FRANKFURT - Borussia Dortmund can qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League if it beats Galatasaray in Group D on Tuesday. John Ross Youth Jersey .Then it can focus on staving off relegation in the Bundesliga.Arsenal, too, will be assured of advancing if it beats Anderlecht at home and Dortmund defeats — or draws — the Turkish side.Dortmund has won all three matches so far without conceding a goal and has nine points. Arsenal lost to Dortmund but won the next two and is second with six. Anderlecht and Galatasaray have one point each.Here are some things to know about Tuesdays matches.___DORTMUNDS WOESDespite its perfect record in the Champions League, Dortmund is in big trouble in the Bundesliga.Dortmund has dropped to next-to-last after losing 2-1 at Bayern Munich on Saturday, its fifth consecutive loss. Juergen Klopps team has lost seven of its first 10 matches in the Bundesliga season.The last time Dortmund lost seven of its first 10 was 30 years ago.Dortmund is even on points with last-place Bremen, which has scored more goals. Dortmund, Champions League finalist in 2013 and winner in 1997, is 17 points behind Bundesliga leader Bayern and 13 points away from qualifying for next seasons Champions League.One thing to remember, though: When Dortmund began the Champions League with three straight victories, it won the title, in 1997.___DILEMA IN DefenceDortmund central defender Mats Hummels injured his foot in Munich and will be out for several weeks.Hummels left the game at halftime and then watched his replacement, Neven Subotic, make two crucial mistakes than led to Bayerns come-from-behind victory.Hummels and Subotic formed the backbone of Dortmunds championship sides in 2011 and 2012. But Subotic has been slow in regaining form after sitting out more than half a year with a knee injury.Hummels came back from this years World Cup in Brazil with the title but also with an injury and missed the start of the season. Just as he began returning to form, hes now out again.Klopp could decide to play the experienced Subotic against Galatasaray or give another chance to Matthias Ginter. Ginter was in the World Cup squad and was signed away from Frieburg, but has not had a start since giving away an own-goal six weeks ago.___GOOD IN GERMANYGalatasarays 4-0 home defeat to Dortmund gives it little ground for optimism going to Germany but for one fact: the Istanbul side has always performed well there.Galatasaray has won five in Germany, with five defeats and three draws. With Germanys large Turkish immigrant population, Galatasaray has always enjoyed a lot of support there.Galatasaray has won in four of its last six trips to Bundesliga opposition, losing only once.Five Galatasaray players were born in Germany: Hamit Altintop, Hakan Balta, Tarik Camdal, Furkan Ozcal and Yasin Oztekin.Dortmund has three players with Turkish roots — Nuri Sahin (injured), Ilkay Gundogan and Burak Camoglu.___ARSENAL EYES KNOCKOUT STAGESArsenal can secure its place in the second round if it beats Anderlecht on Tuesday and Galatasaray does not beat Borussia Dortmund.Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez has scored four times in his last two games, spearheading a strike force boosted further by Theo Walcott returning from a torn knee ligament that has kept him out since January.Walcott made a substitute appearance in Arsenals 3-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday, and will want to step up his comeback on Tuesday.Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will hope for a smoother game than the last one against Anderlecht, where two goals in the final two minutes of the match in Belgium secured a dramatic 2-1 victory.___ANDRELECHT ADIEU?If Arsenal already dashed Anderlechts confidence with a belated 2-1 come-from-behind win in Brussels last month, injuries and lacklustre form in the Belgian league have only added to its low morale since.The Belgian champions travel to London without two key players. Belgium international Steven Defour, Anderlechts midfield mainstay, injured his calf during a mediocre 1-1 home draw against Lokeren.Even worse, creative forward Matias Suarez will be out for the rest of the year with a knee injury. It leaves Anderlecht without its star players in two lines, and its attack has been a problem for most of the season.In the league, Anderlecht lead by one point over AA Ghent and two over FC Brugge, with only 27 points out of a possible 42.The Champions League has given it little pleasure, with only a draw against Galatasaray giving some relief. Anderlecht has finished bottom of the group in all seven group-stage campaigns since it reached the last 16 in 2000-01. Joe Mixon Womens Jersey . Canadas 5-1 loss to Finland in the semifinal ranks as the tournaments most-watched game with a record 2.7 million viewers, the largest ever for a World Juniors game played outside of North America, and winning Saturday as the most-watched program on Canadian television. John Ross Jersey . - The Denver Broncos kept rookie wide receiver Tavarres King from joining the Green Bay Packers by promoting him to their active roster Tuesday. http://www.bengalsauthoritystore.com/Authentic-Carl-Lawson-Bengals-Jersey/ . Maria Silvia Bastos Marques, president of the EOM (Municipal Olympic Company), will be leaving her post but will remain as an advisor, a city hall statement said Tuesday.While the Dallas Cowboys have been led primarily to the divisional round by three players, the Green Bay Packers have been led by four – Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Eddie Lacy. Rodgers, a first-team All-Pro, is the focal of the Packers potent offence, and for good reason. Rodgers is viewed as the frontrunner to win his second Most Valuable Player award this season and threw 38 touchdowns to just five interceptions – none of which came at home. At Lambeau Field this season, the 31-year-old threw 25 passing touchdowns and with no picks in 240 attempts. His passer rating on the Frozen Tundra finished at a ridiculous 133.2 this season, while his average yards per pass sat at 9.73 – two yards higher than on the road. While the Cowboys went undefeated on the road, the Packers were a perfect 8-0 at home. One of those records will be blemished when the two meet on Sunday with a spot in the NFC Championship on the line. Rodgers likely will not enter this matchup at 100 per cent, however, after suffering a calf injury late in the season. The injury was first suffered in the Packers late October loss to the New Orleans Saints, but Rodgers appeared to return to full health after the Packers Week 9 bye. Unfortunately for the Packers, the quarterback appeared to aggravate the injury in Week 16 against the Buccaneers. With the NFC North crown on the line in Week 17, the injury forced Rodgers to exit briefly after throwing a touchdown pass to Randall Cobb against the Detroit Lions. Rodgers returned after missing two series and finished the game with 226 yards and two touchdowns while throwing just five incompletions. Though he appeared to avoid serious injury once he returned, having Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh step on his injured leg likely did not help the healing process. Rodgers took the Packers entire bye week off and will not practice until Thursday. Both throughout the season and against the Lions, Rodgers did not achieve his passing success alone. Second-team All-Pro wide receiver Jordy Nelson and Cobb, a dynamic playmaker, both finished in the top-11 in receiving yards this season and ranked third and fourth in touchdown receptions, respectively. Nelson enjoyed the best season of his seven-year career in 2014 and established himself as one of the NFLs elite receivers. Nelson saw career-highs in targets, receptions and yards this season, while eclipsing 100 yards seven times and 200 yards once. The 29-year-old rankedd 10th in yards after the catch this season with 481 and was held without a touchdown just six times – including in all four losses. Josh Malone Womens Jersey. Cobb, who is likely the Packers most versatile player, lined up on the outside, in the slot and in the backfield this season for the Packers. He and Nelson each picked up 71 first down receptions this season, the most by any receiving duo in the league. The 24-year-old impending free agent totalled a career-high 1,287 yards receiving this season and had five 100-yard games of his own. As the Packers attempted to catch defences by surprise, Cobb also received 11 carries for 37 yards. Though Cobb opened the year fantasy football hero with 10 touchdowns in his first nine games, he went through a six week scoring drought before finding paydirt twice against the Detroit Lions in Week 17. Containing the Packers two receiving threats will be among the top priorities for Cowboys on Sunday when the two teams kickoff. Headlines often credited Rodgers and his two top targets for victories throughout the Packers 12-win season, running back Eddie Lacy brought balance to offence and opened passing lanes for his teammates success. Though Lacy struggled early in the season – just one game with over 90 rushing yards in ten weeks – the second-year pro was held under 90 yards just once in the teams final six games. Lacys hard-nosed running style allowed him to pick up 100 yards against the Lions in the Packers regular season finale, while Cowboys star DeMarco Murray was held to 75 on one less carry against the same defence one week later. The Cowboys defence, who ranked 25th against the run this season, could struggle against Lacy, especially in their front is missing linebacker Rolando McClain. The starting middle linebacker exited Sundays win over the Lions with a concussion and a sore neck and is questionable to play against the Packers. The matchup against the Cowboys also appears favourable for Packers passing attack. The Cowboys ranked 19th in yards allowed this season and surrendered 323 yards to Matthew Stafford in their Wild Card game. Golden Tate and Calvin Johnson also both topped 85 yards in that matchup. If Lacy can give the Packers a strong start in the cold weather at Lambeau, the Packers passing game should have opportunities to stretch the field. If the Packers can score early, as they did so many times at home this season, the Cowboys could have a hard time keeping up.
