RIO DE JANEIRO -- Brazilians know the 7-1 loss to Germany at the World Cup will never be forgotten. That doesnt mean that defeating the rivals in the Olympic final wouldnt have a special sweetness.Two years after the humiliating home defeat, Brazil faces Germanys under-23 team on Saturday with a chance to win the soccer gold medal for the first time.Victory would give Brazil the only trophy it hasnt won in world football, but not revenge for 2014.That was the World Cup, this is the Olympic team, Brazil coach Rogerio Micale said. Neymar never played in that match, so there is nothing that could generate any type of feeling that we have to take revenge. It is a different time with different players and ages.Brazilian fans, however, have been looking forward to the rematch against the Germans, even if its in a tournament played mostly with youth squads and with less importance as the World Cup. As Brazil routed Honduras in the semifinals, the crowd at the Maracana chanted that Germanys turn is coming up.The supporters are playing their role and we will need the supporters as this is a very strong German team, Micale said. The supporters will want what they want, but there is no link between that match and this one.Germany coach Horst Hrubesch also distanced his team from what happened at the World Cup.What counts is this game, the Olympic final, he said. It is a different team and we are here to live our dream right to the end.Neymar was a member of Brazils squad in 2014 but didnt play against Germany after breaking a bone in his back in the quarterfinals against Colombia.The only Germany player who was in the World Cup is Matthias Ginter, but he was on the bench and never played in the infamous game at the Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte.We know that its going to be a different environment to be playing against Germany again, Brazil goalkeeper Weverton said. But nobody here played in that final. What happened in the past is in the past, nothing is going to change that, even if we win by seven goals. We have a chance to create our own history, for our generation to do something different and earn this gold for Brazil.Playing at home and with Neymar, Brazil is taking the Olympic tournament more seriously than ever. It arrived at the Rio de Janeiro Games as the main title-favorite and with the obligation of winning the elusive gold. Neymar skipped the Copa America just to try to help Brazil win at the Olympics.Brazil finished with the silver medal three times and the bronze twice. Four years ago, it lost to Mexico in the final in London.This is the third straight Olympics in which Brazil has brought some of its best players looking for gold. Neymar also played in 2012, and in 2008 in Beijing it failed with a team led by Ronaldinho. Brazil also finished second in 1984 in Los Angeles and in 1988 in Seoul, the second time with a team that included Romario and Bebeto. Brazil won the bronze in 1996 in Atlanta with striker Ronaldo.Victory in Rio would help restore some of Brazils soccer pride after the World Cup defeat and this years elimination in the group stage of the Copa America. Brazils last title was at the 2013 Confederations Cup, when the final was also at the Maracana.Germany is playing in the Olympics for the first time since 1998, when Jurgen Klinsmann was on the team. It won the bronze at the time, when it competed as West Germany.Air Max 90 Italia .

Now, less than two weeks before his 28th birthday, one of the NHLs best two-way forwards is under contract for the next nine seasons and hopes to retire with the only team hes played for, the Boston Bruins. Bergeron signed an eight-year, $52 million extension Friday that starts once his current three-year, $15 million deal expires after next season. "We dont want to go anywhere else and so it was an easy decision for me and my family," the Bruins alternate captain said in a conference call. Bergerons extension came two days after the Bruins re-signed goalie Tuukka Rask, a restricted free agent, to another eight-year contract. Its worth $56 million even though he just completed his first full season as the teams No. 1 goalie. General manager Peter Chiarelli was eager to keep two core players who were instrumental in Bostons run to the Stanley Cup finals. "We want to try and get these guys locked up," he said, "the pillars of the team." Chiarelli acknowledged the danger in such long-term contracts, knowing that performance can diminish and injuries can increase. "You accept a lot of the risks," he said, "but with a person of Patrices character ... who weve closely monitored his recovery over the years -- and its not without risk. But Patrice is a terrific character guy and hes shown his resiliency. So were comfortable with the risks." Bergeron learned early how a promising career can be put in peril. He was off to a strong start in 2007-08 with three goals and four assists in 10 games. But he didnt play again that season after sustaining a grade-three concussion and a broken nose when he was checked into the end-boards by Philadelphia defenceman Randy Jones. Bergeron said he didnt think much then about how the concussion might affect his future. "It never really crossed my mind at that time," he said. "I was really just trying to stay in the moment and try to get back on my feet and get good again. I wasnt really thinking about the future and long term." Now he has one Stanley Cup championship, in 2011, and one bid that fell just two wins short when the Chicago Blackhawks clinched the title in six games oon June 24.dddddddddddd The prospect of contending for another Cup was "a huge factor" in his decision to stay in Boston. "You want to keep doing it, keep reliving the moment, the way that we felt in 2011 after winning the Cup. Those are the memories that you never forget," Bergeron said. He was outstanding throughout his 22 playoff games, tying for the team lead with nine goals, including two winners in overtime. The second-line centre played the last game of the finals with a broken rib on the left side and a separated right shoulder. After that 3-2 loss, when Chicago came from behind with two goals in the last 1:16, he was hospitalized with a punctured lung. He was released two days later. Doctors have told him he could resume working out on July 22, four weeks after the injury. He needs that time to heal from the procedure in which a hole was put in his ribcage to allow air out and let the lung re-inflate. "Its really more of my lungs than anything else," Bergeron said. "My shoulder and my ribs are feeling better." A talented playmaker and checker, he won the Selke Trophy in 2011-12 as the top defensive forward in the NHL. He led the league in 2012-13 in faceoff percentage, winning 62.1 per cent of them. In his nine seasons, he has 153 goals and 280 assists. He had 10 goals and 22 assists last season. In 83 playoff games, Bergeron has 20 goals -- none bigger than the two he scored in Game 7 of the opening round this season against Toronto. The Bruins won three of the first four games before the Maple Leafs won the next two and led 4-1 with less than 11 minutes left in the third period. Nathan Horton cut the lead to 4-2, Milan Lucic scored an empty-net goal with 1:22 left and Bergeron tied it with another empty-netter with 51 seconds remaining in regulation. Then he won the game -- and the series -- with a goal at 6:05 of overtime. Chiarelli said Bergeron signed even though he could have gotten more money on the open market after next season. "He embodies a lot of what the Bruins stand for," Chiarelli said. "Hes a responsible player. Hes a hard player. Hes a leader. Hes a clutch have gotten more money on the op/www.cheapjerseysauthenticmlb.com/]Wholesale Baseball Jerseys[/url] ' ' '
