Neighbours and fierce rivals Iran and Iraq will meet in the Asian Cup quarterfinals on Friday, while defending champion and title favourite Japan will face the United Arab Emirates. Cheap Ducks Jerseys China .Here are some things to watch:___IRAN VS. IRAQ (0630 GMT): The winner-takes-all match in the Australian capital Canberra will be fiercely contested between two teams that both believe they have the edge on their opponent.Irans form has been faultless, with three wins from three in the group stage, keeping clean sheets in every game. With experienced and highly regarded coach Carlos Queiroz in charge, the Iranians belief in their title chances is growing.Iran, which beat Iraq in a pre-tournament friendly, clinched top spot in its group with a stoppage-time winner by Reza Ghoochannejhad which delivered a 1-0 win against the UAE.The spirit is great in our team, Ghoochannejhad. The chemistry and spirit in this team is amazing and we hope to continue and get good results in the future.Iraqs form has not been quite as convincing, beating Jordan and Palestine while losing a tightly-fought match against Japan. Iraq, though, still has vivid memories of 2007 when it won the Asian Cup against the odds, with its homeland in the midst of war.I see it as a tough game, Iraq midfielder Yaser Kasim said. They are a good side. We played them in a friendly already, so we got a test how to play against them, and how they play. Its going to be a massive, massive game and a great rivalry, so hopefully we can put on a show for the people.___JAPAN VS. UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (0930 GMT): Four-time champion Japan starts as a favourite against the UAE, and the Blue Samurai are living up to their billing as the team to beat for the title.Coach Javier Aguirre, who is working under the cloud of an ongoing match-fixing investigation relating to his time in Spanish club football, was not letting his players get ahead of themselves going into the Melbourne match.From my experience in the Copa America, World Cup and the Gold Cup, I can say that our chances are the same as the other seven teams remaining, Aguirre said. From now we start from zero.Japan will have had only two days rest since its last group game — one day less than the UAE — and star attacker Keisuke Honda was not impressed with the timing.Two days is too short for recovery, Honda said. We have to deal with it but I dont agree with this schedule. It is very difficult, a tough schedule.We shouldnt think we will create many chances against them. They are strong physically, have speed and many talented players.The Emirates chances of pulling off a surprise win will rest largely on the shoulders of young playmaker Omar Abdulrahman, whose performances in this tournament have demonstrated why some of Europes big clubs are tracking his progress.The UAEs strength is a coherence born of having the same group of players coming up through the ranks from under-17s, but Abdulrahman is the standout.Japan captain Makoto Hasebe, as the ball-winning midfielder, will have the chief responsibility of negating the Emirati star.He gets a lot of the ball from his teammates and we know he is the key player, Hasebe said. He is a playmaker more than a finisher and we have to take care of the way he distributes the ball.I have seen some of their games and they are dangerous going forward. They have a lot of players that have come through younger age groups together and are a complete team. But, that said, on our day I think we are a better team. Adidas Joseph Blandisi Jersey .

The 49ers announced the deal Thursday. San Francisco selected Kilgore in the fifth round of the 2011 draft out of Appalachian State. He has played in 33 regular-season games, plus all six playoff games the last two seasons.(Sports Network) - The faces may change but the winning continues for New England, something the Atlanta Falcons will try to stop on Sunday night. The primetime matchup will feature the two active quarterbacks with the best winning percentages as starters when the Patriots Tom Brady (139-39, .781) and Atlantas Matt Ryan (57-24, .704) meet. You can see all the action on TSN with coverage beginning with Football Night in America at 7pm et/4pm pt. Both clubs advanced to their respective conferences championship game a year ago, but the Falcons have stumbled out of the gate this time around. Despite drastic changes at the skill positions around Brady, though, the Pats are at a more comfortable 3-0 after a 23-3 win over Tampa Bay in Week 3. Brady, who has now thrown a touchdown pass in 51 consecutive games, connected with rookie wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins on two TD passes against the Bucs. "We had good contributions from all three phases on offense, defense and special teams," said New England head coach Bill Belichick, who earned his 208th career win, one shy of tying Pittsburgh legend Chuck Noll for fifth place on the NFLs all-time list. "I thought our situational football was better: third down, red area, fourth down, kicking game. I thought we made some improvement this week; that was good to see." Brady completed 25-of-36 throws for 225 yards with one interception for the Patriots, who have opened a campaign at 3-0 for the first time since their undefeated regular season six years ago. Tight end Rob Gronkowski was inactive once again as his 2013 debut remains on hold, while slot receiver Danny Amendola missed a second straight ggame with a groin injury. Adidas Benoit-Olivier Groulx Jersey. Rookie wideout Aaron Dobson had 52 yards on seven receptions. "I feel good, were 3-0," Pats All-Pro nose tackle Vince Wilfork said. "You cant ask for anything better." Actually 4-0 would be better, but the Falcons will be in desperation mode after a last-second defeat in Miami (27-23) in Week 3. At home, Atlanta has won 12 of its past 13 regular-season contests. "Im looking forward to having a big week," Falcons rookie cornerback Desmond Trufant said. "I cant wait. I know were all looking forward to it. Weve got a bad taste in our mouth right now, so were just looking forward to getting back to grinding." Ryan had 231 yards and two touchdowns on 23-of-38 passing against the Dolphins for Atlanta, which dominated time of possession in the opening half, holding the ball for nearly 23 minutes. With Steven Jackson (hamstring) out, Jacquizz Rodgers and Jason Snelling shared the running back duties for Atlanta. Rodgers finished with a career- high 86 yards rushing, while Snelling had 53 yards on the ground and caught four passes for 58 yards. Atlantas Julio Jones led all receivers with 115 yards on nine catches for the Falcons, who lost despite a 377-285 edge in total offensive yards. "This was a game where I think we had a ton of opportunities to have chances to win the game, we just didnt make the plays when they were presented to us," Atlanta head coach Mike Smith said. The all-time series between the Pats and Falcons is even at six apiece but the Pats have won three straight and havent lost to Atlanta since the turn of the century.
