on the 15-day DL. He felt a sharp pain in his right elbow taking practice swings Monday ...
