BRASILIA, Brazil -- Christine Sinclair celebrated her 200th appearance with Canadas womens soccer team with a goal in a 2-0 win over Scotland at the Torneio Internacional de Futebol Feminino on Thursday. Brandon Browner Patriots Jersey . The goal was the 147th of Sinclairs career, and she could have had two if her penalty shot in the first half wasnt saved. "The win felt incredible and that was the most important thing to come out of today," said Sinclair. "Not only the victory but the way our team played, I thought it was the best weve played all year." Adrianna Leon opened the scoring just eight minutes into the game on a volley off a headed pass from Sophie Schmidt. Sinclair was robbed of a penalty right before halftime when Scottish goalkeeper Gemma Fay dove to her right to make the save. "Ive missed a few. It happens," said Sinclair. "I think its my third or fourth miss with the national team. John (Herdman) said, You didnt want to score with a penalty anyway, you wanted a real goal." Sinclair would have her revenge 13 minutes into the second half when she was played in on the left side and had plenty of time to put the ball past Fay, who was one-on-one against Sinclair. Canadas next game in the tournament takes place Sunday when they take on Chile before rounding out the group stage against the hosts.

Ecclestone dismissed on Wednesday any clash between the series, after the top executive at Texas Motor Speedway called F1 "arrogant" for scheduling the United States Grand Prix in Austin on the same weekend that his track hosts NASCAR in Fort Worth.BORMIO, Italy -- Lindsey Vonn has not skied for two weeks and will "most likely" skip next weekends World Cup speed races in Austria, her head coach said on Saturday, leaving her status for the Sochi Olympics up in the air. Vonn remains in the United States after aggravating her surgically repaired right knee at a downhill race in Val dIsere, France, on Dec. 21. "Shes recovering and preparing and everything is (up) in the air," U.S. Ski Team womens head coach Alex Hoedlmoser told The Associated Press on Saturday, adding that Vonn will "most likely not" race in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Austria, next weekend. The next speed races after Altenmarkt are on one of Vonns favourite courses over Jan. 18-19 in Cortina dAmpezzo, Italy, where she has won seven times. "Right now its a total open book," Hoedlmoser said. "We dont know. It totally depends on how she recovers, how the knee feels, if she gets the strength back, the stability in the knee." Vonn needed surgery in February to reconstruct two knee ligaments after a crash at the world championships, and partially re-tore one of them in November. She returned to the World Cup in Lake Louise, Alberta, in the first week of December and finished 40th and 11th inn two downhills before placing fifth in super-G the next day. Jerod Mayo Jersey. But a loss of balance in Val dIsere left her clutching her knee in another setback. Hoedlmoser said Vonn has not trained on snow since the Val dIsere incident. She is training in the gym and being checked by the teams medical staff and her personal trainers from Red Bull. Hoedlmoser last spoke to Vonn on Thursday. He has already brought up the possibility that Vonn might not race again before Sochi, and he said he would have no problem putting her on the Olympic team even if she hasnt competed for six weeks by the time of the Feb. 7 opening ceremony. "Well, its Lindsey Vonn," he said. "She doesnt have to prove anything to anybody. So if shes ready to go were going to bring her. And if shes not then not. "We would like to see her get a couple more races in but the injury she has, shes always taking some risks doing that. And (if she has) another setback then she might not be able to do the Olympics." Vonn has already sat out technical races in Lienz, Austria, and will also miss Sundays slalom in Bormio. Vonn hopes to defend her Olympic downhill title on Feb. 12, and would also be a top contender in the Sochi super-G three days later. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
