ZURICH, Switzerland -- It will be Cristiano Ronaldo vs. cheap jerseys from china . Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a place at the World Cup. Portugal and Sweden were the first two teams drawn by FIFA on Monday for the European playoffs, though the pairing was talked about as a clash of superstar forwards in a two-leg series scheduled for Nov. 15 and 19. "World-class players like Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, they do something extra to change the game," Sweden coach Erik Hamren said. "I am pleased we have one, too. But we need our team to be really good." Also, France will play Ukraine, with the return game in Paris; Greece was paired with Romania; and Iceland, the lowest ranked of the eight teams at No. 46 in the world, will host the first leg against Croatia, which fired its coach last week. The four winners will complete Europes 13 entries in the 32-team World Cup draw on Dec. 6 in Salvador, Brazil. Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic were consigned to the playoffs after their teams finished second in their qualifying groups behind Russia and Germany, respectively. "They will be evenly balanced and very competitive games," Portugal coach Paulo Bento said. "Ibrahimovic is an imposing figure, but the Swedes are more than that, they are good collectively." Portugal also had to advance to the 2010 World Cup through a playoff, after twice drawing 0-0 with Sweden in the group. France, the 2006 World Cup runner-up, also makes its second straight trip to the playoffs after defending champion Spain won its group. Four years ago, a notorious handball by Thierry Henry helped France beat Ireland in extra time. "(Ukraine) dont concede many goals and it will be a long away trip for us," France coach Didier Deschamps said. "But to have the return leg at home is a good thing." France and Ukraine last met in a 2012 European Championship match which was delayed several minutes after kick off by a torrential rain storm in Donetsk. France eventually won 2-0. Iceland, which has a population of about 315,000, is looking to become the smallest country ever to play at the World Cup. That record is held by 2006 qualifier Trinidad and Tobago, which had about 1.2 million. Though Iceland lacks the recent pedigree of Croatia, the 1998 semifinalist, the pairing pits a veteran coach against a novice. Iceland coach Lars Lagerback will be trying to reach his fourth straight World Cup with a third different team. He coached his native Sweden at the 2002 and 2006 tournaments, and Nigeria in 2010. Croatias playoff matches mark the coaching debut of 42-year-old Niko Kovac, who stepped up from the under-21 team to replace Igor Stimac, who was fired after poor results. "I met Niko a little when he took his (coaching) license," Lagerback said. "He looks like a clever guy." Kovac said he "did not expect this situation" and will work alongside his brother, Robert, another former World Cup stalwart for Croatia. "With him I am never afraid," said Kovac, who will be focusing on teamwork. "There was no team on the pitch. We have some good players but everyone working for himself." Greece coach Fernando Santos said he would have preferred to play the first match in Romania. "My message to the fans is that they should believe in the national team, go to the stadium, fill it, and put pressure on our opponents," Santos said. Cheap Cincinnati Reds Jerseys .ca! Kerry, While the TSN panel and the rest of the hockey world is busy discussing the tying goal in last nights contest between the Sabres and Leafs, my question to you has to do with the fourth goal scored by Buffalo! After watching the replay, it appears to me that Alexander Sulzer pushed Ben Scrivens pad into the net along with the puck. Cheap St. Louis Rams Jerseys . Perhaps the biggest news of the game; the Jets scored both goals on the power play, the first time this season they scored two in a game. The Jets were in a power play slump with one goal in the last 15 games. "The power play was a big plus," said Coach Claude Noel post-game. http://www.cheapnfljerseys2015.us.com/NIKE-NFL-JERSEYS_DENVE R-BRONCOS-JERSEY.html . However, this year youll have to wait a little while longer. The Canadian Soccer Association is planning to unveil its brand new 2014-2018 strategic plan sometime in January 2014. wholesale nfl jerseys . I saw him play in Week 3 last season, Green Bay at Chicago, and then again in the Super Bowl in Dallas. Cheap NFL Jerseys . Konig passed Igor Anton before holding off Daniel Morenos sprint to claim the 167-kilometre (104-mile) ride from Jerez de la Frontera ending with a category-one summit finish at Alto de Penas Blancas.A year ago, Sergio Garcia walked off Augusta National and told reporters that he simply didnt have what it takes to win major championships. He said hed tried his best, but whatever it took to win one of the big four, it was missing in his make up. A stunning admission or a petulant rant? Garcia says it now it was a heat-of-the-moment comment that just summed up his frustration at the time. But one year later, that same guy has a share of the lead at the Masters on a course he doesnt really love. Its obviously not my most favorite place, said Garcia after his six-under 66. But you know, we try to enjoy it as much as we can each time we come here. Sometimes it comes out better than others, but today it was one of those good days. And you know, lets enjoy it while it lasts. On Thursday, Garcia was simply magnificent over his first 10 holes, going five under, a stretch that could have been even better. To tell you the truth, if I manage to make a couple of the putts that kind of stayed around the lip, I could have been probably seven- or eight-under par through 10, Garcia said. It was that good. And it wasnt like I was hitting pitching wedge every single time. I was hitting 4-irons and 5-irons and 6-irons, so it wasnt that easy. In some ways, its stunning that Garcia doesnt have a major on his resume. He has a remarkable 17 top-10s in majors, nine of those inside the top 5. His first notoriety on this side of the Atlantic came in a major he almost won, when he battled Tiger Woods down the stretch at the 1999 PGA Championship before finishing second. At that point, the expectations went beyond winning majors, he was gooing to be a rival to Woods. Cheap San Jose Sharks Jerseys. On the other hand, maybe the fact hes major-less isnt that much of a shock. Garcia has always found a way to turn victories into defeats, either through poor shots, unwise risks or even bad clothes – who can ever forget his banana-coloured outfit on the final day of the 2006 Open Championship? Still, Sergio can amaze you with his shotmaking. There was his famous around-the-tree shot at that 99 PGA or his from-the-tree shot last month at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. And about 1,000 others that are memorable and impressive. Of course, he can also confound you with his actions. Remember when he spit into the cup at Doral in 1997? Or how about when he took a two-month hiatus from the game, reportedly to get over a broken heart? Thats Sergio. Or more precisely, that was Sergio. These days, its a calmer, more mature Garcia who seems to be evening out the highs and lows of golf and life. "Sometimes I do feel like there is such a thing as being too, you know, too hyper about something," stated Garcia, who hasnt finished outside the top 20 in any tournament hes finished this year. "Youve still got to keep calm. Ive obviously changed as a player. Im not the same way I was when I was 19. I still get very excited about playing the game every single week and trying to win tournaments. But its obviously not the same feeling that when I was 19, 20 or 21. But thats kind of normal." Can Sergio win a major? Without a doubt. Will he? It seems that it could finally be his time, but then, thats not the first time weve written that. ' ' '
