Sydney FC fans can thank Chris Martin for stealing their clubs home ground on one of the biggest nights of their A-League season.The Sky Blues would have hosted Melbourne City at Allianz Stadium on Friday night but two Coldplay gigs forced them to move the blockbuster to the much larger ANZ Stadium.The British band are scheduled to play concerts next Tuesday and Wednesday, meaning the venue must be kept free for set-up.When the A-League draw was done, no one could have envisaged the game being a one-versus-two clash and doubling as a repeat showdown between the FFA Cup finalists.Chief executive Tony Pignata expected a crowd of around 20,000 at ANZ Stadium.However, that number would have fit more snugly into the 45,500-capacity Allianz, as in last months Big Blue with Melbourne Victory which drew just over 19,000.Its difficult for us to move games because its an administration nightmare with members and seats and all that sort of stuff but, unfortunately, weve had to move because of the concert, Pignata told AAP.But weve got a good record at ANZ as well and wed like a big crowd to come out and support us.Its one of the big games of the year and its been set up well playing the FFA Cup holders in a top-of-the-table clash.The Sky Blues players will get a second stab at City, this time in Sydney, after FFAs decision to hold the Cup decider at AAMI Park.Coach Graham Arnold said that felt like an away match, and his players wanted to capitalise at home in their bid to open up a nine-point gap over John van t Schips side at the top of the table.Defender Michael Zullo said it was a very different scenario to last time.Its a new game and everything is definitely on our side this weekend.Sydney remain undefeated a third of the way through the season and returned to winning ways on Sunday with 2-0 victory over battlers Newcastle - their third match in eight days.Zullo was still sporting a giant bruise on Monday, five days after copping a battering, including one particularly ugly tackle from Citys Luke Brattan.Theyre physical and were physical as well, the left-back said.I just happened to be the one involved in a couple of incidents but it could have been someone else. I dont think it was intentionally directed at me. Nike Free Online Sale .

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Ron Rivera is a student of history, which is why he has been quick to address the elephant in the Carolina Panthers locker room.The two-time NFL Coach of the Year reminded players that the last team to return to a Super Bowl after losing it the previous season was the 1993-94 Buffalo Bills. The road ahead will be difficult, but he wants to avoid being another NFL statistic.We know we are the hunted, Rivera said.The Panthers took the field Thursday for the start of training camp with their focus on bucking that 23-year NFL trend.It would seem they have the personnel to do it.Back is league MVP Cam Newton. So is Kelvin Benjamin, the teams No. 1 receiver who missed Carolinas franchise-record 17-win season with a torn ACL. The Panthers defense, which led the NFL in takeaways last season, is mostly intact with the exception of All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman. The entire coaching staff is returning, too.The talk all offseason has been, `Hey, how do we get back?, Panthers offensive coordinator Mike Shula said. Its been 20-something years and believe me, weve heard all of that forever now. But if there has ever been a group of guys who can do it, its this group. Just because of what theyre made of physically and intellectually and the character that we have inside.Marv Levy, who coached the Bills to four straight Super Bowls in the 1990s, said having players with high character was essential to overcoming adversity.Ability without character is nothing, Levy said.The day after Buffalos crushing loss to the New York Giants in Super Bowl 25 (when kicker Scott Norwoods potential game-winning field goal sailed wide right), Levy posted a poem his mother once read to him on a message board outside of the teams meeting room in Orchard Park, New York.The poem, written by an unknown author, read:Fight on, my men, Sir Andrew said.A little Im hurt but not yet slain.Ill just lie down and bleed a while,And then Ill rise and fight again.Levys players asked for copies of the poem, and it became a source of inspiration and pride for the Bills over the next three seasons.ddddddddddddNearly 25 years later, Levy cant explain why it has been so tough for Super Bowl losing teams to get back to the big game. He said free agency might be one issue.There is no hard and fast formula, Levy said. But I think one of the big factors is you have to have players with tremendous character -- and part of that is resiliency. You have to have guys who arent going to give up. We were blessed to have that.Rather than ignore history, Rivera has chosen to confront it.Hes even sought out the advice of others around the league, including former NFL coach John Madden. Rivera has stressed the importance of paying attention to details with his players and taking nothing for granted.They seem to be listening.We arent going to win the Super Bowl today, but we are going to need to do all of the right things that lead up to your first preseason game, your first regular season game and so on, Panthers tight end Greg Olsen said.Olsen joined the Bears as a rookie in 2007, just months after their Super Bowl loss to Indianapolis. Like many previous Super Bowl losers, the Bears failed to make the playoffs the following season.I think everyone -- not just the players (but) the team, the community and the fans -- just assume that `Hey, you got the same guys back why would it be any different? Olsen said. But in the NFL, every game is different, every season is different. There are so many moving parts that go into whether you have success or not.He said the natural human tendency is for a team to rest on its laurels -- something he said the Panthers cant afford to do.If we think were going to just show up week one and rattle off 14 wins in a row like we did last year just because were the same guys in the same uniforms you are going to find yourself in a bad spot, Olsen said. Its just not the way this league works.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
