ERST LESEN! » another trying season for Florida q

Central Coast star Fabio Ferreira is hopeful of breaking his goal drought in one of the biggest fixtures of the Mariners A-League calendar - the F3 derby against Newcastle.Ferreira hasnt scored since coming back from a hamstring injury in round three, and has been substituted in all four games upon his return.However the Portugese attacker has put the onus on himself to break his duck when the ninth-placed Mariners meet eighth-placed neighbours Newcastle on Sunday.Im hanging for a goal, Im craving for a goal very bad, Ferreira said on Tuesday.Obviously I try to score, to create, its not going to be different things game. Hopefully I start scoring and create some assists. Ill do my best, hopefully no injury.A win would also help the Mariners bounce back after a disappointing 2-0 loss to Wellington last-start that coach Paul Okon labelled their worst performance of the season.Ferreira admitted the team was off the pace against Phoenix in Canberra but is confident the local derby will bring the best out of the playing group.The Mariners are winless in their past five clashes against the Jets and havent won in Broadmeadow since December 2012.Everyone was a bit flat (against Wellington), just disappointing. Hopefully we dont repeat that and next game were more energetic and we can take the three points, he said.You just want to win a derby. Itll be a very important game for us to win, we want to win it at all costs. Hopefully well be strong and mentally prepared to a big game.With the fans around you trying to support, it means a lot for us players and gives them more desire to try to win the game. Hopefully the fans travel to Newcastle and support us.Replica Shoes Wholesale China .

Wholesale Shoes Brands . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. http://www.wholesaleshoes.us.org/ . PETERSBURG, Fla. Cheap Replica Shoes China . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Cheap Shoes China Wholesale . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July.GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- On a night when retired coach Steve Spurrier was honored along with his 1996 national championship team, No. 25 Florida looked nothing like a potential Southeastern Conference title contender.Luke Del Rio threw two touchdown passes in his first career start, and the Gators did just enough to beat UMass 24-7 on Saturday night and extend the nations longest winning streak in season openers to 27.It was far from the offensive resurgence the Gators were hoping for after ending last season with three consecutive losses.We have expectations every game, Del Rio said. We obviously want to score more points, but we got the win. Thats the most important thing.Things were so ugly for much of the night that Spurrier provided most of Floridas early highlights.After having Florida Field named after him and then leading 90,000 rain-soaked fans in a pre-game cheer, Spurrier posed like Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt. The 71-year-old Spurrier flashed Bolts To The World pose to all four sides of the newly renamed Steve Spurrier-Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. It drew a raucous ovation from fans on hand for the opener.I just planned it myself, Spurrier said. I didnt tell anybody, either, `cause I thought theyd spill the beans. You know, its never been done before. Im a guy that likes to do a little different stuff, so I was the first to do the Usain in the middle of the field.Many inside the sold-out Swamp were there for Spurrier, who was honored in a number of ways. Not only was the field named after him, but Spurrier served as the honorary Mr. Two Bits. At halftime, he was recognized again for the 50th anniversary of his 1966 Heisman Trophy and honored along with the 1996 team.Spurrier said the best parts of the day were watching his name unveiled on the stadium and then seeing band members wearing visors to honor him.Florida coach Jim McElwain probably could have used one -- to slam to the ground.It was fun to get back after it and really get that taste of the last ballgame wee played out of our mouth, McElwain said.ddddddddddddObviously, as you watched the game, weve got a long way to go.The Gators had trouble blocking the 36 1/2-point underdogs up front and creating holes in the running game. Del Rio completed 29 of 44 passes for 256 yards, with TD passes to Antonio Callaway in the first quarter and Brandon Powell in the fourth.Floridas defense was solid except for one scoring drive in which it was flagged three times for 35 yards and allowed a fourth-and-14 conversion.Newcomer Eddy Pineiro kicked three field goals, including from 49 and 48 yards in the fourth that gave Florida a little extra breathing room and started chants of Eddy! Eddy!This is a dream come true, said Pineiro, who played soccer in high school and had never kicked in a meaningful game. Ive worked my butt off for two years, came in here as an early enrollee and worked very hard for this moment.THE TAKEAWAYUMASS: The schedule doesnt look so daunting now. UMass has two more Southeastern Conference teams on tap this fall, but after watching Mississippi State (lost to South Alabama) and South Carolina (edged Vanderbilt) in openers, theres reason to believe coach Mark Whipples team can be in, or maybe even win, both of those games.FLORIDA: Could be another trying season for Florida quarterbacks. The Gators clearly still have holes along their offensive line, a problem that plagued the offense last year and really stood out during the season-ending, three-game losing streak.UP NEXTUMASS: The Minutemen return home to play Boston College, which is coming off a loss to Georgia Tech in Ireland. UMass has dropped eight in a row in the series and 19 of 23 overall.FLORIDA: Opens SEC play at home against Kentucky. The Gators have won 29 straight in the series, the nations longest active streak between any two opponents.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
