MADRID, Spain -- Rafael Nadal leads an unchanged Spain squad in next months Davis Cup final against Argentina, which will count on Juan Martin del Potro and David Nalbandian to lead the South Americans to a first title on their fourth attempt. nfl jerseys china . The second-ranked Nadal helped Spain beat France 4-1 in the semifinals to set up the Dec. 2-4 final on the hosts favoured clay surface at Olympic Stadium in Seville. Fifth-ranked David Ferrer is set to play singles alongside Nadal, while Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco should team-up for doubles, although Spain captain Albert Costa also included recent Valencia Open winner Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez as playing partners. Aside from the 11th-ranked Del Potro and Nalbandian, Juan Monaco, Juan Ignacio Chela and Eduardo Schwank are also in Argentinas squad, although captain Tito Vazquez will need to trim his team to four players before the Dec. 1 draw. The Argentines beat a Novak Djokovic-led Serbia 3-2 in Belgrade in the semifinals. Spain has won 20 straight series at home since going down to Brazil in 1999. On clay, Nadal and Ferrer are a combined 25-0. The final is a repeat of the 2008 decider, when Spain won 3-2 on a hard indoor surface in Argentina despite missing Nadal to injury. "When we went to Mar del Plata, the Argentine public was absolutely belligerent," Costa said on Tuesday. "Im not going to ask the Spanish fans to repeat that belligerence but they do need to be passionate and show fire in defending the Spanish team, because that will be a prime factor if we want to win." Spain is vying for its fifth title since 2000 and third in four seasons. Argentina was also runner-up in 1981 and 2006. Spain begin training in Seville on Saturday, with Nadal and Ferrer are set to join the team after the ATP World Tour Finals. Argentina has already started practising on clay at the Tenis Club Argentino in Buenos Aires. Nadal helped Spain beat the United States to capture the 2004 title at Olympic Stadium. cheap jerseys .

CALGARY -- Canadas junior mens hockey team earned a 3-1 exhibition win Monday over Finland, which will be Canadas first opponent in the upcoming 2012 world junior hockey championship. Boone Jenner of the Oshawa Generals, Mark Stone of the Brandon Wheat Kings and Brendan Gallagher of the Vancouver Giants scored in the first of three exhibition games Canada will play before opening the tournament Sunday in Edmonton. Mark Visentin of the Niagara IceDogs stopped 22 shots in Canadas net for the win. Canadas 22-player team was announced last week and has been training and team building since then in Banff, Alta. "To finally compete against another team and another country was good," Jenner said. "I think everyone is feeling good about themselves right now." Teemu Pulkkinen scored the lone goal for Finland. Christopher Gibson of the Chicoutimi Sagueneens played two periods in Finlands net, making 21 saves. The Los Angeles Kings prospect kept the score close as Canada generated more scoring chances than the Finns. Gibson was relieved for the third period by Sami Aittokallio, who turned away nine of 10 shots. "Canada was a little bit better. They were a little bit faster than we were today," Finland coach Raimo Helminen said. "We had enough chances to score goals too, but today we were not that hungry like Canada was." Canada was without wingers Jonathan Huberdeau (foot) and Quinton Howden (concussion symptoms). With only 11 forwards, Canadian head coach Don Hay juggled his forwards lines. Jenner and Michael Bournival of the Shawinigan Cataractes played both centre and on the wing during the game. The Canadian team was to return to Banff after the game. Canada travels to Red Deer, Alta., for a pre-tournament game Thursday against Switzerland, followed by a final tune-up Friday in Edmonton versus Sweden. Canada had several scoring chances early that they didnt bury, or they were frustrated by Gibson. The hosts trailed 1-0 after the opening period on Pulkkinens power-play goal. Canada put more pressure on the Finns in the third period, outshooting then 14-8 and getting more traffic around the Finland net. "I thought we were a little bit nervous at the start," Hay said. "I thought we stuck with it and got better. Thats a real good sign. I thought Mark Visentin played really solid for us and as the game went on, he made some real big saves for us." Gallagher drove hard to the net to score at 18:21 of the third period. Canada scored a pair of goals in the second to take a 2-1 lead. Stone, a Brandon Wheat Kings forward, banged in his own rebound at 12:45. BBrett Connolly of the NHLs Tampa Bay Lightning smartly head-manned the puck up to Jenner on the wing. jerseys from china. The Columbus Blue Jackets prospect beat Gibson between the pads at 6:16 for Canadas first goal of the night. Devante Smith-Pelly of the Anaheim Ducks is one of two NHL players on the Canadian roster along with Connolly. The Toronto native made his presence felt with several big checks. Smith-Pelly used his power in the offensive zone, circling the net and creating space for his linemates. Jenner had three excellent scoring chances, including a first-period breakaway, in addition to his goal. "We had a lot of opportunities, but you know what? Theres a lot of work to be done," Jenner said. "That was just the first game. We can just build on that." Canada was scoreless on four power-play chances while the Finns made the most of their one opportunity. So Canadas special teams need some work, as well as their defensive coverage in the neutral zone. "Playing against Europeans, they really like to build up speed in the neutral zone and thats an area we have to get a little more structured in, a little more disciplined in," Hay said. In the first period, Rasmus Ristolainen dished the puck to Pulkkinen at the left face-off circle. Visentin got a piece of his glove on Pulkkinens low shot, but not enough to stop it. The players to watch on Finland are the brothers Mikael and Markus Granlund. Mikael was drafted ninth overall by the NHLs Minnesota Wild in 2010, while Markus was a second-round pick of the Calgary Flames this year. Mikael had an assist on the Finland goal Monday. Finland has won the world junior championship only once in 1998. "I dont want to jinx us but I think we can be really in the top," Gibson said. "We have a good team. Weve got guys who can score a lot of goals and we can play defensively. "Tonight we proved that we can actually play against the top teams in the tournament." Canada, Finland, the United States, the Czech Republic and Denmark play Pool B games in Edmonton. Pool A games involving defending champion Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Latvia and Slovakia will be in Calgary, followed by medal-round games in that city. Notes: No Canadian player wore the captains "C" on Monday. Smith-Pelly, Jaden Schwartz and Brandon Gormley all wore an assistant captains "A" . . . Germany and France earned promotion to the 2013 world junior hockey championship in Ufa, Russia, by winning the second-tier mens junior championship. The countries ranked ninth and 10th in Alberta are relegated to that tournament. ' ' '
