CHAPECO, Brazil -- Thousands squeezed into Chapecos cathedral and even more packed a stadium to mourn the death of 71 people in a plane crash, 19 of them members of the Chapecoense club who had been on the brink of soccer greatness. Nike Roshe One DMB .To lose (almost) all of them in such a tragic way, totally destroyed our city and each one of us, Carla Vilembrini said late Tuesday, standing outside Santo Antonio Cathedral. She was dressed like so many others -- in the clubs green and white jerseys.Chapecoenses fantasy season ended on a muddy Colombian mountainside late Monday when a chartered aircraft crashed south of Medellin. Only six of the 77 passengers and crew survived, three of them players.The club was having the best season in its 43-year history, heading to the first of two matches in the final of the Copa Sudamericana, the continents No. 2 club tournament.Distraught residents of this southern Brazilian city of 200,000 people, an agribusiness center near the Argentina border, wandered the streets around the stadium -- known as Arena Conda -- in stunned silence.The city is very quiet, businessman Cecilio Hans said. People will only believe once the bodies start to arrive.On social media, haunting last photos showed the smiling players boarding the flight to Colombia for their match with Atletico Nacional.In one photo, the team celebrated a last-minute save by goalkeeper Danilo only a week ago against the Argentine club San Lorenzo. The save guaranteed Chapecoense a spot in the final -- and ultimately cost Danilo his life in the crash.I cant still believe it, Alan Heinz said inside the stadium, his body pressed against the fence that separates fans from the field. This time the field was filled by a religious service and prayers for the dead.I was preparing for the best day of my life, and now I dont know what my life will be after this, he said.As recently as 2009, the club known as Chape was playing in Brazils fourth division, but it won promotion to the top league in 2014 for the first time since the 1970s.Victories over San Lorenzo and Independente -- two of Argentinas fiercest squads -- as well as the Colombian club Junior took the team to the Copa Sudamericana finals, the equivalent of the UEFA Europa League tournament.Few of the players had an international profile, and none had any appearances with Brazils glitzy national team. Most had played all over Brazil and Latin America. Only a few had ever reached Europe, like Cleber Santana, who played for Atletico Madrid in 2007-10.Chape strikers Bruno Rangel and Kempes, both 34, were among the top scorers in the Brazilian league, with 10 and nine goals, respectively.The only players to survive were goalkeeper Jakson Follmann, defender Helio Zampier, commonly known as Neto, and defender-midfielder Alan Ruschel.Coach Caio Junior is credited with Chapes quick rise, joining the club this year after guiding teams in the Middle East. Born Luiz Carlos Saroli, he coached numerous Brazilian teams, including Palmeiras, Flamengo and Botafogo.He was among the dead. His son, Matheus Saroli, escaped because he didnt make the flight, saying in a Facebook post that he couldnt board because I forgot my passport.An Argentine player on the club, Alejandro Martinuccio, also missed the flight, because of an injury during a game, he told Argentinas La Red radio.I feel deep sadness. The only thing I can ask is prayers for the companions who were on the flight, he said.Also among the dead were 20 sports journalists, including Mario Sergio Pontes de Paiva, a former player who worked as a commentator for Fox Sports. He played briefly for Brazils national team in the early 1980s and had a long career as a midfielder and coach with many Brazilian clubs. He last coached Brazilian club Internacional in 2009 and Ceara in 2010.This is a very, very sad day for football, FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in a statement. At this difficult time our thoughts are with the victims, their families and friends.Brazilian President Michel Temer declared three days of official mourning, while soccer great Pele called it a tragic loss. Brazilian champion Palmeiras asked the countrys football confederation for permission to wear Chapecoenses jersey in its last match of the season.Around the world, the sport paused to remember the victims.Barcelona and Real Madrid held a minute of silence before their practice sessions during the day, and Frances top two leagues observed be a minutes silence at Tuesday nights games.Medellin-based Atletico Nacional said it was asking the South American soccer confederation to give the Copa Sudamericana title to Chape as a tribute to the players who died.Some of Brazils top clubs said they wanted to lend players to Chape for the 2017 season. They also said the team should not be relegated to the second division as it recovers from the disaster.The dream is not over. We will fight back when its time, said Chapes acting club president, Gelson Della Costa.Now its time to take care of the families, he said.---Associated Press sports writer Mauricio Savarese reported this story in Chapeco, Brazil, and AP sports writer Stephen Wade reported from Rio de Janeiro. Nike Roshe Two Flyknit Black . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Nike Roshe One Flight Weight .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win. www.nikeroshesalecheap.com/cheap-nike-roshe-one/nike-sportswear-roshe-one-slip.html  . Brazilian national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has confirmed that the veteran goalkeeper is set to join Toronto on loan, saying it will help him be ready for the World Cup. VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The Vancouver Canucks will try to get rid of the taste of canvas in their mouths Friday when they host the Tampa Bay Lightning.The Canucks (12-16-2) are looking to pick themselves up off the proverbial mat after suffering a stunning 8-6 road knockdown to Carolina on Tuesday. After looking like they would coast to a win, the Canucks squandered a 5-2 lead in the third period.It was pretty deflating, Vancouver goaltender Ryan Miller said after practice Thursday. The nature of hockey and the NHL is, you pretty much more get defined by how you persevere, how you get up off the ground.The Canucks return home after a 1-4 road trip in which speculation resumed on the future of coach Willie Desjardins, who has been tasked with trying to groom young players into National Hockey League regulars and still keep the club in playoff contention. But Desjardins is not willing to let youth, injuries or other factors be used as excuses.It doesnt matter whats happening, Desjardins said after the fast-paced workout at Rogers Arena. If youre up by three in the third period, youve gotta find a way to win.The Lightning (15-13-2) have won just twice in their last nine games, but will provide a good test given that they are legitimate Stanley Cup contenders. They will also provide a tonic of sorts.Vancouvers lone win on the recent road trip was a 5-1 beatdown of the Bolts.Theyll be ready for us, said Desjardins. They werent happy with what had happened at home, and theyre going to come (hard) and theyre a good team -- and we know that. For us, we cant worry about what another team brings. Weve have to worry about what we bring and what we do. We have to get back. We have to recover from the third period (against Carolina). That was a tough one.But the performance in Tampa Bay was a good one. Center Bo Horvat said the Canucks are looking to rediscover the same winning feeling.I thought we had one of our better games in Tampa Bay, said Horvat. We played the systems well. Everybody was working hard. Everybody was going. Obviously, we had some great goaltending, too. Theyre one of the top teams in the league, and they have been for the last couple years. It just shows that we have the team to beat them -- and beat great teams in the league.The Canucks got some good news Thursday ass defenseman Chris Tanev, who has missed 20 games with an ankle injury, returned to practice. Nike Roshe One Print US. He was feeling good afterward and could play Friday, depending on how the ankle fares in the teams morning skate.Im just happy to be out there, said Tanev. It felt good (Thursday), so were taking it day by day right now.Desjardins was optimistic about Tanevs chances of playing but said that another key rearguard who has been out for an extended period, Alex Edler, whose status was questioned Thursday, will likely not return until after Christmas.Meanwhile, the Lightning has more injury concerns after Nikita Kucherov missed Wednesdays 6-3 win in Calgary with an undisclosed injury and winger Ondrej Palat left the game in the second period. They add to a fallen forwards list that includes Steven Stamkos, likely out until the playoffs, and Ryan Callahan, who is considered close to returning.In the meantime, the Bolts have found inspiration from some unlikely scorers. Center Brian Boyles two goals in Calgary ended his scoring drought at 13 games. Meanwhile, defenseman netted his first goal since Oct. 23, 2015, and fellow blueliner Andrej Sustr snapped a 31-game goal drought.It really lifts the guys up on the bench because guys are really pulling for those guys, Lightning coach Jon Cooper told reporters in Calgary. You can just tell theres a weight off their shoulders because it makes them feel a part of things. It was a total team effort (Wednesday.) Kuch is out and we lost Palat early in the second period. Stamkos is out. You need to get goals from somebody. When youre getting them from everybody its a confidence builder for us.Canucks center Brandon Sutter is expecting a strong start from the Lightning, based on the way it commenced the last meeting between the teams. Sutter and his teammates want to avoid taking penalties against a strong power play.But while the Bolts are known for scoring, Boyle contended that goaltender Ben Bishop has been the biggest difference-maker, even though he sports a modest 9-10-1 mark with a .924 save percentage and 2.87 goals-against average.Hes been our best player for quite a few years, Boyle told reporters in Calgary. Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Jerseys NFL Cheap Wholesale Authentic JerseysNFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Authentic Jerseys ' ' '
