SAO PAULO - Landon Donovan says the United States will head to the World Cup with its most experienced group of players, giving the Americans a "real chance" to do well at this years tournament. As the U.S. finishes a week-and-a-half training camp in the host country, Donovan said American players have enough confidence and experience to confront more traditional World Cup teams heading into a first round that includes matches against Germany, Portugal and Ghana. "I think the experience that we have now far exceeds the experience that we ever had with any team, and that lines up to give us a real chance," Donovan said Thursday. "We are confident in how we play. We are confident in what we do. Our guys have had enough experiences against all of these players, against teams like Ghana, Portugal, Germany. ... We feel confident that we can get results against them, and thats a nice feeling going into a World Cup." The U.S. opens against Ghana on June 16, plays Cristiano Ronaldos Portugal six days later and closes the group stage against Germany on June 26. The Americans will be playing in their seventh straight World Cup, and Donovan is heading to his fourth. "Theres never been competition for places like there is in our team now," the midfielder said during a news conference. "You can really make a case for probably 35 or 40 guys to be a part of a 23-man roster, and thats never been the case. Its really up for grabs in a lot of positions, and that in itself obviously creates competition, which makes the team better." Donovan, who turns 32 in March, said the U.S. team is more respected by opponents. "The reason its the group of death is because we are in it," he said. "In the past, it would have been a relatively easier group for Germany or Ghana or Portugal because they had us in it. But now, because we are in it, it makes it one of the most difficult groups in the tournament." Donovan said the first goal remains to reach the knockout stage of the 32-nation tournament. "Our expectations, like most teams, are to get out of the group," he said. "We are aware that we have a difficult group, but the expectation is that we can do it and we are going to try to get out of our group, just like most teams in this World Cup. That is the objective. That is the goal. But we feel good about where we are at." German coach Jurgen Klinsmann brought 26 players to this training camp get acclimated to the teams World Cup base in South Americas biggest city. The team, mostly with players from Major League Soccer, will play an exhibition against South Korea on Feb. 1 at Carson, Calif. "Weve been very lucky to have two weeks here in Sao Paulo," Donovan said. "Its been very nice to have a couple of weeks to adapt to what its going to be like this summer. When we come back we have a comfort level. We know the people, the club, the training facilities. It makes it a lot easier. You get a feeling for what its like here, and it helps a lot." Klinsmann is expected to visit the Arena da Amazonia on Friday in the jungle city of Manaus, where the U.S. will play Portugal. Aleix Vidal Jersey . -- Jerry Rice Jr. Ousmane Dembele Jersey .

Hes recovered from a scary injury and cleared to play. Mingo, who was hospitalized with a bruised lung he sustained in an Aug.DENVER - These Denver Broncos arent as slick as last years high-flying, record-breaking bunch, the one that was stopped cold in the Super Bowl.Were much more complete and weve got an identity now, Chris Harris Jr. said after the Broncos overcame a rare unsteady outing by Peyton Manning to beat the Buffalo Bills 24-17 Sunday behind C.J. Andersons three touchdown runs.Mannings streak of 51 games with a touchdown throw — three shy of Drew Brees NFL record — ended on a sun-splashed, almost still afternoon with the game-time temperature a balmy 63 degrees. Despite three turnovers, the Broncos (10-3) won their third straight game since changing from a pass-oriented attack to a run-heavy approach.I hope fans will still keep coming to the games, Manning deadpanned.The five-time MVP whos made a living throwing the ball insisted hes fine with handing it off.Im comfortable with winning, Manning said. Thats what Im comfortable with.And he said hes enjoying watching Anderson, who contributed a tough 58 yards on 21 carries, as much as the fans are.Sometimes I get a minus on my grade sheet for not carrying out my fake, but I like to kind of watch him, Manning said. He makes a lot of guys miss.Manning finished 14 of 20 for 173 yards with two interceptions. His top receiver, Demaryius Thomas, was hobbled by bruised right ankle and held to two catches for 11 yards, and tight end Julius Thomas (ankle) didnt play for the third straight week.Today was tough and a struggle, but at the end the day we got the W, and hes proud about that and were proud about that, Anderson said.Any week, he said, Manning can go out there and throw eight touchdowns. We all sat here and saw him throw seven touchdowns (against Baltimore last year). I dont think theres anything wrong with 18, I think hes completely fine. Its up to us to help him.Wes Welker did, awakening from a season-long slumber to lead the Broncos with six catches for 82 yards.This was not the game for the receivers to have a lot of big numbers, Manning said, but Wes play helped us get this victory.ddddddddddddFormer Broncos QB Kyle Orton had a day like Manning usually does: 38 of 57 for 355 yards. He led the Bills (7-6) on two long TD drives in the fourth quarter after theyd fallen behind 21-3.His 38 completions tied a team record and his 58 attempts is a franchise high.Not good enough to beat a good football team, said Orton, who was sacked four times.Manning threw two interceptions deep in Buffalo territory and tight end Jacob Tamme fumbled at the Bills 10-yard line. Otherwise, it wouldnt have come down to David Bruton Jr.s recovery of an onside kick in the final minute.Theyve got a great defence, Buffalo receiver Sammy Watkins said. They do a lot of things, a lot of moving parts moving around, a lot of switching off, so you have to be disciplined.With Manning out of sorts, Anderson bailed out the Broncos with TD runs of 6, 1 and 3 yards. The latter score followed a 47-yard burst by fellow undrafted tailback Juwan Thompson.The Broncos had three takeaways for the second straight week, including a goal line interception by Harris in the third quarter that led to a 50-yard field goal by Connor Barth.It feels good to be balanced, Emmanuel Sanders said.A month ago, Denvers offence was a mess, with the line taking heavy heat after Manning threw 54 passes and handed off just nine times in a decisive loss at St. Louis.As you guys noted, three weeks ago we werent nothing, we were garbage, we were terrible, Orlando Franklin said, repeating some of the things that were said about his O-line last month.After holding Buffalo without a sack for the first time in more than a year, Denvers line is being praised, not pilloried.You have to give it to the big boys up front, said Anderson.Notes: ... With 127 yards on seven catches, Watkins became the first Bills rookie with four 100-yard games in a season. ... Manning threw just nine times in the first half, completing six. ... Corey Graham intercepted a pass and recovered.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
