midst oof the Arab Spring uprising. Antworten

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Green Bay and Carolina are leading contenders, but five weeks from the end of the season, no team is a bigger disappointment than the Arizona Cardinals.After going 13-3 last season, they were a trendy pick to win it all, a team whose players and coach said that nothing but a Super Bowl would make the season a success.And here they are at 4-6-1.A day after the Cardinals were beaten 38-19 in Atlanta, coach Bruce Arians took aim at his players.He spoke of selfishness instead of selflessness thats crept in.Without naming names, Arians criticized the teams leaders.Right now we are not making the critical plays to win he said, and its got to be corrected soon.He pointed to four or five plays every game that determined the outcome.So why are the players not doing their job 12 weeks into the season?Im very surprised, Arians said. Weve been talking about it for four weeks and the veterans obviously havent done anything about it, so maybe the young guys will step up and make the opportunity they need.He singled out defensive lineman Corey Peters for his outstanding performance against the Falcons.That was the example I used to the rest of them, Arians said. If you just do your job, youll be on the stat sheet.Peters appreciated Arians compliment but brushed it aside.None of that really matters, he said. We didnt get the job done as a whole. Thats my only goal. Thats the only thing I really care about. Weve just got to get back to the drawing board and try to get it fixed.Then there was a matter of his teams lack of ferocity.Why we werent as physical as I thought we would be is a question, Arians said.He used the teams goal-line defense as an example.You just dont allow people to run the ball, Arians said. You let them throw it in, but you dont allow them to run it in, and they ran it in twice.Peters agreed with Arians assessment.I think they ran for 120-something yards (actually 116). Thats always a good way to kind of judge the physicality of a game, he said. We just watched the tape and we definitely failed in some areas. But its not anything thats not correctable. Were running out of opportunities to get things fixed around here so I think everybody is going to be really locked in and focused this week.After losses on the road to Minnesota and Atlanta, the Cardinals are home against Washington on Sunday.Arians and Peters still held out some hope for a playoff spot, a thought that seems ludicrous given recent performances but is mathematically possible due to the jumbled battle for the NFCs second wild card spot.Definitely the season has been disappointing this far, Peters said. but were still hopeful. Were kind of moving on and kind of taking the mindset of `the next game attitude.Arians said you take them one at a time.I think once we win one well be fine, he said. I think well add them up at nine (wins) and I think we still have a great shot because were going to be playing some of those teams that are going to be in the same spot were in. We just have to win one.As of Monday, Washington was in the second wild card spot at 6-4-1. Minnesota (6-5), Tampa Bay (6-5), Philadelphia (5-5 and playing 4-6 Green Bay on Monday night) and New Orleans (5-6) were all ahead of Arizona.And theres no evidence that these Cardinals are poised for any big run.Game notes Arians said that, due to injuries, he would go with the same young, inexperienced offensive line that had so much trouble against Atlanta. ... Arians said cornerback Patrick Petersons sore knee did not have any structural damage so well see how it goes. .... Arizona released cornerback Christian Bryant.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Fake Jordan Shoes . Team physician Dr. Steve Traina performed the surgery Friday.

LONDON -- Bob Bradley persevered in Egypt through a violent uprising, exceled in Norway with limited resources and dropped into Frances second tier league to further prove his coaching credentials.Throughout the arduous journey after leading the United States at the 2010 World Cup, Bradley remained fixed on the ultimate goal -- a job in a top European league.Now, after years of setbacks and rejections, the 58-year-old Bradley has arrived in the richest soccer league of all after landing a job with Swansea City on Monday.The Premier League has had 21 different nationalities managing its teams, but Bradley is the first American after replacing the fired Francesco Guidolin in south Wales.Bob is extraordinarily intelligent about the game, his work ethic is second to none, and the way he manages teams and deals with people are all outstanding, U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati told The Associated Press on Monday.You need a number of things to go right to get an opportunity like this (in the Premier League) and to break through if you are not in the regular circle of coaches that are considered for such opportunities.As the years rolled by, Bradley grew frustrated that he was interviewed for such opportunities in elite leagues but then overlooked for more established European names.In many cases decision-makers play it safe, Bradley told the AP last year while completing his second season with Norwegian club Stabaek. Theres certainly a network. There are still a lot of good managers. There are also a lot of bad managers. Its not to say that sometimes you dont shake your head at how certain guys keep popping up in jobs.Bradleys early career developed out of the limelight. Never a professional player, the New Jersey native gained his early managerial experience in college soccer. He coached Princeton University, became an assistant with Major League Soccers D.C. United in 1996, then led the Chicago Fire, MetroStars and Chivas USA teams before landing the U.S. national team job in 2006.The world was soon taking notice, particularly at the 2009 Confederations Cup where the Americans ended then-European champion Spains 35-match winning streak en route to the final.Bradleys reputation grew and the U.S. won a 2010 World Cup group, which included England, before going out in the second round.After being fired by U.S. Soccers Gulati in 2011, Bradley sought a new challenge. It was one of the most daunting in world soccer, taking charge of Egypt in the midst oof the Arab Spring uprising.ddddddddddddThe American Pharaoh -- as he became known -- gained admiration there by sticking with the job even as Egypt was being shaken by deadly fan disorder, part of the wider anarchy in a nation going through violent street protests and bloody security crackdowns.Bradley left Egypt after failing to qualify for the 2014 World Cup and moved to Stabaek, which he departed after securing qualification for the Europa League last year. He impressed in his next job too, in France, where Le Havre only missed out on promotion to the top division in May on goal difference.Bradley called the Swansea job a unique opportunity in a parting message on Le Havres website.I know its the exposure Ive enjoyed at the club that has given me the opportunity to coach a Premier League team, he said.Bradley is swapping one for small port city for another. Like at Le Havre, Bradley will be working under American ownership in Swansea, a former industrial city with a population of less than 250,000. Steve Kaplan, a minority owner and executive vice chairman of the NBAs Memphis Grizzlies, and Jason Levien, a part-owner of D.C. United, took control of Swansea in July.With Swansea winning only one of its opening seven league matches, the owners felt compelled to act. Guidolin, who has only been at the south Wales club since January, became the first manager to be fired in the Premier League this season -- and on his 61st birthday.After the two-week international break, Bradley faces a daunting first game in charge: a trip to Arsene Wengers Arsenal on Oct. 15.He is highly regarded as a coach and has a wealth of experience on the international and domestic front, Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins said. He is well aware of the clubs footballing philosophy and will provide us with strong leadership qualities and a renewed belief to compete at this level.It is never easy changing managers, but we are looking at a long-term appointment and we are confident Bob can settle us down and stabilize matters on and off the pitch.Bradley is not the only American manager in English soccer. David Wagner has started the second-tier League Championship season at Huddersfield by winning eight out of 11 games, taking the northern English team to top spot in the division.---Rob Harris is at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReports ' ' '
