iddle to the hometown hero Neymar Jr. The weight of an entire na

Mario Balotelli - Italy (Forward) Mario Balotelli has popped the question in Brazil, and it wasnt "why always me?" Super Mario has never been short on theatrics, so it shouldnt come as a huge surprise to hear that the 23 year old Italian striker waited until the beginning of the World Cup to propose to his girlfriend. Santiago Arias Colombia Jersey . Balotelli posted a picture of the engagement ring, along with a photo of the location where the Italian team is believed to be staying in Brazil. While it will definitely be interesting to see Balotellis performance on the field, it may be even more exciting to see what the enigmatic striker is up to off of the field. Neymar Jr - Brazil (Forward) Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo may be the biggest players in the world, but make no mistake, when they come to Brazil theyll be playing second fiddle to the hometown hero Neymar Jr. The weight of an entire nation may be resting on Neymars shoulders, but you certainly wouldnt be able to tell that from his Instagram posts. The Brazilian wonder boy seems to be enjoying the all of the fanfare, gifts, and good times that come with being viewed as a national treasure. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - England (Forward) Even if Alex Oxlade- Chamberlain ends up missing the entire group stage with his knee injury, hes shown he has what it takes for another position; team photographer. The 20 year old English winger has an impressive Instagram portfolio that shows great chemistry between some of the young three lions players.

Boston Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli shot down any trade rumours on Monday, saying there were no plans to move his star goaltender. Colombia World Cup Jerseys . LUCIE, Fla.ALLEN PARK, Mich. - The Detroit Lions slipped and slid plenty in the snow at Philadelphia. Maybe it was fitting. The slumping Lions (7-6) have lost three of four games, blowing fourth-quarter leads each time, wasting chance after chance to take command of the NFC North. "Well just take this slap in the face and hope it wakes us up," cornerback Chris Houston said after Sundays 34-20 loss to the Eagles. "We have two straight home games and we have to go get them. We cant get down on ourselves. We are still in a good position in our division. I think we like when our backs are against the wall." Detroit hosts the defending champion Baltimore Ravens next Monday night and then the New York Giants before closing the regular season at Minnesota. The Lions will remain in first place in the division headed into the weekend, but they have left little room for error over their next three games, all of which will be played indoors. "Anytime its in your hands like that, you feel good about your opportunities," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Monday. "I know this, the next three games we are not going to have to worry about eight inches of snow on the ground. We are not going to have to worry about 50 mph winds or anything else, but potentially in the future we still do." That would be the playoffs — if Detroit can figure out how to tilt the turnover ratio back to its favour. Detroit had a total of eight turnovers in losses against Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh, while failing to force one turnover in either game. The Lions then fumbled seven times and lost three to Philadelphia, which turned it over only once in the same conditions. "Id say the first half was probably more difficult than the second," quarterback Matthew Stafford said. James Rodriguez Colombia Soccer Jersey. "It was a little icier in the second, but its no excuse. We had opportunities to make plays and we didnt make them." The Lions went ahead 20-14 early in the fourth quarter against the Eagles after Jeremy Ross 98-yard kick return — his second score on special teams Sunday — before letting LeSean McCoy score a go-ahead touchdown on a 57-yard run and getting shut down on offence. After the game, some Lions said they were soft on defence. The next day, Schwartz disagreed with that assessment. "We missed a lot of tackles in that game and LeSean McCoy did a good job with the conditions and we didnt," Schwartz said. "I wouldnt put it on anything else. Players can characterize it any way they want, but when you say that word it becomes sort of an inflammatory word." Detroit took leads into the fourth quarter against the Buccaneers and Steelers before being held scoreless in the final quarters of both losses. Schwartz insisted the team is focused on looking ahead to the opportunity of winning the division title — for the first time since 1993 — and cant afford to look back. "You cant really worry about whats happened in the past," Schwartz said. "You have to keep your eyes focused on the future. It starts Monday night with the Ravens." NOTES: Schwartz said rookie CB Darius Slay had knee surgery last Friday and the team didnt put him on injured reserve, holding out hope he can return. ... Schwartz said RB Reggie Bush (calf), rookie DE Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah (shoulder) and rookie OT LaAdrian Waddle (elbow) dont have long-term injuries. ___ Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org ___ Follow Larry Lage on Twitter: twitter.com/larrylage cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
