e deal. Feghouli had a brea

• LONDON -- The English Football Association is appealing against the three-match ban that is set to rule Wayne Rooney out of the group stage of next years European Championship. <a href="http://www.officialblackhawksstore.us/">Jonathan Toews Jersey</a>. The striker was sent off in Englands last Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro for kicking a player in a petulant incident which UEFA deemed to be an assault. UEFA increased the punishment from the automatic one-game ban to a three-game suspension and England has lodged its appeal after receiving the written reasons from European footballs governing body. "The FA can confirm it will be appealing the UEFA sanction against Wayne Rooney following his red card against Montenegro," the FA said Friday. "The written reasons were received on Tuesday evening with a deadline of midnight tonight to respond, which we have now done so formally." The FA has until next week to submit the grounds for its appeal. "Even if its reduced by one game, it will be a bonus for me," Rooney said. The victim of Rooneys challenge, defender Miodrag Dzudovic, has written to UEFA to lend his support to the Manchester United forward. But Rooney is accepting full responsibility for the kick that came after losing possession. "Obviously, its devastating for me but its something thats my own fault, so I cant really complain," he said this week. "It was stupid by me. I regretted it as soon as I did it. Its no excuse, but I still feel the punishment is a bit harsh. Im disappointed with it." Coach Fabio Capello has said Rooney is unlikely to be named in the squad on Sunday for upcoming friendlies against Spain and Sweden. Capello wants to use the matches -- and another friendly against the Netherlands in February -- to test out alternatives up front. <a href="http://www.officialblackhawksstore.us/">Duncan Keith Authentic Jersey</a>. The Bombers fired their head coach on Saturday and replaced him with defensive co-ordinator Tim Burke, wholl have the rest of the season to improve the 2-6 squad before his performance is evaluated. <a href="http://www.officialblackhawksstore.us/">Jonathan Toews Womens Jersey</a>." The former U.S. Postal Service rider failed an out-of-competition doping test on Aug. 29, the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport said, and was provisionally suspended by Cycling South Africa ahead of an independent tribunal. He now faces a two-year ban. <a href="http://www.officialblackhawksstore.us/">http://www.officialblackhawksstore.us/</a>;. Kevin-Prince Boateng almost rescued a point for Milan in stoppage time but his effort crashed off the right post. Milan midfielder Mathieu Flamini could also have scored in a frantic finale but his effort was cleared off the line by Sampdoria defender Daniele Gastaldello. <a href="http://www.officialblackhawksstore.us/">Jonathan Toews Authentic Jersey</a>. He offered a simple vow instead. "I wont regret Game 7," James said. <a href="http://www.officialblackhawksstore.us/">Patrick Sharp Jersey</a>. The Los Angeles Lakers, who might have been considered fringe contenders as long as Kobe Bryant is part of the plan, changed the discussion when they added two All-Stars to their roster this summer, trading for centre Dwight Howard and signing point guard Steve Nash to give Kobe all the support he needs to challenge for another title. VALENCIA, Spain -- Valencia says forward Sofiane Feghouli has agreed to extend his contract with the club by two more years until 2016. The club did not release the financial details of the deal. Feghouli had a breakout campaign last season when he filled in admirably after the exit of wingger Juan Mata to Chelsea, scoring six goals. <a href="http://www.officialblackhawksstore.us/">Jonathan Toews Red Jersey</a> The 23-year-old French player has scored three goals for Valencia this season, his third with the Spanish club. Valencia has made the knockout round of the Champions League and is in ninth place in the Spanish league. ' ' '
