LONDON -- Insisting they deserve the chance to stage the World Cup, Qatars football leaders on Saturday hit back at their English counterparts for suggesting that FIFA consider taking the 2022 tournament away from the desert nation. New English Football Association chairman Greg Dyke incensed the Qataris by arguing that the heat in the tiny emirate could be "very dangerous" and calling on FIFA to find a new location for the World Cup or anger European leagues by rescheduling it in winter. Concerns about Qatars plans have mounted since its bid surprisingly triumphed in 2010 despite being declared "high risk" by FIFAs own inspection team, which highlighted the sweltering summer heat in the Persian Gulf where temperatures can hit 50 degrees Celsius (120 Fahrenheit). But the Qataris on Saturday insisted that they could deliver footballs biggest event and that the 2010 vote was the "right decision." "Football is the most popular sport in the Middle East and the people of our region deserve the opportunity to have history made in their part of the world," the Qatar World Cup supreme committee said in a statement to The Associated Press. "We are committed to delivering on the promises we made in our successful bid. We are ready to host in summer or winter." Although the English FA is open to rescheduling the tournament for the cooler winter months in Qatar, the English Premier League is firmly against any changes that would disrupt its August-May season. FIFA President Sepp Blatter recently agreed that his executive committee should consider in October whether the showpiece event should be moved to the winter, having described a summer tournament in Qatar as "not rational and reasonable." "We have always maintained that this issue requires the agreement of the international football community," the Qatar statement said. "A decision to alter the dates of the 2022 FIFA World Cup would not affect our infrastructure planning." Qatar planned to counter the extreme heat by building air-conditioned stadiums, but potential health concerns remain for players, fans and officials travelling around the country -- an issue the organizers didnt address on Saturday. "The development of environmentally friendly cooling technologies is an important legacy issue for our nation, region and in countries with similar climates," the statement said after Dyke questioned how air conditioning stadiums fits with a "green policy." Oil-wealthy Qatar successfully saw off rival bids from the United States, Japan, South Korea and Australia to land the World Cup, allowing FIFA to take the tournament to a new frontier. "Clearly people wanted to take football to a place like Qatar where theres no footballing tradition," Dyke said. "But it wasnt thought through properly ... if thousands of fans turn up for a tournament in Qatar it could be very dangerous." http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Filipe-Luis-Jersey/ .

Mickelson barely made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has called on Anton Lienert-Brown to plug the hole in his midfield against Australia in the second Bledisloe Cup Test at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Saturday, the Chiefs centre named to make his Test debut at inside centre alongside Malakai Fekitoa.Lienert-Brown, 21, was called into the squad as cover following Sonny Bill Williams Achilles tendon injury at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and further injuries to incumbent No.12 Ryan Crotty, George Moala and Waisake Naholo have compelled Hansen to give Lienert-Brown his chance.He had a very good Super season with strong performances throughout, and we expect him to take the step up, Hansen said of the Christchurch-born midfielder who impressed in defence as the Chiefs overcame a string of injuries to reach the semi-finals.The world champions were plagued by injuries in their 42-8 mauling of the Wallabies in the first Bledisloe encounter, losing Crotty, Naholo and hooker Codie Taylor.Naholo has been replaced by Hurricanes winger Julian Savea in the starting XV, while Dane Coles will start from the first minute in place of Taylor. Coles, 29, played almost the full 80 minutes in Sydney desppite his lingering rib complaint.dddddddddddd.The inexperienced Seta Tamanivalu and James Parsons, both called into the All Blacks set-up this week, take their places on the bench.The team otherwise retains a similar feel to that which notched up a record win on Australian soil last week.The only other changes see Joe Moody replace Wyatt Crockett as the loosehead prop, and Ben Smith swapping positions with Israel Dagg.Victory against the Wallabies will secure New Zealands 14th consecutive Bledisloe Cup success, and put them in the driving seat to reclaim the Rugby Championship.As always, the expectation we have placed on ourselves is to improve in everything we do, Hansen said.New Zealand: Ben Smith, Israel Dagg, Malakai Fekitoa, Anton Lienert-Brown, Julian Savea, Beauden Barrett, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read (capt), Sam Cane, Jerome Kaino, Samuel Whitelock, Brodie Retallick, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Joe Moody. Replacements: James Parsons, Wyatt Crockett, Charlie Faumuina, Liam Squire, Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Aaron Cruden, Seta Tamanivalu.
